Chicken liver agnolotti, devil's food cake, and a wine list
"A buzzy European-inspired restaurant and wine bar, Claud feels like the cozy-yet-chic East Village apartment of your chef friends who don’t make a big deal about how talented they are. The menu changes seasonally, but if they're available, make sure you order the razor clams, tomato mille-feuille, and swordfish au poivre. Finish with a dish of ice cream and the devil’s food cake for two." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
"Opened in 2022 and initially billed as a wine bar, this spot functions as a restaurant that has become known for dishes like its chicken, sizzling shrimp, and chocolate layer cake. The project is one of a trio from chefs/operators Chase Sinzer and Joshua Pinsky, whose neighborhood successes have earned heaps of accolades and helped create strong local demand." - Emma Orlow
"The half-chicken is a standout — juicy, deeply savory, dressed with lovage and finished with a shower of pickles that adds briny lift without overwhelming the meat. The dish pairs well with the housemade bread, and you may want to leave room for the restaurant's famous slice of chocolate cake." - Eater Staff
"An Eater Award winner for 2022, Claud is considered by some to be a wine bar in honor of its knockout wine list, and a restaurant by others who are smitten with its menu. Co-owners who met at Momofuku Ko, Chase Sinzer, in charge of wine, and chef Joshua Pinsky put together a crowd-pleaser, serving dishes like luxe chicken with foie drippings, pillowy chicken liver agnolotti, and juicy red rock shrimp. Don’t skip the devil’s food cake, a whopping slice made for two that’s is really worth all of its likes and shares. Also consider its upstairs seafood sibling, Penny." - Robert Sietsema
"One of the city’s more ambitious French wine bars right now is still Claud. Hidden downstairs in a commercial strip in the East Village, the food is so good, it nearly overshadows the wine. Glasses of wine, half of them French, are in the $13 to $32 range and change periodically, boasting a cellar of up to 1,000 bottles. Look for dishes like soft shell crab fritters, striped bass with razor clams, and the famous devil’s food cake for two." - Melissa McCart
