Best French Restaurants in Mill Hill

From the wonderfully winter-lit frontage, to the beautifully curated interior, in its very tastefully varied forms, you ask, can the food and service possibly hope to match this? Well, it most certainly does. Please don’t make the rash mistake I did, and worry the menu isn’t extensive enough. Also do not leave without at least looking at the huge bowl of chocolate mouse, and try to resist it when you do. Oh, and the duck and the onion soup, are off the clock. As are the dauphinois (starter AND side).

Dining at Core by Clare Smyth is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you step into the elegantly understated space, you’re welcomed by an atmosphere that perfectly balances sophistication and warmth. Every detail, from the attentive service to the inviting ambiance, is thoughtfully curated. The menu is a celebration of British ingredients, transformed into unforgettable dishes. Each course tells a story through layers of flavor and texture, blending tradition with innovation. Clare Smyth’s ability to elevate humble ingredients to something extraordinary is truly remarkable. What sets Core apart is how it makes every guest feel special. The staff’s genuine passion and attention to detail ensure a flawless experience from start to finish. Dining at Core by Clare Smyth isn’t just a meal—it’s an unforgettable event and, for me, the pinnacle of fine dining. Quite simply, it’s my favorite restaurant in the world!

Impeccable service and delicious food as always. We have been coming here for 12 years and the standard is always fantastic.

Had an excellent family meal for 10 of us with great ambiance and service. We were placed in a quieter part of the restaurant which is what we asked for and everyone really enjoyed their food. Thank you

Good experience apart from my meal which wasn’t good
