Boqueria

About

Boqueria in the Seaport is a lively, Barcelona-style tapas bar serving Spanish classics and market-driven seasonal specials in a warm, modern space on a storied red-brick block. Signature plates include sizzling gambas al ajillo, crisp croquetas, Catalan-style toasted bread rubbed with tomato and garlic, and showstopping paella. The charcuterie features Ibérico de Bellota from pure-bred black Iberian pigs that forage for acorns in Andalusia’s oak groves, including hand-carved jamón aged 48 months.

The restaurant changes with the day. Lunch draws waterfront wanderers, weekend brunch is festive, the bar fills with an after-work crowd sharing sangría and bar snacks, and dinner brings date nights and group celebrations. The wine list is exclusively Spanish, cocktails are curated, and a late-night bar menu is served. Shared tasting selections let a table sample guest favorites, one built around a paella and another that includes dessert.
