I recently had the pleasure of dining at Claro, in one of the most picturesque areas of London, and I couldn't resist returning for a second time. The restaurant is beautifully situated among the city's finest architecture, and during this festive season, it’s even more enchanting with the twinkling Christmas lights adorning the surroundings. The menu is a fantastic showcase of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, featuring a variety of dishes that cater to all tastes. I highly recommend trying the hispi cabbage; it was simply outstanding! The flavours were vibrant and well-balanced, making it a standout dish that I couldn't stop raving about. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return for a third time!

I managed to get a booking on my way in. The venue is lovely, staff were friendly, service was great and our waitress was very pleasant. Only feedback I have is the over use of phones where people are constantly taking selfie which is offputtinh but that is no reflection on the venue or staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our brunch.
