If romance is in the cards, one of London's most romantic restaurants is Covent Garden's Clos Maggiore. Echoing the stylish country inns of Provence and Tuscany, the warmly-muted décor, low lighting and welcoming log fire were clearly designed with love in mind. Seasonally-inspired, classic French cuisine coupled with impeccable service is the order of the day at Clos Maggiore, with a focus on chic presentation and bold flavours. Sample braised shoulder of rabbit with sweet and sour black radish and wholegrain mustard mousseline, or a flavoursome roast blackleg chicken with foie gras, petits pois a la francaise and smoked bacon cream. Wine buffs adore the list – it’s won an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine.
