You guys. Come on. Is Granger good? Yes. Is it wait in line around the block good? Don't be ridiculous. It's still just eggs and pancakes. The atmosphere is nice if you go exactly when they open (it's chill for about 45 minutes); otherwise, it is unpleasantly crowded and there's a huge line. The food is good-ish but it is emphatically not mind-blowing. This is no knock on the restaurant, they are just doing their thing. Sure, put some avocados on stuff. Great. Somehow this place has taken hold in every Londoners imagination as the only place to have brunch and it is not even the best brunch within a two block radius (Though it may have the best looking space). read more

We walked to Granger and Co for our first meal after landing in London! It was packed on a Friday afternoon at 2pm. Our visit was significantly marred by the fact that we waited an hour before our group of 4 could get a table. I ordered a halloumi and toast appetizer for us to share which was delicious. I got the Tuna Poke that was delicious but portions were small. One in our group got their burger which was very tender. The ingredients were all really fresh and flavorful. The food was good, however they're so busy and bordering on being short staffed at peak hours. The overall experience did not live up to the hype. read more

Posh crowd. I once saw an orange Ferrari parked directly in front of the restaurant. Plan to arrive before 9:30 if you only want to queue for 5-10 minutes. They dont take reservations but they will seat you if you arrive before the rest of your party. I had to try the ricotta banana hotcakes with honeycomb butter because almost every review boasts about how amazing they are. You get 3 large puffy hotcakes stacked over half a slice of banana. my initial reaction after my first bite was that it tasted and had the texture of raw pancake batter. But as I continued to nosh I began to understand what makes this dish so popular. The texture is due to the ricotta cheese and whipped egg souffle-like batter. The hotcakes are extremely fluffy and moist. They almost float. What surprised me was that it wasn't as sweet as I imagined it to be (which is good!). The dish is accompanied by a very light maple syrup which doesn't overwhelm and allows you to appreciate the creamy ricotta cheese hotcake. This is the most interesting item to order from their breakfast menu. My husband ordered the chili fried egg bacon sandwich on brioche. I could not taste the chili but the brioche bun was very fresh. Definitely a nice place to go for any meal if you want to be in a buzzing dining room filled with posh patrons. Note: there has always been at least one baby screeching each time I've been here. This restaurant is exactly what one would expect it to be like. read more

The hype for Granger & co. is through the roof, the ricotta hotcakes this, the eggs that........ The queue of people had obviously been reading the same reviews as me. I don't do queuing but I really wanted to try this place, so we queued. From the very beginning, there was something very off about the guy that served us, he took our order but had to ask us to repeat because, not once did he look at us, his eyes went to the door, the kitchen, the bar, passing folk but never us. I said to my friend, "I bet he gets the order wrong". I love being right. When the order came, my dish was wrong, another waiter bought the food to us-which took ages btw and he was very sweet and polite. The original waiter came back and very aggressively almost accused me of ordering the wrongly delivered dish. No apology for his mistake. When the food did arrive, it was admittedly delicious, even with the bitter taste left by the waiter. I had halloumi with egg, hummus, bacon and I love people which uses parsley in a bold fashion. The miso mushrooms were bland though. I also had a hot chocolate which took a good 15 minutes to arrive and was chocolate sauce on the inside of a teeny glass and then filled with hot milk. Not a hot chocolate, nor cool, nor fulfilling the desired promise. Sigh. We ordered the ricotta hotcakes as per hype. But it was terrible, lumpy, bland, boring, weird, yuck. Bill time came and, you guessed it, Mr Charm left the wrong item on the bill....I questioned this and he bought it back over with no apology and the item removed without subbing in the correct item. Now folks, I would usually say something but as this guy was such an ass, I didn't bother. He turned his back on us as we left so justified decision. Overall, its expensive, not worth the hype although it's ego and hipsters will keep it afloat but in any case, my time was ruined. ZERO stars. Never again. read more

