The Clove Club in Hackney

Not sure what was going on Slightly chaotic service Signature dish was ‘flavourless’ Shows how important the’chef patron ‘ is

As I celebrated my 60th birthday at The Clove Club in London, I found myself enveloped in an atmosphere of understated elegance, where the service was as refined as the dishes served. Nestled in the historic Shoreditch Town Hall, this restaurant has rightfully earned its place among the city's gastronomic elite with its innovative approach to British cuisine. The evening began with an amuse-bouche that set a playful yet sophisticated tone: The wine pairing, a suggestion from our knowledgeable sommelier, complemented and perfectly balanced the richness of each course. As I reflect on my 60th birthday at The Clove Club, it was not just a meal but a memorable gastronomic journey. The chefs' mastery in fusing traditional ingredients with modern techniques was evident in every bite, and the attentive, yet unobtrusive service made the evening all the more special. This experience wasn’t just about celebrating a milestone in years but was a toast to the art of fine dining itself. The Clove Club didn’t just host my birthday; it enriched it with flavors and memories that linger! A true gem in London’s culinary crown!

I had a pretty pour experience at the restaurant. Flavours where really bland to the point that we asked for some tabasco (in high end restaurant, seems crazy i know). We also make few other requests that were completely ignored. I also send an email asking for explanation and a refund and it was completely ignored for over 2 weeks (see screenshot). Extremely poor to completely ignore customer complaints for such an high end restaurant.

Great atmosphere and wines. Food was not bad given the standard, but fell short of our expectations. There was nothing exceptional that makes us want to go back or to recommend to others.

Lucky enough to be invited to join a couple of friends at this fabulous restaurant. I'm pescatarian; one friend was vegan and the other a omnivore. We each had individual menus of so many courses, I lost count. Plus appetizers to start and petit fours after two dessert courses. Oh my gosh, what an amazing tongue-tingling range of fresh tastes and textures. Each course was sublime. I think probably the langoustine was my favourite but it's hard to choose. But I don't think I've ever been so aware of so many individual flavours - who knew Cardoons would make a wonderful soup? I can't stop going on about it. The staff were lovely and both friends enjoyed theirs but I don't think the Vegan had ever been offered such incredible choice.

The food was amazing. Some of the most interesting dishes we’ve eaten. At least 5 courses were off menu and in addition to the listed tasting menu. We had more than enough food. Also one of the most expensive meals we’ve ever had but we knew that going into it. Would recommend the langoustine upgrade but we didn’t find the caviar addition did much to the soup it was added to. The fruit sorbet and habanero shaved ice was a bizarre and delicious second to last course. It was a 3.5 hour ordeal which is aggressive for my wife and I but we enjoyed it and are glad we did it.

I had the most amazing vegan tasting menu at The Clove Club. Wonderfully inventive use of spectacular ingredients, flavours and textures. There atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Superb!

Refined dining in an unpretentious setting. Incredibly inventive seasonal fare beautifully presented. Friendly and knowledgeable staff - well worth it!

Fantastic, exquisite cooking from Chef Isaac and team. Truly amazing! This was my second visit and it was even better than the first time. Now I have to go back again. What these guys are doing is incredible. Also, the service is impeccable. Special mention to our server, Michelle, as well as our sommelier Zach. And everything runs smoothly under the watchful eye of Paolo.

Really enjoyed a lunch tasting menu with our friends here. They had really good vegetarian options for one of our party. The atmosphere of the place is relaxed and it’s fun to see the chefs preparing the food nearby.

5/5 what an experience this was. The entire journey of this culinary course was insane. The staff were amazing. Zack in particular who was hilarious and extremely knowledgeable about the wines paired with each dish. The food was absolutely amazing and I’ve been to a lot of tasting menu restaurants and I’m officially putting this at the top

I was quite disappointed with the meal we had. As vegetarians, I thought they could have tried to incorporate other items into the menu. For a 6 course meal to primarily have just potato and truffle was highly disappointing. We’ve been to many restaurants like this and usually the food covers a wide range of items which I felt did not happen on this occasion.

An amazing experience! The food was incredible and the staff were so attentive and knowledgeable. They made us feel very special.

