Black and Blue, Notting Hill Gate
If you are as keen on burgers as I am, then this is the place for you. The atmosphere is relaxed and easy, the food is always delicious and the bills are always low – although that does also depend on how much you drink…
B&B is a great place to go for a mid-week outing. You are not able to book, but I have never waited more than 5 minutes for a table.
This time, there were three of us, two opted for the legendary B&B bacon and cheeseburger (rare, of course) and the other (my husband), must have been particularly hungry, and ordered the cote de boeuf – all to himself, but it is more of a sharing meal.
The burgers come with chips and salad, but as I usually can’t finish everything, I often ask for no chips and extra salad. If you are not ravenous, the cote de boeuf is ample for two, especially as it comes with chips, salad and a range of dips. A particular favorite of ours is to ask for a pot of guacamole to go with the beef. Whilst it might initially seem like a strange accompaniment, you really should try it first – amazing!
I eat at B&B regularly, and so far have had no complaints at all, the waitresses are always helpful and cheery, the burgers always juicy and tasty, and clearly good enough quality to eat rare. The cote de beouf, is always cooked to perfection, charred on the outside but rare in the middle. I guess the only grumble is that the tortilla chips we once ordered for a starter, didn’t come with cheese 
But I will let you into a little secret; if you ask the waitress nicely, she will bring a plate of melted burger cheese to pour on top…mmmmmmmmmnnnnnn
The menu is simple but has plenty of choice for everyone, even the particularly extravagant of eaters, who can opt for the foie gras burger!
Good wine selection, great atmosphere, great food and great prices!
