The Clove Club in Hackney

Small restaurant with open kitchen at one end. Fish tasting menu super precice.. Staff very professional and engaging. Great for special occasions.

This has got to be the best fancy restaurant in the UK. The flavours are familiar yet presented in a very new way. The service is impeccable. And the main dining hall feels like dining at a very well run home. You can see the chefs prepare fresh high quality food in front of you. The wine list is extensive. The Clove Club is worth every penny and the wait to get a table. It's a special experience but also shows the way to how top end restaurants should be run.

Saw clove club on the 50 best restaurant list, so really had high expectation. Overall it was good but falls a bit short of my expectation. While every thing is good, nothing is mind blowingly great that I must have again. I had the tasting menu and my favorites are probably the fish dish , the foie gras, and I thought the raw scallop was interesting. Not sure if it was only today but the food came out quite slow for me today. So it’s a 3.5-4 stars for me especially considering the price

Plenty of unusual but pleasant new flavours: raw scallops and vegetable broth dishes from the full tasting menu were my favourites (fried chicken and taco were unnecessary to be honest — sorry chef!). And a really good selection of wines by the glass: from South African to Polish.Dining room is overlooking the kitchen and doesn't feel too formal. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Just a 10-minute walk from Shoreditch High Street.

Had the full tasting menu with the wine pairing - every bite was a flavour bomb. So well done. One of the best, if not the best tasting menu I’ve had in London. Was for a celebration and they did not disappoint. Service was attentive but not overly so. Relaxed ambience for a Michelin starred restaurant, not stuffy.

Amazing tasting menu! They catered for my dietary requirements perfectly! All photos are my gluten / dairy / egg free options! They even had warm gluten free bread that is the best I’ve ever had! ✨

Excellent experience in the restaurant and the meal. Require advance booking (I booked a month ahead) to get a table. There is a comprehensive wine list, and we ordered the degustation menu. The starters and desserts after were delicious. Worth a return visit !

Recently (2021) awarded #32 best restaurant in the world.Food is great and very fish heavy. Interesting and unique.Service is fine. Some staff need to learn to project when describing the plate.We were sitting in the same room as the chefs, which is cool. Unfortunately, at the end of the night they clean the grill which sends up a thick smell throughout the place.They have a wine pairing, a non-alcoholic drink pairing, and a mixed pairing which switches between the two.£300-500/person

Excellent. Had the smaller tasting menu for lunch as was a bit pushed for time but still spent more than two hours there! The food was delicious. Nicely seasoned and perfectly presented. Excellent service. Highly recommended!

The Clove Club is not only a 1-Star Michelin but also one of the best 50 restaurants which has the best ranking among all candidates in London. Therefore, we made a reservation via their website before our trip to London.Chef Issac Mchale was trained at Noma and EMP, which are two of the most famous fine dining restaurants in the world. He focuses on the re-interpretation of modern British with simple & natural flavors by using fresh local ingredients.The decor is classy and elegant with arsty design & plants. The open kitchen is amazing and it was enjoyable to watch the chefs prepare & cook.We had their Lunch Menu (£65) for myself and Short Tasting Menu (£95) for my husband. It's was a decent and solid experience with little surprise, especially their entrees, which were delicious & satisfying but that was it.Our favorites and what impressed us the most were their delicate & beautiful small bites from the beginning ‘til the end. The variety & creativity of these finger food was one of the best we have ever had in our Michelin journey in London.There was still room for improvement for their service in our opinions. The waiters were really friendly and helpful but we could feel they were not familiar with what they served and not detailed with diet restrictions.
