3. CLIPSTONE

“The friendly neighbourhood restaurant you wish you had.” – Jenn Low

The ‘Leave It up to Us’ option at Clipstone is a tasting menu that encompasses the essence of this restaurant—honest food provided in an inventive, yet accessible manner. The delectable menu reveals a carpaccio of Longhorn fillet with hazelnut mayo and redcurrants, crudo of seabass with plums, beetroot, and chickweed, grilled watermelon with fresh almonds and basil, and glazed BBQ quails with celeriac and peaches. None of the ingredients listed will come across as unfamiliar to the discerning gourmand, but the thought process behind crafting of the menu is evident. There is an intuitive understanding of each flavour profile that results in a clever, creative, and sincere fare.
