About this place
Occupying the 2rd floor of a building in Jingumae 4-chome, just moments from Omotesando Station, CLOVE restaurant is an easygoing bistro dining room operating in tandem with the bakery shop downstairs. Counter stools sit alongside dining tables, making the space just as welcoming for a solo shopping-break lunch as it is for an evening meal over a glass of wine.
The lunch window runs generously from 11:00 to 17:00, putting the bakery's loaves to good use across a range of plates. Options include pulled pork eggs Benedict layered with rich, savory fillings, and a classic bakery burger stacked with sliced tomato and red onion. Orders of the daily pasta or the mushroom soup and bread platter come accompanied by fragrant, freshly baked slices—one of the establishment's distinct draws.
Come evening, the menu transitions to wine-friendly small plates, pastas, and substantial meat courses. A meal might start with an appetizer platter featuring rich grilled potato salad or a colorful fresh fish carpaccio, moving on to a chewy linguine bolognese coated in savory sauce. For mains, options range from a tender, flavorful Japanese Black wagyu rump steak to seafood-rich dishes like acqua pazza.
For dessert or afternoon cafe hours, the kitchen prepares seasonal fruit tarts, house-made tiramisu, and Basque cheesecake, rounding out the experience alongside a pot of tea or cup of coffee.
