La Clara, French restaurant in Place de la Mairie, Rennes, France
La Clara is a two-story restaurant with wooden interiors serving Mediterranean dishes and Spanish tapas in downtown Rennes. The space combines a dining area with an adjoining shop selling Spanish products from independent producers.
This establishment was founded in December 2015 by Claire, who studied at Rennes 2 University before working in commerce in Paris. Her background in both regions shaped her vision to bring Spanish cuisine and products to Brittany.
The walls display works by local artists, creating a space where people gather around Spanish and Mediterranean food. The selection of Spanish products available for purchase reflects a deep connection to Iberian culinary traditions.
The venue opens from 5 PM on weekday afternoons through Saturday evenings, and walk-in seating is available without reservations. Plan to arrive without prior booking and find a table when you arrive.
Visitors can purchase Spanish products from independent makers in the shop section and recreate the restaurant's dishes at home. This creates a direct link between the dining experience and home cooking.
