Why we like it
You're paying for Michelin-three credentials without the usual London fine-dining theatre — Clare Smyth's cooking is precise without being precious. The lunch option is genuinely good value for three stars; dinner costs less than many two-star restaurants charge. The potato dish is worth mentioning because restaurants rarely get vegetable-focused courses this right. Book well ahead, though: 2–3 months isn't a suggestion.
