Our Favourite Women-Led Bars, Restaurants, And Cafés In London - London - The Infatuation
"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. Make full use of the ‘show next available’ button on OpenTable because you’re never going to be able to book the specific date you want. Even then it’s a torturous game of playing around with dates until something close enough to what you’ve chosen triggers a hit. And then, take it. Take it even if it’s for 9:45pm in three months' time." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
