Cocotte Notting Hill

You're walking down Westbourne Grove on a Saturday morning, slightly hungover, desperately needing brunch. Cocotte gets it. This is proper French bistro fare without the stuffy maître d' energy—think buttery croissants, jammy soft-boiled eggs in soldiers, and croque monsieurs that justify skipping the gym. The room's got that unfussy Parisian café vibe, all exposed brick and simple wooden tables, packed with locals who've clocked it as the real deal. Prices won't sting you either, which in Notting Hill is basically a miracle.
