You won’t find a more salubrious setting than Kensington Church Street where antique shops mingle with designer boutiques, sweet smelling perfumeries and sweet and sticky patisseries. It’s no mere coincidence that this pristine setting forms the location for Sally Clarke’s acclaimed eatery. A stickler for detail, quality, service and precision, Clarke’s high standards are reflected in her restaurant’s food and atmosphere. Fresh, top of the range, seasonal ingredients, carefully sourced and delicately served, form the key to the restaurant’s success, while a unique, part-British, part-Californian style cuisine offers diners a refreshing twist for the tastebuds. Originally noted for her bold, no-choice menu, Clarke has over recent years relaxed her approach towards her menu now offering diners a limited choice of well-considered dishes, which she updates daily. Despite this concession, an overriding air of control still pervades the restaurant (especially the kitchen) which runs with exacting attention to detail. Don’t arrive too early - the interior may be snug and spruce, but it is small and Clarke much prefers diners to arrive on time so arrivals can be suitably accommodated. Opt for a four-course evening extravaganza complete with cheese and wine (try something from the varied Californian range) or ease into the weekend with one of the restaurant’s excellent Saturday brunches. Whatever your food fancy, Clarke’s will fulfil it – without any fuss.
