Great restaurant, food delicious and perfect service

Everything is on the top level, food is delicious, staff is so nice and kind and atmosphere there is amazing

The food and drinks were lovely and the customers served was really nice , definitely recommend all

It was really awesome with Clarke’s nice staff nice food, my wife really liked their service. Thanks for giving us a nice moment.

I had a very enjoyable meal here the astomphere and service was excellent, the food was something else. You have to go to this restaurant it's amazing with a great choice of courses,wine, and made very welcome

The food here was amazing as well as great service, we were looked after very well and I will defiantly be returning! The presentation of the food was also spot on

Very good service very kind staff food test great 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The most delicious wine, the most delicious food, the most sophisticated but welcoming ambience and sincerely the friendliest and most helpful service you could possibly ask for. Thank you.

Brilliant Restaurant that's a step above the rest. All day long!!! Keep up the good work.

One of my favorite dinners ever in London. The food is very good. I had the veal chop which was outstanding. Wife had chicken with insanely crispy skin also great. The room is beautiful and elegant. The staff are all very professional particularly Taddeo who helped us and front of house Paul is first class. There are a lot of great restaurants in London, but none like this- this place is special. We first went here 36 years ago when we last lived in London, there’s a reason it’s still here. 

Great experience. Approve of lack of background music, allows a relaxed atmosphere

A little disappointing experience. The food was nothing particularly special, and it was very pricey for what it was. The front of house service was however excellent and attentive. We went on a Friday night and it was not busy, so I think we might not be the only ones who think that it is over-priced for the food offered.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food: Modern British A really special restaurant. A very warm, welcoming atmosphere with prompt first class service at this well established Notting Hill institution. The food was beautifully prepared and served and everything was delicious. The hand cut chips and egg custard tart were outstanding. It’s a treat to dine here and somewhere you’ll be keen to return to. What I liked: • Absolutely everything. • Delightful, attentive service • Beautiful dining room • Stunning presentation • Delicious flavours • Good portion sizes • The delicious bread What I didn’t like: • N/A Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? SOMEWHAT Price Point: $$$+

There are so few really memorable neighbourhood restaurants but this is one to go time and time again.

An absolutely fabulous evening, would definitely recomend

Food was cold, service was poor, and the atmosphere was chaotic, waitress was rude.!!!!!!

El restaurante Clarkes es increíble y ofrece un excelente servicio al cliente. La comida era increíble y a un precio adecuado.

I love the food here and I love it how they customer service is I would recommend u lot to come here and try they food

Food was amazing Table service was spot on Love travelling to try new foods

Clarkes restaurant was amazing. The customer service was excellent and the food was perfect. Highly recommend!

Clarke's Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy, elegant atmosphere that set the tone for a perfect dining experience. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of options that cater to every palate. Dessert was the highlight of the meal – their signature Tarte Tatin. It was the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, with a buttery crust that melted in my mouth. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Every detail, from the presentation of the dishes to the ambiance, reflected a commitment to excellence. Clarke's is more than just a restaurant – it’s an experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in exceptional cuisine and outstanding service. I can’t wait to return!

Nice food and service from entertainment. Nice atmosphere. Feel like paradise.

It was a restaurant to be, the hospitality was great 👍

Absolutely amazing, no complaints the food absolutely presented well, the flavours distributed upon taste i’m going to be a regular i can tell

Had the pleasure of dinning at Clarke restaurant and I found it absolutely amazing from the delicious food menu and the amazing helpful staff. Truly wonderful dinning experience 10/10

A great experience dining in..Love the service top notch and would definitely recommend it my family

Truly outstanding! Starters and mains were amazing, I was so pleasantly surprised

Went there with my partner for our years anniversary. They mad us feel very welcome and even gave us discount on the bill. Would go again!

Great food, great service. A little gem.

I loved their service I will come back again

It's a beautiful restaurant, I've entered it more than once, my friends and the food was brushing and delicious. I advise the world to go to eat there because it's one of the best foods that I'm staying in this 5-star restaurant.

Tasty with plenty size portions service was amazing and atmosphere was lovely

Beautiful place to dine. Excellent food, excellent service Excellent all. Highly Recommend

Bad experience. Takeaway cold and not cooked right!

Great food and great experience very happy

Excellent food, friendly staff, always puts you first,

The friendliest most bubbliest staff the food is top tier chefs kiss would definitely recommend such a chilled vibe in there for all types of people overall amazing atmosphere.

Atmosphere as much as the food was amazing! Would recommend

Excellent service excellent food! Give it a try!!

