Portobello Gold Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

Gorgeous dining experience in the private room for a birthday. Vibes, food, and service from Raquel were all incredible!!

Excellent! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the ambiance is very pleasant, the food is good, it is prepared in an open kitchen. Out of 3 dishes, one piece of meat was tough, they immediately replaced it with another dish and did not charge anything for that person, a very good and rare gesture, thank you!! They made us have a wonderful time and we feel great! RECOMMENDED! We will definitely come again!

We had lunch here today. Food was outstanding as was the friendly service. Great atmosphere too. We would love to come back and try out more of the menu!

Absolutely great. Food is very tasty and very friendly service.

OMG!! The food is so good! This place is a gem! The portions are generous and the quality of the food exquisite!

We had only vegetarian dishes and they were all great. The grilled/smoked cabbage and cauliflower dishes were some of my favourite. Great flavours and choices.

Stopped by on a whim and it did not disappoint. Food was amazing and ambience was 👌. Service was attentive but relaxed. Parked right outside in a bay. We'll be back to try more of the menu and cocktails.

The food is delicious! The beautiful place! Super recommended

Chicken was great So was beef pasta

Awesome place. My first time! I will be back for sure :)))

Loved the.food sharing concept, very tasty and fresh. Service was attentive and helpful

Loved going here for dinner with friends, sat outside for dinner as it was busy inside (book ahead!!) and then we finished the night inside with drinks. A great night all round!

The food was fabulous, including a lot of vegetarian options. The lighting, music, interiors, smells, and overall vibes made it an energetic place to be and the servers were awesome!

An outstanding vibrant heartful all aroung great experience. True jem of the neighborhood.

One of the best spots in Notting hill.

Amazing cocktails. Some of the most unique I have ever seen. I haven't had the privilege of eating here yet but I can't wait to return one day. The bartender was a bit grumpy but that's ok we all have our days ;)

Went here after a friend's recommendation. Good food, great ambience but just terrible service. The food took forever to arrive, and the servers just didn't seem to care and were borderline rude. Not coming back!

An unforgettable fusion dining experience!

Excellent. Special thanks to Austin for helping make our meal memorable as well as the quality ingredients, favours and ambiance. And thank you Allie for your help in the peper grinder hunt.

A fantastic and very Notting Hill place. Food is very nice and overpriced. Very much like the Notting Hill neighborhood, nice and overpriced. I’m not sure what the concept is called, maybe Luxury Tapas. A lot of current London restaurants seem to be based on these concepts these days. The issue for me is that you loose the simplicity and “in-your-face” quality of tapas without quite getting the subtleties and sophistication of proper gastronomy. This said, we had a great time. It was a lovely evening and the walk back in this cool March weather saved the night.

We loved this place. Such a good vibe and atmosphere. The food was delicious- creative and inventive and really enjoyable. The burrata starter was so good- one of the best "salads" I've ever had.

We went for a wedding celebration and Rachael was our host. She was the absolute best and made the occasion truly special. Thank you so much for going over and beyond to make us feel so welcomed and loved during such a special day.

Great ambiance. Great Food. Great Service. Definitely going back.

The roasted pineapple Paloma was the BEST cocktail I’ve ever had! Worth the price tag. I ordered the steak, well-done, and they cooked it perfectly! The sprouting broccoli as my app was also delicious. We sat outside and it was quite pleasant. The service was great as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Very nice place, elegant, delicious food the only thing that went wrong was that when we asked for our order the waiter got the dish mixed up and sent us another one that wasn't the right one. In the end they apologized, they sent the correct one

Delicious food! Very expensive though since you need to order many small plates.

Food with different touches, delicious. Gin and tonics in small glass and very expensive.

all food was great and the total price was lower than i expected for such a popular restaurant. The nduja chicken, ravioli, salad and the meatball dishes were great

Some of the most unique and tasty dishes I’ve ever had. Get the banana old fashioned, it’ll blow your mind!

Lovely interior , nice staff interesting menu but £8.90 for a 125ml glass of house Rose (wasn’t Provence that was much more ) proves that people have lost the plot , slightly biased I agree due we spend much of the year in Provence however this is madness .. and typical of this area in London.

Totally not cheap. Totally worth it.

A beautiful restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and decor. The staff is incredibly polite, especially the sweet and always smiling Marina! You should definitely come and try their modern cuisine, featuring a fantastic and innovative combination of flavors!

