Bonsoir Clara
Who is Clara? Is she a secret love? A mother? A girlfriend? A
sister? A granddaughter? Everybody has an idea depending on
their imagination and mood. But Clara is also the story of a restaurant,
serving good food, that’s located in the heart of Brussels.
Bonsoir Clara’s minimalist interior uses striking decoration. On
two walls are stained-glass panels throwing off brilliant colours
and on another wall hangs a beautiful patchwork tapestry. The
menu offers delicacies such as sole stuffed with mushrooms,
spinach, cream and crayfi sh, and chocolate cake with cashew
nuts, saffron and honey. You’ll be seduced as much by the bold
interior as the marvellous cuisine.
