2. Clarke’s British, Modern restaurant in Kensington 124 Kensington Church Street - W8

“Sally has triumphed in maintaining stands and a smile across the decades” and the “super-civilised institution” she opened in 1984, south of Notting Hill Gate, has shown rare staying power. That “there is always a really warm welcome” from the “effective and nurturing” staff goes down well, as does the way she has “maintained excellence with the finest seasonal produce perfectly cooked” (inspired by Alice Waters of Chez Panisse in California, her friend and mentor since the late 1970s). “Simple but elegant decor” and a strong wine list focused on North America complete a picture which still inspires practically zero criticism.

3. Belvedere Mediterranean restaurant in Holland Park off Abbotsbury Rd in Holland Park - W8

This gorgeous, seventeenth-century former aristocrats’ ballroom has a stunning location – actually within Holland Park – but has defied various previous attempts to create a successful restaurant. And, two years on, it remains unclear whether George Bukhov-Weinstein and Ilya Demichev – the duo behind Goodman, Burger & Lobster and Wild Tavern – have done better, despite their lavish revamp. Even one reporter “very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food” thought it “pricey”. More common are those who find it “mediocre in every respect, apart from the beautiful setting” or say it’s “just toooo expensive”.

4. Pascor Mediterranean restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea 221 Kensington High Street - W8

“Terrific posh Levantine food with a twist” is the story of this Kensington High Street three-year-old, whose kitchen is run by former Palomar head chef Tomar Amedi. The menu can seem “confusing” to first-timers (“what’s a starter? a main? a side? did we order enough?”) but the small plates are “interesting and all very tasty”.
