Clos Maggiore
London
Bewertungen
I’ve dined at Clos Maggiore at least twice a year for many years, and it has always been one of London’s most romantic restaurants. The food was beautifully presented, the flavours were outstanding, the ambience was magical, and the staff were impeccable. Sadly, the evening was overshadowed by guests treating the restaurant as an Instagram studio, with constant posing, flashing cameras and even climbing on chairs. I hope management considers introducing a respectful photography policy. After this experience, I’m genuinely unsure when I’ll be returning, which is disappointing after so many wonderful years.
The cloakroom attendant greeted us in a rather grumpy manner which didn't auger well. But we immediately forgot about her when the smiley and friendly Azil came to explain the menu. There is a set menu at £29 (with supplements) which includes a glass of bubbles and offers exceptional value. The rest of the service team, sommeliers, and managers were all wonderfully professional and friendly. The bread was good the starters were very nice apart from the cheese souffle which was rather stodgy inside. The cod was very good but the pork was a little sinewy. desserts were nice but to be picky the chocolate souffle was really a mousse - but delicious nevertheless. The petits fours were all home-made and excellent. The restaurant is cozy, it was quite cold to start but when I mentioned it, the lovely sommelier (I didn't catch her name) said she would increase the temperature - and did !! (a rarity in restaurants). She has over 2000 wines to look after so it was good of her to look after the aircon well. This is a really lovely restaurant and rightly deserves all the praise and success it gets.
Clos Maggiore is easily one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve visited in London. The moment I walked in, I was impressed by the stunning blossom-covered ceiling and warm lighting, which created a romantic and elegant atmosphere. If possible, request a table near the fireplace in the conservatory area for the full experience. I chose the tasting menu (£89) with the Champagne pairing, and every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. My favorite dish was the steak tartare, which was perfectly balanced and surprisingly approachable despite being served raw. The service was excellent throughout the evening. The staff and sommelier were attentive, knowledgeable, and provided great recommendations. Overall, a memorable dining experience with beautiful surroundings, excellent food, and outstanding service.
Five-star experience in every sense. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless - the food, the presentation, the atmosphere, and above all, the service. The dishes were exceptional: beautifully presented, thoughtfully crafted, and absolutely delicious. A huge, heartfelt shout-out to Giuseppe, who looked after myself and my mum as we celebrated her birthday. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care turned a wonderful meal into something truly magical. He went above and beyond to make the occasion unforgettable, and it meant the world to us. This is hospitality at its absolute best — we’ll be talking about it for a long time to come and cannot wait to return - TOP TIER!
We chose Cloggs Maggiore to celebrate my birthday 🎂 , (Thank You to the restaurant for the very kind celebratory 🍫 🎂 gesture 💗) and it was a lovely choice for the atmosphere alone. The space is filled with beautiful floral touches, giving it a romantic, elegant, and slightly whimsical vibe — perfect for a special occasion. 🌟🌹 I particularly enjoyed the starters and cocktails. The cocktails were not only delicious but also beautifully presented — the glassware was so innovative and eye-catching that it made the experience even more fun and memorable. 🌹🌟 My main course was good but not outstanding. The fish, while nicely flavoured, wasn’t as tender as I expected and was slightly chewy, which may simply not have been to my personal preference.😅 Overall, if you’re looking for a romantic dining experience with a gorgeous setting and great cocktails, this is definitely the place. A lovely spot for celebrations, dates, or anyone who appreciates ambiance as much as food 🌷🍸
