What a Meal Looks Like at The Clove Club - Chef Isaac McHale's Two Michelin Star London Restaurant
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лют 2023
- Chef Isaac McHale and his two friends ran a supper club inside their apartment before moving operations into the historic building that previously housed the Shoreditch Town Hall. The Clove Club (no. 35 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2022) is one of our favorite fine dining restaurants in London. The tables face the action in the blue-tiled open kitchen where McHale and his team churn out a modern British tasting menu using local produce. Our favorite dish on our most recent visit was a sweet and savory dessert of potato jam, coffee meringue, potato mousse, coffee powder, salted caramel, truffle, and vanilla.

The vibes of the space seem very St. John, but the food is very inventive and new - I mean, potato dessert! Great combo.
Not totally unlike St. John, true!
Amazing
So elegant- and that dessert sounds really interesting!
It really is!
Beautiful innovative dishes.
Everything looked so delicious!
It was!
This looks amazing!
It really was!
fun fact, Gravner designed that glass based on traditional Georgian clay wine drinking glass 😊
Cool!
Excellent camera work. Would like to hear more comparative comments on tastes, etc.

Looking so delicious!!
It was!
Vintage Madeira, duck stock and ginger drink, the venison sausage, Scottish taco and the desserts looked unique! The potato jam, black truffles and salted caramel dessert was definitely something I would try! Yum!
All amazing dishes!
Really interesting as I always wanted to go there but after seeing Andy Haylers underwhelming review I was put off. If there is anywhere I want to go in the London it is the Ritz
Love Andy Hayler's reviews! Looks like he had an almost completely different menu than us, though.
The food is truly underwhelming. Worst Michelin starred meal of my life. Left half way through the dinner it was so bad.
@@tavo.B sad to hear you had such a bad experience here. Couldn’t have been more opposite for us.
Usually I agree with Hayler, but he's hyped up the Ritz so much and so often in his reviews that I am beginning to wonder if he has an agreement with them behind the scenes. The Ritz is excellent even just based on the food alone but the best in London is a bit much.
Wow , can't believe I haven't been here. It actually hasn't been on my Radar but it certainly is now. The food is totally different from the norm , unusual combinations and exciting plates. Honestly there wasn't a single course which didn't excite. Nice one guys, enjoyed the video.... as always.
Great to hear! You should def go.
If you had to choose between The clove club or ikoyi what would you do?
I’ve only got one dinner spot left so I can’t choose both :(
Probably Ikoyi!
Think this is the first time I've heard an American sincerely say g'day. Very unexpected
I have been to clove club for dinner before and I loved the food there. Very inventive and original. But I did recall one dish I didn’t like… it was a mackerel served with cucumber… was supposed to bring out the freshness of the mackerel but I thought that was too fishy… and I hate cucumber… but otherwise everything was almost perfect.
Nice. Did it look anything like the current dishes or did they discontinue it?
@@andersandkaitlin it was long long time ago (pre-Covid) but it really stuck on me. That said, everything else was done almost perfectly. Not to say that that particular dish wasn’t done well. It just a personal preference that I am not a fan of the fishyness and fish with strong flavour in general but I can see why some people love it.
@@randomcon123 That's how it is with food, very subjective!
Kudos for serving something other than all seafood, as you constantly see in fine dining
Yeah, it was a refreshing menu.
I count like 16 dishes here, but if I go to their website, a tasting menu is 8 dishes? Can someone brighten me up?
Often restaurant like this has a lot of smaller dishes they serve that doesn't count towards the "official" dishes on the tasting menu.
@@andersandkaitlin Thanks for the reply. That clears it up 😄
@@Daimflyder You're welcome! :)
Cool 😎 Nails 💅
Thanks! :D
3:28, Harry in the house?
Hahaha!
not a massive fan of the audio on this video
Care to elaborate on why?
The Clove Club is by far the most cerebral, confused and dull Michelin starred restaurant I've eaten at.thoigh conceptually innovative, the chef needs to really Google the word FLAVOUR. I hope they were just having a bad day but we paid close to 200pounds / pp for regular ass buttermilk fried chicken, regular ass pakora and some other bland, unseasoned, dull AF courses of food.
There were a couple of hits - like the sausage course and a crab tart. But majority of it was super underwhelming and tasteless. However, the service was outstanding- both from our server and sommelier!
The crispy chicken foot skin was a lacklustre highlight, tasted just like regular crispy chicken skin but with less salt.
The final straw was a poached baby leek with a fish so bland a hospital could have served it. This is where we asked for our cheque because another hour of dull, basic, unseasoned cooking didnt look like fun.
We paid for the whole meal even though we ate only 70% but looking back should have asked for a COMP.
Sounds like we dined at two different restaurants!
Michelin food is processed food there is no getting away from it .
Are you sure you know what processed food is?
@@andersandkaitlin of course I do .I've worked in these places.still currently a head chef..all the food is put through many processes.
@@darrenburke9630 What kind of processes are you talking about? Almost all food is processed in some way or another, unless you serve raw vegetables on a plate. Saying Michelin food is processed makes it sound like you're comparing it to ready-to-eat frozen meals or products with endless shelf life.
@@andersandkaitlin no they use a lot of ingredients that are not natural to the larder, the tasting menu rubbish is specifically what I'm talking about.its put through multiple processes and use shite you've never heard of .it's had its day tasting Michelin menus yawn!
@@darrenburke9630I guess that's why hundreds of Michelin starred restaurants are still fully booked for weeks or months ahead. Yup, surely an industry in collapse.
Too poor to travel!
Sorry to hear that! Hope you're able to save up.
Pretentious at its best
