Coming Soon to Seaport: Boqueria

Spanish cuisine in the form of Dinner, Brunch, and Lunch

What began as a casual tapas bar at the heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron neighborhood in 2006 has since multiplied across the Big Apple with three other locations, and now, its first outpost arrives in Boston. Set to open in the Seaport mid-month, the Barcelona-inspired tapas bar will serve its specialty paella — the signature being paella de mariscos, saffron-laced bomba rice topped with fresh squid, head-on shrimp, clams, and mussels — as well as all-day tapas like pan con tomate (grilled bread rubbed with tomato, garlic, and olive oil), pulpo a la plancha (grilled octopus) and gambas al ajillo (shrimp cooked in chili-laced olive oil and garlic). Chef Arturo Gonzalez, previously of Boqueria’s SoHo location in NYC, will be opening the restaurant and updating the menu quarterly. “We’re excited about being part of the Seaport’s growth. It’s a vibrant area, and we’re joining a restaurant scene that already has top-notch culinary talent, so we know guests will be discerning and we’ve got to get it right,” shared Boqueria’s founder and CEO Yann de Rochefort, whose wife is from the area so felt Boston was the best place to open Boqueria’s latest location. Eventually, Boqueria will add brunch service, serving signature Spanish breakfast treats and as an exclusive to its Boston locale: a shareable sangria tower.
