Hotels near Gold

On the site of what used to be the Portobello Gold pub, Gold is a neighbourhood restaurant and late-night bar which draws on a talented team. Head Chef Theo Hill has come from The River Cafe while the front of house team is in the safe hands of Alex Ghalleb (Pizza East) and Arez Akgundogdu (Soho House). The menu puts the focus on dishes cooked in wood ovens or over open flame and served to share. Wood roasted whole sea bream, burrata served with Parma ham, and wood roasted cauliflower with toasted buckwheat are just three examples. Set over four floors, the ground floor has a bar and open kitchen area, leading out into a lush garden room. With a retractable roof and landscaped with mature trees, the garden room offers a tranquil escape from the busy Portobello Road while the first floor lounge and dining area is topped by a private party room on the second floor. Modern bohemian interiors are by local architect and design duo Felix and Valerie von Bechtolsheim and feature show-stopping art works by Portuguese artist Vhils, who has also created the pavement-to-roof installation on the outside of the building.
