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.

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.)

Excellent Tartare de saumon. Très bon service.

Le tartare de saumon, plat souvent révélateur du soin qu'un établissement porte à sa cuisine, s'est avéré tristement quelconque. Peu assaisonné, sans relief, il était flanqué de nachos industriels - un accompagnement paresseux - & d'une salade mesclun fanée, comme sortie d'un sac oublié au fond du frigo. Aucun souci d'élégance ni de fraîcheur.

La blanquette de veau, pourtant un classique réconfortant, s'en est un peu mieux tirée… jusqu'à ce que l'assiette arrive. Un seul petit morceau de viande, esseulé au milieu d'un monticule de riz trop cuit & plusieurs champignons qui se voulaient d'apparence de morceaux de viande: de quoi faire rougir d'embarras n'importe quel cuisinier soucieux de son métier. Il a fallu renvoyer le plat, ce qui devrait être l'exception, pas la norme.

On ressort de là avec une impression troublante : celle qu'on prend les clients pour des valises - payeurs dociles de plats tièdes & de promesses creuses. Faut-il croire que le palais montréalais s'est résigné à la médiocrité servie à prix fort ? Espérons que non.
