ABOUT US:

Boqueria is one of the leading Spanish tapas restaurant groups on the East Coast, with seven locations spread throughout NYC, Washington DC, and Chicago, and an eighth to open in Nashville in Spring 2021. Boqueria is a lively tapas bar, inspired by the buzzy atmosphere and great food of the Barcelona “Kioskos” that surround the renowned food market “El Mercado de la Boqueria” such as the famed Bar Pinotxo. At Boqueria, the open kitchens—helmed by Executive Chef Marc Vidal—turn out tempting versions of classic Spanish tapas and small plates inspired by the season’s best products. Designed for easy sharing, Boqueria has become a go-to destination for friends, family and co-workers to connect over the sharing spirit of tapas and Spanish food.
