alora parks

One of the best places to eat in town!! Friendly staff, consistent delicious Food.

Laurie Peck

Great place, a true garlic lovers dream come true.

Andrew Woodworth

The best food we ate our entire honeymoon in Canada. The garlic Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. The flatbread was delicious too (and the leftovers made for a great breakfast the next morning), and the poutine was hands down the best poutine I’ve ever had. Even the vanilla garlic ice cream was to die for. We might have to make it back to Nelson sooner than planned, just to have another meal here at Outer Clove....

Eric Fossum

GARLIC! Best restaurant in Nelson

Jasmine Smith

Delicious home cooked food and good value for prices

Ryan Sieber

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere!

Carl Choinowski

The best dishes with a garlic twist, I've never been disappointed with any of my many meals at the Outer Clove.

Alyssa Renee

My favorite restaurant in Nelson! They have a great menu and the food is always so thoughtfully prepared, my fav is the falafel.

Derek Bosch

Really tasty menu. Recent renovations have brightened the space up.

Bj Kaz

Great food if u love garlic. Everytime me and my wife come to Nelson we make sure to eat here.

Jeremy Williams

Meal type

Steve Ferwerda

The chicken was absolutely amazing. I will go back.

Frank Koran

Everything was delicious, the only thing to keep in mind is that everything is very garlicky.

Hanka Bilíková

Truly out-of-this-world food that took me back to my childhood. We had the langos, goulash soup, halusky and the wild mushroom crepes, and had to stop ourselves from licking our plates clean. Our server, Lisa, was super friendly and attentive. Overall, one of the best dining experiences ever. I just wish we lived closer to Nelson!

Dirk Jonker

If you love garlic, this is the place for you! The food is super good & the service is bar none. Quaint restaurant, relaxing surroundings. Half a block off of Baker St. Bring lots of breath mints, you're going to need them afterwards!

Autumn

Amazing home style burgers! If you ever are in the mood for big delicious burgers made with love, this place is for you. Multiple trips have never been disappointing. Just beware it can be a little busy sometimes!

Guy Rose

Lately this restaurant has been left in the dust by the many new and impressive places to eat in Nelson. Don't let the empty seats fool you the food is better than many of Nelson's restaurants. To the locals... Go eat there and keep this place open. To travelers... Many of Nelsons repeat visitors make a point of eating here every time they visit for good reason... Good food for those who love garlic.

Shel Don

It's long been a favorite of ours. Always a good meal..

Jeff Amantea

Dine in

Kiara Lynch

Nice outdoor eating area, great food, good prices too

Forest Pimm

Great service and really good food.

Dyllan Lachelt

Food was amazing! Super good portion sizes, great drinks at reasonable prices. The burger week burger is PHENOMENAL, don't order sides though because it's extremely filling and the appetizers and desserts are all delicious. I will be back soon, can't wait to try the cabbage rolls and mulled wine.

Brennen Hamm (Memories)

I always go here every time I visit Nelson. Wonderful service, excellent food!

Adrian Ferguson

Delicious food, great staff! A must if you love garlic.

Crawford Girl

Third time visiting this little gem. As usual it was delicious. We ordered the beet salad, the sirloin salad and potato soup, every choice excellent. The service was fast and friendly.

Adam Hartwick

Food was excellent

Spencer Cox

Favorite restaurant!!! Finally somewhere I don't regret spending money to eat at! Highly recommended!

Kris Houweling

So much garlic! The best fries, super garlic! Great burger, excellent bun, so much garlic! Great service, lots of garlic. The walls are kind of green, or blue, with lots of garlic. I know more than anything else now that I am not a Vampire, I am mostly garlic.

Jim Flom

Delicious meals, with a truly authentic Hungarian flair. Crepes with salad was superior, mojitos were refreshing, and the service was on point. Highly recommend.

Joan Boras

Awesome

Brittany MacLachlan

Delicious spot to grab a healthy lunch(...or to have a fondue session with the crew). Loving the new vibe in the restaurant!

Michael H

Wonderful service with authentic food. What else could you ask for?

Kelsey Grmek

Great if you love garlic. We shareed an appie and a pasta dish. Delicious

Jody Ferguson

Keep up the great job from Toronto Ontario

Caleigh Joltee

We had the special which was a Garlic and pork poutine, so much flavor.

