About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
Socarrat Paella Bar - Midtown East is now accepting reservations for both indoor and outdoor dining, weather permitting. In the case where we need to close due to inclement weather, we will contact you the day of your reservation. To book a table online for indoor dining, please select "standard seating".

Socarrat, the quintessence of the perfect paella and for which the restaurant is named, is the delectable, sensuous crust that forms on the bottom of the paella pan when the liquid is rendered and the rice reaches its peak of succulence. The menu, an authentic array of delicious dishes from the regions of Spain specializing in traditional tapas with an accent on paella and fideua (which substitutes fried noodles for rice) that can be characterized as a true exploration for the palette.

Our Midtown location, the most recent addition to the Socarrat family, displays a lively atmosphere that is perfect for small and big groups alike. Book your next party in our private dining room!

    First, the food is always excellent. The tapas are perfect and the paella great. This is our second time at this location -- we've dined in the Nolita one as well -- and every time seems better than the last. THAT SAID . . . what was particularly wonderful this evening was the service. At every step of the way, we felt taken care of. It was great food and a great evening. Thanks.

    Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for being a returning guest! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed both the food and service — especially that this visit felt even better than the last. That means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another memorable evening! Warm regards, Socarrat Management
