Baltimore: Clementine - Makers of Fine Foods in Hamilton

Today I would like to let you know about a restaurant called Clementine that can be found at 5402 Harford Road in the up and coming northeast Baltimore neighborhood of Hamilton. The Chef/owner of Clementine, Winston Blick, ran the kitchen in Federal Hill’s SoBo Café. It is great to have the urban feel of Federal Hill move to northeast Baltimore.

Clementine’s opened in 2008 and it’s fabulous to watch the transformation of the restaurant which has physically expanded its space and currently offers a pretty extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  When Clementine’s first opened it’s doors, I typically would order the chicken that was served airline style, which means off the bone, but with the wing. Going back after the expansion, I was excited to see the menu’s offerings were more varied and the restaurant has also obtained a liquor license.

What immediately captured my eye is the Charcuterie.  You are thinking what is a charcuterie? The website describes it as a shop where pork products such as hams, sausages and pates are made and sold.  Luckily for patrons, meats and poultry are hormone-free.

Opting to try the pork next time, I ordered “The Colette” a sandwich made of turkey Danish Blue Cheese spread, arugula, and red wine braised onions. The sandwiches at Clementine come with the choice of moroccan carrot salad, pasta salad, spring onion and tarragon pasta salad, fruit salad with mint and sesame oil or a small house salad.  Our server was friendly and very attentive.

Besides being family oriented, Clementine’s gives a casual urban feel without having to go downtown.  The area of Hamilton is going through a revival and more independent retail shops, restaurants, art galleries, and bookstores are opening on Harford Road.  Besides dining at Clementine, also set aside some time to explore the stores and shops in the area.  I guarantee that you will enjoy the experience!
