About Us
Time passes in a strange way. Time has a strange way of passing. Time moves in mysterious ways.
One day it seems to you that life is an endless repetition of events that never stop, and the next day you realize that’s no longer the case.
Time slips through your fingers. The things that seemed important grow small as the days pass. But in that very same time, in its fleetingness, everything is built.
The space a year occupies is small, yet its immensity is unreachable. Today marks 2 years… a small part of history, but it is ours.

We had such a great experience at Clara. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our waiter suggested several dishes for us, and every single recommendation was perfect. I’d especially recommend the burrata and the veal cheek — both were outstanding. You could really feel the care in both the food and the service. On top of that, I loved the interior and the overall atmosphere of the place. Definitely one of those restaurants where everything comes together beautifully. We’ll absolutely be coming back!

Wonderful food and great atmosphere. The light is so special and it makes a perfect date spot! The anchovis toast with truffled butter just melts in your mouth.

I really had higher expectations especially after so many people recommended this place. Steak was okay, waiter was very slow, inattentive. I asked for rib eye steak and waiter told me they don’t have rib eye steak in their menu despite it was written right there. Then he didn’t even ask how do we like our steak cooked and he just brought medium rare so we had to send it back to cook it to medium. Tuna belly carpaccio was great tho!
Overall experience was quite disappointing.

The atmosphere was wonderful, the waiter was charming; but we won't be back.
The timing was off (we were left waiting too long between courses halfway through the service), the quality was okay, but I don't feel there's a good balance between quality, price, and preparation. It's a place that doesn't live up to expectations, even though the atmosphere is fantastic and the waiter is lovely. The preparation and timing could be much improved.

We went for dinner. The atmosphere and music were lovely. The service was incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was perfect for a tapas-style dinner when you want variety.

Price is quite high for the amount of food. Quality is good. Service is average.

The food was mediocre, the wine selection awful. The music (rap?) was completely inappropriate and unbearable. When we were leaving, no one said goodbye.

Had dinner here last night. First place in Spain where the tapas were an add on and not the whole menu. I had a green salad, croqqettes and the paella. All were extremely tasty and well presented. Our waiter was charming and was informative about the wine and food. Easily my best meal in Spain ever.

A standout evening at Clara. From the moment we walked in, the service struck exactly the right note — attentive without ever hovering, warm without being performative. The kind of staff who clearly take pride in the room.
The crowd is part of the experience: a confident, well-dressed mix of locals and people who know the city, the sort of place where the energy carries the night without anyone trying too hard.
The food was excellent across the board — precise and full of character rather than fuss. Every plate felt considered.
But the real highlight was the wine. The list is thoughtful and deep, and the sommelier's guidance was first-class — genuinely listening to what we liked and then pointing us somewhere better than we'd have found on our own. Pairings that elevated the whole meal.
Service, crowd, food, and especially the wine and the advice behind it — all top. We'll be back.

A very pleasant dinner.
Very good meal, maybe too much salted.
But the food is so good, and the waiter was very nice and cool.
I recommend.

My tastebuds are coming together and dancing in joy. Wow! I see why my Catalan friend who grew up here recommended this place. That truffle butter focaccia packed so much powerful flavor into 3 bites. Almost ordered 3 more. The terrace felt nice to sit in and enjoy a calmer side of Barcelona on a Friday night. Very kind servers, great personality. Those bacon covered scallops gave the savory texture that perfectly complemented the purée. Veal sandwich also showed me a side I normally don’t find with veal. Probably the largest portion but all were unique and special.

Fantastic place! Elegant atmosphere and down to earth staff. Food was superb! Exquisite scallops, superb veal cheeks, delicious baby octopus! And the same can be said about the desserts. Highly recommend that place

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Wonderful Experience at Clara!
We had a fantastic time dining at Clara in Barcelona. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautifully curated interior — elegant, cozy, and full of charm.
The service was exceptional. The staff was not only extremely courteous, but also very knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings. Every recommendation they made was spot on.
And the food? Simply outstanding. Every dish was prepared with care, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that quality and freshness are top priorities here.
If you’re in Barcelona and looking for a great dining experience, Clara is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Very good food and cozy place. We loved the anchovy toast with truffled butter.
We arrived for dinner at 8 pm and there was no one there - it was great, but when we left around 9.30 pm, it was too noisy. The prices are a bit high.
All the staff is super friendly.
