Editorial Review

Name means "market" in Catalan, limiting pretense. Wood tables, white subway tiles, peach-colored brick. Solid Spanish wine selection at lively bar in front. Seared and savory small plates, no shortage of olive oil. Sophisticated combos, potato and eggs gets its own bed of morels, chanterelles, and black trumpets. Addictive braised pork belly unexpectedly synchs with dried cherries. Open kitchen in back, so you can watch chefs finish their shifts with hits of wine off the porrón.