Joel Turnill

The food is great and the musician (Barack) is excellent. He plays a wide variety of old classic rock, within his own chill little twist.

Brad Sieber

Quaint little restaurant. Great food full of garlic!

Jessica Murphy

Awesome food! The burgers are amazing. Quick service. Reasonably priced food and large quantities.

Dyllan Weich

LOVE the food here. Great service too.

Denniss Cavanagh

Amazing garlic burger.

Jeremy Murphy

AMAZING!! Do not miss this restaurant. Reasonably priced. Beautiful atmosphere. Very clean.

Doug Alder

Excellent - if you have something that comes with fries then get the yam fries and instead of ketchup get the aioli dip - the combo will blow your mind. If you love garlic this is the place to visit - they even have garlic ice cream :) Loved the funny notice about unattended children as you come in the door

Danny McDonald

Yumburger is great. Quasar is great and the Quesadilla's a great. Have never had a bad meal here.

J Ouzel

Amazing food, well priced, & nice atmosphere. Will be returning.

Therese Mah

Delicious food in a warm atmosphere. The garlic theme is really fun but never overpowering. Some really excellent fries here. Good number of vegetarian options. I hear the garlic chocolate cake is amazing, can’t wait to try it!

Steve Chivers aka Chibby

Hands down the best place I've been to. Langos burger was Divine. Definitely recommend this place.

Kira M

We tried a bunch of their menu items, even the ice cream. They were all so garlicky good!!!

Charles Moore

Yup!

Cro Cro

I went there because of good review and we Lowe garlic.Find a place can't call a restaurant place was dirty!Food was tasteless my burger was almost cold and my wife food was no better. Only staff was trying to make it better,while we had our supper they use blender or some other kitchen tools which was loud. On the end I think most of this reviews are fake to get people there .

Matthew Hogan

So good!!

Eric Harris

Very underrated place. Tasty food and nice selection of beers. Will be coming back for sure.

Becca Meikle

Delicious!

Tanya Hollingshead

That langos bread is sooooo good. I took it home and made a breakfast sandwich for the morning. This photo is Mushroom Paprikash. I had it with mashed potatoes rather than the spaetzle. I found the portion size of the mash was a little small but the dish was great!

Tan C

Not as much garlic as I would of expected, but was tasty. Great if you are wanting a lot of carbs.

Dylan Willsteed

Amazing food, amazing service every time of the year.

Chad Sidorak

One of those places where you want to have one of everything. Fried perogie appy is definitely a must. Also had stroganoff on spaetzle which was fantastic. Small restaurant, ensure you book a table.

Harriet Carlson

This place is excellent! Food was fantastic. Great patio. Fair prices. Good portions. By far, this was some of the best food we enjoyed during our two week trip. We enjoyed lunch here (mushroom crepes) and returned a few days later for dinner. Highly, very highly recommend!

Ariel Kettle

I had a salad and there was roasted garlic thrown on top. I know their thing here is to put garlic in everything, but for this salad it was a weird flavour combo and I wasn’t too into it. Had a super tasty dessert here though! Also looks like other options on the menu would be awesome. I’ll go back.

Sara Watney

Everything was amazing, even the garlic cookie and garlic ice cream!

Kit LaTigre

Pleasant surprise! This restaurant is No longer a garlic based restaurant, it IS a Hungarian restaurant that is heavy on garlic so they seem to have kept the name but changed everything else (no more roasted garlic appy on the menu) I am not super familiar with Hungarian food, but I decided to jump in and give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The flatbread is small, deep fried bread (yum) which I find sweet and chewy. Got the mushroom paprishka(?) And all the food, it was enough for two people to eat. The ceasers are garlicy as hell so I LOVED them... Food was tasty, friendly service, a bit slow and menu isn't as busy as it could be but it has enough to be able to find something. I see they've also added more vegetarian options. Wouldn't say being vegan here is easy, but vegetarian no worries.

Alex Wallis

Excellent food and service with a fair price

Maria Schuh

Garlic heaven.

Terence H

Great food and service

Eric Klassen

Very good, authentic cuisine.

Jean-François Renaud

Fish was overcooked and pastas were less than ordinary. Portobello-lentils was tasteless. Noodles and calamari were good and service was cheerful and efficient. So-so wine list. They go a bit overboard with the garlic theme.

Bryan MacLeod

Service

Robert Montgomery

Gem among gems in Nelson. Everything is worth trying.

