Dined at the Clove Club in Shoreditch, the #1 Restaurant in London! Had a lovely experience, in addition to this being the most expensive meal I’ve ever had.
Few thoughts:
-my three favorite meals were the green herb broth, smoked trout, apple tarte. The broth was just a palette cleanser, but honestly I’d bathe in that broth. So flavourful. I’m also not normally a smoked fish fan, but the trout was very subtle and well done. Finally, the apple tarte was truly wonderful. I was so full but was compelled to finish every bite. I’ve had a million apple desserts in my life, and I think this one will lovingly haunt me for the rest of my days.
-I’d recommend the wine paring, it was expensive, but really added to the 3hour dining experience.
– the staff was very friendly and attentive, as expected. The somm was quite young & quirky, but had answers to all my questions.
-I ended up only eating half of the sweetbread and they were so concerned I didn’t like it, and offered to give me a larger portion on the lamb. Now that’s some service!
-the dining room was not lavish, quite barebones, with a focus on the kitchen. Every table faced the open kitchen.
-clientele were mostly dressed very casually. I saw many sneakers and hoodies.

They served that scallop dish when I went many years ago (1 star then). Clearly a fan favourite, and one of the most memorable dishes I’ve ever had.
