Clarette — Restaurant in London

We stopped by after hearing good things about Clarette, but the experience could not have been worse. The French onion soup we ordered had maybe 3-4 bites worth of lukewarm soup, to the point where we thought it was a joke at first, or they ran out and could only give us a 1/3 portion.

The server said the beef steak was sold out right when we entered, and we enthusiastically ordered the venison (the alternative). When the entree came out, it was absolutely a normal beef steak. This was confirmed by the table next to us that ordered venison—a thick slab of venison looks and tastes very obviously different than a sirloin complete with a fat cap. It was a bit dry but not terrible, but it is wild that they would tell us a different entree than what came out. The ox bourignon had flavor, but it was extremely salty and by the end, inedible.

The service was fine albeit extremely delayed at the beginning, and we just found the incorrect entree and the fact they forgot our wines for 30 minutes was absolutely inexcusable. I truly feel robbed...

If I could, I'd give 6 stars. Food was amazing, along with the cocktails. The service was excellent, not to mention very attentive and helpful. I could recommend everything we ate (which was alot mind you), and you could tell everything was exquisitely designed. Everything was delicious, but nothing tasted the same, which is difficult to pull off. There is a lot of work that goes into each food item and you can tell the level of craftsmanship that goes into everything. The restaurant itself is very unique and interesting to look at, and I especially enjoy the historic tutor building plus the unique interior. If you can manage, try and get the little nook on the second floor, nice little spot for a group under 6 if its available. The Sour Paradis was very good 👌👌 as a cocktail. All in all an excellent place for a...

We were fortunate to visit Clarette during one of the sunniest days in London. We were sitted outside in a table for six.

Staff were very kind, helpful, knowledgeable on the dishes and of course willing to suggest specific options.

Food choices are quite limited but there are more than enough to choose and share. We tasted the fried squid which was delicious, croquetes of pulled pork, scallops (not their best dish) and bream cevice.

We were sitted outside but the main area inside is lovely and same goes for the bar.

Prices were quite high vs the food portion but it is understandable given the Marylebone area. Though, wine prices we have to admit were very high. We paid 27£ for half a bottle of white wine.

Overall, I would...
