Outer Clove Restaurant

Small restaurant - reservations recommended, or come early. Everything appears homemade and garlic in every savoury dish. My wrap had garlic incorporated into the pita bread. My kids picked cheeseburgers and french fries and didn't appear to notice the garlic and chives mixed in - very flavourful. Younger one kept saying it was spicy, but he meant with flavour and did eat most of his burger. My spouse was pleased with the heat on the habenero chicken burger. We enjoyed the decor and want to come back another day to try some desserts.

Lovely restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Ordered the goulash and poutine after reading some of the comments on Google, and I was not disappointed. The goulash was exactly what one would expect of this simple meal, but the seasoning was perfect. The poutine was delicious, with the right ratio of cheese, gravy and toppings. I’m glad to see people trying more interesting flavours and adding their special touch to this simple staple dish. I will come back for sure!

Made a reservation for Saturday late afternoon. Place was empty when we arrived and we got to choose a pretty setting by the window. Server was very friendly and mindful of COVID protocols. Had the 1/2 order of Halusky, which was pure comfort food goodness. Reminds me of a creamy Gnocci and Cheese. 40 Clove Fries is a knock out and must eat. So much garlic and the fries were light and crispy. Reminds me of an elevated version of McDonald’s fries. Also tried the Cordon Clove. The roasted garlic stuffed inside was so good. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. I was hoping the mashed potatoes would have garlic in it. Unfortunately it was a little on the bland side, but maybe my tastebuds were overwhelmed with so much garlic from the other dishes. Definitely a place to visit when you’re in Nelson. The happy hour food menu from 3-5pm is a great way to try a lot of fantastic dishes. Will be back again!