Nice vibe, excellent service and incredible food. Pretty much all meals were a hit.

Food was good, but atmosphere was uncomfortable and pretentious. Servers fake , not genuine. Didn’t even ask why we had not even touched one of our dishes. And given it’s £195 per person for the tasking menu, seemed a little rude not to ask at least.

I was not sure if to write this review as I don’t like putting places down unless they are really disappointing, and it is somewhat late, however having compared this to many other Michelin star restaurants/ those of a similar level, I did want to write the review as I was just so disappointed, both at the time and in hindsight. Overall I was hugely disappointed with this restaurant. The food was good, but nowhere near 2* level, not a patch on starred restaurants like Story, Frog, Sabor, A Wong or Evelyn’s Table or even those that are just below that level such as Angelina, Ikoyi (at the time I went) or Perilla. I think back to all these restaurants and can remember something memorable that’ll stick with me for years, yet at Clove it’s nothing, just average upon average. I also think the service was very strange. Yes they folded your napkin when you went to the bathroom, and topped up your water, but it was totally lacklustre - no energy, little excitement - and the guy serving us (think it was a bald middle-aged guy) had a strange demeanour - friendly but distant. The space was also unwelcoming. We went into the bar and loved it, but then we were seated on a strangely bare table in an enclave in the corner. It was cold and unwelcoming. I think the biggest kicker was the price. All the restaurants mentioned above were cheaper than this, yet this was the worse quality. I was really so disappointed as the bill was over £600. In conclusion, I was so excited to come here and I really wanted to love it - it had been on my list for years. I kept telling my partner it would get better, but it never did. I just cannot recommend Clove Club and cannot fathom how it is in all of these top restaurant lists. Please save your money and go to one of the places I have mentioned above.

Truly remarkable restaurant, from start to finish. Each course was fantastic — I couldn’t decide what I liked best — and appropriately small to allow for so many fantastic tastes. Dinner wasn’t rushed, but was also wonderfully paced, and the wine suggestion was spot on. My friend said it was the best meal she had ever had!

The food is okay, main dishes are nice, one of the dessert is good. Others are around the average.

I can't remember a place I've liked better than The Clove Club so let's say they're tied for first. Their menu always has a few creative dishes that will be unlike anything else, while also tasting better than anything else.

It's a nice to have your delicates

Had an enjoyable evening at the bar counter for single diner. It's great that the bartender is quite engaging; and I do appreciate that the servers spend a bit of time to slowly explain the dishes. The 2 wines recommended by the sommelier were wonderful; and the food portion is just right. Overall feeling of the place is positive.

What an experience. My husband surprised me for my milestone birthday. The food was incredible. We had the mixed wine and tea pairing which was a new and interesting experience. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was perfect. I had a really enjoyable evening and I would definitely recommend the Clove Club.

Decent service, below average food and real lack of effort.

This is an excellent restaurant, but two of the dishes were less inspiring than they sounded. The service was flawless. I’m surprised they have 2 Michelin stars, given that stars are awarded for many factors in addition to quality of cuisine. One thing that I found terrible was the odd bathroom, with its miserable sink.

This was truly one of the most memorable and delicious meals I've ever eaten. Every course was not only beautifully presented, but so unique in flavor profile and ingredients and just so yummy! The service was attentive and caring without being overbearing. The wine selections were perfect! We dined for more four hours! i cannot recommend Clove enough! It's worth the money.

Just wow! What an amazing dinner experience we had, truly loved it:) The food was just delicious and the service was very nice and kind of on your level compared to other Michelins star restaurants. It’s not a snobbish environment that you’re used to see in these types of restaurants. We went for the big tasting menu and took a bottle of Chablis. *The only note I would like to point out and a small detail I didn’t really “like” was the upselling. So you get a menu and then few dishes have additional charge to add truffles or caviar. Honestly when you get a tasting menu this isn’t something that should be there. And plus it’s awkward when you’re on a date to say okay I want this and that but not the latter. This is the only thing I’m pointing out because other than that it’s flawless.

