Boqueria can cater your next event! Boqueria Soho offers the same regional Spanish cuisine as its sister property in Chelsea. Reminiscent of the bars and "cervezerias" of Barcelona and the Boqueria market, Boqueria Soho will be open daily from 8 a.m. to midnight, offering breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, as well as Spanish products, cured meats and cheeses to enjoy in-house or to take-out.

The open kitchen, surrounded by a 12-seat chef's counter available for walk-ins only, is the focal point of Boqueria Soho's 70-seat dining room. The kitchen counter features a glass-enclosed case for guests to choose the market-fresh fish and seafood they want, which are then given directly to the cooks by the "kitchen bartender" and prepared to-order immediately.

The original 19th Street Boqueria was a perfect storm of scene, space, and food; the question about this larger Soho space was whether it would capture the same magic. Judging by the crowds, it does. As at the original, a long bar fills up quickly with both locals and tourists drinking the restaurant's famous sangria and gobbling up small plates of ham, olives, and and other elemental Spanish flavors. Farther along, the restaurant expands into a long corridor of blonde wood and communal tables, culminating in a bustling open kitchen where chef Seamus Mullen's more complex composed dishes are prepared. The food, as it is uptown, is unique, assertive, and highlighted by trophy ingredients: Don't miss the heritage suckling pig, the Ossabow charcuterie, or the compulsively edible paella.
