Clos Maggiore offers a romantic escape with its enchanting flower-filled conservatory, impeccable service, and a menu that delights at every turn.
"When it comes to choosing a romantic restaurant, London has plenty to offer. Clos Maggiore, one of London's most romantic restaurants." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Bright and airy in summer and cosy in winter, Clos Maggiore is one of London’s most romantic restaurants; be sure to ask for a spot in the enchanting conservatory with its retractable roof. Seasonal, French-inspired dishes are joined by a wine list of considerable depth. The lunchtime and pre/post theatre menus are great value and are a hit with one and all." - Michelin Inspector
"You know how there’s always one house that goes all out with fake snow, inflatable snowmen, and enough flashing LED light bulbs to give you a headache? Clos Maggiore is London’s restaurant equivalent. Although there are wild rumours that it’s the city’s most romantic restaurant (if you’re easily seduced by white tablecloths, tweezer-plated French food, and flowers carpeting the ceiling), in December, it’s all about Big Bauble Energy. Think a collab between Cindy Lou of Whoville and the Chelsea Flower Show, with a light-up sleigh outside, and green foliage, twinkly baubles, and fairy lights inside. Plus, the roaring fireplace really has its moment. " - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver
"Clos Maggiore, a French spot in Covent Garden, is a hay fever sufferer's dream. There’s all the charm of a meadow of flowers, but none of the nose-streaming nightmare that accompanies a trip to the park post-June. Here, the faux flowers are draped from the ceiling of an airy conservatory, and creeping vines twist around columns. If you’re after a formal date night in a setting that feels like a collaboration between Nicholas Sparks and the Chelsea Flower Show, this is the place to do it. It’s the outdoors, if the outdoors was manicured within an inch of its life. " - Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna
"There are some wild rumours going around that Clos Maggiore is London’s most romantic restaurant, and if you’re easily seduced by white tablecloths and not being able to see the ceiling due to the meadow of flowers above your head, then you just might agree. A two-storey converted townhouse on Covent Garden’s Henrietta Street, everything from the red facade to the entirely epic 114-page wine list is giving Big Romance Energy. We can confirm that 90% of the clientele are here to flirt, get engaged by one of the roaring fireplaces, or apologise for something that warrants a triple-figure serving of tweezer-plated French food. Be warned that the atmosphere can feel a little serious and the suited-and-booted service will have you removing your elbows from the table quicker than you can say ‘do you want the fillet, darling?’. But if you’re after a formal date night in a setting that feels like a collaboration between Nicholas Sparks and the Chelsea Flower Show, this is the place to do it." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
