“You would pay a fortune to eat here if it was in Mayfair”“Adam Byatt’s excellent flagship” near Clapham Common is “so much more than a neighbourhood local” and “perfect for a fancy meal, especially if you live in south London!” Often inviting comparisons with nearby Chez Bruce, with ratings tracking its rival’s closely, it is never quite as high in our ranking of London’s Top 40 most-mentioned destinations (and has taken a little more flak for “high prices” of late). “Tastefully decorated” – the fact that it’s “not pretentious, with just the right amount of friendliness from the staff” is key to its “pleasant” appeal, as, of course, is the “top-class food and wines”. Top Tip – a large outside terrace is a relatively recent addition.

Prince Charles was one of the first post-lockdown visitors to Adam Byatt’s “sophisticated and unhurried” Clapham HQ – a further hint that this “exceptional” venture in Clapham (complete with “tables outside on newly paved area”) is “so much more than a neighbourhood local” and “one of the best south of the river”. His “wonderfully inventive” (but not over-fussy) cooking, is served with notable “professionalism and charm”, alongside a “beautifully curated” and “fairly priced wine list”. “Tables outside on a newly paved area are fun” and add another dimension to a meal here.

Adam Byatt’s “classy” Clapham star is “at the top of its game” and there are only a few restaurants south of the river that give it a run for its money: “a trip always feels special, no matter what the occasion”. “Outstanding”, contemporary cuisine (from a three-course, or four-course menu) is at the heart of a “wonderful”, straightforward formula incorporating “service that’s always on point”, plus the “relaxing atmosphere” of a room whose “exterior view is much improved now the public WC has been demolished and the area landscaped!”. “Really good cocktails” and a “diverse and interesting wine list” complete the picture – look out for vintages marked ‘Chef’s Cellar’. See also Trinity Upstairs and Charlie’s at Browns.

"Tastes of perfection Visited today and had a sensational meal. Started with Gazpacho the best I have ever tasted? The 4 courses were sensational, more pronounced flavours than some we have had before, but perfectly pitched. Staff are delightful very engaged and perfectly organised and interested. The staff member who interacted with us explaining the menu was absolutely superb very funny and knowledgeable. I told him I didn’t want to waste any of the sauce on one course he said we have a room round the back to allow you to lick the bol! Very funny and superbly interactive, nothing stuffy at all about this great restaurant. A fantastic meal the sourdough buns the best I have ever eaten with amazing butter too. Clean toilets and amazing petit fours Ps only grouse, I don’t eat cooked cheese, slightly odd to serve parmesan crackers?"
