A warm welcome and charming, knowledgeable service are guaranteed at Clare Smyth’s elegant Notting Hill restaurant. The detailed construction and eye-catching presentation of dishes like ‘Smoked Fowey mussels’ or ‘Rhug Estate venison’ are matched by wonderful flavours and textures. Go for one of the 7 course tasting menus; one is made up of her classics (like ‘Potato and roe’ and the ‘Core-teser’ dessert), the other is informed by the current season. A 2023 redecoration has made the room softer and warmer, while the bar is a delightful spot.
