Boqueria

Editorial Review

Loud, happy, tapas-esque enviro with communal table, jumping bar, and free-flowing bloody Spanish red. And yet: the first chef's name was Seamus, the owner's French, and the best things come on big plates. Apple mash potatoes and breaded skate wings, suckling pig fulfills city's collective pork orgasm. Paella, made right Valencia-style with slightly crunchy Calasparra rice, chicken on the bone, shellfish, and spicy sausage, is where it's at.
