Outer Clove Restaurant Reviews
A 5-star review for BOTH the food and the service.
The food is exceptionally good. The service is also exceptionally good with my extremely knowledgeable server. My server really knows how to recommend the flow of drink to appetizer (soup) to main course to dessert.

The Outer Clove Restaurant is a beloved spot that offers a cozy, old-building atmosphere and a Hungarian-inspired ambiance. The menu features traditional dishes such as goulash and chicken paprikash, made with scratch-made recipes and authentic flavors. Known for its warm and hearty food, the restaurant also excels in fantastic service. With a focus on European cuisine, the Outer Clove Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking a taste of Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, Austria, and the Czech Republic. Customers can enjoy a variety of options to suit different tastes, including garlic-free dishes. Inside, the charming ambiance is enhanced by open windows that let in fresh air. The inviting garlic smell adds to the experience, and many guests recommend trying the garlic dipping sauce, which pairs well with everything. The cozy environment makes it a favorite for both special occasions and regular visits. Recently, diners have praised the perfectly crispy langos and fried cheese appetizers, along with dishes like duck, paprikash, and pork crepe, all enjoyed in a setting that feels like grandma's cooking. One guest shared that they had the Beef Strognaff four years ago and still thinks about it today—giving it a perfect 10/10. Another enjoyed the seafood crepe with a side salad, describing the seafood as fresh, the garlic sauce top notch, and the crepe melt-in-your-mouth soft, with a fresh salad featuring pickled beets and toasted garlic. A group from Whistler celebrated a birthday with dishes like garlic soup, goulash soup, Langos, Czech fried cheese, and halušky, all full of wonderful flavors and reminiscent of traditional Moravian recipes. Overall, the Outer Clove Restaurant is considered one of the best restaurants in Nelson, with a unique selection of food and excellent service that keeps visitors coming back multiple times during their trips. It is highly recommended for date nights or family dinners, ensuring everyone enjoys every bite.