**-Michelin restaurant that is well-deserved

Faultless. A seam of exquisite flavour, texture, and seasoning through the entire tasting menu. Crispy pork jowl good, smoked trout with flaked almonds better, potato mousse with truffle best. Great service and wine options

5 out of 5 stars. 100%. A+. I will forever sing praises of my experience here. The restaurant is not pretentious at all. It’s so minimalistic and is the epitome of quiet luxury. You might actually walk right past it because it’s so understated. As soon as you walk through the door, however, you are treated like a celebrity. You are ushered into a small room with a direct view of the open kitchen. You see the chef, the sous chef and the staff hustling quietly and in an organized fashion. We were seated at the front table and were maybe 3 meters away from the prep station. It was such an intimate dining experience. The staff were extremely professional. There were more staff than clients to make sure the diners had the best experience. The food was stellar, both in taste and presentation. The lobster and the pork were my standout favorites of the tasting menu, but to be honest, everything was delicious. It’s also not just what’s on the tasting menu because the kitchen staff add a few extra little bites in between the courses. Truly, it was such a special, unique experience and definitely worth it for a special occasion.

Ein gutes Restaurant. Alles war ausgezeichnet. Die Speisen waren von bester Qualität und geschmacklich sehr gut. Alle Gänge des 'Tasting Menüs' waren ganz wunderbar. Die korrespondierenden Weine waren top. Der Service war stets präsent, ohne aufdringlich zu sein, sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Excellent experience! The dishes were all great and the service outstanding (warm, personal and not too formal). Good atmosphere (a bit too cold though). Will be back!

We went to the Clove Club to celebrate our wedding anniversary. From beginning to when you leave the staff is great. From the dining room you have front row seats to the open kitchen that works like clockwork. All dishes were nicely balanced and taste is impeccable. There were some unexpected combinations which all worked great together. Some reviews mention price, but it’s in line with other 2 michelin star restaurants we’ve been to. Maybe not fir people who love classic solid food, but if you like pure ingredients and unexpected combos this restaurant should be on you your list.

Fabulous food and service, a wonderful experience, the sommelier was knowledgeable and lovely, the atmosphere was great and service wonderful and not at all stuffy

Truly specular meal. Went for lunch and had the short tasting menu bc I was pressed for time. Wonderful flavors and beautiful presentation. Didn't think I'd enjoy the habenero granita or warm potato mousse as much as I did. Really wish I was able to experience the full tasting menu. I guess that means I need to come back! The best meal of week-long trip in London.

What an amazing experience! Food is absolutely out of this world and the tea and wine pairing is an absolute must to complete the meal. Service is impeccable, attentive and very knowledgeable of the food and drink provided whilst holding great conversation and humour making them amazing hosts. This place doesn't come cheap however it is worth every last penny you spend. An absolute must for a once in a lifetime meal. Cannot thank the staff enough for such a fantastic evening, thank you.

Sept 27th, 2023 seating. Our experience at the Clove Club was outstanding. The exceptional and friendly service combined with the culinary artistry and wine pairing validated its inclusion on the "Top 50 List". 100%. I am not a vegetarian, but the Vegetarian Tasting Menu looked amazing, so I ordered it. It exceeded expectations. The courses presented layered and subtle flavors balanced with offerings that were complex and fresh and beautifully composed. From the Green Herb Broth to the Wild Mushroom with pomme puree and Habañero Granita–every course was absolutely tops. My husband ordered the non-vegetarian menu and was very happy, as well. The wine pairing was spot on and delicious (poured with just the right amount of information– you know what I mean if you have ever had a sommelier who was more interested in showcasing their knowledge than the guest experience :-|.) All in all, a perfect dining experience. Must mention: The Clove Club staff is the ultimate–welcoming and professional, not overbearing or stuffy, and able and willing to answer any and every question regarding the courses or wine. To fully enjoy, allow yourself plenty of time to be relaxed for the evening. I highly recommend the Clove Club for anyone who appreciates unique, artistic dining experiences that still feel like you are eating beautiful but real food! (and not simply precious arrangements...) Well worth the time and expense, even if it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Fantastic meal with excellent, highly attentive service.

