You don't have to be a soho house member to dine here. Also to highlight that their kitchen open until later than most restaurants! They have recently changed the menu to Mexican food which is bad news for me because I LOVE their burger. But the new menu is pretty we priced so I'm not too mad about it. read more

For anyone considering eating here, I would recommend you review all your options. I'm quite disappointed in my experience. Food was underwhelming and basic. Things were looking promising when I saw a vegetarian breakfast offered in lieu of the traditional English breakfast. I was drawn to the dish because it offered spinach and hash browns in lieu of all the meat in its partner dish. My friend ordered the regular Full English and her dish came out well before mine. I waited roughly 10-15 minutes longer for something that would appear to take less cook time. The plate came out and I noticed there was no spinach. I was not offered a choice as a substitute nor made aware of the situation. Long story short I ended up ordering the Full English and they forgot my black pudding. Waited additional time for that as well. Then they forgot I asked for the bill. Overall, I would not recommend it, especially if you're on a time schedule and multiple mishaps occurred. No cash accepted and 12.5% service charge automatically added to the final bill with the usual VAT. read more

This isn't a diner as you think of a casual restaurant This is more of a higher end restaurant with diner theme Food portions are on the smaller side but very crafted Nice for a high end yet casual meal Staff wasn't overly friendly but I think this place accomplishes what it is going for as far as craft bar and restaurant read more

Came for the burger. Left disappointed. For so long I've read about the burger being the same as Au Cheval in Chicago (https://www.timeout.com/chicago/blog/we-tried-the-burger-at-electric-diner-londons-au-cheval-spin-off). It's almost double the price. And half the flavor. The patties taste over cooked. The burger lacks in butter. The bun tastes like it came from Tesco. I don't even know if there was cheese. I had ordered the Single w/ egg, and they instead gave bacon. Rather than complaining, I tried it anyway, since the bacon in Au cheval is almost 1/4 inch thick and candied. This was a flaccid bacon. It too tasted like bacon from Tesco/Sainsbury's vs. the thick farm-house bacon I'm familiar w/ at Au Cheval. At 8GBP I was expecting amazing sweet potato fries. I could've easily bought frozen sweet potato fries and had far better. Some pieces were undercooked. Awful experience. Please save your cash, and go elsewhere. And if you're going to call this an Au Cheval spin-off - please level up. read more

We were taking a stroll down Portobello looking for a bite to eat on Christmas Eve. Most of the usual food vendors were closed and then the urge for a full English took us over. Popped into the electric not sure what to expect, but it looked busy and hoped for the best. Within minutes we were sat and our orders were placed, full English and a veggie full English. I'm not a vegetarian, but also not a fan of black pudding or English bacon. My amazing husband asked to swap out his black pudding for an additional rasher of sausage which I gladly gobbled up. Granted I was super hungry after just flying from the states but this food was ridiculously good. The mushrooms and tomatoes were amazing and delicious considering it's December, heck even the spinach was amazing and it's hard to make spinach amazing. The eggs were perfect and tasted local. I'm laughing out loud because I've talked about how good the jam that was for the past three days. The strawberry flavor was overwhelming and amazing. The marmalade was lovely as well. From the service to the drinks to the food and price we will definitely be back! read more

We were staying in Lancaster gate and having not had a good breakfast in over a week traveling around, we really wanted a delicious spot to start our day. Electric Diner did not disappoint! We came in contact with several staff members who seem to all work together to make the experience lovely. The coffee was tasty and came out pretty and quickly. We ended up sharing the eggs Benedict, French toast and hash browns. Although too much food, everything was so delicious we couldn't stop eating. I'd say this was one of the best meals I'd had in Europe over a 10 day period, we'd definitely be back next time we're in London. read more

Visiting the Portobello Market for the first time. Needed something to eat (quick) before we end up buying every food item for sale at the market. The Full English Breakfast hits the spot. One of the best I've had. Fried eggs, blood pudding, sausages, bacon, grilled Portobello mushroom, grilled tomato, and toast! Priced at $13 - for the location and customer base, it is to be expected but the awesome taste was extra treat. The service was fast and friendly. For a Saturday morning with plenty of in out traffic, the staff members did a great job! The atmosphere has a warm and inviting vibe. We were so glad we took the advice of the barista at Amoret to eat here. read more

