Absolutely exquisite food, making the most of the ingredients executing at the highest levels. At the price point could perhaps add a few more luxury ingredients (e.g. a real serving of caviar or some truffles), but at the same time the menu is better than just haphazardly adding lux ingredients for the sake of it. The restaurant staff was wonderful and showcased great expertise and enthusiasm.

As a group of six food-loving siblings, we chose Core by Clare Smyth in Kensington for a surprise 40th birthday celebration, and it was an absolutely divine experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and the service throughout was impeccable. Watching the artistry in the kitchen unfold was a delight, showcasing their expertise and passion for food. The incredibly attentive staff were knowledgeable about the extensive menu, offering recommendations and expertly pairing drinks, wine, and cocktails. The food tasting was truly out of this world, with every dish exquisitely prepared. They also catered to all dietary requirements effortlessly, accommodating gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options without a hitch. The elegant setting combined with great company and the professionalism of the staff made for an unforgettable evening. Each course was a masterpiece, both in presentation and taste, making the birthday celebration extra special. Core by Clare Smyth is more than just a meal—it’s a memorable culinary experience. We highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in exceptional food, world-class service, and a truly wonderful atmosphere. A perfect place for a special occasion or simply to enjoy incredible food!

Fabulous lunch for my husbands 60th. My only comment would be is that they had just got us a lovely glass of champagne and then immediately moved us to our table, think they should have either given us a few more minutes or served us at our table - but didn’t spoil anything.

Outstanding food and top notch service from knowledgeable, personable staff. My wife and I went for the 2 tasting menus which reflect local seasonal produce prepared with wit and creativity. First rate food - plus an excellent wine list.
