The Clove Club
No.86 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
The Clove Club, perched in the historic Shoreditch Town Hall, just snagged the No.86 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, and it's easy to see why. Chef-patron Isaac McHale is redefining modern British cuisine with a tasting menu that’s as playful as it is precise, turning UK-sourced produce into elegant, stripped-back dishes that nod to his own culinary memories. The blue-tiled dining room, with its open kitchen and meticulous service, offers a relaxed yet refined east London vibe that perfectly complements the inventive, technique-driven cooking. This is not just a meal; it's a masterclass in how to honor tradition while keeping things refreshingly unexpected.
