Having lived in Notting Hill for five years and always walked past The Ark, I finally booked a table. It always looks so inviting and being so hot that evening it was extremely pleasant to sit outside. The food was excellent, I expect partly due to it being privately owned and therefore the attention to detail was impeccable. I would reccomend this to anyone wanting somewhere individual, not part of a chain with atmosphere and character whilst being very down to earth. Fairly expensive but worth every penny… Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and will be going back without a doubt!
