"Gail’s is my go to spot when I’m in need of comfort. I enjoy taking a break in their large seating area on chilly days; even when it 's busy, I feel I can get the privacy I need, and visiting in the early evening, when Portobello Road’s shops begin to close, is a guarantee for peace and quiet. Their cappuccino is the best I’ve had in Notting Hill so far: topped with plenty of creamy milk, and made with coffee delicate enough to please my tastebuds. The food in display on the counter looks beautiful, as if it had come straight out of a cookbook photoshoot. Every time I visit, my only regret is not being able to take all the cakes home; I haven 't tried any of them yet, as I 'd find it extremely hard to just choose one, but always swear to myself I 'll come back for them. What I have tried is their artisan bread. Several of the breads, in fact: I often pop in on my way home from work, on days when soup 's on the menu for dinner and I 'm longing for more than the usual supermarket bought baguette. So far, I 've picked a different type of bread every time; mostly variations on wholemeal bread, which is my favourite, but I 've also had their potato and rosemary bread and loved it think of a similar taste to focaccia, minus the lashings of oil and salt. The staff will offer to slice the bread in store for you, and although I now know that 's the norm for them, the first time it happened it felt like a small wow moment (long gone are the days of wrestling with thick crusts and scattering crumbs all over the table... . They 'll also equip you with a rather large carrier bag to take it home another godsend if you 're walking long distances , and make sure you pick up a loyalty card before you leave, because the deal 's pretty sweet. A free loaf after ten purchases? I 'll be back to rack up more stamps as fast as my legs can take me."

"The restaurant is cosy and located in an inauspicious area of Putney, away from the high street so not instantly an obvious dinner choice in this popular part of town. From the outside, the property looks a little dated and cramped, but this hides it's traditional and homely vibe. The staff were friendly and attentive from the outset- the first table my friend and I were sat at had a slight wobble, but the waiter noticed this and moved us straight away before it had even really come to our attention. We were given a detailed run through of the specials and never felt rushed to make our choices, though predictably they were keen for us to try as many of their delicacies as possible. We skipped starters and went straight to mains, my Wild Boar with Tagliatelle was delightful, not too rich and the flavours of the meat were not dulled by an abundance of sauce. My tastes are slightly more basic than some, so I for one appreciated the pasta being softer, though I know most would probably prefer it slightly more al dente. My friend had the special ravioli of the day (spinach and ricotta), which was also reportedly very nice. There was an extensive wine menu to choose from, I'm not an expert myself but my friend picked an Italian Merlot that was well described in the menu, which was reasonably priced. The overall bill for two mains, a bottle of wine and post meal tea and coffee was a little under £70 in total, which I would say is fairly reasonable for a restaurant of this authenticity. I paid in cash, which I know is fairly unusual these days, but it was a surprise when the waiter apologised that they did not have any change that night. This was not an issue as this covered a tip, but I realise this would be annoying if there was a less enjoyable visit. I have already recommended Isola Del Sole to friends and will continue to do so- this is an enjoyable culinary experience in Putney that made for a very satisfying Thursday evening!"

"Very disappointed with the level of service of service and the limited choice of main courses and the extortionate prices of drinks, long wait for service and only marginally interested staff. Drinks sat on the bar for at least 20 minutes before they were eventually put on our table. The Old Bank appears to have only a choice of 5/6 main courses and whilst the burgers were acceptable they came with cheap deep fried chips and no other accompaniments no presentation. One member of our party ordered a Buddha bowl which should not have been served – a few cheap tinned beans, peas, frozen spinach, kimchi or such like – at a cost of £12.95 which could only have cost £2.00 max to put together. There was no roasted butternut squash, dressing and the brown rice needed to go in the bin; we never saw any fresh sugar snap peas or hummus – everything had come out of a tin and was not ‘fresh’. £17.00 for a cheeseburger with frozen chips, no salad and no presentation, BUDDHA BOWL £12.95); roasted butternut squash, Cajun chickpeas? really!, sugar snaps, harissa hummus, sweet corn and hazelnut mirin dressing with brown rice and pumpkin seeds?? all tinned and very unlikely.... CHEESEBURGER beef patty, mayonnaise, gherkins, American cheese, diced onion, no mustard no ketchup and triple cooked chips? – deep fried frozen chips to be sure... If The Old Bank is advertising as a brunch outlet; it may serve but certainly must be one of the most expensive unappealing presented in London. All in all, a very disappointing experience Added to insult was the most expensive cheap sauvignon blanc costing we discovered too late nearly £14.00 per glass!! outrageous – it was not even pleasant! The only other offering was a pinot grigio. We would not recommend The Old Bank as a Fullers outlet. There was no ambiance and ghastly rubbish 'pop ' music played loudly through the speakers... With all the competition in Northcote Road this is a place to be avoided."