Stunning Restaurant with great vibes & staff very friendly yet knowledgeable and attentive ! We had a lovely meal Starting with a selection of very tasty starters , really enjoyed the king oyster mushrooms , the beef carpaccio & the tuna ! Followed by a beautifully cooked seabream with capers and delicious chicken with nduja sauce , dessert very nice too ! Torta della nonna and carrot 🥕 cake a must try !

Had the most amazing experience at Gold Notting Hill! The food was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance was just perfect. Everything from the flavors to the presentation was on point. Highly recommend for a great dining experience

A bit expensive, but it worth it

One of the best places I’ve been in London!!

The open kitchen and wood-fired cooking added a nice touch to the experience.The Seabass Carpaccio was fresh with a nice chili kick, while the Burrata with charred pear was creamy and well-balanced. The Porchetta was rich and flavorful, and the Chargrilled Polenta with Gorgonzola was rustic and comforting.

We recently hired out the private dining room for our baby shower and it was fantastic. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, but best of all was Raquel. Raquel was beyond phenomenal with everything she did, the service, the conversations and the way she just made us all feel so welcome was hard to match! thank you for making a special night even more special for us!

Great place with a cool vibe, food was fabulous!

Modern European food. Went with family for on a Sunday - reserved beforehand. Locate in the hustle & bustle of Notting Hill, Gold is a great restaurant for lunch. Fab service and would imagine busy of an evening. Loved it, def recommend booking if going in a weekend.

Fantastic food the ambiance is amazing

The atmosphere is the amazing in ground floor with the garden same in the first floor

I was really looking forward to this as a good friend had recommended us. To be honest, I wasn't going to say anything but thought I should, really. The service was welcoming, and attentive are vegetarian dishes were nice, not amazing but interesting flavours. Are meat dishes we're a prawn and chicken dish. The chicken dish was not very nice it was burnt, both the bread and chicken, and the meat was dry. I did mention this to the waiter at the end, thinking he would do something, but he never did. It was my mistake as I should have said something earlier. I thought as he was so helpful earlier on that he would have done something. I don't really like to make a fuss or scene, but I was let down by this handling of this. Would I go again??

Incredible lunch at Gold. Every dish we had was amazing, drinks were lovely and the ambiance is so warm and inviting. My favourite restaurant I’ve been to whenever I visit London!

Love it here. Everything perfect

A very nice place, the food was excellent and the waiters very friendly.

We walked in for lunch without a reservation and had a lovely meal in a lovely settings

The place is spectacular, very cozy with a fireplace, good music, very good atmosphere, super cozy and pleasant. The food is not so spectacular according to my gastronomic taste but the food is not bad, priced like the vast majority of places in London, somewhat expensive but it is definitely worth going.

Gold is an extraordinary restaurant, perfect for those looking for a refined culinary experience in an elegant but welcoming environment. The menu is studied down to the smallest detail, with dishes cooked to perfection. The venue is spacious, with a unique atmosphere thanks to the refined design. The service is impeccable and special thanks go to Carina, a kind and professional waitress, always attentive to every need. A must-see place in the heart of Notting Hill!

The decor, ambience and vibe are beautifully thought through and designed. Sitting at a table in the back, the place feels like you're sat in a tropical jungle by candlelight. A wonderful concept for the look, and the food looks good on the plate too. Yet again, them proving that style over substance is a poor approach when building a restaurant, particularly one that wants to charge heftily for its food. The soul of any good restaurant is the food, and food without depth (of flavour, or thought) such as what you may find at Gold, can only cause a reaction of deep disappointment because the beautiful setting that was so charming before the food arrived, and that got you cheering for them, only turned to a false promise once the food arrived. Several others may rate this restaurant highly because of its date night potential, and maybe because they are confusing nice plating for flavour, or maybe because it represents the landscape of London restaurants at large, but without hitting the spot with the food, a restaurant can never separate itself from the rest.

The staff was great and the food was amazing

A great place to dine. Ambiance is great and the food is better than it needs to be. A lot of vegetable options that are executed well, perhaps better than the meat. The sourdough tiramisu was incredible

I am delighted with this place! I was in London solo, so I had a lot of concerns about dining alone in restaurants, where usually there are at least two people, but in this place I felt very taken care of and generally did not feel any discomfort despite having dinner alone. The service was very nice and friendly, the waiter often checked if everything was OK and if he could serve something else - maybe this is something you don't pay that much attention to when you're with someone, but when I ate alone in several restaurants, most of them just felt awkward, the service was nice but not very interested, and here, thanks to the service, I felt completely relaxed. As for the restaurant itself, it's a beautiful place, I had dinner in the evening, amazing atmosphere - plants, candles, pleasant colors. The food was excellent too! The prices may not be the lowest, but I really don't regret a penny. I have nothing to complain about, I will definitely come back here when I am in London again.

