A Little Happiness offers a vibrant dining experience where the precision of Japanese cooking meets the warmth and rhythm of the Caribbean, right in the heart of Notting Hill. With its easy-going charm and effortless style, it welcomes every guest with a menu that celebrates the bold soul of island flavours and the refined touch of Asian cuisine.
The menu tells a story — one that’s rich in flavour and full of personality. Small plates arrive with confidence: think fried dumplings with a silky coconut curry sauce or okra and plantain tempura served alongside a punchy spicy mayo. Each dish is a thoughtful balance of cultures — lively, colourful, and carefully composed.
For mains, comfort comes with a twist. Slow-braised beef shin and oxtail stew brings depth and heart, while maple-glazed salmon with carrot purée and crispy kale offers something lighter but no less satisfying. Tradition is honoured, but there’s always a spark of surprise, with a selection of calming teas and infusions to round things off beautifully.
West London’s dining scene has plenty to offer, but few places capture the joy, character, and flavour quite like A Little Happiness.
