Notting Hill has loads of restaurants to recommend if you are looking for solid locals, Osteria basilico (kensington park road) is a great little Italian restaurant, The Electric (soho house group) is on kensington Park road and is great for brunch and the electric cinema is brilliant as well -comfy leather armchairs and a bar. The Ledbury is wonderful - set menu is only £35 for 3 courses and well worth it. Lucky 7's for burgers, The Cow for oysters and guiness 9both on westbourne park road) Hereford Road is a brilliant bistro -esque restaurant with a former chef from st john behind it and a daily changing menu. Cafe Anglais in Bayswater. The lonsdale and montgomery place for cocktails.
