About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
A neighborhood favorite since 2012, Boqueria brings the lively spirit of Barcelona’s tapas culture to Washington DC’s historic Dupont Circle. Just steps from the Dupont Circle Metro, The Phillips Collection, and the Heurich House Museum, it’s one of Washington’s favorite spots for brunch and happy hour—and the perfect place for a night of tapas with friends or a romantic dinner.

Guests share classic tapas like garlic shrimp, pan con tomate, and crispy patatas bravas—paired with signature paellas, seasonal sangrías, and a curated list of Spanish wines and handcrafted cocktails. The warm, contemporary space hums with energy from day to night.

Parties of 6 or more at dinner enjoy our Classic Chef's Tasting Menu.

    It's not really tapas. The portions are large and expensive. Things are brought out together, and one dish gets cold. Then you have to wait 20 minutes for another. Not many choices. Won't be going back.

    Asked them to move us as we were right beside speaker and they did not even when there were open tables. It was too loud could not hear each other. And they forgot one of our orders.

    We were truly surprised the quality of the food. We had jamón de bellota, ham croquetas, picanha and valdeon cheese plate - delicious! The service was also great; Francheska took great care of us! Totally recommended.

    The food was all excellent except the paella. The paella lack seasoning disappointing. Otherwise excellent food. Loved the patatas brava crispy with great spice level. The carrots and Brussels sprouts were also great. The chorizo and meatballs all excellent wine list small but reasonable wines that are great.
