Tanya Burr is one of my favorite make-up/ lifestyle Youtubers so when she posted that she went to The Electric Diner in Notting Hill, I was really intrigued and eager to try it out. My parents took me since it's an eclectic mix of French cuisine and diner food. My Dad is a huge fan of French food so I thought that it would be a fun place for us all to try. The inside of the restaurant is extremely cool, kind of a modern hipster rustic approach to a diner. It looked the inside of a tube tunnel almost with a tiled ceiling and all the dim lighting and shiny red leather boots.
The menu was slightly disappointing, though! I was sold when I slid into the booth but my mood fell drastically when I realized how expensive it was and how plain the menu as a whole was. To start you have to order a main, and then a side which jacks up the price of your meal drastically. Our waiter was pretty pushy too which did not help at all. I ended up getting mac'n'cheese (not as good as my local place in VT or my Mom's) and I remember my Mom getting the fish and it being pretty tasty. Dad got some type of chicken but was less than impressed. The redeeming quality of this restaurant was the chocolate cream pie it offered. Usually whenever I come home from college I am greeted with spaghetti and meatballs and a big ol' chocolate cream pie. Yum. My parents thought it was appropriate considering our reunion and I didn't object. It was pretty tasty! But overall I'm not running back to go here considering it'd be on my own dime and it wasn't anything extraordinary.