Aleja

Garlic everything! Even garlic in the cookies! (Trust me, its good) I've been coming here for about five years, and the food is amazing. They recently changed the menu a bit and removed the small charcuterie platter but that's not a big deal as they still have the larger one. The "Quasar" burger is amazing, it's a garlic and cheese stuffed chicken breast burger!

Eric Friesen

Fantastic. Bring breath mints. You WILL need them.

Jessica Keast

Best burger I ever had. If you like garlic the way I do, this is the place to go

Dirk Schoenmaker

We went here because our usual spot was full. By accident we stumbled upon this restaurant. We sat outside on the patio and had great servers taking care of us. The food was amazing. Couldn't have asked for anything else.

Jordan Kadelbach. (Two Wheel Rover)

Great food. Friendly service. They gave me a much needed mint afterward. Garlic breath is worth it.

D

So good

Vanessa David

Delicious, colorful and tasty food - everytime!

Enrico C.O

Awesome food and service was outstanding

Elias Panasuik

What a wonderful little gem tucked on a side street in downtown Nelson. We both had the loco taco, a soft taco with black beans holding a hardshell haddock fish taco with coleslaw. The flavors were outstanding, the ingredients were obviously high quality, great coffee and side salad to boot. The cap it off, the waitress was lovely and attentive. Definitely worth a stop when you're in the Kootenay's.

Popov Leather

The schnitzel is spectacular, and the lagosh dessert is divine.

Cameron Postnikoff

(Translated) Warm welcome, very good and tasty. Fast and efficient service. For amateur of garlic. Excellent price / quality. (Original) Accueil chaleureux, très bon et goûteux. Service rapide et efficace. Pour amateur d'ail. Qualité / prix excellent.

Alan Bunyan

Spicy seafood fettuccine was stellar. Great service and a beautiful location

Mike Budau

Found this spot off the main street. We absolutely enjoyed the food. I had the Halusky, definitely good creamy fall comfort food. Service was quick and knowledgeable.

Graham T

Very good food, great service, nice place :)

Jani C

The food is great I love garlic lol try the garlic margarita and chocolate chip cookies yummy

Kathleen Wheeler

Awsome ???? burger week selection!

Scott Hively

We had a lovely waitress, the sweet potato wedges are fantastic, great service, and unique menu.

Rhiannon Morgayne

The Outer Clove has a variety of delicious options for people who eat meat, as well as vegetarians. The common denominator is copious amounts of garlic. Super tasty and nutritious served in a relaxed setting. Moderately priced.

Lauren Crosbie

We ordered 6 different entrees and they were all terrific.

Michael William Yarek

Great place to eat outide on a hot day

Amber L

Wife and I went there...food was horrible and got served tap water!! When it came time to pay the bill the waitress tried to charge us twice....Im sorry BUT 2 burgers and 2 orders of fries are not worth $50.00!!!! Will never ever return!!

Britany Spavin

The poutine is amazing!

Katie Ellert

Great food and great service. Gotta love garlic to love this place

Lorraine Ausman

This was an amazing place to have dinner one of the best Ceasar salads I have had.

terry setzer

Large portions for the big eaters. Really tastey. Very traditional. Great service. Very flexible with menu.

Natalie Gauthier

The waitress messed up my order and got snippy with my father when he pointed it out. I ate it anyway because she made me feel like a pest.

Jawn Lafratta

My wife and I went in here for our last night in Nelson. We got the last two seats available in a full house. Regardless of how full they were, the waitresses were very attentive and gave us great service. The burgers were PHENOMENAL. I had the battered chicken burger and my wife had the black and blue burger. They were fantastic! Would absolutely recommend anyone go there. And the price was very reasonable.

Steve Carter

Amazing food and great service. Would definitely recommend for garlic lovers!

Jason Baines

If you like garlic this is the place to go. Was surprised by the older decor inside, but found it to be clean.

Peter S

Halusky was super delicious and the appetizer perogies are nice and crispy

Morgan Webber

Pretty good food, if you love garlic. Some dishes could use a little more contrasting flavour.

Veljko Roškar

Food was awesome, service was great and the ambience was amazing. The Outer Clove is a must when visiting Nelson.

Bradley James

Really good food but ya gotta be a huge garlic lover!

