Look out for Portuguese pastéis de nata and Brazilian pão de queijo alongside croissants and focaccia sandwiches. I popped in for a pastel de nata and an iced coffee, served in a clear Tamp-branded can.

The shop mixes established labels with lesser-known designers, giving it a distinctive Nordic feel. It’s a good stop if you like finding pieces you won’t necessarily see on the high street.
4. Fill up on freshly baked sourdough at Mother’s Bakehouse, 16 Devonshire Road. Stop at this independent bakery for their sourdough, focaccia, pastries and sweet bakes. I had the roasted vegetable focaccia with mozzarella and rocket salad, which was so good, while the cinnamon buns looked equally tempting. Arcane at 42 Devonshire Road is another good café stop nearby for focaccia.

The counter offers plenty of choices, making it a great stop on a warm day. They also offer cakes and other sweet treats if you’re not in the mood for ice cream.
7. Try Japanese favourites at Rokkon, 4 Devonshire Road. This small Japanese restaurant offers an intimate setting for sushi, sashimi and a selection of hot dishes. The menu includes familiar favourites alongside more traditional options, with everything served in a cosy neighbourhood setting. It’s the sort of place that feels quietly tucked away despite being just off Chiswick High Road.
8. Tuck into New York style pizza at Doctor Dough, 19 Devonshire Road. This independent pizzeria brings a New York influence to Devonshire Road with generously topped pizzas and long-fermented dough. Expect classic flavours alongside changing specials, all served in a relaxed setting. It’s a good option for an easy evening meal or something casual to share.
9. Feast on seafood at The Whistling Oyster, 46 Devonshire Road. Part fishmonger and part seafood bar, this independent spot specialises in fresh fish and shellfish. Sit down for oysters, seafood platters and changing dishes, or call in to pick up something to cook at home. It has a relaxed local feel that suits Devonshire Road perfectly.
10. Finish with dinner at La Trompette, 3–7 Devonshire Road. This long-established neighbourhood restaurant is a lovely choice when you want something more special at the end of the day.
