Best Modern European Restaurants in Clemton Park

We came here for our anniversary and it was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Le Salle is a small venue that cannot be easily spotted from the street. It is beautifully designed and has maybe 10 tables in total; when we were there, we were the only patrons which made for an intimate dining experience. The lighting is dark and the vibe is very relaxed. The service was perfect - super personable, easy to chat with, happy to explain their food preparation processes, but also giving you privacy and space to enjoy your company. The restaurant is reservation-only which can only be cancelled more than 3 days in advance. This makes sense since the chef goes to the market every 2 days, guaranteeing fresh finds . The set menu is then designed accordingly. We had the 5-course tasting menu. The food was of incredible quality, so delicious and so thoughtfully prepared - each dish was better than the last. The Jurassic quail with burnt orange/foie gras sauce was unlike anything I ever had before. The blue fin tuna and scallops with morels and Iberian ham were amazing, and the honey brioche bread to mop up the sauces was delightful. The sous-vide and seared lamb melted in your mouth and has truly ruined all my future lamb dishes. We paired our meal with an excellent bottle of Chardonnay that was recommended to us from their impressive inventory (I wish I noted the exact bottle!!!). All in all, the perfect restaurant to celebrate special occasions and such a hidden gem. I cannot recommend enough!

As always, the food was exceptional, the ambiance was on point, and the staff were professional. Consistently a great experience, always a pleasure to visit Sofia's. A true neighbourhood gem :)

Excellent, as always! The food is delicious and the value for money is amazing.

Great experience!! Amazing food and drinks with quick and friendly service. Very much worth it for the bottomless package we all had a fab time! :)