Danielle Lussier

Wow. Always walked on by but today finally stopped in. Fantastic quality ingredients and super fresh. Had the burger and it blew my expectations away; hot, fresh, juicy. You could taste the flavour of the beef and the bun was next level, the condiments were tasty but not overwhelming. Hands down best burger and fries I've had in Nelson. My son had the kids burger on gluten free bun and loved it as well. Thanks for a tasty meal Outer Clove! Nice staff as well ????

Wheel N Deal

Fantastic food and quaint atmosphere.

Patty Moss

Garlic everything. So delicious.

Kate Thom

Good food

Ann DiPasquale

Great place one of the best veggie burgers I have ever had

Ron Jaicarran

Had a dinner special and garlic fries. Both were delicious.

Sean Allen

The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was chill and the food was incredible! They were able to accommodate twelve of us which was a bonus. I had some sort of salmon dish drizzled in a maple white wine sauce and it was just amazing!

Dave

Really good food, hands down. Family friendly, with a small collection of toys for kids to play with while waiting. Somewhat of a small venue, so just keep that in mind during the busy seasons.

Chas Reid

Great place. Healthy and tasty food. Worth the visit.

Tiny Life Big Adventure

Didn't think that garlic would be so good in some of the foods there but wow was it amazing. Kind of wanted to try the garlic chocolate chip cookies but they were out. Awesome food.

McKenzie McFarlane

Ridiculously out of this world food. The 40’clove fries are a must ! We got the cordon clove and the cabbage rolls between three of us and had to take a portion to go ! Safe to say it tasted just as good if not better at 11 o’clock that night

Charlotte M.

Great service and great quality for price! Will definitely go back if I am in the area again!

Neil Turkington

We've never had a bad meal here! This is one of our first choice restaurants every time we're in Nelson. Great home-made food! Highly recommended!

David D

Flavourful, very reasonable prices, very clean and bright decor. We had a great lunch and found the location perfect. Service was excellent, a our food came very quickly. Perfect lunch spot!

Aaron Nowak

One of my favorite meals all weekend!! Cauliflower wings to start, pretty good. Perogies next, even better. But the real winner was the Poutine a la brasso! Omg I can’t even convey just how awesome it was. Would definitely eat here again, with the poutine of course. Garlic cookie was delicious too, although didn’t taste much garlic.. it was my first time here and supposedly their food used to be even stronger with the garlic. I think it’s time to turn it back up again. But def check it out!

Barbie Wheaton

Great service! Enjoyed a very good burger.

Nathaniel Lee

We've been here once and it was great! The complimentary breath mints are appreciated!

Karen Trinh

Wow! Potent, raw but not painful garlic. I almost never order just salad but serendipitously did and that Goat Herder Salad is bomb. I'd lick the plate too had I known someone else before me did. Such lovely service to boot.

Cheneise Couture

This is probably our favorite restaurant ever. Amazing food that will knock your socks off with garlic and great service. The whole place will make you smile.

Small Trees997

Wow. I would literally drive across the country just to eat here again. Period.

S King

Friendly place with delicious food. If you love garlic...you will love their dishes! The potato mash had bits of dill pickle...brilliant! The habenero cream sauce was just right for the amount of spice. Eat here!!

Luna O'Connell

We were delighted as usual. Highly recommend their fusion salad.

Stephen Carr

If you haven't tried it yet you don't know what your missing.

Joshua Hellawell

The food was amazing. Service was spot on. Serving sizes perfect. Cannot say anything but good things about our experience!

Anna Huang

Good food , atmosphere, and the waitress was exceptional!

Kelsey McPhail

The food was fresh, garlicky, and generous in portion sizing. I found that the extras, such as adding mushroom paprikash onto a schnitzel for $4, were very overpriced for the very small amount you got. The same went for the bacon on the perogies, which was also extra ($3) and almost none was provided for the extra money. Would recommend this place for a meal though! Just stick with menu items and don't pay the extra for more fixings.

Leanne G

Excellent food and good service. The burgers and clove bowl are excellent and if you are getting fries don't forget the garlic aioli.

Colby Katzberg

Food is delicious, and staff are pleasant and accommodating, can't wait to eat there's again

L T

Great little place. It was delighful to eat in front of the huge open window and enjoy watching the people walking by. The food is delicious. Be sure to try the Cherry Soup. Service was great

Sherry-Anne Bogen

Wow! One of the best restaurant meals I have ever had! All three of us were so impressed with the food. Yum, yum, yum! I had the Cordon Clove. The chicken was to die for and the mashed potatoes were delicious! Mom had the crepes and raved, Connie had the Schnitzel and raved. So good!

