Clarke's Restaurant

Clarke's at 124 Kensington Church Street in Kensington W8 is Sally Clarke's restaurant, which she opened in 1984 after training with Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. The influence of Alice Waters' philosophy — seasonal, locally sourced, simply cooked food driven by the best possible ingredients — shaped British cooking as profoundly as any single restaurant. Clarke's was one of the first London restaurants to change its menu daily based on what was best at the market. Hardens has praised it consistently for 40 years. The bakery attached to Clarke's produces some of the finest bread in London. Kensington Church Street is one of London's great antiques dealer streets.
