Gail’s Bakery Notting Hill

I loved it. Good food, good drinks, nice place to take a break from the crowds on Portobello Road. Prices are reasonable all things considered. They have a fairly complete lighteni and sandwiches which are far superior to what can be found at coffee shops - although their coffee is also superb. Friendly staff and great service - highly recommended.

If Gail’s is a London institution, then Gail’s on portobello road is its grand temple. It’s the pit stop for ecstatic shoppers who just struck a bargain at the fur shop, the tourists taking a break from the photo shoots, and the locals craving a little sit down reverie with an appetizing morsel. Gail’s on portobello road is always buzzing with life and action. Good luck finding a place to sit on a Saturday early afternoon, at the paroxysm of market hours. The food is always the same, and always good. My all time favorites: - The borequitas: these little puff pastries filled with feta cheese and olive and so delicious that they sell out in the early hours. They’re oily, crunchy, and very satisfying, despite their small size - The mozzarella and pesto focaccia: this is a sandwich that will make you say grace to its great Italian inventors at every bite - The honey cake: a little delicatessen, this small piece is less heavy than the rest of the sugary spread, but definitely hits the spot
