Recently visited Core by Clare Smyth for a Friday lunch. After having visited the Fat Duck and L’Enclume the days prior I felt that Core was the best of the three. The room is elegant, the service is extremely quick and almost every dish was a hit (one dessert being the exception). Overall, I was truly blown away by the entire experience. Core is a must visit when in London.
Also, Core allows you to choose different menus for the same table. We greatly appreciated this as it allowed us to explore the entire menu in one meal. A small detail, but as both menus are the same length, Core make sure that each menu has a similar protein for each course (ex. the lamb and venison are served simultaneously) which makes the experience extremely smooth.
Tip : Lunch reservations are much easier to get than dinner reservations and serve the same menus