Este lugar no tiene chispa, . La comida de atmósfera cero es casi promedio. Me pregunto seriamente por qué en la tierra uno iría allí de nuevo. El servicio es bueno y amable, pero eso es todo

Super nice and charming place. Food is on good quality, Service is at the spot and knows their business, while being discrete. Atmosphere is very nice, as you can feel and see that visitors are coming regularly. A bit too pricy for a resto w/o a star. But definitely a recommendation.

Beautiful food, amazing service, was a real lovely treat

Excellent - fresh food menu - always good. I had the veal chop which had outstanding flavor. My wife had the John Dory - also excellent.

I hadn’t been to this wonderful restaurant in over 20 years. As a Californian, with a high respect for Alice Waters, a mentor to Sally Clarke, I wanted to revisit with my London-resident children for a celebratory dinner. We were all thrilled with our experience. The waiters were such professionals, friendly and helpful, but discreet. The seasonal menu and daily suggestions made it very hard to choose our courses. I think each of us had menu envy for the others’ choices. We wanted it all! I hope Clarke’s truly enjoys their upcoming 40 year anniversary dinner. The team deserves it. Thank you for creating such a warm environment, allowing me to host my children, and treat them to a really delicious meal, original cocktails and a perfect bottle of Duoro Valley red. Well done!

Limited choice on the lunch menu and extremely expensive

I recently dined at a fantastic restaurant that truly impressed me! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that set the perfect mood. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our meal. We started with a few appetizers, and each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I ordered the grilled salmon, which was cooked to perfection—flaky and seasoned just right. The sides complemented the dish beautifully. To top it off, we indulged in dessert, and the chocolate lava cake was a standout. Rich and decadent, it was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, this restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience, and I can’t wait to return for more! Highly recommended!

Food was amazing and the service was amazing definitely recommend

What a wonderful lunch! We felt in automn Provence but in London. If you want to feel at home and enjoy real good french inspired food you are right here. My favourite restaurant in London.

One of my favorites in London ...,it's perfection!

Here for lunch with some American friends . Stunning set lunch , best roast chicken I have ever had , lovely home made ice cream . GO for a great experience, outstanding food , outstanding service , lovely setting , good wine , reasonable prices . Just great .

I’ve fallen a bit out of love with restaurants. Service glitches like food arriving before the wine in places where you are made to feel they are doing you a favour for taking your money have taken the magic away a bit. So it was an absolute joy to rediscover Clarke’s after being away for a decade or so. Quite simply everything hits the spot. Great, unrushed service and a warm welcome. Food delicious. Wine equally so (and served before dishes arrive). Nice to see owner Saliy Clarke hands on. Not cheap but worth every penny.

A smallish restaurant that is not loud and noisy. Food is English with good size portions cooked very well. Price isn’t cheap, of course, but not over the top. A rather nice place to eat.

Always an excellent evening , from the warmth of the welcome to the quality of the food .

Classy traditional restaurant. White tablecloth, beautiful paintings, unobtrusive and attentive service, excellent wine selection. The food is of very good quality, but lacks ultimate refinement.expensive, maybe normal for Kensington. Would return for the atmosphere and experience

We've had lunch here a few times it's superb. A real treat, great attentive service, a beautiful dining room and excellent seasonal food. Go now :)

From start to finish, exceptional. Warm and welcome greeting, comfortable dinning room with great ambiance. We enjoyed every single course and at the end felt comfortable and well dined. Above exceptional was the bread and butter, yes truly, the wine, monk fish main, cheese and biscuits were best ever, and final deserts terrific. Will be back as soon as we win the premium bonds again 🤣

A very classy restaurant. Good welcome and attentive service. Wide choice on the menu and the wine list. It has become quite expensive so moves into category of “for special occasions”

After a year away Paul stull showed me to my favoueir table. Sally Clarke was still there smil8ng and in charge. Great food and ambience at reasonable prices. Try Sally's champagne and wine Very special cooking and presentation Go!

Another memorable dinner at Clark’s! This time we chose Clark’s to celebrate a very special occasion as we send our youngest child off to University. As you can imagine we wanted a perfect low stress evening and chose Clark’s because of its welcoming, charming atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful food. The corn soup, veal, scallops and chicken were cooked beautifully. We all enjoyed our evening immensely! Thank you to everyone at Clark’s for your kind, attentive service and delicious menu. We will be back ! :)

Very classic, nice atmosphere, perfect service, highly recommended

Absolutely our best farm to table meal in London. Sally Clarke runs an understated but glorious restaurant that pays homage to Alice Water’s Chez PanIsse. Every element of your meal is organic,, fresh and perfectly cooked. We loved the impeccable scallops with roe, the venison and grouse. The service is outstanding and Sally herself enjoys roaming the restaurant to ensure all is perfect. Kudos

I enjoy everything about this place. Always a good experience. Food is simple and seasonal. I wish it was more “spot on” in terms of execution. As someone who enjoys cooking I got rather precise expectations when I go out and spend quite a bit for the food. I really do like the atmosphere. It feels like being in one’s dining room without having to cook and serve the food yourself!

