About CLARA

Tucked into a 1950s villa in Chong Nonsi, CLARA strips the stiffness out of milestone dining with quiet *sprezzatura*. Tables sit generously apart amid sculpture gardens and airy gallery walls—more like dinner at an architect’s private estate than a formal dining room. Regulars head here for Chef Christian’s Italian tasting menus layered with Japanese accents: dashi-poached black cod, nori pesto gnocchi, and slow-charred Wagyu short ribs. On the floor, Clara checks every table herself, timing pours of malolactic-fermented sake alongside chilled house chocolate liqueur.

  • Art-Gallery Villa Setting: Housed in a converted gallery villa with lush sculpture gardens and widely spaced seating that insulates diners from city bustle.
  • Italian-Japanese Nuance: Chef Christian weaves Japanese ingredients into contemporary Italian tasting menus, pairing dashi with black cod and nori with pesto gnocchi.
  • Owner-Led Hospitality: Namesake host Clara guides every table with gracious course introductions and thoughtful personal touches for milestone celebrations.
  • Inventive Drink Pairings: Unpretentious pairings span cellar vintages, malolactic-fermented sake, and signature housemade chocolate liqueur.
