Kensington Place

Light, airy and vibrant..it seems that this Notting Hill institution is determined to be a main stayer of the London dining scene. Service is bright and attentive without being intrusive and the food is elegant, fresh and well presented. Reasonably priced for the quality of the food and wine comes in carafes as well which is great for those who enjoy more than a glass... highly recommended!

A colleague and I lunched here on the 12th July. Although this restaurant's menu is heavily into fish I went for the braised suckling pig from the very reasonably priced set lunch menu and it was just delicious, as were the shrimps' starter and raspberry flan pud. The service was exemplary too, and managed to be friendly without being over familiar. If my wife behaves herself I might just bring her here for dinner one evening soon.

A relaxed ambience with very polite and attentive staff, really impressed with the service. The food was beautifully presented and was overall very well cooked and tasted fantastic! Not overpriced either. Would go back again definitely, had a lovely evening.

I've been there couple of times: never disappointed!

A good balance between superb food and cheap price, plus an attentive and charming service.

I definitely recommend it.

There was confusion right from the start. The waiters deemed unfamiliar with food etiquette. The champagne was not available and there was no bread with the foie gras. It would appear that there was little co-ordination.

The food was well presented but the service was poor. Nobody seemed to want to work in this restaurant even though it was only 8pm.

Won't be going back in a hurry.

I took a client here for lunch and was very impressed - so much so I'm thinking of booking our office Christmas 'do' here! Will definitely be back myself, excellent food and excellent service.

Kensington Place was excellent...

The food was good and the value better. The service was attentive yet not to pushy.

Would love to return. RECOMMENDED.

I agree. The restaaurant has lost it's charm. The service is haphazard and unsmiling. One should never be hungry as the portions are small. The food is just messed about with the odd smears of pretending it is all the rage. Never again!
