5 Of The Best Mediterranean Restaurants In Notting Hill You Must Visit!
Fez Mangal
Starting off our list is Fez Mangal – our favourite Turkish restaurant in Notting Hill. The interior is beautiful and stylish, the food they prepare is super tasty and will transport you to Turkey – and the service is excellent. We highly recommend you visit this place whenever you are craving delicious Turkish food!
On their menu you will see traditional starters, kebabs served with rice, a salad, and bread, incredible Yogurt Kebabs, Pide (Turkish pizza), salads, and delicious desserts!
We highly recommend you start off with their Dolma (stuffed vine leaves with rice, onion, pepper, pine nuts,
currants, herbs) and a Tabule salad (couscous, parsley, tomato, peppers, spring onions, pomegranate dressing). Then definitely either get an Adana Kebab (minced lamb kebab) or a Yogurtlu Chicken Beyti which comes served with yogurt, a fresh tomato sauce bread, melted butter.
We also recommend their Turkish pizzas especially the Tavuklu Pide (chicken marinated in pepper paste, tomatoes, green peppers, onion).
And, of course, leave room for dessert – the Baklava is incredible (a traditional filo pastry with pistachios and honey syrup).

Mediterraneo
Who doesn’t like Italian food, right? Well, Mediterraneo always makes sure to serve the most delicious Italian dishes prepared with a lot of dedication and fresh ingredients! They first opened doors in 1998 and have never disappointed their customers ever since!
Our team loves their starters – especially the Parmigiana di Melanzane (Aubergine with tomato, mozzarella, basil), the Deep-Fried Squid, and the traditional Bruschetta with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil!
Then we usually get pasta, however, they also have traditional meat and fish dishes that are also super tasty. We recommend their Tagliatelle with Veal Ragout and Tomato Sauce, the Spaghetti with Clams Garlic and Olive Oil, or the Fettuccine with Black Truffle! Also, keep in mind that all pasta is hand-made which is why it’s so delicious!
And finally, it’s time for dessert! They have an incredible selection of traditional desserts that you have to try!
