Impressing Gordon Ramsay is something of a Herculean task (his reality cooking series isn\u2019t called \u201cHell\u2019s Kitchen\u201d for nothing). Miraculously, it\u2019s a task that Chef Clare Smyth has ticked off her list, having spent 11 years as\u00a0the formidable chef\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9e. It\u2019s only natural, then, that someone of Smyth\u2019s calibre would dream of something even bigger than being chef-patron at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. That dream has now been realized in the form of her very own restaurant: Core by Clare Smyth.<\/p>\n

For Smyth, Core by Clare Smyth has been a long time coming. Since beginning her tenure as head chef at Ramsay\u2019s London flagship in 2007, she had tirelessly maintained all three of her\u00a0Michelin stars \u2014 a\u00a0first for a\u00a0female British chef. Smyth was also royally recognized for her talents\u00a0when she was an awarded\u00a0an MBE by the Queen in 2013.<\/p>\n

Following her departure from Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in late 2015, Smyth announced her plans to open her debut solo restaurant. Her highly anticipated restaurant \u2014 initially slated to launch in 2016 \u2014 finally opened its doors to the charming district of London\u2019s Notting Hill on August 1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For all the buzz it has been causing, London\u2019s hottest new restaurant is surprisingly simple and relaxed in appearance.\u00a0Core by Clare Smyth\u2019s modern d\u00e9cor\u00a0starkly contrasts with\u00a0the historic Victorian building it is housed in, creating an elegant \u2014 and undeniably British \u2014 atmosphere. A natural colour palette of green, aubergine, milk, copper and burnished gold reflects\u00a0Smyth\u2019s\u00a0emphasis on sustainable British\u00a0produce; the restaurant serves fresh\u00a0scallops from the Isle of Mull in Scotland, Colchester crabs and shrimps caught in England\u2019s Morecambe Bay.<\/p>\n

From a\u00a0selection of 10 to 12 evolving dishes crafted by\u00a0the meticulous Smyth, guests are given\u00a0a choice of a three-course (\u00a365), five-course (\u00a380) or full tasting menu (\u00a395). There\u2019s also an equally impressive wine list: over 400 fine wines and champagnes, most of which are from Burgundy, Bordeaux, Northern Italy and California.<\/p>\n

Besides the 54-seat restaurant (which has already been booked through October), Core by Clare Smyth features an 18-seater cocktail bar that serves\u00a0both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. Until an opportunity to\u00a0fully immerse in the fine dining experience offered by one of the world\u2019s most distinguished chefs\u00a0presents itself, the bar will have to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