Traditional English breakfast is the food of choice at this location. The location has a chic diner feel. The blood pudding is rather tasty. I would definitely come back. They get my friends order wrong twice which is quite disappointing. The the first time they didn't have an ingredient that typically come with the vegetarian English breakfast and decided to add extra potatoes. The second mess up they forgot the blood pudding. The whole incident could have been avoided if they would have communicated that they didn't have the ingredient rather than assuming that extra potatoes would have sufficed. But other-all the food was cooked well but attention to detail and communication lacked. read more

Mostly go here for breakfast and they knock it out of the park (in baseball parlance). love their full English breakfast but sometimes I get scrambled eggs with salmon, which are all good. BTW The bread here is terrific and our grandson loves their waffles and granddaughter loves the sausage. Been here so many time I can't count and will keep coming back. We keep saying we're going to try their lunch and dinner here too but try to avoid the crowds later in the day so haven't yet. read more

I was excited to try this diner as I was craving American food and read great reviews. My friend arrived early to get us a table and so by the time I arrived it should have been a ten minute wait. Instead it was 30 minutes plus! We saw others get seated at the window, bar and a big table that was reserved. Finally we got the table and waited another ten minutes to take our order. The waiter saw us but was apparently slammed with other tables. Once we ordered we had to ask twice for tap water. At long last our food arrived and my single cheeseburger was actually a double. I was too hungry to send it back and decided to chow down! Food was decent. Nothing special about my burger with just cheese and pickles. No lettuce or tomato and anything else would have cost extra. Fries were good and plenty. My friend was also hungry to eat her vegetarian breakfast, a hearty meal although a steep price. I don't feel the burger was worth £14 without fries. The shake was good but also not £7 worth. Ridiculous prices for a tourist location with terrible service. There are far better diners and burgers in the city. read more

(delayed review) Went to London for thanksgiving and was so delighted to find the electric diner to celebrate at! The standard thanksgiving menu they had was everything I could have wanted and more. And gave ya the perfect reason to explore the notting hill neighborhood. A very fun atmosphere,connected to an old movie theatre. They allowed us to make a reservation and the staff was friendly and accommodating to us Americans who were celebrating abroad. Their standard menu looked delicious and I'd like to go back if I ever return to London! read more

After 8 months this family of Los Angelinos in London eating experience has not been great. I know we're spoiled in LA and there really isn't much competition. That said , Electric Diner nailed it! The flank steak with fries and béarnaise was absolutely delicious. My daughter loved the chicken and waffles. Lots of dipping sauces too for the fries. I even got myself a good California Pinot noir! Not an easy find in this town! Very friendly staff, great ambience and reasonably priced. read more

I overestimated the time it would take to get from Point A to Point B & arrived a full 25 minutes early for our showtime at Electric Cinema. We spent those extra moments indulging in French onion soup & Fries Au Cheval at Electric Diner's bar. Satisfyingly rich & fatty comestibles. Love the idea of fries accompanied by mornay, an egg, & aioli. 3.75 stars for food. Electric Diner is a happening place! Speak loudly to get your order across & enjoy the chaotic, but organized dance of the cooks behind the bar if you're seated there. This busy energy unfortunately translated into some confusion in their service. There was a lag in all things from ordering to getting the bill. We asked for to-go containers & my fries were placed in a container not suitable for takeout. Meh, would consider returning knowing i'd have to carve out more than a half an hour for a meal here. read more

Delicious food prepared by staff that really cares. If you want to watch them make it you can sit at the counter. It's Notting Hill prices, but not exorbitantly so. Not sure if they take bookings but your best bet is to get here before or after the lunch rush to make sure you're not left waiting. Michelin-listed, I think. read more

