Boqueria Tapas Bar and Restaurant

Boqueria Tapas Bar and Restaurant brings a bit of Barcelona to Boston’s Seaport, serving Spanish tapas, craft cocktails, sangría, imported wines and seasonal dishes. Classic tapas like jamón ibérico, tortilla, croquetas and paella share the menu with dishes such as crispy potatoes with salsa brava, fire-roasted eggplant with labne yogurt, and yellow-fin tuna in a cilantro-lime aguachile. The restaurant pitches itself as a stylish tapas experience for all day, any day, from casual meals to celebrations and group dining.

Events are a major part of the business. Boqueria hosts seated dinners and cocktail receptions, and groups can book half or full buyouts of the restaurant. Event options are meant as a break from the same-old dinner, ranging from paella for 50 to a cocktail-making class. Brunch is also on offer, and menus vary slightly from one Boqueria location to another.
