Looking for a lively tapas bar to meet up with friends for a drink after work, a light lunch or evening meal, or a quick snack while out shopping? Then you might want to check out Boqueria, a popular tapas bar and restaurant located at Jakobsbergsgatan 17, in the Mood gallerian in Stockholm’s Ostermalm neighborhood.
Boqueria actually consists of two separate areas, each with their own focus. The restaurant is more of a traditional eatery and tapas bar with lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch available. The second area, which they call the square, aims to be a miniature marketplace and take away meal service during the day while turning into an after-work bar and club after 17:00. Both have their own menus with the square featuring a set but limited weekday lunch menu with a few pintxos, and the restaurant offering its own set menu but with a number of tapas and raciones available as well. The restaurant’s dinner menu consists of a fairly wide selection of starters, tapas and raciones, while the weekend brunch menu features snacks, including charcuteries and cheese, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and a variety of egg, meat, fish and vegetable dishes, along with desserts. The venue also offers a fairly extensive list of wines, champagnes and cavas, and sherry, and specially made cocktails, gin and tonic drinks, and non-alcoholic lemonades are available at the bar.
Prices are what you might expect for this area of the city and can be a bit high, but the food and drink are good, the atmosphere open and friendly, and the location convenient . So stop by and see what everyone is talking about!