Raquel was the best. Would come back anytime. Whatever she's being paid, it needs to be doubled - beyond the quality of the food, she made the experience 1000/10.

Everything we ate had a special taste. The presentation and flavor were excellent. We really liked it. It’s a place with a perfect atmosphere that I will recommend to my friends. I will come again 🙋🏻‍♀️

One of the best restaurants. Good food and comfortable atmosphere. Thanks.

This spot is so nice! My friend and I went for dinner on a Monday evening, so wasn’t too busy, although we still booked a table. The interior was lovely with so much greenery. Food was great - we had the sweet potato, trout ceviche, roasted cauliflower and the pappardelle. We loved everything - the trout was a standout. The menu has a lot of selection, so I’d recommend going with a group so you can try lots of different things. I’ll be back to try more out on their menu!

A delicious meal as always, a place I keep coming back to because the food, drinks and atmosphere are amazing!

Amazing food in fantastic surroundings. We ate in the garden!

Crazy experience! We had lunch by chance in this restaurant, at the kitchen counter, which made everything even more engaging. Every dish was super good and with attention to the smallest details. Great attention to gluten-free, thanks also to an Italian chef with whom we had the pleasure of speaking. Attentive service, vibrant atmosphere and excellent food. Absolutely worth it!

I organised a Sunday birthday party lunch for myself and 22 guests in Gold's private dining room and it was a total success! Everyone had a wonderful time, and they all commented on the fantastic service and the food which was delicious. The only slight downside was that the kitchen had a problem that day so the food delivery wasn't as quick as expected, and there were some gaps between the starters, mains, and puddings. Gold's staff apologised during the meal for the delay, and everyone was having such a good time that it didn’t impact significantly, but if you're having a party there it's worth reminding them on the day. I would also like to commend our waitress, Racquel. She was superb, everyone loved her, and at the end of the meal she took me to one side, praised my friends and family and the love for me that was in the room. I was very touched and humbled by her kind words, so see if you can get her if you're planning a lunch or dinner for a group of friends.

Interesting place, meat wasn't to my taste bit too chewie, but sweet potato was good. Buzzing atmosphere and nice staff.

Giving 4 stars only for the ambience. It is a very pretty place. Food is average though and very pricey.

We had lunch here with friends, it was a wonderful experience! Excellent quality food and raw materials (wide vegetarian choice!) Attentive and very friendly staff. Elegant, welcoming and intimate location (a wonderful internal garden! 😍) We also really liked the selection of drinks. We recommend to everyone

Wow - one of the best meals I’ve had! A local favorite and felt right at home.

Mediterranean cuisine Neat dishes Good materials Nice space Nice flavors Everything fine

Very pleasant place in Notting Hill. The food is very good and of good quality. We who don't speak English very well, the waiters did everything to help us 🙏

Very nice Sunday afternoon in this place! definitely recommend it.

The food is very good. My mum & I were seated at the bar tables watching the kitchen. Unfortunately, we got to watch the food get prepared. One of the chefs kept touching all the food and re-arranging it with her bear hands, but then she would touch pans, pots, dirty towels. She would open the straw of her water bottle where she puts her mouth and then re-arrange leafs, sweet potatoes, chicken etc. I did not find the kitchen very hygienic. It was difficult to eat the food that was served after. We notified the waiter but it was too late.

My experience at Gold was one of excellent customer service. The interior is beautiful - even on a rainy day, the garden area feels like you’re outside. And although there were a few errors made during our lunch, they managed to handle it graciously and thoughtfully. I was totally impressed. They absolutely know how to make you feel like valued guests. We’ll be back!

First time yesterday with friends for a big lunch and we were all very impressed. The ambience is relaxed yet uplifting, and the plant decor is very welcoming. Every member of staff was helpful and attentive. They knew the menu including wine selections well and were spot on with recommendations. We ordered a selection of dishes and it was fantastic to have different, and of course delicious, food. Everything we ordered was just perfect, many interesting dishes, and the wine was also very spot on. Really one of the best restaurants I've been to for a long time and I look forward to returning.

