Clandestin,Cuisine Créative: Reviews & Ratings
Love the vibrant vibe. Small, cute restaurant with a great menu. There's fried chicken on many items in the menu for good reason - it is delicious! The mussels with fried chicken was spectacular. Fried chicken with apple fritter was divine too! Go, go, go!
Always the best food. Menu changes make sure you follow them on Instagram and Facebook to get the latest. Their beer selection is always awesome and have these unheard of often. Also great wines to pair their food with. And some non alcoholic beverages that are out of the ordinary
Clandestin is great. I had the vegan poke bowl. My friends had the foie gras rhubarb French toast. I also had the frites they taste like dill pickles, so good. I had the stout on tap it was excellent but it has a high alcohol content. My friend is in the had the salmon poke bowl and another friend had the chicken salad bowl.
How to the describe Le Clandestin?!? Over the top, dirty, dirty delicious food would probably sum it up best. • They offer an interesting wine selection as well as a small menu that changes on a regular basis. Some of the staples are the mac & cheese, tacos and different spins on crispy chicken sandwiches. All very large, extravagant, messy, creative and simply crazy tasty. • I have yet to try the spaghetti Jenga, it is still on my list... Maybe next time?!? One thing is sure, you will never leave hungry. • Highly recommend!
A great place to eat. The Clandestin’s chef, Eric, has a great talent combining flavours, textures and cuisines to create his own dishes. For me, the harmonies of flavours he achieves have always been a glad surprise: sweet, spicy, crispy, sour, umami!! This is a place for people who is open for new experiences, adventure and excitement. A “voyage gastronomique”.
You've gotta try this place. Constantly changing their menu, their wine and beer selection is all privately imported. The food is unique and funky but the flavors come together so well. It's quite a culinary experience to try!!
10/10! The food was so remarkable. Flavours i never imagined. The space is small so reservations are definitely recommended! Service was so good! Not rushed or pressed to leave or order. Very helpful staff! They make their own limencello but wasn't available when we went- I'd be eager to try that next time! We had the Tuna poke bowl, chicken burger and fries, and the carpacio which is made of duck! The carpacio is a must try! It was so delicious! Better than beef in my opinion. We had the pecan dessert as well and this was unbelievable! I wish it was bigger! They have a beer on tap that pairs VERY well so be sure to ask for the stout for dessert! The menu is small but seems to change based on reviews and options I saw online vs at the restaurant. We will be back for sure! Nice area with a cute patio so would be great in the summer.
Amazing food with unique touch to timeless classics. If you’re in the area, it’s a must go. Their local craft selection is also great.