Quite frankly, I walked out of the Clove Club feeling extremely queasy, with an unsettling suspicion that I had been scammed. I was extremely disappointed with this experience, despite having looked forward to it for many weeks. As a frequent traveler and food enthusiast, I am well accustomed to the standards and expectations of fine dining restaurants across the spectrum, and am flabbergasted that this establishment bamboozled reviewers into granting it two Michelin stars. Upon arrival, I was greeted extremely coldly by all staff. The building was bare bones and rustic—an aesthetic that works well in some no-frills restaurants, but in this case, fell flat. A sad dying green plant sat in the corner near my table, which seemed to set the tone for the next excruciating three hours. There was much confusion as to whether or not the restaurant carried bottled water, and the communication between servers was poor. I waited over 20 minutes to speak to a sommelier. Of note, after leaving my table, she fielded complaints from the adjacent table regarding the poor pacing and selection of the wine pairing. Once the service began, with a lackluster amuse bouche and extremely slowly arriving flavorless and uninspired dishes—I was itching to leave this culinary purgatory. The most horrifying moment of the meal was when a staff member placed a truffle on the table—described it and allowed me to smell it, before informing me that if I agreed to pay an additional 40 pounds—I would be granted the privilege of tasting it. I found this extraordinarily tacky. A sales pitch during a nearly $1,000 meal was previously unthinkable. The staff became increasingly cold after this failed attempted sale. Many times, fine dining restaurants live up to the hype generated within the circle of prestigious restaurant reviewers. This did NOT. I implore you to avoid this establishment and spend your dollars at the other magnificent restaurants in London.

Comfortable and attentive service without being cloying or overweening. Food that absolutely astonishes. Terrific atmosphere to share a several-hours food experience with someone you love or people you want to bond with.

Jheeeze. Ring the alarm. This is a seriously decadent day out. Went for the lunch menu - genuinely the best food I’ve had the pleasure of eating. Thoughtful, vibrant, and continually impressive, dish after dish. A proper treat, this. If you love your food, your wine, and your mates, get yourself down here for a bit of scran. Bring your nearest and dearest. Not cheap, but worth every penny!

Everything brilliant!! The only thing was that the menu, wine and ect. was without tax... that is the only bad thing because it wasn't written

Lækker, smukt anrettet og serveret mad, og ikke mindst super søde, behagelige og profesionelle tjenere🤩

A 2 michelin star dining experience well worth its position at the top of the world's 50 best list in the UK. 5 stars. We arrived and were seated to a central table in front of a window in the main dining room, with a handwritten card from the staff congratulating us on a special milestone. Staff were friendly and attentive, but relaxed throughout and made us feel at home. No dish from the fresh seafood leaning menu disappointed but the hot smoked Wiltshire trout with Oscietra caviar and Cornish sardine sashimi were my personal favourites. A lovely bottle of white burgundy (very reasonably priced for a 1er cru) recommended by the sommelier paired well with the course of the meal with champagne by the glass to start with the pre-menu snacks. I couldn't recommend The Clove Club more highly to anyone looking for a British fine dining experience second to none.

One of the best food + dining experiences I’ve ever had We did the tasting menu and wine pairing and I don’t think it’s a surprise for you to know if was unreal. The meal flowed seamlessly and the wine pairing was on point to compliment each meal Obviously a 2 Michelin star restaurant so you expect a high standard across the board. However, it’s the personal touches and general personality of the place/staff that took me by surprise anyway. We went there for our anniversary dinner and the Clove Club team really went the extra mile to make it a great occasion… hand written letters, special deserts etc. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a special occasion or just a generally amazing food and drink experience!

Amazing experience! Such a great team at The Clove Club. The food was delicious, the wine pairings were really fun and on point, and the service was super friendly and hospitable. We'll be back for sure.

Well deserved Michelin stars especially with a great venue, attentive service, superb food and an overall memorable experience. I enjoyed a lot of the seafood dishes, and appreciate the balance between exquisite ingredients and classics.

Dropped by for a long anticipated dinner - left full, impressed and very much anticipating a return trip!

Yeh absolutely different🫠 can’t recommend the cider though, it’s low key mid - food hit though

My second time here ! Lovely place . Service is good . Wine list is comprehensive . Food are great as usual !!!

