With a bright yellow frontage and bistro-style curtains, Clara’s brightens up this area of East London.

A semi-private raised area at the back of the restaurant is ideal for group dining. This elevated section accommodates up to 20 guests across two tables of ten, providing a sense of exclusivity within the main restaurant. For larger celebrations or corporate entertaining, Clara’s also offers full venue hire, with a seated capacity of 52 or 80 standing, allowing for a varied range of events from seated dining to informal reception-style gatherings.
The private dining format at Clara’s makes use of the main menu’s sharer-style Mediterranean ethos, ensuring guests can sample a broad range of dishes. The menu at Clara's includes snacks and small plates such as duck croquettes, burrata with pesto, whipped cod’s roe and skewers with quail’s egg or chicken hearts, alongside larger dishes including gnocchi with pancetta, chorizo sausage with lentils, bavette steak and Iberian featherblade. Salads, sides and desserts such as tart tatin and chocolate torte complement the offering.
A dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu is also available, featuring delights such as Jerusalem artichoke with harissa and butter beans and gnocchi with pea, kale and Old Winchester cheese. Clara’s extensive drinks list enhances the private dining experience, with sparkling, white, rose and red wines offered by the bottle and by the glass, alongside soft drinks.