I am a little confused about what the fuss is all about. The space is beautiful and on a sunny day is very inviting. We ended up sitting at the bar so you don't get to enjoy the space as much and I think the service at the bar is pretty crap. I ordered the ricotta cakes because I heard they were all the rage. I thought they were boring and not all that exciting to eat. We also ordered a chopped salad and while it was executed well it was nothing special and was just well cut well blanched veggies with nothing of flare. I think there are better brunch places in town..... read more

Granger & Co has been on my must-try-brunch-spots list for a while, and it did not disappoint! I went with two friends on a Sunday for brunch, and as expected, we needed to queue. However, the queue wasn't terrible and moved pretty quickly (approx 30 min). I started off with a flat white which was delightful. I also had a bloody mary which fell slightly short of expectations, but it was still decent. In terms of food, I had the sweetcorn fritters on the waiter's recommendation, and couldn't have been happier. One of my friends ordered the ricotta pancakes which were also excellent. In general, loved the relaxed, charming vibe of this spot. The restaurant feels very open with lots of light. The wait staff was also very friendly and attentive. Next up, need to try the scrambled eggs! Perhaps at the Clerkenwell location.... read more

Amazing. Bill Granger, you've done it again. I was searching for the best pancakes and Granger & Co certainly delivered. And the coffee - yes! Coffee snob satisfied. It's a bit pricey but worth it! read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon so I didn't have to deal with the queue or the crowds. The space is lively and inviting, but it was quite packed even on a weekday, so we were seated rather close to our neighbours. Service was ok, we got our seat, menu and bill at a reasonable pace, so it was definitely not as terrible as other yelpers make it out to be. We got the open steak sandwich and the ricotta hotcakes, and both were great. The ingredients were fresh, and I was pleasantly surprised by the portion. Loved the honeycomb butter and the generous amount of ricotta cheese in the hotcakes. Would definitely come back to try their our dishes. read more

A great atmosphere and convenient location, but a bit hit and miss. The service is generally good, but had a few incidents where the they seemed more engrossed in their own conversations amongst themselves than serving customers. The food is always lovely - I love the selection of starters, and often orders a mixture and eat to share like tapas. read more

Sadly having now already visited Granger and mentioned our not so great experience to friends, they've informed me that they could have told me that...wish they had, to have saved my time! We ventured here last weekend, after having it bookmarked for ages, around brunch time on Saturday. We were seated quickly, but at a not so great cramped table, when there were plenty of better options, but rather than being difficult, we took it...took awhile to get menus, but when we did we ordered quickly - a bloody for me (extra spicy), a salad with variations for my boyfriend. The bloody arrived as clearly just tomato juice (plus hopefully vodka), but nothing else...so my boyfriend went up to the bar to ask for worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, pepper, hot sauce.....which once added, made a much better bloody. My boyfriend wasn't too wild about his salad at first, but said it grew on him. Unfortunately, things got worse from there. After sitting for ages saying we were ready to close out, the bill still hadn't arrived....so we asked our server again...she again said ok, then i see her clearing a table behind us (the place was pretty empty at that point, so no need to rush to clear and set tables)....so after another 5 or so minutes, we ask her again for the bill....she says ok...then i see her clearing ANOTHER table, setting ANOTHER table...and still no bill. This process continued, and we ultimately asked her four times, and about 15 minutes (or more) to get our bill...for a salad and a bloody. At that point, we were in a rush to get elsewhere, which ultimately got us there over an hour later than we'd planned. Plus, when she FINALLY brought the bill she's all trying to shoot the shit with us ("anything fun planned for tonight?"...um, now we'll be hauling ass to get somewhere in time). I get that service in London isn't spectacular, but when its "optional" 12.5% gratuity on top of the regular included gratuity, I'd really hope it doesnt take four requests and multiple table bussings and resettings in between to get your simple bill. Sadly, friends from Australia living in london told me it was very disappointing (the ones who could have saved me my time had I learned this prior to my visit), and that they had rushed there, upon hearing about the "aussie chef," and left equally, if not more, disappointed. read more