First off, let's get one thing out of the way... I LOVE BRUNCH!! Honestly, this had to have been one of the best meals I've had in London, and the fact that it was brunch and I was drinking made it all the more better. A classmate of mine invited me out to brunch and decided to take me here since I've never been to Notting Hill before. Located right next to the Electric Cinema is this place, and renamed it Electric Diner. Apparently, there was a fire and they had to close for a while but are now reopened. Funny story about that to follow... So, we started off with drinks. My friend ordered the Bloody Mary and I ordered the Horse's Back since I don't like Bloody Mary's. When the BM arrived at the table, I was like "DAMNNNNNNNN!" That drink was so beautiful... artfully crafted to perfection, and garnished with a bazillion pickles on top. Of course I tried it, and I thought it was really good. Never liked a BM until this one, true story. My Horse's Back wasn't bad, super strong and had a kick to it, especially being the first thing that entered my stomach for the day. As for the food, I was really impressed with my dish, simply called open-faced ham, cheese fondue, and fried egg. I gobbled it all up because it was so amazing. My friend ordered the ham steak and green eggs which also looked good. Seriously, I'm coming back here for brunch, it's SOOOO GOOD! So, during our meal the fire alarm kept going off. Sort of getting in the way of our lovely meal, but it wasn't really that big of a deal. Eventually, management came over and apologized and politely kicked us out because they had to do an inspection. Oh, but what else? They told us the meal was taken care of. A FREEEEEE MEAL?!!! Hell yeah! Score! Touchdown! Victory danceeeee, babyyyyy. YUP. We were TWO happy brunchers. And yup, we'll be back for more soon. read more

ERMAGAHD. Love this place but really can't tell you why. It's basic, retro, and has a decent menu. Here's what I ordered - 1) TEA was insanely good loose leaf; 2) they had soy, almond, oat, AND coconut milk which gets you an immediate 3 stars in my book even if your food tastes like crap which it didn't; 3) poached eggs which were literally GARNISHED (that's a first for me, clearly); 4) gluten free toast which was surprisingly good except I was wondering what happened to my 4th half since I only got 1 1/2 slices which I was like, "Yo, where's my toast's soulmate?"; and 5) the hash browns which were crispy and amaze balls. Go here for lunch and you'll love it because it's basic AF good food which is the best kind. read more

This place was so cool- one of the best pisco sours I've ever had. Go for the cocktails but stay for the comfy booths and dark sexy vibe, while eating super original food. My friend wanted breakfast at 10:30pm, and on their all day menu they serve avocado toast and poached eggs with chili flakes, but I was able to get a MASSIVE plate of okonomiyaki. We also split some guacamole and taro chips and a large bowl of homemade bread and butter pickle chips. Service was slow but who cares! read more

After a long day of walking and exploring London, we were running out of steam big time and found ourselves in the Notting Hill area. Needed food and drink, and after Yelping the area, we discovered this place was just a block away. Now, we are from the US and of course settling for a dinner of 'American food' instead of trying more international fare was not our first choice, but trust me, this place hit all the right spots. Great decision to come here. We had a few items, all were very good, but the star was their Honey Fried Chicken. 5-6 large chicken wings in a very savory honey-chili sauce dusted with sesame seeds that had just enough heat, and the chicken was equal parts moist and crunchy. So good. And we saw other great looking items coming from the kitchen and wished we had the appetite for more. Service was attentive and congenial. Atmosphere is cool and comfortable, with a long bar and big booths. Enjoy! read more

This is a proper diner! Really cool vibe and the food was ok good quality but lacking a little bit of punch. My friend had the burger and I had the tartare. Im from Belgium so I had my fair share of tartare (or American as we call it), this one of our national dishes so I an a little bit picky. The meat was tasty but it was lacking some punch perhaps becaus there was no onions or shallots which usually take part in the tartare as I know it but I will forgive them as overall it was still good! read more

What a fun place in Notting Hill for the last night of my trip. When we walked in the door they had an old track on the wall playing old school tunes, PSB in particular. Sold. Totally relaxed vibe with friendly service. I tried the pea and mint soup which was warm, savory and delicious. I next had the crab gnocchi which had a chunky tomato sauce that was really yummy and not heavy like gnocchi can often be. For dessert the incredible lemon meringue pie is great for sharing. I also had a bite of a yummy rhubarb cheesecake. Oh wait, a ate a few perfectly crunchy French fries too! read more

Below beloved Electric Cinema is this trendy little restaurant. I've popped by here twice on two different Notting Hill days, and I've enjoyed my cocktails and deviled eggs both times. I know tequila cocktails and hardboiled eggs might not be for everyone, but they're for me. Blessed be, my specific tastes are on trend. Their full meal menu also looks fab, but I haven't strayed. Pull up to the window or sit right out front and watch the people go by. Lovely loos, too. read more

Best Burger I've had in London!!! I added avocado, egg and bacon to it and the taste was unbelievable, fries were great as well

