The Concept

Kinz, meaning 'treasure' in Arabic, finds its home in a former 1930s Lloyds bank in Notting Hill Gate. The transformation is led by Rasha Khouri Bruzzo, known for the well-regarded Palestinian restaurant Akub nearby. The all-day Lebanese brasserie opens on 1st June, offering a hint of the Middle East in a neighbourhood that appreciates both history and innovation.

What to Expect

Step into a dining room defined by its triple-height ceilings, a bold architectural statement that honours the building's heritage. The menu offers a tapestry of Lebanese flavours, though precise dishes remain under wraps for now. Expect a thoughtful integration of traditional and contemporary elements, with emphasis on quality ingredients and vibrant presentation. The space itself combines modern design with nods to its banking past — think marble, brass, and a sense of elegance that isn’t easily replicated.

The Verdict

Kinz is set to become a local landmark for those who appreciate depth over dazzle. Visit for a leisurely lunch to truly savour the space.
