Awarded 3 AA Rosettes, Clos Maggiore – Covent Garden offers inspired, creative French dining. A luxurious, intimate dining room is offset by the stylish conservatory, with a fully retractable roof for al fresco dining.

In an oasis of calm in Covent Garden, Clos Maggiore restaurant takes inspiration from the chic country inns of Provence. The sophisticated Clos Maggiore menu offers chargrilled scallops with seaweed tartare to start, and flavoursome mains of honey-glazed duck breast with roasted red plums, or succulent, corn-fed chicken with potato, bacon and cheese gratin.

Following a trend of decadence, Clos Maggiore’s dessert menu offers indulgent treats. A sweet, strawberry gariguette with pistachio mousse is a firm favourite, along with the vanilla and praline vacherin with butterscotch sauce.

In the heart of Theatreland in London, Covent Garden’s Clos Maggiore offers a stylish, plush setting, and is nestled just 3 minutes’ walk from Covent Garden Tube Station.

                                            My friend and I visited Clos Maggiore (for the second time) to celebrate our joint birthdays. We chose the tasting menu which provided a delicious journey through the the chef's favorite dishes. Extremely good value, and every dish was delightful. The service was also very good, attentive and friendly, but staying professional. We ate upstairs - which suited us as the downstairs courtyard was full and quite noisy. Recommended it immediately to my sister for her anniversary dinner. Lovely.

                                                  We were booked for 5.30pm and arrived probably first in the restaurant. We were seated in the corner near the bar/service point, which was busy and not at all romantic. When we commented later in the meal the delightful waitress told us about the Conservatory, which we viewed at the end of the meal. That would have been a completely different experience and we were disappointed not to have been offered that. We were told that we should have asked for that location, but as we didn't know, we were not offered it. What a disappointment! We take away less than romantic memories, even although the food and wine were good.

                                                              My partner and I went on a Sunday evening to celebrate his birthday. The food was very well presented and tasted fantastic. The wine list is more of a book, and you'll find any wine you like.
