Food
Set inside the former Shoreditch Town Hall, The Clove Club pairs a striking room with a kitchen that reviewers repeatedly call precise and relaxed at once — food that's technically ambitious but served without fuss by a warm, professional team. At 4.6 stars and premium pricing, it's built around evening tasting menus rather than a quick lunch, and its strong trendy and aesthetic scores reflect a restaurant that's both critically respected and genuinely stylish. It's well suited to a couple or small group looking for a serious food evening that still feels down-to-earth rather than stiff. Expect a two-hour-plus, multi-course dinner rather than something you can rush.

What people say
"The Clove Club somehow feels precise, relaxed, and deeply confident — like a kitchen that no longer needs to show off because it already knows exactly how good it is. Raw Orkney scallop — smoked eel, kohlrabi & bergamot Exceptionally clean scallop balanced by gentle smoke and bright citrus; delicate without feeling timid. * White asparagus royale — walnut, ginger, Arbois & Rossini caviar Rich and silky with a subtle Jura-wine depth underneath the salinity of the caviar. * Cornish sea bass — green asparagus & sauce suprême Classical French technique executed with restraint; the sauce carried the dish without overwhelming the fish. * Wild muntjac — morel, blackcurrant & wet garlic Probably the most interesting course of the night: earthy, lightly gamey, and perfectly balanced by acidity and spring garlic. * Loquat — yoghurt & amaranth A smart transition course with bright fruit and crisp texture that reset the palate before dessert. * Chocolate delice — olive oil & muscovado Deep chocolate flavor lifted by the olive oil, with the muscovado adding almost a dark-caramel depth.
