A friend and I were visiting London for a quick trip, and in our search for the best brunch spot in town, we found Granger & Co. It absolutely lived up to the hype. On a Thursday morning, we found the place quite packed, but opted to sit outside where we were waited on very well despite the rush indoors. Our drinks--fresh OJ and a chai latte--arrived quickly followed by our main dishes. We got the corn fritters, which were packed with flavor and fresh ingredients, the whole corn kernels bursting in our mouths. But the real show stopper was the hotcakes. Thick, pillowy, and not too sweet, the hotcakes are absolutely divine. I am still thinking about those hotcakes 2 months after our trip and mourn that I can't return any time I want. For all those locals who can, please go and savor Granger & Co for me, your out-of-towner Yelp friend.
Being a certified foodie from LA, I'm not the easiest person to please when it comes to brunch. Next to Australians, we're kind of ahead of the game when it comes to the food best served between breakfast and lunch; only, we love eating it at all hours of the day. Every day. This, of course, includes the booze and coffee. It also includes the dreaded queue winding up the road, away from the door. Yes, everyone who eats here has to wait; unless they're incredibly dedicated, and are here when they open. Even then, waiting might occur. The wait times could be anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of your party. But, let me just say: Do it! Wait in that queue as long as it takes to feast on all this delicious goodness! As you'll be able to see from the menu displayed outside, tempting you with the promise of what is to come, the food here ranges from the tried-and-true, to the exotic. My friend raved about the Ricotta Hotcakes being among the best she'd ever tasted, and brought me here just for that reason; and honestly... I'm glad she did. More on that later. For most people- myself included- it wouldn't be brunch without booze; namely, cocktails. The drinks menu here is plentiful, and while I'd like to say that I was tempted by one of their fresh and healthy juices, I didn't even realize they offered them until I saw my friend drinking one next to me. Sweets lovers, remember these words: Fig and vanilla old fashioned. Yes, it is on the stronger side, but it is one of the most well-balanced cocktails I've ever had for breakfast. Now, on to those hotcakes. I really don't know what magical ingredient they're putting in there to make these bad boys so decadent and fluffy, but if you were eating a sweet cloud, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two. My friend and I shared one portion, but to be honest, I could have polished off two plates, by myself. It's the most popular thing on the menu for a reason. The rest of the meal was also amazing, and I can vouch for the hearty burger and crispy fries, which remind me of In-N-Out fries from California, as well as the Dhaal which is a fragrant and flavorful lentil soup rich in spices and other healthy ingredients. And because I like to give as detailed report about a place as possible, I even tried their coffee. Yes, that was the bomb-dignity, too. Seriously, you can't go wrong with this menu. Amazing as everything was, though, I will never forget those hotcakes. They really are what foodie dreams are made of.
Love love this place! My bestie and I were staying in Notting Hill and we decided to come here for brunch. I thought we would have to wait for a table because this place is popular but luckily, we were seated right away. I ordered the fresh aussie, which has jasmine tea hot smoked salmon, poached eggs, greens, furikake, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. All of the ingredients meshed perfectly well together. I also got some freshly squeezed OJ to go with this meal. I honestly wish my breakfast could be like this every morning lol. Anyway, I highly recommend the fresh aussie if you don't know what to order. Can't wait to be back!
Not surprised to see a Granger & Co in Notting Hill. Bet if this place was open when Julia Roberts & Hugh Grant were filming the Notting Hill movie, their bougie asses would be here because it's trendy and tasty. If you're visiting London, I wouldn't say this is a place you must eat at, but I would suggest this if you are here more than a week, staying nearby and have time, or are local. There seems to be a queue almost every time I come here, so be prepared to wait especially on weekends. Their menu changes by season, but most of the dishes stay the same and they switch up the protein. When I came here a few months ago, here were some notable dishes: +Kimchi & Soft Shelled Crab Fried Rice with Poached Egg: The crab was perfect, but small and the kimchi did not have that acidic kick. It is pretty filling though! +Ricotta hotcakes, banana and honeycomb butter: This was surprisingly really fluffy, and maybe some of the best pancakes I have ever had. As simple as it sounds, these hotcakes were packed with flavor and the texture was airy. +Grilled cheese and kimchi open sandwich: This was pretty, but the kimchi was a side chick in this and it felt like the microgreens on top of it were just for presentation. Overall, this is a great place for a weekend brunch or a leisure filled lunch. I would not go here if you were in a rush and again I would not go out of your way to go here. The ambiance is nice, but really loud at the same time.
I was taking a stroll to Hyde Park on a beautiful fall afternoon in London when I came upon Granger & Co, a very inviting dining space in Notting Hill. We only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table on a weekday afternoon lunch hour. The space is trendy, bright, airy and comfortable. Our server was a very endearing Australian young man who took great care of us in all regards. We all toasted our last day of vacay in London with expertly crafted espresso martinis. There is a very eclectic menu with many different choices; in the end, though, we chose from the "Bill's Classics" section. I got the Sweetcorn Fritters, Roast Tomato, Spinach & Bacon with an avocado upgrade. Everything was fresh and wonderfully delicious, and I simply have never encountered a fritter quite this unique in it's taste. We also had the scrambled eggs and sourdough toast. Sounds simple enough, right? But these eggs were fantastic, they're like whipped, they have a wonderful mouth texture, and the toast was very fresh and hearty. Lastly, we enjoyed the Ricotta Hotcakes, Banana and honeycomb butter. Another unique combination, and a rich, decadent variation on hotcakes that I'd never had before. All in all, a wonderful dining experience, even to include the immaculate restroom facilities. Granger & Co is "highly recommended" for the value, quality and quantity of it's cuisine.
Ok, this was the best brunch i had in my life. We waited on the queue for 30 minutes, absolutely worth every minute. You can check my photos, the scrambled eggs where just perfect and omg the pancakes!!! With banana, caramel, spongy. We decided to have the fungus spaghetti too. I guess everything you eat here is perfect. The service was fast and the place is really nice. I am counting the days when this pandemic is over and I'll be back having brunch here! can't wait. Ok, el mejor brunch que comí en mi vida. Esperamos en la cola por 30 minutos, valió la pena cada minuto de espera. Pueden ver en mis fotos, los huevos revueltos eran simplemente perfectos y dios los pancakes!!! Con banana, caramelo, esponjosos. Decidimos probar los spaghettis con hongos también. Supongo que todo lo que comes aquí es perfecto. El servicio fue muy rápido y el lugar es muy lindo. Cuento los días que faltan para que termine esta pandemia y vuelva a hacer brunch aquí! No puedo esperar.
We came by for a casual breakfast on a Tuesday morning, and the place was still packed! Clearly a local favorite. We lucked in to some seats after only a few minutes. There was so much diversity on the menu, and I had a hard time choosing - but ultimately I ordered the "Aussie" breakfast: poached egg, smoked salmon, avocado, tomatoes, herbs, and toast. It was a beautiful plate of food - especially the perfectly poached egg and the smoked salmon. I loved the variety of flavors, textures, and temperatures. My husband ordered the Ricotta Hotcakes with honey butter + banana, which I snuck a few bites of and really enjoyed. They were legitimately loaded with Ricotta, and the honey butter was a delight.
A nice surprise in Notting Hill. Very comfortable and trendy space with lots of natural lighting. I know I'll be thinking about the grilled cheese and kimchi open sandwich for a long long time. I also got the fresh mint tea which was fairly weak but still good. Be sure to use sugar and not salt, the shakers are dangerously placed haha
I give it a 3 because of the lack of value. Very expensive for what you get and I cant justify the price by the output or experience. Great example, scrambled eggs with toast is £8+. nothing else with it. Ricotta pancakes were phenomenal but xome with nothing. I added an audience breakfast bc I eat like a fat kid and that doubked the price for a total bill of £32+ plus juice Also more on the value proposition, orange juice is £3+ and it's a SMALL! the price can't justify it but I'd recommend going only once. There is no english breakfast equivalent. I was asked by diff members of the staff how my meal was. Superb service. JEANS: OK by far. ORDER: wait staff read more

