    Truly the best restaurant in Surrey. Focaccia and Panelle were outstanding, coupled with a sublime olive oil. Appetizers were equally good: fresh fish, and carpaccio. Pastas were incredible and this is the only place where I was able to find ‘Bottarga’ in Surrey. Wine is like the perfect gem for such a meal. Staff is also outstanding - delighted to pay the service charge (which doesn’t happen often!) Recommended!

    Fantastic food and service. The food was presented well and the quality of the food was superb. We went with a large party and the experience was highly rated by everyone. This is our second time eating at Clava, and we would definitely visit again.

    What do you really want from a restaurant? Maybe a warm welcome, comfortable and stylish atmosphere, attentive service, talented chef, knowledgeable sommelier, clean toilets? Sounds easy but so often I’m disappointed by places that can’t deliver these basic elements. Clava, in West Byfleet, opened a couple of years ago by Chef Valentino, does all of this with effortless competence. It becomes self-evident when you’re eating food that takes years of training and practice, days of preparation and moments of brilliance to deliver. It doesn’t want or need Michelin praise, it’s so good. I hesitate to share this because I want to be able to get a table before word gets out. Try it while you can.
