"The Pelican is a great venue for a first date because it screams “dependable and rich”. Think caramel-brown leather banquettes, antique-looking tables, and natural, earthy tones everywhere. It’s the stuff of glossy food magazines, and the bunches of dried flowers and lack of water rings have us wondering if people even drink here. But they do—lots of them. Well-dressed Notting Hill locals pour in after work and lucky dates snag the semi-circle booth in the dining room for casual weeknight meals that are anything but casual.