Had the best brunch experience here! Love the lattes, açaí bowl, creamy scrambled eggs, and pancakes! Gorgeous atmosphere; the 45 minute wait was worth it. Service was friendly, quick, and efficient. Would definitely go back! read more
Great staff, they greeted us pretty quickly and sat us right away even though it looked busy in the restaurant. I ordered the cold brew and my wife ordered a cappuccino. The rye toast with avocado and poached egg topped with cilantro and lime pair up together very well. I recommend coming early as you can. It seems to get busier as the time pass. read more
Day #2 in Notting Hill- Fresh Aussie (Jasmine tea hot smoked salmon, poached eggs, greens, furikake, avocado, and cherry tomatoes), courgette chips with nigella seeds and tahini yoghurt, with matcha and vanilla ice cream and a coke! read more
What is Australian food? Hell if I know, but it doesn't involve shrimp or putting them on the barbie. While staying in Notting Hill, we came across this very hip restaurant. (FYI: I only use the word "hip" pejoratively). Aside from the crowd, the waiting for a table, the little foodie touches, the actual meal was awesome. I had the Parmesan-crumbed Chicken Schnitzel, Creamed Corn and Fennel Slaw. My wife had the Sticky Chili Belly Pork. We shared the best Bananas Foster of all time (as hip bistros do, this little slice of dessert heaven is no longer on the menu). read more

