About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
Opened in 1984 by passionate chef Sally Clarke, this local legend on Kensington Church Street has become a firm favourite with professional critics and amateur gourmets alike. For 21 years, Sally served a four-course ‘no choice’ set dinner, but now there is a daily-changing menu that showcases her passion for high quality seasonal produce. Herbs and vegetables come from organic suppliers in South East England; buffalo mozzarella is flown in from Naples twice a week; and shellfish is sent overnight by rail from Scotland. Popular dishes include loin of Balmoral roe deer with apple and sage sauce; baked fillet of Cornish brill with datterini tomatoes and flowering thyme; dark chocolate and chestnut tart. Clarke’s is quite simply an unforgettable experience.

    I love this place. The food is great, the room is beautiful and the front of the house staff are top notch. If you are looking for a loud crazy overdecorated west end restaurant playing club music this is not your place--but if you are looking for a nice night out--special occasion type dinner in an elegant restaurant this is a great restaurant.

    Read about Clark’s in a guidebook and the restaurant didn’t disappoint. Excellent food, service, ambience but it is a bit expensive. Worth the treat!

    From welcome on arrival to pleasant farewell staff are impeccable. The solicitous presence of Mrs Clarke herself most appreciated. One of our absolute favourites. Quality of service matches the delicious fresh food; attentive but not obsequious or intrusive. The ambience is restrained elegance- and for once the tasteful Hodgkin and Freud prints enhance rather than tarnish the experience.