Came here for dinner on a Monday night. We were a party of 4 so ordered 8 dishes to share as the server advised. The starters and veggies were amazing. Beets with horseradish sauce, delicata squash, burrata with roasted pears and prosciutto. Sooooo good. Mains not so much except for the chicken which was exceptional. Will be back.

Seriously seriously good food + cocktails. We sat at the counter and were looked after by Martina who was AMAZING - we took all her recommendations and could not have chosen better. Order the thalassa cocktail, clementine margarita, pigeon pasta (seasonal) and blue potatoes. 10/10 for food and service. Thank you!!

Went out for a few Mojitos, but, unfortunately,not the best... shame, place must be amazing to eat there. Perhaps, will give it a second chance.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at gold Notting Hill , and I can confidently say it's one of the best Mediterranean spots I've visited. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting—soft lighting, earthy tones, and cozy seating made for a comfortable dining environment. The menu offers a beautiful variety of modern Mediterranean cuisine, with fresh ingredients and vibrant flavour's. Couldn’t ask for a better service Would definitely recommend

Really lovely restaurant, great lighting and atmosphere and incredible food

I absolutely love the atmosphere and food at Gold, and the cocktails are fantastic as well. I work nearby, so I often visit for after-work drinks-dinner. Also came late several times after 9pm for weekend dinners with friends. It’s a great spot for a great evening. That said, the service can be a bit of a letdown…. While I understand the common 2-hour table policy in London, being reminded of it every 30 minutes makes the experience feel rushed and uncomfortable. Yesterday, we ordered cocktails and asked if we could have the food after we finished our drinks. The waiter reminded the 2-hour policy and reassured us that the food would take a while to prepare, so it wouldn't arrive too soon. Yet, the food came just five minutes later. This inconsistency is frustrating, especially when you're trying to enjoy your time without being rushed and eat in our own time. We were going to order another bottle of wine being moved to the sofas, but i felt like going to another place which we feel more welcomed and we left… On another visit a couple of weeks ago, we were repeatedly asked every 15 minutes if we wanted to order more food, despite already having ordered 4 plates for 3 people and many drinks. Not everyone has to spend your average calc on food per person. If I am not too hungry, I won’t eat more-simple as that. It felt like we were being pushed, which really detracts from the laid-back vibe that should come with the place. Gold has so much potential, but the staff (&management) could benefit from being more mindful of the customer experience. A more relaxed and accommodating approach would definitely improve the overall atmosphere.

Have been looking forward to trying Gold. Much of the food is very tasty but I didn’t think overall it is good enough for the high price tag. We were informed on arrival that each dish would come one by one to share, but they then were served together. It was suggested that one orders 2-3 dishes per person, which with most priced at a main course, you end up spending a lot - I spent more than one could at Michelin starred or very accomplished Chef’s restaurants. The menu provides an extensive list of ingredients for most dishes, but does not indicate the relative quantities which creates quite a risk of disappointment if you order it because of one of the things on there. Some of the dishes were missing the advertised ingredients and then others beared no resemblance to what one hoped when ordering. That said, the overall cooking standard seemed good, albeit very high in fats. The beef agnelotti were very good. The pudding seemed basic but tasty. The service was fine, but had to wait to order and wait for the bill. The ambience of the restaurant is okay, but tableware etc is very basic. My chair was not comfortable and in poor condition, fortunately it stayed intact for the meal. The price of the wine list is high, failing to compensate for the food. If you are price insensitive, go ahead an have a very nice meal with lots of options, but if you are thinking of value, you can have more for less.

Our favorite restaurant in London. Everything is amazing.

Loved their al fresco dining bit & open kitchen. Great food, though the hispi cabbage (which is a popular item of theirs) had good flavour, the extra crunch on top was a bit too salty & sandy for me - personal preference though. In terms of cost, definitely on the spennier side

Tasty food, great service and lively atmosphere. Creative and well presented cocktails too! Went for a birthday dinner and the ambiance was 10/10. Dimmed lights yet viby at the same time.

Incredibly surprised by how good Gold is given the hype around it. The salads are out of this world. I'll definitely be going back!

Had the chance to go to Gold for a team dinner and can say that it is a solid selection for a high energy group outing. The dining room is filled with plants which creates an indoor/outdoor feel despite the space being enclosed. The menu is eclectic with a variety of shareable dishes that range across raw, vegetables and larger plates. While my group tried a variety of dishes, the grilled Prawns were a standout for me. Gold is a restaurant that works for a variety of occasions and is well worth a visit.

