Winner of London's most romantic French-inspired restaurant

Clos Maggiore

Some fine dining places chase (Michelin) stars, this one puts them on the ceiling and walls! Their social media team work very hard to make sure you know about the decorations inside and these are as bountiful as the videos would suggest, but then this isn't a museum, it is a restaurant. And so we come to the food... I went on a Saturday and had the tasting menu and wine pairing. Both were lovely and well executed. Yet both felt like not enough thought had gone into them. Perhaps a little less time erecting a life sized polar bear(!), and a bit more time refining a more complicated menu would have been better in my opinion. Having said that, this will be a perfectly good tasting menu for most, and the price is very good. We all had a very enjoyable evening with a special mention to the very warm staff. All I would add is that it would benefit from a bar area for us to enjoy some drinks. We were ushered from the table after 2 hours and then placed in a very small and unwelcoming area which meant we preferred to go somewhere else afterwards. But when the restaurant looks this good, we would have happily stayed for more drinks!

I was so amazed with the christmas ambiance. While making my reservation I asked them to be seated near the fireplace if possible. They were so kind to give us a table right in front of the fireplace. We waited a bit more but it worths it. The service was excellent. The scallop and the crab cake was so good. We ordered baked beef for the main. It was for 2 people and huge. We liked it. A very good experience

Me and my husband celebrated our wedding anniversary here at clos. We got the 3 course menu - highly recommend seabass with yuzu as starter and short rib beef as the main. Panacotta was also lovely. Overall it was a value for money. Service was brillant. Perfect dining spot for special occasions

The restaurant is fancy, well designed and looks stunning both inside and out. The staff and service were excellent.
However, the food itself was very average, and the prices felt too high considering the portion size and overall flavor.
They did surprise us with a birthday cake, which was a lovely gesture, but at the end of the day, the food is what matters and it simply didn’t stand out.

Went with my girlfriend and her parents and had a truly amazing experience. The food was outstanding, which, matched with good service, wine, and drinks made the night unforgettable.

I had the scallop and the venison which were both very good.

We all had a very nice time and the atmosphere was truly outstanding too: the Christmas decoration made everything warmer. Would absolutely recommend also for romantic dates!

Chicken can be preordered when booking. Pork and alcohol served.
