Honest Burgers

The Brooklynfication of north Notting Hill continues! American burgers, American beer, and… rosemary chips? I guess that’s what makes it more Brixton and less American. Honest Burgers has come to West London – and pretty much the most conspicuous place possible: Portobello Road.
It’s a good call; the tourist foot traffic alone is enough to keep it packed to the gills on market days. It stays pretty full the rest of the week, too. For me, it’s not a lot of competition for The Electric Diner, whose burger, is one of my favorites in the whole wide world of processed meat. Their ‘American sauce’ is sort of a Thousand Island dressing concoction and the patty is a bit thick for my liking.
I do love those rosemary chips, however. Plus the selection of American bottled suds and Sheppy’s cider is fab. And as most hipster restaurants go, the house music is pretty great. I can’t imagine this location won’t succeed, so it doesn’t make me feel so bad when I go up the street a bit for the Electric’s burger instead.
