"Arguably one of the most celebrated female chefs in the country, Clare Smyth is the chef patron at her synonymous fine dining restaurant. A converted townhouse in Notting Hill, Core is the restaurant you go to when you want to do the whole fine dining thing without risking a shred of celeriac on a bed of edible leather being your dinner. The British food here is perfectly executed, exciting, and most importantly, extremely tasty. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
