"Core By Clare Smyth is exactly the place to get involved in fine dining if you’re someone who, shockingly, actually wants a proper meal. Headed up by a chef whose CV reads like The Michelin Guide To Planet Earth, this converted townhouse in Notting Hill feels like your quietly fancy friend’s living room (read: candles, books, tasteful foliage, and plush grey seating). The food is a tour of excellent but familiar British produce, tweaked in interesting ways, and combined with the occasional unusual ingredient.

"Core is a British fine dining restaurant inside a fancy townhouse. It’s where we’ve eaten the best carrot of our lives and tested our phone’s storage capacity by going full stage mom over a perfect scallop tartare plated in a shell. Course after course is excellent, and the experience itself is formal but doesn’t feel too stuffy. Dishes like mini lobster rolls and homemade wine gums will make even the most hardened of adults feel giddy." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

The British food here is perfectly executed, exciting, and most importantly, extremely tasty. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