After 40 minutes queuing (mind you, it was saturday lunch time) with a lot of french people (?) we were finally seated. It's a good looking room (pleasant decor, nothing fancy) filled with young good looking people there to be seen in a hip place and enjoy the ambience + soundtrack of moneyed youth's chit chat. It's said to be a favourite amongst Notting Hill yummy mummies, but luckily for us there was not a single crying baby to be heard. We decided to check out the hype and ordered the famous ricotta hotcakes with bananas. They are indeed very fluffy and light, if a bit bland if you prefer stronger flavours; I enjoyed mine. The honeycomb butter is simply delicious and I wish there were more of it. The syrup was quite nice too, not overly sweet but adding some welcome extra sweetness to the cakes. They'll give you three huge cakes and they're quite filling; I am happy I skipped the side dishes as I would be able to finish. I really wanted to sample the beautiful looking cakes, but simply coudn't eat another thing. What I regreted was the hot chocolate: basically they rub a bit of melted choc inside a glass and fill it with hot milk; not a bad idea and it does look nice, but it tastes of warm water with a touch of bitterness. Awful. In fact I would have ordered a latte, but I couldn't find it on the menu... Even though later I did see lattes/cappuccinos on tables, I guess you have to ask? Odd. All in all is a pleasant place with alright food and beautiful clientele to look at. I wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone, and maybe in a few months when the hype dies down a little and I don't have to queue I'll return for that cake I couldn't manage. read more

This restaurants is one of those hipstery places full of yuppies having brunch. So it's quite nice because let's face it, yuppies are not dumb, they like nice places. White tables, white floor, white windows and white bar create a great room, although tables are cramped and it was jam packed. The food itself was OK, good quality but nothing special except for the dessert, a pear crumble with hot custard wich was simply amazing. The rest was very fresh but the apettizer and main I ordered had the same sauce and I had trouble finding where the Australian cuisine was (but what is Australian cuisine anyways?). Service could be greatly improved and most of them seemed indifferent towards anybody in the restaurant. Maybe they get a bonus for not smiling, who knows. The host was very nice and tried to accomodate everybody in the queue, however at some point there were 5 tables empty inside and a bunch of people queueing oustide. Overall, this place makes for a good experience and the food is worth giving a try. Maybe next time I'll just come for tea and cakes. read more

Came here for brunch because I happened to be around the area!! The staff was so friendly and the food was SO good! Upon arrival, the restaurant looked packed but I was seated quickly! If you're visiting Notting Hill & and want to sit back and relax, come here! It's was all good vibes!!! The menu has many different options, which are all in a good price range! I got the hotcakes & they were AMAZING! My friend got the fried rice (on the lunch menu) & he was just as content! Thanks again, sending love from New York read more

Apparently the owner of this place is an Australian celebrity chef a bit like Gordon Ramsay but without the shouting and swearing. I suppose it shows in his London branch which is a well executed example of how to run a restaurant. It's very popular with the affluent locals even on a Sunday night and offers an interesting menu which changes regularly, with a good wine list to boot. The food is well prepared and the service efficient if a little 'removed' from the diners. The atmosphere and decor is neutral, light and airy, and the only real downside is that you'll often have to queue for a table, which is rare for places this side of the BT Tower. I'm already thinking about my next visit and without having read the previous reviews I'm not quite sure why the average star rating isn't higher. I suppose my review will help boost it at least :) read more

The famous ricotta pancake! The crepe was cooked to the perfect fluffiness with chunks of ricotta instead, syrup and butter created a great balance. The banana was quite standard. A great sharing plate if you want to try other things at the restaurant. There is always a line up to get in, but it seems to move quickly. The Americano was too strong for me. Overall, fab brunch! read more

