The Market Bar on the ground floor is a Portobello institution, bohemian, slightly seedy, frequented by old Rastafarians and bright young things alike. The overgrown candles are legendary. Find a table in the shadows and share a bottle of wine to the sounds of a funky live band. DJs play Friday and Saturday nights with live music (usually jazz) to while away a lazy Sunday.

Upstairs and more upmarket is a Thai restaurant serving delicious and well-priced traditional fare. Come with a group of friends and order a feast or treat your loved one to a romantic meal for two. The atmosphere is convivial and lively with both local fans and a smattering of visitors. The staff are pleasant and eager to please.