Who knew it was this difficult to find a good place open for breakfast in central London at 6am on a Sunday? The insanity starts with the 2 sisters spending an all nighter catching up on "The Good Wife". 4am trip to primrose hill to see the sunrise and view the Balloon Regatta. (They look like waterspots in the pictures this dreary morning) Walk across to the zoo where only the zebras were outside. Nothing open at 6am in the area for breakfast. Came back to Hyde park. Lots of dogs and birds, even saw the early morning swimmers at the Lido, but nothing open even in Kensington at 7am for breakfast. Finally with an 8am opening time, a few more options popped up on the screen. Grangers has been on my wish list for awhile. We reached at 8:15 and despite its 60+ covers, there was still a queue outside. Since it was just 2 of us, we were seated very quickly as majority of the waiting clientele seemed to be large groups of 4 and more. We had to wait a bit for our order to arrive, but we didn't mind. We avoided the highly recommended coffee so as to be able to sleep on arriving home. But the home made almond milk was great. (Don't tell anyone, but I added a bit of sugar to my milk) The coconut bread was oh so good, almost like a dense tea cake. Toasted with a bit of salted butter & o was in heaven. Yummy bacon & chipolatas & jasmine tea smoked salmon. The mushrooms were brilliant. The harissa we ordered for flavouring, really want needed as every dish had lovely flavours of its own. Packed up some more coconut bread to bring home for tea when we woke up. Definitely have to go back for the ricotta hot cakes & the coffee & try their lunch/dinner menus too. Loved the place! read more
There was a very long line to get a seat. We started out in line near the next block. I was surprised by this and It doesn't help that I'm kinda impatient when it comes to waiting for food. It was well worth the wait though once we finally got to eat. Everything tasted like it was homemade and fresh. I loved seeing the orange juice maker. They threw in whole oranges into the machine and turned a wheel to process out the juice. Definitely check out if your going to Notting Hill or in the area. read more

So, so good. Plan to lineup if you are coming in the morning. I like the lineup. Ask for a take away coffee whilst you wait. They know how to coffee. They are also able to do you a takeaway juice if that's your thing. If you're a solo diner, there is usually a spot at the bar so it will be faster for you to get a place. Good spot to eat on your own... Great people watching. Lots of attractive people eat here... Once you're in, if it's brunch you're in for, then your biggest problem now is committing to something. Everything is great. They have some fresher, healthier options like the fresh aussie, very delicious scrambled eggs and a full Aussie (like a full english but Aussie), ricotta hot cakes or, my favourite, the baked spinach and eggs - get with a side of bacon or av salsa. All the sides are super yummy. If you're there for lunch they have the most amazing salmon and soba noodle dish as well as a raw tuna salad. It's a great place to eat a very nutritious, healthy lunch and still feel completely satisfied. Don't worry, there is also a burger. So much veggie, so much green, so much favour. I don't think you can go wrong. The drinks list is excellent. A slight Australian skew (to be expected) but all in all a complete list of great options. Definitely try a coopers pale if you are feeling like a beer (it's what the South Aussies drink). The juices are also good- I love the green one! Last, but certainly not least, the cakes and muffins are some of the best I have ever seen. It's a very dangerous spot to sit at the bar and stare at those beautiful baked goods. Soooo so tempting. They do take away too. read more