Delicious!! This is not your typical British fare. I had the fried chicken. It was extremely rich and good! It was loaded with honey and ginger. I don't love uber sweet foods, and they did this just right. My friend had a double cheeseburger along with the fries au chavel. It was a large portion of fries with a mild creamy sauce, garlic aioli to dip them in, topped with a fried egg. They were pretty good! We also ordered a side of roasted broccoli (in butter) to be healthy...For drinks, the Root to Mule (Moscow Mule with gin) was awesome! GET THE CHOCOLATE & WHISKEY POT A' LA CREMA for dessert! The vibe is awesome! The service is great and the music was perfect. I highly recommend eating here! Check them out. read more

This place just oozes cool from the walls. Possibly the best restaurant offering on Portobello. Considering the location, it isn't ridiculously expensive and you will be satiated by the time you leave. I still dream about that cheeseburger. Light and fluffy brioche bread with gooey meat party infused with the cheese. Worth the train back to London just for another one. The waitress was nice to us. Took the time for small talk even though the place was packed. Much appreciated. Good ales available. A must. read more

Electric Diner - Theyre pretty serious with that knife. Awesome brioche bread though. - Diners Near Me - London, XGL

Nipped inside for a quick lunch and had zero expectations but was delighted nonetheless. We had no wait for a table but we weren't served for about 5 minutes after that and had to ask a waiter walking by for someone to wait on us. The atmosphere was so quaint and cozy and the waitress was wonderfully kind to our somewhat rowdy toddlers. The soup of the day was excellent and I had some delicious waffles. The burger was also good! It took a while to get our food, though. All in all, service was ok and the food and atmosphere excellent! A nice spot for late night eats or good diner food while frolicking around Notting Hill! read more

I come to the Electric Diner all the time. Enough is enough! Usually is always amazing! However, past two times I got stuck with Mr Personality behind the bar, a gentleman with a shaved head. He is the rudest person I have encountered in the services business. He does not want to be here and hence same here. I was going to have brunch , but no. I watched him make my drink and put in half the alcohol as the bottle was empty and too lazy to open another one. He fights with your customers. Fought with my last time as I said he gave me the wrong check as mine was £30 more. If I see him behind the bar, off to Ukai I go. These are tough times in hospitality and you don't need the Mr Personalities. read more

YES!!!!!!!!! We were in the area to hit up the antique market on a Saturday and wanted to get breakfast nearby. Easily the best Full English I had while I was in town. Perfectly poached eggs, sausage, black pudding, and beans were on point. The toast was super thick and served with butter, strawberry jelly and jam. That bacon though, probably the best bacon I have shoved down my gullet. Thick with a nice smoky flavor. I will think about this meal for years to come. Great location if you plan to do some shopping on Portobello Road. We were able to catch two seats along their front window facing the street. We just sat and watched all the comings and goings of the market while enjoying our amazing breakfast. I highly recommend the ED for breakfast and we plan to return when we are in town again. read more

We found this place after searching for food on a Saturday evening. The interior is a cool retro diner with upgrades. It is loud, bustling place, but that seemed to fit. The food was good and quick. One person in our party did not like their food, but the Rueben and fish dishes were very good. Drinks were good, My biggest negative was price. It was very expensive for what you got. I would happily have given four stars, but for the price. read more

2 stars for the service, 1 star for the food, 1 star for the space/location - attentive staff on a busy Saturday brunch service. great spot to duck into when visiting Portobello Market. The pancakes are fluffy (order extra syrup), the waffle was ok but the thick cut bacon and fried egg on top was like crack! Was excited for the Cobb salad with smoked salmon although it left me wanting - only the tomatoes were absolutely divine, the smoked salmon was closer to lightly boiled and seasoned (rather plain) and the green goddess dressing was just ok. Tried the Mac 'n cheese - tasty but not crave worthy. read more

This is a fun place with good food, and perfect for anyone who likes Americana, but the atmosphere/decor is the reason to come, and if you book a table for two they may seat you (as they did with us) right at the back, next to the loos and behind a pillar which blocks your view of the restaurant and completely ruins the point of being there. This was a birthday treat so I asked to move, but they said the better tables are reserved for groups of three plus. In short, come here if you're in a group and likely to get a table with a view - avoid if you're in a two. read more
