Restaurant Review… Fera at Claridge’s (London, UK)

First of all, I always wanted to try Fera since I was made known of this place. Through its website, I have gotten a sense of simplicity and freshness from both the dishes, and the restaurant design. It is closely resembled what the restaurant is aiming for, “… the constant changing of the seasons,…”.  (Feraatclaridges, 2015)

Atmosphere: 5*
The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is a mixture of both luxury and sophistication. Although the tunnel like entrance it’s something I practically agree with for the restaurant. I love the design of the restaurant, which uses neutral colors and elements. Not overdone with patterns or too plain, but just enough of the two. Not like other restaurant with the same class, being at Fera, I don’t feel I need to act in such a proper fashion, where I couldn’t even enjoy my dinner. Of course, a basic mannerism for fine dining will be appropriate.

Service: 4.5*
Having to book online through their main website, my booking was not found in their system. This means that I arrived without a booking, luckily there were enough tables for walk-ins. They handle this situation appropriately without making my guess and I feel awkward. All the staffs were very friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Throughout the night, they have achieved all a fine dining, Michelin-starred leveled restaurant should do. Such as serving the ladies first, and explaining what each dish is. Getting toward the end of the night, small issues become more apparent. The staffs seem to be more engaged in cleaning up than to serve the remaining few tables. Creating small flaw of forgetting to bring what was asked. Overall, I am still very impressed with the services Fera offered. 

Food: 5*
Fera offers modern British cuisine with a creative and natural take on it. The taste is amazing, with each dishes bringing something different to my taste buds. Apart from what we have ordered, there were various small dishes offered for us to try throughout the three-course dinner. Each dish has its own artistic presentation that highlights the natural and creative means the chef is expressing. Something I always look at is how hot each dish is, (with exception of dishes that are meant to be cold), and the plates as well. I am happy to say that Fera covers this area very well.

Overall, I am very stratified with Fera, it lives up to the standard of a Michelin-starred restaurant. Although there were minor mistakes, but it is very common and expectable. If you are ever in London, this is a must try restaurant! 


Total average stars for Fera at Claridge’s are (4.8*).
