About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood 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.

    Clarke’s Notting Hill was the perfect setting for a business lunch, even on the hottest day of the year. The dining room was calm, comfortable and, thankfully, air conditioned, making it an ideal place to meet a client. Service was excellent throughout: attentive, polished and unobtrusive. The seasonal menu was superb, with fresh, well-judged dishes that felt perfectly suited to the occasion. A highly reliable choice for a refined lunch.

    For 28 years, we have been going to Clarke's in London. Sally Clarke is amazing and one of the most friendly, gracious hosts you will ever meet. The staff and service follow suit and are first rate. In sum, Clarke's is a truly unique dining experience where sublime farm to table cuisine, an elegant and relaxed upscale neighborhood ambience, and warm, seamless service all come together to ensure a wonderful evening and great meal.

    Not really in my part of London, but I had been here for a wine dinner organized by The Wine Society, the UK's well respected cooperative wine merchant, some years ago and been meaning to revisit. Glad I did. The service is as noted by others, smooth, friendly and super efficient. The food quality is as good as I've ever encountered - I don't understand why Clarke's has no Michelin star. The lack of complication would probably prevent them getting more than one; but, all the better on the whole, in my view. I was first in the door this evening, but the room quickly filled up with what were obviously mostly keen local regulars. The wine list is reasonably priced and quite wide ranging - a few more Southern hemisphere selections would be welcome. The server steered me away from Pinot Noir or Syrah to Zinfandel for the morel pasta and the duck, a good call as it turned out. The room is a joy of tasteful, restrained, relaxing design. Highlight today was the choice of wild garlic leaves on the pappardelle pasta, rather than the more usual basil - a brilliant modification. For what you get, in an extremely upmarket location, it's excellent value. Despite Clarke's being at the wrong compass point for me, I must try to get here more regularly.

    It was wonderful to be back. We got a warm welcome. It's like coming home! The menu of the day was so excellent .....it was an obvious immediate choice for all 3 of us. Delicious little salad. Melting duck leg. To die for almond lemon tart (I need to check all the Sally Clarke books to see if this recipe is included). The red house wine was perfect. As was the espresso. Be back soon!