Amazing place, this was our second meal there and it is absolutely flawless. Wine parings were some of the most impressive pairings I have ever had.

An unexpected billing ordeal and subsequent interactions with the management tarnished the Clove Club's culinary delights. The lack of transparent communication regarding potential additional costs and an unwillingness from the owner to address our concerns respectfully has greatly impacted our perspective on what was supposed to be a distinguished Michelin-starred experience.

While The Clove Club presented an enchanting culinary journey, our experience was overshadowed by a noticeable lack of transparency in billing. Our final bill far exceeded the expected amount based on the provided menu pricing, with no clear communication or justification for additional costs encountered during our meal. An amicable resolution post-dining was unfortunately not achieved, dampening our overall impression of this Michelin-starred establishment.

It was an amazing food experience!! The scallop dish was amazing! In general, all the dishes were an explosion of flavors!!The wines also excellent!!

Brilliant menu. Stunning service. Will savor that experience for a lifetime.

We booked this restaurant as it was voted one of the top restaurants in London and had two Michelin stars. They do tasting menus, a longer and shorter version. Open kitchen where you get to see the chefs at work. All was very calm in the kitchen! We started off with snacks and I expected a few as previous restaurants we had been to did. No there were about 6or 7! Food was very good with the mackerel sushi and trout course being the stand out dishes. We had some dishes adapted for us as we have a few dietary restrictions. Lovely service especially from the young Italian chap (sorry can’t remember your name but had an Ozzie tattoo!) The sommelier was very good and she explained all the wines in great detail. Small restaurant and would definitely book in advance.

Gran lugar para disfrutar. Cumplio con todas mis expectativas. En especial la atención del personal en donde debo destacar la atención de Daniel, quien nos pudo explicar varios de los platos en español y le trajo lápices y hojas para que nuestra hija se mantuviera entretenida y nosotros pudieramos seguir disfrutando. Sin duda merecen estar dentro de los top 50 a diferencia de otros restaurants en londres en donde no pudimos reservar por estar con nuestra hija de un año. Felicidades a todo el equipo. Saludos desde Chile.

Worth all of the hype (and money)

Took a mate here for his 40th bday. Was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. He got the wine pairing and I got the tea pairing (not something I have ever heard of before!). All really enjoyable and delicious. All the staff were excellent and the young sommelier was pretty hilarious. I gotta be honest tho this is the most I have ever spent on a meal in my life. It is deffo not cheap. The bill came to ~850 for 2. I really enjoyed it tho which is saying something. I plan to take my wife on a special occasion as well. Keep up the great work across the whole restaurant.

Background I first tried it when it opened in 2013. This is my second time around after a decade. It is a restaurant with Michelin-star status Ambience: The restaurant is elegant and sophisticated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The stylish decor, coupled with dim lighting, sets the stage for an intimate dining experience. I was told that the recently refurbished. Service: The service was nothing short of impeccable. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and professional, ensuring that every guest feels well taken care of. From the moment you step in, you are greeted with a warm welcome, and throughout the meal, the staff is prompt in their service, ensuring that your needs are met. Food: I feel that the non-vegetarian options are exceptional cos my dinner companion was pretty satisfied with the food, but the vegetarian degustation menu had its hits and misses. Some dishes stood out with their unique flavours and presentation, while others fell short of expectations. The vegetarian options could benefit from more consistency and refinement. Overall: It was a memorable dining experience with its elegant ambience, impeccable service, and innovative cuisine.

Amazing restaurant. Delicious food, great wine selection. Impeccable service. The attention to allergies and diet restrictions

The best restaurant experience I have ever had. I have been here for a 7 course (or more?) menu over one Friday afternoon. I will never forget the food choreography, the taste, the quality, the surprises, the sommelier and the warm hospitality the staff created. Always on my mind, Nils

Super as usual. Second time to this amazing restaurant and I will definitely make the 3rd!

Wow, wow, wow — simply spoiled from start to finish! Interesting tea and wine pairing, give it a try if it’s still on the menu. Pro-tip: the restaurant isn’t within the town hall building itself but next door in a building of its own. Expect to spend at least £300+ on the tasting menu with the welcome champagne, beverage pairing, coffee/tea.

