Top Sushi Arrives in London, Courtesy of the Team Behind Dorian
Notting Hill keeps giving London diners reasons to come back and feast. The neighborhood, internationally famous for its annual carnival, Portobello Road antiques market and that eponymous movie, has more recently become known as one of the city's top dining areas. That's thanks to a slew of openings including, most recently, the country-stylish Fat Badger pub and Jackson Boxer's neighborhood spot, Dove. One of the early attention-grabbing restaurants among this latest wave is Dorian; its reputation for modern bistro-forward fare and an expansive wine list has morphed into a zeitgeist-defining, perennially packed Beckham hangout. Now, the duo behind Dorian, Chris D'Sylva and chef Max Coen, are following a different formula. Their newest spot is Eel Sushi Bar, located right across the street from their starry freewheeling bistro. The 12-seat counter (with six more spots outdoors) is using a high turnover formula— seatings are one hour—to accommodate both reservations and walk-ins from noon until 10 p.m. And the restaurant is already filling a sizeable gap in London's mid price sushi scene.
