No.86 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
The Clove Club, perched within the historic Shoreditch Town Hall, has clinched the No.86 spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list with its audacious take on modern British cuisine. Chef-patron Isaac McHale crafts a seasonal tasting menu that artfully balances technical precision with a minimalist approach, drawing on his own culinary memories and the finest produce from across the UK. The blue-tiled dining room exudes a laid-back east London vibe, while the open kitchen and meticulous service add an intimate touch to the dining experience. This is a restaurant that redefines tradition with playful elegance, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a fresh twist on British gastronomy.

Set within the historic Shoreditch Town Hall, the blue-tiled dining room has a relaxed east London vibe with an open kitchen and meticulous service.
