Innovative British tasting menus with globally inspired flavors
"A two-Michelin-starred restaurant in London where Yoakum previously worked." - Courtney E. Smith
"Go for the house martini as you enjoy an array of snacks like crispy buttermilk chicken and crab dumpling that precede the start of The Clove Club's multi-course set menu. The roll-call of prime British ingredients includes Orkney scallops, Wiltshire trout, Torbay prawns, Herdwick lamb and Middle White pork – all starring in seasonally pertinent dishes where their natural flavours are allowed to shine through. The historic surroundings of Shoreditch Town Hall provide the perfect backdrop, with the open-plan kitchen adding a little more theatre to proceedings." - Michelin Inspector
"The Clove Club is listed at the The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2025 as rank 80." - The World's 50 Best Restaurants
"From the World’s 50 Best list, the Clove Club has come of age after starting out in the '00s as a Dalston supper club. These days it’s set behind a glossy blue door in Shoreditch’s stately old town hall, with a polished, low-lit bar, and pared-back dining room, where the best views are of chef Isaac McHale’s buzzing, blue-tiled kitchen. Fuss and frills are out but the elaborate tasting menu is dizzyingly ambitious—though, unlike some Michelin-starred joints, they’re not averse to serving fried chicken. Two Michelin stars means it’s always busy, but don’t panic if you’re seated in the bar; candlelit, cozy, it has its own low-lit charm. Booking ahead is advised, although you can sometimes nab a seat at the bar where they also serve the full tasting menu." - Elizabeth Winding, Sonya Barber
"Iconic Shoreditch restaurant the Clove Club, headed up by chef Isaac McHale, has two stars." - Eater Staff
