Manor

Set on All Saints Road in the Notting Hill area replacing Mas Café is Manor, a contemporary restaurant attracting a suitably contemporary crowd. The stark brown exterior of the place gives way to a modern interior with soft neutrals that instantly make you feel at home. Manor's other advantage over rival restaurants is that it has a great bar area that is worth visiting in its own right. It also enjoys late opening hours so you can dine at your leisure without fear of being hurried out. The eclectic modern European menu is proving highly popular thanks to the work of talented chef Adam van Schravendyk so booking is advisable, particularly for weekend dining when you'll be lucky to get a place at the bar let alone at a table without a reservation.