Go for the ricotta hotcakes alone! It is one of my favorite brunch places in Notting Hill. Sure, there is a line sometimes. Try the weekdays for quicker breakfast service. It's an adorable, modern chic restaurant. Staff are super friendly and accomodating. I haven't tried anything besides breakfast, so I can't review. read more

Feeling a little homesick these past few weeks, and I had decided to meet up with an Aussie friend for brunch on Saturday, and having eaten at Granger & Co back home in Aus, I felt this was the best opportunity to try out Granger & Co here in the UK. I arrived around 11am, and there was a short line, which was moving quite quickly. We ended up being seated not long after 11:15am. I had checked out the menu earlier in the week, and had finally decided on what I was going to order. Mind you, I will have to go back a few times to really try everything I want to. I settled on rice porridge with coconut yoghurt and mango, with an americano, and my friend on the full Aussie breakfast, complete with tomato sauce, and tea. The service was attentive, and there seemed to be plenty of wait staff. Our meal came out quite quickly. However the coffee's came out ever so slowly. My porridge was amazing! It was soo delicious. And the Aussie breakfast looked unreal, the eggs were so creamy! I had ordered a second coffee, which was forgotten, until I asked a second time. Which was a bit of a shame. But overall the experience was enjoyable, and felt like I was home. Perfect experience for the homesickness in me. read more

Its true, the pancakes are amazing, I was hesitant about it being "Ricotta" pancakes but they tasted so fluffy. I thought at first the three "petite" pancakes they brought me wouldnt be enough but I couldn't even finish them. Only waited 15 minutes on a Monday at around 11:30 read more

Granger&co is easily one of my favourite places in the Kensington area. Great ambience and a simple yet delicious menu, what more can you ask for? I had the poached eggs on rye sourdough with a side of avocado and was really pleased with my order. Definitely coming back whenever I'm around in the area! read more

My daughter and I had just flown in from the states and were working hard to stay awake. Morning brunch sounded perfect. What a wonderful surprise to find this restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. The ricotta hot cakes were like nibbling on fluffy clouds of goodness and the avocado toast was clean and perfect. We had the added pleasure of sitting at the bar next to a local who frequents that location. She was lovely, lovely and friendly and really brightened our day. read more

I have been here twice. Service can vary significantly depending on the server. However I never had any problem getting seat at the bar quickly. Now the food: it was ricotto hotcakes for me both the times and it did not disappoint. Amazing pancakes. There is a reason they are ranked #1 for breakfast in London. Latte was good too. Had to try this place while in London. They have another one near Kings cross and pancakes there are equally good. read more

Staff are Friendly and welcoming. We had the Scrambled Eggs and they were to dye for. Maple syrup butter that comes with the famous ricotta pancakes was AMAZING, I could eat a tub of it. However pancakes were a bit eggy for me read more

Being French, it is a necessity for me to find a good brunch in a beautiful place everywhere I go. I've been here twice and I must admit it does correspond to my likings! It is an absolutely beautiful place: simple yet luminous and romantic with beautiful flowers, fun 50s chairs and charming quirky lamps. The food is quite good, not the best brunch I ever had (although no one can compete with my father's Sunday homemade brunch) but made with fresh tasty products. It is original and good at the same time. Generally a very nice place, a little brunch gem in Notting Hill. read more

Went there for a Saturday brunch around 12. I was lucky my friends had done the 30' line for me. The service was really nice. We shared the squid appetiser ! It was so good We all took one of bills specials scrambled eggs or poached eggs with some basic brunch sides. I tasted good. However I think it's pricy for what it is (I needed to add two sides to my scrambled eggs: smoked salmon and avocado). While you would expect that one of these could be included in an egg dish. Overall the service was nice it's comfy and the food quality is good! But need one queue for 40minutes in average to get in ?! Not sure ... Also we had the hotcakes for desert that we shared among three and it was enough ! read more
