Beach Blanket and Babylon is a pretty place where pretty people meet. I've always found it a bit overrated but I can't deny that it's actually pretty and I get fascinated by the decor and the people who hung out there. My main purpose for visiting the place, other than people watching, is the long list of varied - and well made - cocktails that they have. On Saturdays they also have a DJ playing some tunes to the pretty crowd.
However, I also like to come here for a late lunch when visiting Portobello Rd - the menu is not long but it has a bit of everything to satisfy all the palates - pasta, salads, fish, burger, schnitzel - as it's three blocks away from the crowds visiting the market so you're in a safe place (and with pretty people!).
If you, however, want to visit the restaurant at "peak time" make sure you have a reservation, even if it's just for drinks. The place gets packed with pretty people over the weekend.
