Daylesford Organic - Notting Hill — Restaurant in London

The Ultimate Accolade of Organic Food and Dining- Exploited with Honesty and Integrity. The ultimate accolade of "Organic" wins its prestigious title with variety.

Daylesford combines a hearty menu fit for all dietary requirement, labelling the dishes/ drinks with an * to specify if it is not organic. (FYI there are Limited * on the menu)

The food at Daylesford is (and I mean this with all honesty) by far the best food I have had in the UK. It tastes SO fresh. I actually felt energetic and GOOD after eating... this is what food should taste and feel like to the body.

The interior design of Daylesford Organic is unique to its name. Even the poles on the upstairs seating are made of wood! (Hopefully recycled to keep its name golden) They have a widescreen TV playing clips from their farm. (A Really cool addition and great cinematographer btw!)

The shop offers a beautiful display of all ones heart and gut desires. From organic jams, butters, cheeses, granola, vegetables, fruit, porridge, pickle, to a wide selection of organic wine, beer, and drinks.

Downstairs Daylesford has another shop selling kitchen utilities, home deco, home supplies, organic candles and lotions.

The bathrooms are clean, and smell fresh! Though there is often a queue because (to no surprise) it is a busy, fast-paced, beaming restaurant.

If you just want a coffee - no problem! There is this wonderful Parisian feel upstairs, beaming with energy and light. The cafe offers organic coffees to stay and enjoy outside on the front patio or to take with you to your next destination.

The staff at D.Organic are great, friendly, and accommodating considering the heap.

When we went, we did have to share a table with another couple, but -- this was no problem whatsoever. It never felt shared it felt unified. (Not to be cheesy- but the food does this to you )

I will most definitely return. Daylesford sticks to its name, wins my vote -- and I guess word gets around... thus, it is...

We live in neighbourhood for many years and shopped from here a few times.This Saturday afternoon, my husband and I had a very unpleasant experience in the store. We popped in the store just to check a few things for Christmas, New Year and eventually buy bread and some savoury pastry. They didn’t have anything savoury at the moment, so I skipped the pastry and we just took a bread and kept walking. At first we checked the first floor for our upcoming Christmas, New Year shopping, then went to downstairs to check some table ware. Then, I realised that I was followed by the security wherever I walked. He was following me and pretending to be a customer just looking at the stuff. It really made me uncomfortable and frankly I found it insulting! This is Westbourne Grove, not a ghetto ! And it’s just a deli for god’s sake, not a jewellery store or something ( even in Tiffany & Co or Piaget you won’t be treated like that!), so I would advise them to act like one and don’t take yourself too serious! At the end, I was so annoyed by being followed and we left the store. When I told my husband about this, he said the same thing happened to him as well so the security was following him too! Then we went to one of our usual deli in the neighbourhood; Prezzemolo & Vitale and walked around in the store, checked the stuff without being followed by a stranger, and we found everything that we were looking for. If you are looking for a deli that has great variety of products, good quality and don’t want to be treated like a potential cheese thief , I would recommend; Bayley & Sage ( Marylebone) , La Piccola and Prezzemolo & Vitale in the same neighbourhood. I would never go back there and wouldn’t recommend anyone to walk...

Let me start by saying that I can't fault the quality of the produce used in the cafe. However, what is actually done with that produce is the real determining factor in whether or not an establishment leaves a good impression. This is where Daylesford fell short of the mark. We ordered a seasonal vegetable omelette, avocado on toast and the nut mylk latte. First we were told that there were no avocadoes left, whereas there were many avocadoes on sale in the shop section. Maybe the cafe kitchens aren't allowed to use those, but surely the customer's wishes come first? We instead ordered the eggs benedict with ham. Then we were told that only two of the nut mylk drinks on the menu were available, so we ordered the one with turmeric and other spices, which was delicious (although I would suggest using smaller glasses, as using a large one gives the impression that the portion is small, whereas the serving size was actually 250 ml). The food then arrived and the omelette in particular was very disappointing - a child size omelette with a few cubes of courgette sprinkled over it, then folded. The eggs benedict dish was very flavourful, but could benefit from some extra ham and the bread to be toasted with maybe a smear of butter to hold the ham in place. We also ordered a few items from the bakery counter, which were truly delicious. Overall wonderful quality and we would love to go back, but only if the issues with the dishes themselves...
