Nestled in the heart of Notting Hill, Canteen has firmly established itself as a hype-soaked London hotspot since its opening in October 2024. With a walk-ins only policy that often leads to queues down the street, it now holds the status of ‘must-visit’ for anyone in the capital seeking a taste of Italy in a vibrant, community-focused setting.
Helmed by Public House, the talented team behind popular London pubs The Pelican and The Hero, Canteen’s contemporary vibe combines an inviting ambiance with delectable dishes. The menu is a testament to chefs Jessica Filbey and Harry Hills’s River Café heritage and features a rotating celebration of seasonal ingredients and bold flavours, with an emphasis on the produce-driven cooking of Tuscany.
The minimalist yet warm interior – bright hues of brown and yellow with white marble tabletops – sets the stage for a dining experience that is both relaxed and polished. The open kitchen, manned by a predominantly female chef crew, adds a dynamic touch, allowing diners to witness the culinary magic unfold.
Canteen's no-reservations policy means there's often a lively buzz at the door, but the friendly staff manage the flow with ease, ensuring a seamless experience for all guests. Whether you're indulging in the silky girolles with coco beans or finishing with the signature chocolate mousse, each visit promises a delightful culinary journey that’s well worthy of your time.
