Core by Clare Smyth, located in Notting Hill, is the eponymous restaurant of chef Clare Smyth. Core emphasizes natural and sustainable British food, crafting dishes from dedicated farmers and food producers. The elegant and informal dining room provides a modern approach to fine dining. Awarded three Michelin stars, Core earned its stars in the 2021 red book, making Smyth the first British female chef to achieve this honor in the UK. The restaurant offers a tasting menu of classic dishes and a seasonal tasting menu. The detailed construction and presentation are matched by wonderful flavors and textures. A recent redecoration has made the room softer and warmer, while the bar is a delightful spot.