Matthew Hicks

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE GARLIC. SERIOUSLY. (Point taken from a couple at another table) To be frank, this place is amazing. The inner/outer is quite possibly the best brie and garlic fusion in existence. My heart goes out to another table who ordered after us later in the evening when they had polished off the last of this delectable appy. Our entrees were on point. Though we only sampled two of them between us, I doubt there's anything on the menu that wouldn't rate as wonderful. To sum up, go here!

Paul S.

OMFG, this place is out of this world. I don't remember last time I enjoyed food this flavourful. It was not only authentic, it exceeded my expectations even after reading many raving reviews. The staff was very friendly, especially our server Lisa, we'll be back for sure.

Olivia Gustafson

Good food, but cold in the middle of winter. I took one star off because it was so chilly in the restaurant :(

Danny Macintosh

My first Canadian meal in over 30 years and I sure did pick the right place. My family loved our food.

Dilltron 3030

My favourite restaurant in Nelson.

Shelley Nicholls

Love love love this place. I have been often and hsve never been disappointed.

Babak Alinejad

This restaurant is changed "likely ownership" since the time we tried it. Have not tried under new management but the menu is not similar to what we had. If it is just a new menu, then I think it is worth trying. Wish good luck to the new team. But the following old review may not be applicable anymore. Dined there tonight. Great food. I ordered the salmon dish with to Thai curry and rice. Very well-balanced fish and amazing taste. Loved it. Highly recommend it.

Sheila Morrison

After an incredibly long day, the Outer Clove was so welcoming and friendly. Thanks... We'll definitely come back. Garlic soup was amazing.

Andrew Loughlin

Great service, fantastic food. They accommodated our large group on very short notice and in spite of a disclaimer that we might have some delays because of our group size meals all came promptly.

KC Lam

Probably the best meal we've had since leaving Vancouver (Vancouver-Kamloops-Revelstoke-Golden-Cranbrook-Nelson-Osoyoos). Loved the snitzhel and my daughter said "she will come back to Nelson for the kayaking and the spaetzle"!

Mandy Cyr

Nice apot good eating

Joelle Jensen

Call this place garlic city! If you do not like garlic, do not go here. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy.

BJ

Simple and devastatingly delicious! All my Eastern European favourites done right.

Lissa De Vries

Expensive, small portions and mediocre food. Just sprinkling chopped garlic on everything doesn't make the food better.

Vienna Dönni

Outer Clove Restaurant Next I have to say I'm going back, but very l there!

Michael W

Good portions and delicious food. A winner.

Gerald Evdokimoff

Omg,if you want a taste of garlic in your meal with some of the best flavors in your main dish this place is a must. The best Caesar salad ever.

Keanan Ojro

Delicious food, great service, cozy atmosphere, good price.

Sarah Vickers

This place had great food. We found it by accident on our vacation. Three of us tried three different dishes and were impressed by all three. The garlic flavors melded really well together, my panko chicken was tender and great, and had a delicious light crust. I'd highly recommend for anyone who likes garlic flavors.

Kevin H

Delicious food! The calamari is a must. We will be back on our next visit to Nelson.

Natasha McAvoy

Fantastic little place with a cute interior. All the food has some sort of garlic in it, raw, cooked or otherwise.

Michelle Webber

Dinner

Tyler Tong

Great food , awesome staff !!

Chaneill Satow

Delicious, modernist take on Hungarian dishes. Garlic lovers, rejoice!

Ian Morrison

Soooooooo good and garlicky. The poutine is to die for

Kallisons BC

Incredibly good, homemade feeling food, and very friendly service. The food came quick and tasted amazing.

Karen Doepel

Always great service and food.

Mr Black

Amazing food amazing service and a wonderful little restaurant with great energy.

Julianne Yeager

My first experience with Hungarian food - this place was a total gem! I’m an adventurous eater and tried some (apparently) traditional Hungarian dishes, but there was lots on the menu for someone looking for a burger or pasta. The food was delicious, fresh, and seemed authentic (again, my first experience so I’m going on a bit of a limb with that assessment - regardless, it was all fantastic). Strongly recommend the cherry soup, Hungarian flatbread things, chicken paprikash, and golden raisin crepe! Go here (but not when I’m in town)!