The food, as ever, was delicious, fresh ingredients beautifully cooked. The service was impeccable, the staff friendly and efficient. The restaurant is perfectly laid out to give diners plenty of room. And none of the canned music that blights so many dining experiences! A splendid experience which we look forward to repeating!

I booked Clarke’s for my mums 70th birthday family dinner. I was honestly blown away by the service we received. We had pre organised champagne on arrival and a personalised birthday cake for dessert. We absolutely loved our dining experience, the food was delicious, the service was fantastic. Sally came over to chat to us and wish my mum a happy birthday. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better restaurant to celebrate such a special occasion! Thank you so much!

We knew the owner Sally Clarke when she was still in California, before opening this spot in London. We have visited her at least once on every trip we've made to London. In the late 1990's by coincidence my parents were in London on their only foray overseas. I took them to Clarke's. My mother asked "where's the rest of the menu", having never been to such a place. This is epitome of fine dining, without the pretentiousness. I won't bore you with the luncheon menu details as it changes daily. But it was quite the treat on our five days at the BBC Proms this year.

If ever you are in London and want to eat a fine meal - this your place . This fine dining experience here for us was unforgettable . The most charming place to eat a satisfying meal classy to the core . The excellence in service , the quality of food and the decor outdo each - perfect . I came here with my family of six and had reservations ahead of our visit . The food menu has options for vegetarians ( limited ) and non veg ( more). The leg of duck and the fish was supreme as I could see the family members enjoyed it . My pasta dish was creamy and tasty . The choice of wines are good . This fine dining comes with high prices but worth it. The icing on the cake was I got to meet the legend Ms Sally herself with words of appreciations for coming here . The perfect star and her star eatery . Highly recommended .

Clarke's Nottinghill Review Clarke's Nottinghill, established by Sally Clarke in December 1984, is a London restaurant with a rich history and a loyal clientele. Known for its simple, seasonal cuisine and welcoming ambiance, Clarke's has long been a staple for artists, writers, and local residents. However, my recent visit to Clarke's for a birthday meal presented a mixed experience that left me questioning the value and service quality. Atmosphere and Setting The dining room at Clarke's is elegantly decorated, with light sage-colored walls, woven bistro chairs, and pristine white tablecloths, creating a comfortable and inviting ambiance. Paintings by renowned artists like Hockney and Freud adorn the walls, adding to the sophisticated yet homey feel. The table spacing was just right, ensuring a cozy but not cramped dining experience. However, the fair ambiance was overshadowed by a disappointing service encounter that set an unfortunate tone for the evening. Food and Presentation The menu at Clarke's features a blend of British and Mediterranean influences, celebrating seasonal ingredients with a simple, no-nonsense presentation. We started with Scottish smoked salmon with crème fraiche and rye toasts, and burrata with flat peach, pistachio nuts, and garden rocket. Both starters were fresh and flavorful, though unremarkable in presentation. For the main course, we had the roasted Scottish halibut fillet with datterini and red peppers, and the grilled Correze veal fillet with sage and broad beans. The halibut was well-cooked and complemented nicely by the wine we chose, a Sally Clarke Touraine Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc. The veal fillet was tender and accompanied by perfectly steamed spinach and potato mash. We concluded our meal with a selection of British and Irish cheeses, affogato, Peche Melba, and Eton Mess. The desserts were enjoyable, particularly the Eton Mess, which offered a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Service Despite the pleasant setting and decent food, the service was a major letdown. The manager on duty rudely moved our plates to another table after they had been sitting on ours for just four minutes, without offering any apologies. This experience marred the evening and made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Value for Money Considering the high price point, the overall value for money at Clarke's was disappointing. The food quality and taste did not justify the cost, especially when coupled with the subpar service. While the restaurant has a storied history and many glowing reviews, my experience suggests that there are better dining options in London for the same price range. Conclusion Clarke's Nottinghill may have a long-standing reputation and a loyal customer base, but my recent visit did not live up to the expectations set by its history. The ambiance and food were satisfactory, but the poor service significantly detracted from the experience. Given the high prices, I find it unlikely that I will return to Clarke's, especially considering it was meant to be a special birthday meal.

Always a very civilised lunch with delicious food 😋 and faultless service.

