Review Clandestin - Gatineau

We had the pleasure of going to the Clandestin for supper a couple weeks back and overall had a good time. Despite this experience being good, I will not leave a 5-star review however for several reasons. The food: "creative cuisine" is always to be praised as it opens up new territories in recipes and preparations. I ordered the tartare which was prepared following a more Asian approach, with shrimps and veggies. Unfortunately, the beef meat which was hiding all the way under this pile of ingredients, didn't have any taste anymore. In my humble opinion, the meat should be the highlight of this recipe, not the accessory ingredients. It was interesting but certainly not what I expected. My girlfriend had the fried chicken burger, which was tasty and well presented. Fries were equally good. We also had a carpaccio as shown on the picture which was very good too. Now regarding the venue, this restaurant is small and can only accomodate probably between 20 to 30 people inside. It was packed, loud (especially because of a party of 8 right behind us), and quite frankly our clothing smelled like cooked and deep fried food after we left, which wasn't great. A good experience nonetheless, hence the rating of 4 🌟.

How to the describe Le Clandestin?!? Over the top, dirty, dirty delicious food would probably sum it up best. • They offer an interesting wine selection as well as a small menu that changes on a regular basis. Some of the staples are the mac & cheese, tacos and different spins on crispy chicken sandwiches. All very large, extravagant, messy, creative and simply crazy tasty. • I have yet to try the spaghetti Jenga, it is still on my list… Maybe next time?!? One thing is sure, you will never leave hungry. • Highly recommend!

Eaten here about 10X. Every time the food has been really creative, fresh, perfectly cooked. The chef has wonderful wine recommendations to pair with your meal. I wish I could eat here more but don’t live in town. Thanks, Eric!

It's a hole in the wall and you wouldn't expect it, but they have amazing food. Their menu changes regularly. I had the kimchi pork poke bowl when we went. Very limited seating, but it was winter so no patio at the time. Quick service and friendly staff. Decor and bathroom could use some work.

Love the vibrant vibe. Small, cute restaurant with a great menu. There's fried chicken on many items in the menu for good reason - it is delicious! The mussels with fried chicken was spectacular. Fried chicken with apple fritter was divine too! Go, go, go!

A tiny little gem in old Hull. Went to celebrate with a friend and we were treated to a series of amazing small plates. Great wine options by the glass. You must try their spagaccini jenga- a real fun take of mozza sticks!

A lovely little place, great service with a smile and the food, simply amazing. I had the Cesar salad.with fried chicken. All paired with a lovely organic wine. Highly recommended.

Clandestin is great. I had the vegan poke bowl. My friends had the foie gras rhubarb French toast. I also had the frites they taste like dill pickles, so good. I had the stout on tap it was excellent but it has a high alcohol content. My friend is in the had the salmon poke bowl and another friend had the chicken salad bowl.

A great place to eat. The Clandestin’s chef, Eric, has a great talent combining flavours, textures and cuisines to create his own dishes. For me, the harmonies of flavours he achieves have always been a glad surprise: sweet, spicy, crispy, sour, umami!! This is a place for people who is open for new experiences, adventure and excitement. A “voyage gastronomique”.

Always the best food. Menu changes make sure you follow them on Instagram and Facebook to get the latest. Their beer selection is always awesome and have these unheard of often. Also great wines to pair their food with. And some non alcoholic beverages that are out of the ordinary

Mon resto préférée en Outaouais ! Un service parfait, des plats de malade, une carte de vins et de bières étonnante. C'est gras, c'est bon, c'est goûteux. C'est comme un rêve. ��

Cette place est une découverte formidable. La bouffe est super et j'y retournerai sans faute. Un must dans la région.

C'est de loin le meilleur resto que suis allée! Tout est parfait textures, saveurs, couleurs tout y est! Service #1 et ça coûte pas chère. Bonne bière de micro + le choix de déguster un 5 services complètement malade! Longue vie au clandestin �

These guys really captured the new creative way to attract and deliver awesome new dishes. OK agreed it is a bit on the expensive side and you might not treat yourself everyday to it but when you do....oh my the quality ingredients and experience is worth every penny. thx guys

Super sympathique petit resto, un délice pour les papilles gustatives et du super service !! Bref, une seconde visite est nécessaire pour explorer le reste du menu !! Belle addition aux bonnes tables à Gatineau ! Bravo !!

Instagram : -Photo de sandwich Clandestin- Moi : Femme habille toi live , j’te sort.. Femme : Where? Moi : Manger un Mac’tard! Femme : ?!?!? What? ( s’t’une anglaise ) J’suis pas végétarien , mais la sandwich attire mon attention!! Wow, juste wow! Apres la premiere bouchée , ma grosse barbe est rendu un grosse barbe sale pleine de sauce, avocat et petite miette de panko. L’anglaise choisie la sandwich signature avec Kim Chi on the side. Sa bouche est ben trop petite pour prendre un bouchée.. Un autre plat sa coche! Le service était efficace, mon verre toujours plein de bonne bière de la brasserie du bas canada. Merci a toi , serveur inconnu a la tete rase et a la barbe mignature. 5 étoiles pour la casquette style Trump “Make Gatineau great again” que le Bussboy portait..J’en veux une! Mais comment? I guess que j’vais sortir mon vieux cv de cuisinier... Me presenter pour une entrevue , aller a l’orientation , recevoir l’uniforme et me sauver après! J’espère que ma “review” a été a la hauteur de vos plats.. A bientot!

Aller manger au clandestin c'est tout simple avoir un momment ... une expérience ... Je n'est pas de mot. Définitivement, a recommencer. Bravo!

Superbe découverte! Bouffe et service hors-pairs. J'ai bien aimé leur sélection de bière micro-brasserie...Excellent endroit pour être en excellente compagnie. Je recommande de réserver afin de profiter pleinement du resto tout en ayant l'esprit tranquille! Bravo et merci à Éric et l'équipe.

Superbe soirée avec le chef du Clandestin en formule chef à la maison. Chic type, cuisine créative, goûteuse et généreuse. Tout le monde a adoré. Je le recommande sans hésitation. Merci Éric et Laure d'avoir partagé votre passion avec nous.