Patrick Dion

Great food

Steve B

Had the garlic burger and fires, it was delicious.

Laurrie Johnson

Food was absolutely delicious and service was spot on . Haven't eaten here for a number of years and was presently surprised. Will definitely return .

Dmitri Hnatovsky

Best garlic mayo I have ever tried. So what if garlic is their main focus, who doesn't enjoy that? Amazing service, super friendly and kind. Sit by the window if you can.

Mandie Cleland

The food is AMAZING. Never had a bad dish. The Spaetzel dishes are my favourite. The Langos (traditional is my go to) is a must get every time I go. Treat yourself to a garlic chocolate chip cookie too!

Andrew Maria Chen

Pork schnitzel and veggie moussaka were excellent! Good service, atmosphere was nice, only thing we noticed was that our server was mopping floor while we were eating so that was a bit of a turnoff.

Chris Hearnden

Nice idea, concept was awesome and the menu looked good. Food was not great, kind of poorly executed. Just not very hot, starch seemed old (microwaved I think) and the paprika gravy was watery and tasted a bit weird.......I will try again when I am in town next, hopefully it was just an off day as the menu looks great!

Elle Dee

Wow. Casual atmosphere. Good service. The food was the best meal we had in 2 weeks of traveling through BC. We would come to Nelson from Vancouver just to eat here! Amazing value and variety. Pickles are fantastic. Chicken cordon clove and the quinoa salad with garlic goddess dressing was wonderful! I don't think you could go wrong. Unless you don't like garlic.

Manda Dyck

A must go!! Love love love this place ! Excellent food for any garlic lover great friendly service , we go to Nelson every 2 years and the outer clove is first on our list for place to eat ! Must try the garlic chocolate chip cookies!

Harrisson Zibin

Quite disappointed , after my girlfriend kept going on for months about how good the food was and raved about the caesar salad, we finally got to go eat at the restaurant. While looking at the menu I found it too be quite overpriced for what we received. The caesar salad was very bland and disappointing at a $12 charge which we received what seemed to be a side caesar and not a full , as was the chicken quasar burger which had zero to no flavour. I also pointed out too the waitress that I have a slight allergy to tomatoes and did not want it on my burger. She was kind about it, but than once the burger was brought to the table it had a tomato on it.. even when we had a good conversation about my situation with them. She offered to make me a new burger which was nice, but I was not willing to wait another 40+ minutes for a burger that already did not look very appealing to begin with. All in all was a poor experience for being my first time there. The waitress was very friendly and cut our caesar salad price in half , but I do not plan on going back. From what I've heard , the restaurant is not the same as it used to be, as I've heard many good things about the place in general. Anyways, I hope others have a better experience than I did.

Lenore Boudreau

This is one of my favourite places to visit in Nelson! I try to make a point of having at least one meal when I’m in town.

Charles Mattina

Amazing cauliflower wings, great goulash, and the haddock tacos were hearty and well priced. Really good value here as the food holds its own compared to much more expensive places.

Marie-Claude Bouchard

Very good food, plenty of gluten free options and friendly service. We will come back!

Donna Powers

Garlic is what this place is all about! Great savoury food, well prepared, and friendly staff.

Eleanor Schmutz

Delicious! Cute little outdoor patio, yummy food and happy staff

Andrew B

Excellent food. Highly recommend the Langos, the cordon clove chicken and the chocolate fondue

Loretta Fendrock

Langosh (Hungarian flat bread) is delish! Go for lunch for bigger selection. small place with big heart.

dave anthony

Great service and food

Adam Geib

Food is great and staff are always lovely

Ian Wallen

I have loved this place for the last ten years since moving to Nelson. I am a garlic lover, so naturally i was vary exited to find a restaurant dedicated to international cuisine focusing on a garlic theme, tying all the dishes together. They even have garlic Chip cookies which are delicious and as other reviews mention, locally made garlic ice cream, and their own locally made garlic hot sauce which is available upon request. I will not pretend that i am not biased, considering that after nine years of being a happy customer i asked to join their work force, and now you might see me as your waiter a couple days a week. Even after working there for more than a year now, i still love the food and would highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys garlic... and even to those that don't.

Daniel Slade

The best this place has ever been! Everything is sooo delicious! If you love garlic this is the place to eat. The service is really good and atmosphere is perfect. 10/10 coming back very soon!