We arrived spontaneously for lunch and enjoyed sitting outside so much we ate lunch and then had something sweet with a coffee and then bought some premade food to take home for our dinner. The mushroom pizza was amazing! Thank you 😊

wonderful spot for an elegant lunch Sally comes around and checks on her patrons

We were filming last Sunday and a completely incandescent ex husband to poor Sally Clarke turned up, shouting, threatening, cut to chase. Police arrived ,Film crew left. Just hope the poor man can recieve some therapy and anger management. Utterly stressful. Apart from that. I've always loved the place. The shop people opposite were divine as was the superb manager of the restaurant. Just sorry about, Mr Shouty. He does need to stop bullying women!

Absolutely vile place … the owner has been throwing tantrums and abusing people verbally

An exceptional meal in a friendly and convivial setting. Really quite wonderful

As always, Clarke's offers a brilliant balance of friendly attentive service, warm relaxed ambiance and above all delicious fresh beautifully cooked and presented food.

A great welcome from all the front of house staff greeted us on our arrival for a birthday celebration. We enjoyed delicious food, beautifully served and, quite un-asked, a birthday cake appeared at the end of our meal - for which we were able to sing a suitable chorus! A wrap-around relaxed atmosphere prevailed in the restaurant whether you were enjoying a quiet meal or, like us, having a birthday get -together. An evening to remember.

Still my favourite restaurant! but now I miss the 'Sally's Menu selection' at dinner. This was a set price menu for dinner, selected by the chef who knows best. It NEVER failed to impress, you just ordered "two set menu" without looking, knowing it would be please. Sally.."Please, bring it back!" so I can come for dinner instead of lunch.

A beautiful dinner in a very nice restaurant

Lovely Restaurant, all courses were fantastic, as was the service . One of the best dining experiences I have had in West London.

Everything and everyone- fantastic!

With so many 5 star ratings and a price over £250 for 2, I had high expectations. Chosen with care I expected to go WOW sadly I didn't. The service was super efficient but they clucked over the regulars like a mother hen while not once where we even ask how was our day or why we were in London. Dining out is an experience sadly this aspect just came across as pretentious. My wife's starter of asparagus has a beautiful hollandaise sauce and my lobster was fine but a bit chewy. Both our mains of Chicken and Dover Sole were uninspiring with the blandest carrots we have tasted in a while. My cheese board had nice cheeses. The strawberries tasted beautiful but seriously a bowl of brown sugar and cream for £16 even in London. To be clear each course was fine but not once did I go that was amazing which is what I hoped for with so many 5 stars for me it was 3.5.

Delightful and perfect from start to finish. Thank you

absolutely fabulous restaurant, outstanding dishes of real food tastefully made in a very pleasant environment

A delightfully warm welcome was followed by a delicious meal, served by discretely attentive and knowledgeable staff. A lovely relaxed occasion made very special through the service and attention to detail which prevails. A evening to be remembered with great pleasure.

My London favorite for 18 years! Sally Clarke is a culinary hero. One feels immediately welcome in the gracious, intimate and understated elegance of her restaurant home. The menu never misses. Nobody does better with fish, potatoes and delectable sauces. The vegetables are sexy! I would eat anything she sources and prepares. Thank you Sally and your lovely staff. PS the new GF bread is extraordinary.

.....you have one of man’s most precious gifts – a selective memory. At Clarke's your memories will only be of contentment. The ambience, from the moment you set foot through the door, to sitting down at a pristine white table-cloth, that first sip of a drink and the delicious dinner served by charming, discreet yet attentive staff, all combine to make contented memories. Seasonal ingredients - Jerusalem artichokes, venison - are offered with old favourites - halibut, souffle Suisse - and a well disposed wine list with expert advice at hand. The several rooms, with amazing works-of-art, were full and quietly buzzing with a variety of age groups on my week-day evening visit, which is so encouraging these days. My memories are now selected and will be maintained by Clarke's high standards and consistency.

The food here is sublime. Service professional but not stuffy & the atmosphere warm & welcoming. Well worth a visit.

After my first visit in late summer (meeting a NZ friend I had not seen for 7 years because of covid) which made the meal even more memorable. I booked for my wedding anniversary and we had such delicious food - the kind of food that makes you smile - in fact the best food we’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. Delicious, fresh… the kind of food that is enjoyable to eat. And friendly attentive staff - we loved our wine, champagne and coffee so much that we went over the road and bought it (along with mince pies, chocolate etc etc ) in the shop. A special place for special occasions

Perfect food, service and atmosphere. Want to come back again.

Sally Clarke’s is everything you could hope for in a fantastic meal. The cuisine is intelligently sourced, carefully prepared, and gracefully served. I have often dined here and always wonder why I would dine anywhere else with equivalent flavours and cuisine. To dine here is to experience Art, in all the senses. After years of visiting this establishment in Kensington when in London on trips from the U.S., I specifically chose this neighbourhood when we relocated to London to be within walking distance from Sally’s restaurant. Sally’s has never failed to provide a top-notch dining experience for me and my family and our closest friends.