Only had one night in London available for a long meal, so had to choose judiciously. The Eater Top 50 list has them ranked at #38 and the Michelin guide has them at 2 stars, so decided to try this place to celebrate a few family birthdays. Definitely worth the steep price tag. A month later, there are 2 dishes that stick in my mind. Early in the meal - the smoked trout dish. It was so delicate and flavorful. And later in the meal - the pork dish. The skin was perfectly crunchy, salty, and juicy. The fat layer was spiced to perfection. And the meat layer was juicy and tender. I've had a lot of good pork from a lot of good restaurants, but this was as close to perfection as you could get. The wine pairings were pretty spot on. Really enjoyed the Clemens Busch riesling.

Superlative in every way and deserving of its praise. Rare to experience such a brilliant degustation in a down-to-earth and relaxed setting. The staff are as good as the food - world class.

Every dish was a masterpiece, truly culinary Artist, Isaac McHale's food tastings menus are renowned for their harmonious flavors with meticulous attention to detail.

Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Each course was so well executed and thought out. The details were perfect. The service was above and beyond and the cocktails were fabulous. Really, really great time here! This was great for a vegetarian as the vegetarian tasting menu was perfect.

We were able to snag last-minute bar seats, and I am so glad we did! The staff was warm and welcoming, and chatted with us throughout. The individual dishes were thoughtful and delicate, some stood out more than others. We went for the wine-tea pairing...

Always a pleasure to be back and be taken great care by the team! The space is cosy, the service is excellent, and the food is hands down one of the most unique yet familiar I’ve experienced. It may be a little off the beaten path to head over the Shoreditch, but it is well worth the effort. A big shoutout to chef Rhys and his team for executing a smashing degustation menu, Keith for the wine pairing and extensive knowledge, and Paolo and his colleagues for a seamless and joyful service!

Along with ‘Extebarri’ in San Sebastián this is my most memorable dining experience (and I’m barely halfway through the meal!). The meticulous detail of both presentation and flavours with the courses is immaculate, the wine pairings perfect and it’s fantastic meeting Australian Head Chef compatriot Reece (apologies if incorrect spelling). Staff and service world class. Can’t wait to return for round two!

Serata londinese e perché no? Proviamo questo ristorante: due stelle Michelin e trentottesimo tra i 50 best restaurant of the...

Wow what can i say the food is michelin ⭐️ star the service is 5 star the rooms furnishing and facilities put exceed expectation and rival some of the top chain hotels 🏨 the staff extremely helpful and friendly 💯out of 💯👍

This was a present from our daughter. What a wonderful experience it was! Everything was a delight. The staff members are all lovely and full of information. I can’t recommend the Clove Club more highly.

Had a wonderful time here! The staff are really attentive and great to converse with. We were sat right at the front so you could see all that was going on in the kitchen which was amazing! It was nice to see the chef and...

En fantastisk mat+dryck upplevelse!

what a fantastic restaurant , the food and service do the talking for themselves. All dishes were explained and recommandations made. Our glasses were kept full all times. The food was amazing , expecially the greens were fresh and full of flavours. top notch, keep...

I am still flabbergasted at how poor the food and service at this place was this evening. There were three (of eight)dishes which were so poorly executed poorly we couldn't even finish them. We let the service personnel know but there was neither one word from the head of service (if there was one) nor a message from a kitchen if we would like another dish to compensate. It wasn't mentioned when the bill was delivered either. Shocking at this level. It undermined any confidence that was left innthe young inexperienced staff they seem to employ. Cooking is just at the competent level but you would expect a lot more from an establishment with these accolades. Nothing that made you sit up and go wow. Nothing memorable and this is the main reason that you try these places. How those 2 Michelin stars were earned I will never know. There is nothing serene about the set-up and the facilities are a shambles. I eat out a lot and I am willing to spend a fair bit on good food but we left this place feeling fleeced. See similar commentary from Arnaud Vdd from 2 months ago ( in French) Just find yourself an up and coming chef with a Bib Gourmand and save yourself a fortune

A memorable dinner! Definitely a must for a visit! Tried the “Tea Pairing” and it’s definitely the best one I’ve ever had❤️

Didn’t find it tasty for any of the dishes. Don’t get the reason for it to be 2 stars Michelin..

