Review Summary

Le Clara, located within the Place des Arts complex, offers a stylish and quiet setting that many guests find ideal for pre-show dining, often highlighting the professional and attentive service provided by the staff. While numerous patrons praise the delicious food, creative menu, and excellent wine selection, others express frustration regarding limited vegetarian or vegan options and inconsistent portion sizes. Feedback on the culinary experience is polarized, with some diners celebrating the quality of dishes like the steak tartare, while others report disappointment with food preparation, ingredient freshness, and value for the price. Overall, the atmosphere and convenience make it a popular choice for theatergoers, though experiences vary significantly regarding the consistency of the meals and the kitchen's ability to accommodate specific dietary preferences.

Interesting presentations, but if you're hungry before showtime, we do Not recommend this Resto.
Dishes are barely a small'fistful of food', at most.

I completely agree with a previous diner, Françoise, you can almost count the grains.
Certainly not worth the $200 per couple bill.
&, later we too were hungry, & needed street food.

This restaurant was recommended by Place des Arts & is within the complex as we had tickets to show that evening. We got there a little early (around 5 pm) & lots of seating s available. Closer to show time the place was packed. Service was very good & quick. The menu was limited but good choices. Overall we were satisfied but not outstanding.

Plats intéresssants (e.g. salicorne, courgettes marinées) mais quantité minime, j'ai dû me rabattre sur du street food après car j'avais encore faim. J'avais pourtant pris 2 assiettes. Un risotto duquel on peut compter les grains de riz…

Aucun choix végétarien dans les plats principaux. Aucun accommodement possible de la part de la cuisine. On s'est rabattu sur les 2 entrées végétariennes & l'assiette de fromages. Des entrées correctes mais très peu généreuses.
De plus, le service a manqué de professionnalisme : nous nous serions volontiers passés des remarques moqueuses du serveur soulignant que le poivre ou le vin étaient végétariens. Très décevant de constater un tel manque d'ouverture & d'adaptation en 2026.

A surprising out-of-the-way gem of a restaurant nestled in the PLACE des ARTS CENTRE on the beautiful pedestrian mall section of Rue Sainte - Catherine.
A unique seating arrangement around a circular art display supplemented by terrific service & a superlative chef & kitchen producing distinct menu offerings. My STEAK TARTARE was a generous portion of lovely flavours as was the PAN-FRIED TROUT & CANDIED RATATOUILLE & served simply (no unnecessary sides) to highlight the dishes' excellence.
Lovely wine selections to compliment the most enjoyable dinner in this unique venue. What an enjoyable vacation'find' for us!!!!
SUGGESTION: confirm their hours with the restaurant. Their website states open for dinner 4:30 to 11:00 p.m (...&'According to the shows at Place des Art ) but as we walked in fairly late we were just a bit rushed as they closed that night at 8 p.m.)

Bien campé au coeur de la Place des arts, Le Clara se démarque par l'accueil de son personnel passionné & attentionné qui nous fait vivre une expérience des plus agréables dans un décor ravivé & tendance où il fait bon se détendre en couple ou entre amis.es avant un spectacle ou lors d'une sortie en ville. & que dire de son menu bien diversifié qui offre des plats savoureux & équilibrés pour tous les goûts, accompagnés d'excellents cocktails, mocktails ou vins.

Accueil froid , courant d'air , menu fait pour un service rapide
bref tout est fait pour faire du chiffre sur le dos des clients pris en otage . Salade 28$ . Décevant mieux vaut manger à la maison avant un spectacle.
