3. Best Mangal
Turkish restaurant in Olympia
66 North End Rd - W14
A handy “cheap ’n’ cheerful” option – these traditional Turkish venues, near West Kensington tube and on Fulham Broadway are a favourite stop-off for a freshly BBQ’d kebab. (The West Ken branch is not to be confused with ‘Best Mangal 1996’ – a similar venture at 66 North End Road).
4. Best Mangal
Turkish restaurant in Olympia

5. Cumberland Arms
Mediterranean restaurant in Olympia
29 North End Rd - W14
2021 Review: “Just around the corner from Olympia”, it’s worth knowing about this well-rated pub, in the not-particularly-auspicious northerly reaches of the North End Road. In the same stable as Earl’s Court’s excellent Atlas, it delivers “a very enjoyable meal, with a good quality menu and a lovely atmosphere”.
6. Hare & Tortoise
Pan-Asian restaurant in Olympia
373 Kensington High St - W14
“Where else can you get ramen and laksa in the same place?”, ask fans of this “efficient and friendly” pan-Asian chain founded almost 30 years ago in Bloomsbury’s Brunswick Centre and now with branches in Ealing, Putney, Kensington and Chiswick plus two delivery-only kitchens.
7. The Colton Arms
British, Modern restaurant in West Kensington
187 Greyhound Road - W14
2021 Review: Backing onto the rear of Queen’s Club in Baron’s Court (and with a cute small garden for sunny days) – “a good, standby local pub” given a very stylish revamp a couple of years ago, and serving “a decent array of dishes”. “The ambience varies a bit depending on where you are sat in the dining room”.
8. 222 Veggie Vegan
Vegan restaurant in
222 North End Road - W14
Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, chef Ben Asamani’s “very good vegan” on Fulham’s trafficky North End Road (near its crossroads with the Lillie Road) provides “a lovely dining experience” – “you certainly don’t miss eating fish or meat”. Top Menu Tip – the “veggie burgers” – made with asparagus and petits pois on gluten-free bread – “are the best!”.
9. Maria G's
Italian restaurant in Kensington
Coe House, 1-4 Warwick Lane - W14
An “attractive riverside setting” (incorporating a 45-cover outdoor terrace, complete with retractable roof) is a major selling point at star chef Robin Gill’s second opening under the ‘Maria G’ banner, on the ground floor of a shiny new residential development, in the deepest, darkest Fulham no-man’s-land near Imperial Wharf (by the big Sainsburys). Despite its out-of-the-way situation, it’s already attracting more feedback than the first Maria G, which opened two years ago. That’s also hard to find, and also in a glossy new block – this time part of a retirement village on the Kensington/Olympia borders. At both outlets, the culinary theme is Italian although SW6 concentrates more on its raw bar and pasta, with reports praising “some innovative dishes” (The Telegraph’s William Sitwell was also a fan, proclaiming it a “chic oasis” with “delicate and authentic Italian food”). Reports in our annual diners’ poll on W8 were scant (but the Daily Mail’s Tom Parker Bowles found it a “lush, lovely Italian oasis… [in] the sterile, anodyne surroundings of those deluxe flats”).