The setting is nice. Light, energetic with sunny yellow awnings. Employees were pleasant and helpful. But the food is just okay. Not exceptional. We had the famous pancakes as well as eggs and toast with coffee. All fine. Would I go there again? Maybe. read more

This was quite a busy breakfast spot! Great coffee and the breakfast was full of flavour at a good price! Their scrambled eggs are quite unique! This is a very open and inviting atmosphere. Will be back! read more

One of my top brunch places! Yes there is a line on weekends around brunch time but what can you expect it is well known and it is in Notting Hill. The line is worth the wait and it actually goes by pretty fast. The menu has many options and interesting combinations such as corn fritters, ricotta hotcakes, quinoa falafel salad, and different egg dishes. I got the scrambled eggs with bread (you can choose the type of break if you ask) with sides of sliced avocado and tomato. Let me tell you right now the eggs are a-ma-zing. So creamy and filling. They must put a ton of cream in there. Also had the green juice, small size for the price, nothing fantastic but good and refreshing. Lots of families, couples, groups of friends - a little loud to my taste but it is the weekend I guess. In a nutshell: best scrambled eggs award read more

A phrase popped into my head as I was crunching away on their homemade cereal--cereal that was so hard to chew, that by the time I gave up trying, my upper jaw was experience exhaustion tremors. That phrase is: mediocrity abounds. And not just at this place, but at most breakfast places on Westbourne Grove. Or maybe it's just something about this space. Pix before it was no good either. The space itself is calm and airy with its buttery walls and architecturally interesting wood and wicker chairs. The bar is where it was when this place was still Pix, but it now has a neutral wood finish--very Scandinavian-looking. We were sat in a corner and then forgotten about for about 20 minutes. Well, that's not completely true; fresh-squeezed orange juice and my flat white came before then, but then there was waiting. We were busy discussing life plans, so I can't say for sure how much times passed, but I did notice after awhile that the three tables around us had been filled with occupants, who showed up after us and had their orders taken before us. After managing to flag down our waiter, who took our order--for me: the homemade cereal with yoghurt and honey, for the hubs: the gravlax with 'curd' on rye--there was more waiting. It was a solid half-hour of pure waiting. At that point, I was praying to all things holy that the food would be worth the wait. It wasn't. Damn! As I mentioned earlier, the cereal was so far beyond crunchy, I thought I might break a molar. And then they brought some milk for the cereal, and it didn't get any less crunchy. How the hell is that scientifically possible? A sad dollop of yoghurt with honey was served alongside. The gravlax was the least smoked fish I've ever encountered. And the curd, oh lord, the curd... where did it come from and what beast could have possibly produced such tasteless milk? Seriously, it didn't taste like anything. I'm a big believer in the power of salt, and even salt could not revive this curd. Between the service and the food, I can't say I'll ever go back. I imagine it will stay open only because of its weekend breakfast option and the crowd that frequents this part of town. For some people it's more about the socialising than the food. Unfortunately, I prefer good food, and there are other places in Notting Hill that do it better. read more

I went to G&Co thanks to a friend. I went there as an Aussie Pub. What I found was a laid back, great place with great food. One of the wait staff had serious attitude but rest was just perfect. I had a shrimp burger and it was delicious. It had a nice tangy sauce on it and I couldn't eat slow! My friend had a miso salmon. I usually don't like salmon but this one was seriously succulent. As appetizer we just had burrata. They gave it with very thin toasted bread and some tomato on top. I never had such a delightful piece of bread. Most of the wait staff was courteous and nice in general. But one was not really nice. He bumped into my friends chair and instead of apologizing he was looking for an apology. If not for him, it'd have been 5 stars easily. read more

Not great, was expecting outstanding food but it was just a little expensive and annoying. We we're say near the door which was cold and busy. If you get there at 9am then fine, otherwise spend 40 minutes queuing at 10am and wonder why. Not living up to the hype. read more

Granger & Co - The Sunday queue ! 2pm - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

