Boqueria restaurants were inspired by the best tapas bars in Barcelona. Bars such as Xampanyet, Vinya del Senor, Ciudad Condal and others where one can go at any time of night for a beer, glass of wine, and perhaps the best fast food known to man are institutions in a city known for its devotion to epicurean delights. At Barcelona's famous Boqueria market, stalls such as Pinotxo, Quim de la Boqueria and Kiosko Universal take the concept up a notch and serve the best of the market everyday to an eager mix of chefs, shoppers and tourists. Boqueria restaurants offer New Yorkers the chance to dine as they would at these bars without ever leaving town.
Boqueria chefs offer a wide variety of "market fresh" specials offering a typically Spanish take on the best of the week's market, in addition to our everyday menu of perennial favorites such as "Datiles con Beicon", "Patatas Bravas", and other tapas. Boqueria works closely with local farmers found at the Union Square Greenmarket in New York, the FRESHFARM Market in Washington DC and the McLean Farmers Market in Virginia to source seasonal local products for their Market Menus. The fresh fruits and vegetables sourced from Berried Treasures Farms (New York), Eckerton Hill Farm (Pennsylvania) Leeds Town Farm (Westmoreland County), Westmoreland Berry Farm (Virginia), and many more, provide the chefs with a continuous and vital source of inspiration.
