E&O Bar and Restaurant (Notting Hill - London)

E&O Bar and Restaurant

Admired by some as the nicest thai fusion restaurant in these parts if not in London but I have to disagree most plainly. The bar itself sits as the bib to the small ground level restaurant behind it, taking the mess of customers and popping a drink in front of them while they await a table. The drinks are expensive but to be fair the restaurant could charge the earth for them and doesn't. A beer will set you back a fiver and a cocktail as much as fifteen pounds. The wine, although reasonably priced flash fancy words around where its actual wine cellar is someone depleated in the vintage department. There are very few tables at the bar and looking out onto the street while you drink is relaxing but not expected.

Overall the food here is fantastic and the service is very polite but the bar is just not the place to drink in even for a business meeting, it feels like a diner crossed with a waiting room and the itchy feet of everyone waiting at the bar for a table in the restaurant is all to clear. Defintiely hit a pub down the road for drinks after the meal. Overall 4/10
