"Plastic foliage, twinkling fairy lights, and the aroma of chargrilled meats—Tsiakkos & Charcoal is a Greek taverna with one of Notting Hill’s most hangover-inducing atmospheres. The covered courtyard has an anarchic buzz that feeds off friends and families living in the present. Tomorrow is, well, tomorrow’s problem and nothing is safe from cheers-ing here. Get the House Specialty Meze which is code for The Lot—as far as feasts go, this is one of the best-value in London." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