The menu offered a wide variety of options, catering to different dietary preferences. Loved every bite!

The sommelier was very knowledgeable. The tea pairing was a bit of a let down given that we opted for the half and half and the wine selection was exceptional. We tried the vegetarian menu (which I believe was being tested). The food was presented very well but the flavours were not up to the mark for a 2 michelin star on a few courses in comparison to other restaurants of a similar caliber.

We dined with our daughter and had a very long and pleasant evening! We enjoyed the tasting menu with the wine pairings. What especially stood out was the Green Herb Broth from the snacks and my favorite food was the Smoked Whitshire Trout! The wines...

We found the tasting menu to be rather dull and at times tasteless. The deserts were the restaurants saving grace, the butter and wine were quite good too. We did note a little spat between two of the chefs, so what lacked in taste was made up for in entertainment. A note to the management though, if you’re going to have an open kitchen make sure your staff put their hands over their mouths when they cough. We felt quite sorry for the couple who received a plate full of the chefs homemade seasoning!

What an amazing place!! The food is innovative, tasty and so well balanced. The service team is very professional and friendly, very impressive. Thank you Nick and team for looking after us. Highly Recommended!!

A must visit when in London, every course a banger! Sharp service and great wine/tea pairings - innovative and delicious cuisine - Clove club is the best!

The Clove Club is a Michelin-starred restaurant located in Shoreditch that offers a modern and creative take on British cuisine. The menu changes frequently to reflect what's in season, but you can always expect to find inventive and delicious dishes like cod with asparagus and beurre blanc, or lamb with black garlic and grilled lettuce. The atmosphere is elegant but relaxed, making it a great spot for a special occasion or a romantic dinner.

服务很温馨 环境稍微有点不透气 这里有我吃过最好吃的鲟鱼和苹果挞

Almlst 4.5 for me. Almost everything tastes good, but I had higher expectations because of all the ratings and recommendations. And the greasy smell toward the middle of the experience is really distracting.. Sicilian Blood Orange & Fennel Soda is citrusy and subtly sweet. It tastes better when the gas is still there. The green chicken soup that looks like matcha is a light and appetizing start. The cold sourdough, however, is a let down. Snacks: The smoked ricotta bite tastes really good, crispy, melting, gooey, and warm. The classic buttermilk fried chicken is fantastic. Covered in crunchy batter and dill salt, the chicken is very juicy. Beetroot apple gazpacho is less memorable. Smoked trout with almond brown butter, buttermilk. Love the brown butter and toasted almond. The trout doesn’t taste smoked but is tender and juicy. The caviar from Paris is mellow and melts in mouth. + Sparrow’s tongue (smells sweet and aromatic taste refreshing). The monkfish is perfectly cooked, plump and slightly springy, not dried out at all. The texture resembles seared scallop. The crispy fish skin and whelp add layers to the texture. + Yame Genmai 八女玄米茶 (toasted rice). The slow roast lamb is probably the rawest lamb cutlet I’ve head. It is easy to cut and eat nonetheless. The skin is crispy. The warm Italian sauce of anchovy and garlic tastes very nice.+ oolong pipacha 烏龍枇杷茶 (beautiful floral notes). Grilled HABANERO Granita is quite a nice surprise. The chili-flavored ice is really interesting. The plum sorbet is tastes more like Chinese dark plum than the regular plum fruit here and is very refreshing. The sheep’s milk yoghurt is creamy. Its unique flavor helps to bring the spiciness and fruitiness together. Regular cow milk yoghurt won’t be able to do this. (☆_☆) Apple tarte tartin has a just right amount of sweetness, though I’d prefer the crust to be less soggy and more crunchy. Enjoyed watching it being cut with a scissor. It was a little difficult to eat only with a spoon and a folk though. A knife would be really helpful. The solid dollop of crème m is too heavy for me. An ice cream or gelato or something even lighter would be more fitting. + white poeny tea The finishing small bites are alright. Not too sweet or heavy, but not quite special either. One citrusy, one with chili, one with some alcohol taste. We all liked the macaron-sized mini celebration chocolate mousse cake. (P.s. would appreciate some more vegetables in the menu for a balanced diet :) Tea pairing is an interesting idea. The value is debatable. The service is considerate, friendly and attentive, offering many surprises for my friends’ special occasion. The environment is a bit noisy so some part of the food intro is missed. From around 8:30 pm, a strong smell of oil cooked in high temperature comes out from the open kitchen from time to time. As some reviews noted, the ventilation should be improved. I am also worried about the staff’s health.

