Carte • Wine • French • Dining • Desserts

"First class. Food and service were superb. Truly accomplished and delicious dishes. My friend, who doesn’t really care much for food, declared the honey parfait dessert to be the best thing he’d ever eaten. I had the rhubarb soufflé, the presentation of which is hilariously risqué! The rack of Dover sole was exquisite. Lots of little treats too. The sommelier was really good even though we weren’t splashing out on wine on this occasion. Her dirty dry martinis were excellent. Overall, a five-star experience. Ambience-wise, it was a bit quiet on Saturday lunch; and it is undeniably expensive. No doubt a causal connection between those two minor quibbles. However, we both agreed that it was worth it and have spent comparable sums (or more) elsewhere for far less. The team behind this restaurant are at the top of their game: they appear to love what they do; and pull out the stops to give their guests a wonderful time. The staff were attentive and kind but not intrusive. Consummate professionals."

"I had a lovely experience at this restaurant and the food was delicious! It was my first time trying Persian cuisine and I found it to be very refined and mild, yet still full of flavor. The staff even brought out a cake when they heard it was my birthday. I would definitely return to this restaurant!"

"visited this place for a special occasion and was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. the service was friendly, timely and simply had a really domestic feeling. had a bark taco, which tasted beautiful, a great choice of aromen. the garnels also tasted great, loved the crumbsal. I had fish for the net that tasted fresh, which surprised me. the dessert also had a beautiful contrasting taste of aromen. really creative meals combined with a beautiful service and cozy environment makes for a pleasant experience. personally, I feel that due to the pricing, this is a special opportunity type of place, but I certainly cannot complain about the quality of eating. highly recommended."

"Amazing experience which went beyond the delicious food. The setting and building is beautiful, the staff friendly and efficient, and of course there is the delicious and authentic Polish food. We dined out on the terrace with tablecloths and candles. The inside was beautiful too though! It reminded me of upscale authentic restaurants in Warsaw. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommend the herring, steak tartare, and pancakes with duck livers. The desserts were delicious too!"

"We stumbled upon this restaurant without prior knowledge, making it a blind booking. However, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The restaurant was a favorite among locals. The service was extremely attentive and personalized, and Toni, the owner, was charming. The food was exceptional, and despite being full, I couldn't resist trying one of their desserts. It was truly first-class, and we highly recommend it. On our next visit to London, we will definitely return to Clapham so we can dine at Toni's Amalfi once again."
