Guidebook for Greater London
Food Scene
Granger and Co. runs three Australian restaurants in London, and the Notting Hill location is the smallest of the three. The menu’s the same as at the other two venues, and it’s full of the kind of fresh salads, sandwiches, small plates and main dishes that you’d find at a cool cafe in Sydney - think shrimp burgers, ricotta hotcakes, and plenty of stuff with avocado. The small size and quality food means getting a table might be the hardest thing you’ve done since you tried to walk down Oxford Street on December 23rd, so be sure to book if you’re going at peak times.

Farm Girl goes all in on the Australian healthy-eating thing, right down to the coconut ‘bacon’, macadamia butter, and optional sprinklings of superfoods. If you want to roll your eyes, by all means, go for it. But you should also know that the whole health thing here actually comes with some very good food attached. Sandwiches and salads are great, and so are the drinks. ‘Liquid Gold’ - lime juice, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, astragalus, and honey - would be worth drinking even if it weren’t allegedly good for you. The location guarantees a mob scene on Saturdays, but you’re just as likely to queue on Monday.

Andina Notting Hill was built for catching up with mates. Or, to serve excellent Peruvian food and pisco sours that all but guarantee a weekday hangover. But, really, it’s a mixture of both. Whether you’re after several sharing plates, hefty mains (hello beef short rib, we love you), or just some moderately spicy grub that’s an excellent excuse for drinking more pisco punch than it’s responsible to, Andina has you got you covered. They’re also open for lunch everyday, and offer up a mean brunch at the weekend. Whenever you go just be sure to leave enough room for the chocolate tart.