느린 것 같지만 지속적으로 발전하는 공간, 자극적이기 보단 은은하게 오랫동안 남는 기운이 기분을 좋게 하는 공간입니다

Definitely one of the best in London fine dining. Although the restaurant is located in an older building, it contributed to its uniquely idyllic and appealing character. It has surpassed all our expectations, each course tasted amazingly good and excellent service complete our dining experience....

Great atmosphere.. 10 put 10 for the food

Good food but the service was a bit slow

J’adore les restaurants étoiles et ce fut ma plus grande deception culinaire. 500€ pour un dîner sans alcool et aucun plat qui faisait vibrer. On se retrouve dans un niveau de “bonne brasserie”. La responsable de la salle était vraiment désagréable, elle tirait la tête devant les clients. Je déconseille fortement ce restaurant

Oh boy, where do I even begin? I'm not exactly what you'd call a food connoisseur, but let me tell you, this restaurant was an out-of-this-world experience! I swear, my taste buds are still dancing a jig. Let's start with the tea pairing. I mean, who would have thought that tea could be paired so perfectly with food? It was like a symphony in my mouth, every bite and sip complementing each other like they were long-lost soulmates. Now let's get to the food itself. I'm telling you, those scallops were as soft as a cloud. I was half-convinced that they were made out of angel feathers or something. And the trout? Mind. Blown. But the veal...oh, the veal. This is the first time I've experienced quality like that. It was like the cows were being massaged and serenaded with Mozart all their lives before being turned into delicious, succulent meat. Hats off to the chef for making me feel guilty for ever eating any other kind of meat. And let's not forget about dessert! The plum cake was like a party in my mouth. I don't even have words for how amazing it was. It was like the chef had captured the essence of a perfect autumn day and put it into a cake. All in all, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit for anyone who wants to have their taste buds blown away. If you're not a foodie, this place will make you one. And if you are a foodie, you'll feel like you've died and gone to food heaven. Trust me, you won't regret it.

ブルーを基調にしたスタイリッシュなブリティッシュレストランです。デートにオススメ。光の当たり加減で料理の色が実際と異なるものもありますが、いずれも綺麗に盛り付けられており、感動的でした。pairingで出てきた白ワインはいずれもスモーキーだったり癖があったので、もしシンプルな白ワインが好みの人は自分でボトルを指名した方が良いかとしれません。またサービスもとても丁寧で、非英語圏の私達にも分かり易い英語をゆっくり話して下さり、レベルの高い接客に満足されると思います。 いずれにせよ、とても特別な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。有難う御座います！

What sets apart restaurants like The Clove Club isn't the food, although that is sumptuous., but the service and the ambience. And honestly, frankly, the Clubs is second to none. The personal nature of their greeting, the way they left a card for my wife (it was her birthday), the cocktail recommendations, the chat with the sommelier, all of it was perfect. No matter the Michelin Star, of which the club has plenty, this was an experience without compare. Brilliant.

Menu was well crafted, flavours worked well but not much that really excites the palate like some of its other 2 Michelin starred peers. Their signature scallop dish was very cohesive but underwhelming for a “signature dish” in both presentation and complexity of flavour. Ambiance was great, but a server spilled sauce on our table which seemed rather amateurish for a 2 star. Overall, good food and wine list but there are better options out there.

Handwerklich top, Produktauswahl ist hervorragend. locally/regionally sourced sehr gut. Der Aperitif Cocktail verzückte und bot einen guten Einstieg in den...

Great dining experience. Very well paced, all the dishes tasted excellent and were beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed with the sommelier, who recommended a great half bottle ( I was dining alone). Definitely deserves the hype.