Great atmosphere, welcoming staff and delectable cocktails 😋

I was very happy to dine here. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing, very chill, quiet with lovely decoration. All the food we ordered, I feel it had influences from all over the world and it was delicious. We were very happy with all our dishes. The salad was ok. The drinks and the desert wasn’t very interesting, they were flat, nothing special. But I will definitely go back. I finally found a gem. Hopefully, they will introduce more cocktails and they will make the drinks stronger. It was like having a lemonade with herbs. The staff was also exceptional. Everyone was very well mannered, smiley and polite which made our experience even more pleasant. Thank you everyone that worked on New Year’s Day between 17.30-19.30.

Well worth it!! Sampled several dishes and all had unique and flavor mixtures that were “just right.” The chicken dish was unlike many other dishes. Like buffalo chicken but not as spicy or overwhelming and texture with tomato base gave it a gourmet profile very unique.

I actually feel bad that I have to send this review. But I felt really offended after my meal. Going inside our family was very excited to have chosen this splendid place for our New Year’s Eve meal. While the food was generally tasty and innovative, our whole experience was dampened by a particular individual. She was probably not a waitress but a “manager” of some sort standing by the serving counter in a t shirt (blond pony tail). All our dishes were served including the 2 of 3 mains. But we had to wait for a while longer for the seabream (understandable). However, when it was ready sitting on the counter, I waited patiently for it to be served. At least 5 mins went by and it was still sitting on the counter. So I asked if she could please help check on my fish and if the one on the counter was mine. What would be a typical response? Well, she replied “it will be served according to order”. So, I accepted and waited another 5 minutes while she happily continued chatting to her colleague and ignoring that the fish was still sitting on the counter. When the fish finally arrived it was lukewarm and really spoiled the whole dining experience. It’s a pity, that they have staff responding so poorly to paying customers. After this experience, we will definitely not come back again.

I’m Italian and I love Italian food! The ravioli there are amazing!!! Also the trout taratare, highly recommended!

Amazing food. Pasta is class. Service was top notch

Great food great vibe great staff

Delicious food! Small plates with generous portions with every bite as exceptional as the next. Incredible service - perfect private dining areas - have used both the first and second floor on different occasions and each is as perfect as the next.

Beautiful venue, amazing food, even better service. Oscar was our server and he went above and beyond with our wine recs and general convo. Can’t wait to come back!

My husband and I were in the neighborhood looking for a place for our dinner. My husband found Gold on Google Maps, and we decided to just hop in without a reservation even though it seemed like a tough spot to get in. We are so glad we did-we got bar seats right away. This restaurant is amazing, and it has a Chef’s Table vibe. It’s always exciting to watch how the magic being created in the kitchen, but it also feel comfortable, not too pretentious. We ordered a variety of food, and my favorite dish was the Whole Bream- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Honestly, all the other dishes were delicious too, even the dessert. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone I know, great food, great vibes, and wonderful experience.

What a lunch.. not enough stars to truly rate! It was exceptional.. the food was an explosion in your mouth with every bite. I’m coming back just for the roasted cauliflower. The pasta, pork and beef just delicious.

An incredible place, and made all the better by our server! She was wonderfully helpful and cheery

Food took quite a while to arrive even though the place was not over busy.

Firstly, a huge shout out to Mohammed who served us on the night & provided us with a fine-dine level of service, attention & care which honestly made our evening. And despite a small error in the kitchen, he went above & beyond to compensate. Food was also incredible. Only reason I’ve given the food 4/5 stars is that the steak dish was really tough (however flavours were still so good & they kindly offered to replace the dish for us). Favorite dishes of the night were the trout cerviche, mushroom on toast, sea bass carpaccio, hispi cabbage, agnolotti & the desserts. Atmosphere was stunning. Can’t wait to come back & an absolute must go in London! Has made it into my top 3.

We had a lovely dinner few days ago in Gold. Everything was very good, especially the service was smooth and very kind. Only thing was that all the food came too quickly (I know, not a real problem) but you can't help to get the feeling of hurry when you are there to enjoy very good food, excellent service and great atmosphere.

Honestly it is one of the best restaurant I did in my life. I don’t know what else I could say. The place is fantastic, service is perfect and the food is one of the best I’ve ever had.

Great food options for all, very accommodating for babies
