Kensington & Notting Hill Restaurants

Gate Restaurant

Book Online

The Gate, named after its Notting Hill Gate location, is both a bar and a restaurant; it is the area's underground chameleon for the local socialites. A quiet romantic little restaurant it isn't, but go there if you like the idea of some great cocktails at the extensive bar, before dining to the accompaniment of a different DJ every night.
