La VaraA-

268 Clinton St, Brooklyn, NY 11201 · Spanish restaurant, Restaurant · Cobble Hill

Inventive Spanish tapas with Moorish/Jewish influences, standout seafood and noodles, polished service, small portions and premium pricing; excellent for adventurous diners, less ideal for big appetites or conservative palates.

Our take

La Vara delivers A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by standout dishes like pulpo, rossejat, and chocolate flan, paired with strong service attentiveness and knowledgeable wine guidance. The mostly consistent execution and charming neighborhood setting support reliable dining, though small portions and premium pricing prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. Best suited for adventurous sharers seeking inventive Spanish-Moorish cuisine.

One caveat: Portions are intentionally small; several guests left a bit hungry despite multiple dishes
