About Boqueria®

Boqueria is a neighborhood tapas bar inspired by the buzzy kiosks around El Mercado de la Boqueria, Barcelona's famous food market. Since our first restaurant opened on 19th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron district in 2006, our open kitchens have turned out classic Spanish tapas and seasonal small plates made for sharing. We're rooted in tradition, but we're not traditional. Today you'll find Boqueria in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Nashville, Boston, West Hartford and Atlanta.
