What can I say about Bottega Friulana. From the cosy interior, the delicious cakes and strong coffee, the music, to the late closing times (10 and 11pm) this place ticks off all my boxes.

Located in the heart of Portobello road, right on the more fashionable and coveted bit, this Italian cafe/bistro offers a relaxing environment for lunch, coffee catch ups, ‘mobile office’ work not to mention an amazing wine selection. When all other coffee shops in Notting Hill wrap up their seats and cake counters at 5pm on the dot on Sundays, BF keeps going.

Love it during the week without the crowds.
