The Williamsburg brunch favourite's first international outpost, on Westbourne Grove, pairing crafted cocktails with the pancakes that made its name.
Sunday in Brooklyn brought its first international outpost to 98 Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill, carrying over the modern American cooking that made the Williamsburg original a brunch institution. The Infatuation reviewed the London arrival, and the kitchen, from chefs Jaime Young, Todd Enany, and Adam Landsman, leads with locally sourced ingredients and the famous hazelnut pancakes.
For a bar guide, the draw is the way the cocktails sit alongside the food. This is a restaurant with a real drinks programme, not a dedicated cocktail den, so the experience is a crafted drink with brunch or dinner rather than a standalone bar crawl. Come for a weekend brunch with a cocktail, or a relaxed Notting Hill date. Skip it if you want a late-night drinks-only room, because the rhythm here runs on the kitchen.
Sunday in Brooklyn sits on Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill. Book ahead for weekend brunch, which is the busy service. The bar takes walk-ins when there is room.
The Notting Hill dining room carries the warmth of the New York original, relaxed and inviting rather than designed to impress. The bar runs within the restaurant, so drinks and food share the same space.
Weekend brunch is the signature service and the room fills around it. Evenings are calmer, which is when the bar is easiest to use on a walk-in.
The cocktails are expertly crafted and built to pair with the food, leaning into brunch-friendly drinks alongside the kitchen's modern American plates. It is a thoughtful list rather than an encyclopaedic one, designed to complement a meal.
Order a cocktail with the hazelnut pancakes for the full brunch experience, or take a drink at the bar in the evening. The list is the supporting act to the food, and it plays the role well.
