"A former bank in the heart of busy St James’s provides a wonderfully bright and airy setting for this elegant restaurant with a distinctly Mediterranean slant. A large bar-counter provides a focal point for the room and presents the opportunity to sit in front of the semi-open kitchen and engage with the charming team, who are happy to chat and recommend dishes. The menu features Med-inspired options such as delicious short rib tortellini, alongside a host of influences stretching from North Africa into Asia – such as the yellowtail sashimi with freekeh tabbouleh." - Michelin Inspector

Claro - Review - London - The Infatuation

"Another single word name and another not-yet-released menu. Claro is in the 'keep 'em guessing' category of new openings. But what we do know is that this spot started out in Tel Aviv and this St James’s location marks their big move to the UK. The dining room looks impressive, all lofty ceilings, exposed brick walls, and sweeping chequerboard floors. The food has been described as Mediterranean with Middle Eastern influences. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

We were looking for a good (non touristic) place for dinner near Piccadilly and stumbled across Claro, and are so glad we did! Every dish we had here was incredible. We especially loved the bread platter and Brussels sprout starters. A wonderful new addition to London!

The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home. Our food arrived quickly, with beautiful presentation, and each dish was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were outstanding, and the desserts were the perfect finishing touch. We can’t wait to come back!

🌟 An Incredible Dining Experience! 🌟 Claro London is a true delight! The pork rib was phenomenal – easily one of the best main courses I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, with unforgettable flavors. The view was stunning and the service was flawless. This restaurant is a must-visit in London, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommended! 👏

Fantastic dinner at Claro. Lovely dining room, delicious food. Bit pricey but probably what you expect in this location. Wine list good but again basic bottles are around £50. But food is real star here, especially the breads and dips, sashimi, vegetable plates and the sharing platter of lamb. Highly recommend but make sure your bank account is ready!

We had the pleasure of visiting Claro London during their opening weekend, and the experience was absolutely incredible. Having dined at their Tel Aviv location, we knew the farm-to-table concept would carry over, and it certainly did. The quality and freshness of the ingredients were evident in every dish. One of the standout dishes was the lamb platter, which was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented alongside fresh vegetables and sauces. The short rib tortellini and the whole plaice fish were also remarkable, with the latter cooked to perfection and paired with seasonal greens. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a chic yet comfortable feel that complements the food. The service is still evolving, as expected for a new opening, but the staff was friendly and eager to assist. We were lucky enough to meet the chefs behind the menu, which added a special touch to our experience. The passion they have for their craft is undeniable. As cocktail enthusiasts, we were delighted with the bar manager’s expertise. The cocktails were not only delicious but also showcased an impressive selection of spirits, particularly tequila, which happens to be our favorite. Each drink was crafted with care, and we thoroughly enjoyed the balance of flavors. Having tried nearly 90% of the menu, we were impressed and excited to come back. Claro London has already made its mark on the dining scene, and we look forward to sending more foodies in their direction. The prices reflect the portion sizes and the overall execution, making it a fantastic dining experience worth revisiting.

Had such a great experience here! The food was amazing, and the service made it even better. Our waiter, Ouail, was super friendly and welcoming from the start. He gave us a great table with a lovely view of Big Ben and took the time to chat with us while also making sure we had everything we needed. We tried a bunch of dishes, and his recommendations were spot on. The Venison tartare with pickled apples, Caesar sauce, and fried Frena bread was definitely a favorite, and the Fried Brussels sprouts with caper aioli were insanely good. We also had the Grilled octopus with smoked paprika and salsa verde, which was another great choice. For dessert, we went with the pudding and apples—so good! Ouail checked in on us throughout the meal, kept the table tidy, and made sure we were enjoying everything without ever being intrusive. The whole experience felt really relaxed and enjoyable. Great food, great atmosphere, and fantastic service. Will definitely be back!

Superb experience and food. Very happy to see one of my most favourite restaurants in the world open in London. Well done to Chef Ran Shmueli (who we very much appreciate for coming to greet us) and the lovely team who have made amazing recommendations and provided excellent service. I have no doubt that Claro will become one of the best restaurants in London. Took off a star for the price tho, it's quite expensive

Claro is a hidden gem in London! The food is exceptional, with a menu that perfectly balances creativity and flavour. The ambiance is relaxed yet elegant, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and the attention to detail is evident. Fantastic bar and cocktails. Great location too! Good value for money for 5* quality and service. We recently visited for a friends birthday - I'd highly recommend for a memorable dining experience. 10/10