Dying to go here but page says it's not good for kids?!? A 7year old I travel with would be delighted to try most of the food on this menu.. At least set an age, just don't say no to kids for breakfast!! This is uncool! I'd probably never be able to eat here because I need my sidekick allowed to come in too read more

Fresh, clean ingredients. Simple cooking. The menu is split into hot and cold starters.. I noticed a lot of burrata- yum. Then there are a couple of pasta and rice dishes, mains included fragrant fish curry, lobster with chilli and lime, aubergine parmesan and each day they do a dish of the day. I had a linguine (felt homemade-good texture) with prawns chilli and lime. The pasta was full of flavour, and I liked seeing the very authentic and liberal use of olive oil. Occasional bursts of heat from the chopped chillis. I was left feeling very satisfied. The atmosphere is clean, light and airy, the room is open plan. The menu is not overly expensive and the portions are spot on! You can't reserve here but we had no problem getting in! read more

Known for a being a great breakfast/bunch posh spot, we decided to try it for dinner. Of course it was busy, service wasn't exactly friendly despite previous reviews, but the decor and space is clean and modern - a nice place to hang out. On first look at the menu it didn't seem all that exciting. Yes it's an eclectic mix of Asian, middle eastern and European flavours as the magpie food of modern Australia is, but in all honesty it looked like a random collection of foods with no overarching story. I was pleasantly surprised by my first small plate of miso aubergine, it was small, but brilliantly balanced creating strong umami topped off with little crispy cubes of silken tofu delicately fried to perfection. The creamy burrata was great, but in all honesty when is burrata not good and if you can't place a piece of burrata on a plate with some tomatoes then shame on you. Deep fried squid was a tiny plate again but the tempura was excellent, light and crispy though the sweet chilli dipping sauce was a bit generic. Korean barbeque chicken was dry and overcooked, both the meat and skin suffered, I would have preferred eating some hot wings from KFC and the gochujang based sauce was poorly balanced. Parmesan crusted chicken schnitzel was so-so, a nice fennel salad went with this, but the coating just went soft and soggy in less than a minute, the chicken meat itself was pretty average. This seems like a plate that hasn't been mastered yet, but is placed on the menu to satisfy the hordes of chicken lovers and for those who want something more European. So, I can see why it's a popular place, a really nice space, with modern food and there were some good plates, but also some really average plates. And at £90 for two people you can eat much better food. Style over substance is a bit harsh, but there is a certain group of people who will love this place and another who will wonder what all the fuss is about. If you're into the posh west London thing, this is the price you pay. Perhaps a few little tweaks to the foox will make it deserving of it's price tag, but clearly Granger and Co is popular and it's not just about the food. I mean who serves labneh without bread??? How do you eat it? But I guess there is probably a high number of people with gluten allergies in this part of London. read more

Absolutely love this place! It's packed if you go on the weekends or too late in the morning, but that's no fault of the restaurant's - just the consequence of having a good reputation and being in Notting Hill. My best advice would be to go a bit earlier or during the week to beat the queues. I've gone at 9:30 on a Saturday morning with a group of four and been seated straight away. The restaurant is bright & inviting and feels more like a sunny cafe or bistro than a fancy restaurant - although the food reminds you that it is. Everything I've tried here has been fantastic. I usually try to go with a bunch of friends or with my family when they visit just so we can all order different things and sample more! The ricotta hotcakes are as good as everyone says, but I like a bit of savory with my breakfast so I usually go for the sweetcorn fritters or the full Aussie. Either way, you can't go wrong! read more

This place does not take reservations, you should come and wait in a queue. It took us about half an hour to get seated.

