Clove - Cheshire East

I love it when a simple and casual restaurant or a casual eating gets a star, this place in a wise like a school canteen with a small open kitchen that wonders, totally loved it

Clove Club is a relaxed, modern and fun dining experience. We had the five course tasting menu but with additional courses and some freebies it was more like 10 courses. The food really takes you on a journey and the wine was well recommended. Service is exemplary and we really were made to feel special. I would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere for a special occasion.

I have always maintained that expectations often preclude a disappointment – sadly, this statement often proves true when it comes to restaurants. It isn’t hard not to have expectations of the Clove Club, as it comfortably sits at No 26 on the San Pellegrino Worlds 50 Best Restaurant list. Perhaps this situation wasn’t aided by my recent obsession with the Netlix series “Chef’s Table” (which I highly recommend to all, foodies and non-foodies alike). But it was a disappointment nonetheless.

At some point, you probably saw that the latest #Worlds50Best was released; you know, the annual glorification of the top end of the restaurant scene. I must admit, I watched the ceremony through the live streaming site and was interested to see who the winners and losers were. Of course the annual list of the top 50 restaurants changes, it would be a pretty boring place if it stayed the same; but I was glad to see Eleven Madison Park pick up the gong for the 2017 best restaurant. I’ve been and it’s glorious (see post here).

My friend and I went to the clove club for lunch. The food was really nice. A bit pricey for the kind of food they serve you. Good service as well.