Kent Wood

Just off the main drag. Good menu selection, interesting vibe.

H. Yoo

We had the poutine, paprikash, cabbage rolls and the strawberry flat bread. The poutine was a little lacking in toppings (especially the meat toppings as described in the menu) but was still tasty with a strong garlic punch. Main dishes were good, not overly seasoned, tasted like comforting home made food though the chicken was a bit weird with its processed meat like texture. The dessert was so yummy, couldn't stop eating it!

Megan Cindric

My family (including our five year old twins) had the pleasure of eating at Outer Clove this weekend. The staff was attentive but the food? Outstanding! Everything is homemade and presented beautifully. Both my husband and I, with our very different preferences, were totally satisfied as were our kids. Do not overlook this spot in Nelson!

Brendan Mierau

The food is amazing, if you love garlic you will love this place but that being said the service was pretty slow, took almost 45 minutes for fish and chips.

alex (Alex)

Wonderful, unusual but not pretentious food. I think this is one of my favorite restaurants in BC. Lovely staff, great service. This was my first time here but can't wait to go back to Nelson for more. We had poutine, mushroom crepes and garlic potato soup, all of which were delish..

Nick Cowie

Great menu, friendly staff.

Cameron Bond

Everything was amazing! We LOVE garlic and we're not disappointed!!

Dale Ganske

Slow service, food was just ok, and the red wine was very warm, not to mention that it just slightly better than vinager

Ren Macintosh

Just the fact that they've been open for so long with such a specialized menu is impressive & speaks to how good they are. Loved the wall art (garlic themed), delicious garlic fries, saw garlic cookies

apester 26

Great garlic lovers restaurant. Dishes are garlic themed, but also unique and in a nice presentation.

James Paterson

Normal restaurant, common food, no surprise. Fries are salty.

Brian Peel

Good service and I really do love garlic...but garlic does not replace all other seasoning. I'll leave it at that.

Heather Manning

perfect amount of garlic to keep the taste buds going!!! Great service and a great atmosphere

Leah Fisher

Amazing food and great service! If you are looking for a quaint place with amazing food this is it!

Kristen Baker

I can honestly say i had the best meal of me entire LIFE here. The Cordon Clove.... order it and let it change your life like it did mine. Thanks again!

Brent Forder

Theres not a big selection of vegetarian mains, but the appetizers are fun and it's a nice, professional restaurant overall. The service was good and there were some interesting flavors and textures... I would return!

Jay Whitten

Dropped in on a whim. Unpretentious vibe and good service. The menu was mostly vegetarian but varied. The falafel wrap, as simple as that seems, was perfect.....every bite savored. Fresh, crisp and perfectly seasoned. Just great, healthy meal. Highly recommended!

Justine Yiu

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!

Ema-lee Beth

Great food! Great service! Deep fried pickles are amazing!

Nathan Wheaton

Fantastic restaurant, the Garlic infusion elevates this to a real top notch dining experience!

Roger Waterhouse

Excellent service, outstanding food! The curry summer squash soup was amazing. Note, garlic is heavily featured here, which is great with me as I love garlic!

Jessica Hodgins

Fantastic food. The stroganoff was to die for! The Bohemian cake was just the thing to top it off. ...and the service was spot on and really friendly.

Been going here for the past 8 years and not once have i been disapointed. The meals always delicious and inviting for another bite. When im feeling a cold approach i go for the garlic and potato allium soup with the inner/outter clove appy along side the garlic yum burger, and by by cold. Service and staff always 5 stars.

Dinner was fabulous. We weren't sure what to expect as the menu is anything but usual. The cabbage rolls were wonderful and not skimpy on meat. The chicken paprikash was very good as well. This little restaurant has such a nice atmosphere. There is outdoor seating but I recommend getting a table inside. I also recommend making a reservation. Prices are fair. Portions are fair. Flavors are superb and service was excellent.

Amazing. Drove into Nelson from camping for a real meal. Excellent service and delicious food. The garlic stuffed chicken was very tasty. Large portions of food. Dessert was a huge clump of chocolate chip/garlic cookie. One of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Our waitress was extremely attentive, polite and friendly. If you're passing through Nelson, this is the restaurant worth stopping for.

Who doesn't love garlic? If that's you, don't go to this place. Because it's full of garlicy awesomeness.