Granger & Co - Amazing breakfast so delicious - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

We came here on a Wednesday at noon and there still seemed to be a queue. We waited for about 20 minutes before we were seated to a pleasant and airy place. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud. We looked at the lunch menu (which served Brunch items) and everything looked delicious! The definite winner on the menu were the Ricotta Hot Cakes! They were perfectly sweet, topped with maple syrup and served with Bananas, but not too overwhelming. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and satisfying, and had quite an interesting texture (I think they're made with milk). Definitely a must for brunch. Their Greek yoghurt and fruit bowl was excellent and light. Overall, the food was delicious and not overbearing or heavy. A great place for brunch for sure! read more

Well, here we are vacationing in London from the States, staying in Notting Hill, and we put off making a reservation for dinner on a Friday. Thought we were destined to eat fast food but took a walk to Granger & Co. what a surprise! At 7:00 we were seated immediately. Husband had a gin & tonic; I had a margarita. Very nice intro to what turned out to be an excellent meal. Hubby had salmon with the avocado smashed cucumber salad; I had the yellow fish curry with green bean side dish. Both were very well prepared & tasty. We shared a dark chocolate sorbet dessert. An all around relaxing & tasty experience. The waitress was cordial, and we were impressed by the fact families were here, as well as couples of every age. read more

Go to Granger & Co if you want to treat someone to a classy, hip, better than average traditional breakfast. There's queueing, so you better arrive early. The Full Aussie Breakfast is not different from the English classic but done well. Funny story: When our order was taken and the waitress repeated what we had said, she read "So 3 Full English Breakfasts..." and her colleague walked past and hissed into her ear "Aussie! Full Aussie Breakfast!". It was hard not to burst out laughing. I guess this says something about the originality of the place? Anyways, it's a really cool space and the nicest breakfast spot I know in Notting Hill. read more

HOW DOES THIS PLACE ONLY HAVE 3.5 STARS??? Seriously, how? I know there can be a wait sometimes, but get over it. My girlfriend and I have been a handful of times for breakfast and once for dinner now, and have nothing but praise. Everyone who works there is super friendly and attentive. The espresso drinks are fantastic, as well as the wine, and the pale ale I got was about as crisp and lovely as they come. Then there's the food! You really can't go wrong. The olives and the fish curry were two standouts, but honestly everything was great. I'd be there every day if I lived nearby! read more

Wonderful scrambled eggs, ricotta pancakes. Obviously. Local favorite place - very busy!

Lovely place. I know Bill Granger's restaurants from Sydney, and G&Co brings that fresh feel, delicious food plus casual, friendly yet efficient service to London. I had the duck which was the modern fusion (Chinese and French) that I love. The salted caramel and chocolate pot is yum! read more

I had the sweet corn fritters, which were ok. They were quite dry and fell apart quite easily when cut through. Also I'm not sure if it's just here or a bit of a trend happening in the U.K but the coffee was luke warm at best so it was all over in a mouthful or two. I'd go here again to try something else on the menu as I've heard this place is amazing and I can defiantly see the potential. read more

Slightly surprised by the bad reviews for this place. We went for brunch and had a great time. Service was friendly and attentive, food was tasty, bloody Mary's were strong and peppery. Little bit on the pricey side for what we had but not crazy. The only thing that bought the place down was the guys next to us droning on about something boring, that probably means I should stop being nosey. From walking past a lot it is constantly busy so don't expect to roll up and get a table. read more

I've eaten twice here while I was in London & I think this restaurant is my favorite. The ambiance of this place is so cute! During my two visits with some friends, we were able to try: Fresh Aussie: The tea smoked salmon was delish, and the poached eggs were perfect with the avocado! Loved this dish! Full Aussie: Scrambled eggs were heaven! Coconut bread: Really yummy, the coconut flavor wasn't too overpowering. This would probably be perfect with some tea :) Chia Seed Pot: It reminded me of a coconut tapioca pudding. Its really good and something light. It could even be a dessert after breakfast in my opinion. Latte: I think that it's interesting that they serve their lattes in a glass cup instead of a regular coffee cup. but nonetheless, it was still good. If I could eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I would. lol. Granger & Co. is always a good idea. :) read more
