Lightly blanched, chilled, cross-cut and deep-fried to order, they’ll be back on the menu from next week for you to try for yourself.

Wine has always been central to Claro, and we’re pleased to be sharing a limited collection of Riesling. 🍷

From 7 September, we’ll be opening a selection of German Rieslings from a private cellar, with vintages spanning 1997 to 2024 and styles ranging from dry and off-dry to semi-sweet and sweet, all available in 50ml pours.

They’re single bottles from a private collection, so once one is gone, it’s gone. Join us for a pour or two while they’re around.
