The Barbary to open larger Notting Hill restaurant

The team behind the Michelin Bib Gourmand-winning Barbary restaurant in London are to open a sister site in September.

Siblings Zoë and Layo Paskin will launch a second Barbary in Notting Hill, eight years after the original fire-centric restaurant opened in Neal’s Yard.

While guests at the first Barbary sit around a 24-seat counter, the new venue will have space for 75 covers, a dedicated cocktail bar, and offer over 250 wines.

The Paskins ran London nightclub the End from 1995 – 2009 before turning their attention to restaurants and pubs.

Their London hospitality group includes Palomar in Soho (Michelin Bib Gourmand), Evelyn’s Table (Michelin star), the Blue Posts pub, and the Barbary Next Door.

In 2021, the pair launched Studio Paskin, which has seen them consult and collaborate on ventures across the hospitality sector.
