While doing a long walk around London’s huge roads and parks, I got hungry. My wife’s friend suggested Granger & Co., a Notting Hill neighborhood favorite. Chef Bill Granger, who also writes cookbooks, creates a distinctively Australian flavor to his casual food. We tried some fantastic hard apple cider, was so good I got another bottle. The beet dip and crudite were particularly good, with notes of cumin and a dollop of yogurt. I’d come back for dinner as the menu looks just as good, and chatting with the cooks in the back was a treat.
