Estragon Tapas Bar: your slice of Spain in the South End. Estragon is owned and operated by Julio de Haro and Lara Egger. Chef Julio was born and raised in Madrid and his cuisine reflects the fresh simplicity of traditional Spanish fare. Many of the dishes are family recipes, served straight from Abu Luisa's kitchen to your table. To complement Estragon's extensive tapas menu, you'll find a unique cocktail list featuring oft' forgotten classic cocktails, a selection of over twenty local and craft beers, and an all-Spanish wine list with more than 100 references spanning both the country's established and emerging wine regions. An evening at Estragon is unlike any other dining experience. The decor-- art deco meets vintage chic-- provides an inviting, sophisticated setting perfect for any occasion.

Tapas is my favorite out to eat meal. I was visiting friends in Boston and this was the first time I had been to this place. The food and the service was right up there with some of the best I have had in the world. I never felt rushed and our waiter was top notch. When I come back to Boston this will be one place I would like to come to again.

As always Estragon was delicious and so interesting in the selection of food. The drinks are amazing, as is the waitstaff, but particular kudos to Brian. He is a mainstay of the restaurant, great server and a lovely person. It's our neighborhood gem and we would be much poorer without it.

We love Estragon! The food is always, without exception, delicious, varied, authentic (of Spanish tapas cuisine) and abundant. And the environment is so very welcoming...the staff are attentive without being intrusive, very responsive and willing and able to make great suggestions when asked. I can't say enough great things about Estragon...you should go and experience it for yourself.

We were at Estragon Saturday, March 18, for our daughter's 15th birthday. It was also Restaurant Week. Our server was amazing, and the entire staff was so attentive - truly a team effort. The food was amazing, especially the chocolate mousse and churros for dessert. Loved our night there.

Truly wonderful evening at Estragon. We flew in from Raleigh for the weekend and are so happy that we discovered Estragon. Truly the perfect meal to start our weekend in Boston with. Our waiter was so lovely and shared his love of Boston with us and truly made us feel so welcome as everyone did. My daughter spent time living in Seville so having such great tapas at Estragon was a trip down memory lane. Fabulous cocktails too! After a busy week - that first sip of the Fig Old Fashioned with that amazing Serrano ham and manchego was the perfect pairing!! Gorgeous wall papers and great lighting with some great music in the background made for a lovely ambience! Thank you Estragon for such a warm welcome! Definitely looking forward to coming back when our daughter is living up here in the summer.
