La Boqueria, an all-day eatery in Jozi, has just opened \u2212 and takes its inspiration from iconic food markets, such as London\u2019s Borough Market and Barcelona\u2019s La Boqueria on Las Ramblas. From the team that brought you Frankie IIII Fingers beer and local favourite, The Foundry, in Parktown North, just a few doors down the road is La Boqueria.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The menu is mostly Spanish, but darts from one corner of the globe to another to encapsulate delicious market-style food; all of the dishes are about sharing and feasting. The focus is on traditional styles of cooking, (using skillets, wood ovens and live-fires) for a real food experience. The term \u2018eat with your eyes first\u2019 definitely applies here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The lunch and dinner menu runs the gauntlet from healthy (Peruvian ceviche) to fried (street food style finger food such as Samosas, Bhajis and Patatas Bravas) and more. The Paellas are slow- cooked, in a traditional hearth for a delicious, smoky flavour. Some of the highlights from the Coals menu are the 500g rib-eye on the bone and the Whole Fish Talay but don\u2019t leave without trying the Kabobs \u2013 lamb, chicken, beef or pork belly \u2013 skewered, marinated overnight and grilled on the coals to maximise the flavour. For dessert, take your pick from Churros, GinTonic Tart, Whoopie Pie and more street sweets.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The d\u00e9cor takes inspiration from the mid-century with a warm colour palette, a mix of wooden furniture, and cabinetry behind the bar, used as display units. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The \u00fcber-cool d\u00e9cor features are undoubtedly the salvaged 1950s orange post-boxes and Lady Boqueria, a 6 meter high mural of a Spanish torero, who watches over the whole space. At once cosy and welcoming, the space has different sections: tables and booths, a dedicated bar area and the upstairs where you can hide away or have a private function.<\/span><\/p>\n

The floor-to-ceiling windows mean that the space is sun-drenched for most of the day and still gives you the feeling of sidewalk eating into the evening, much loved throughout The Parks. The outside veranda with its pergola and fireplace in the corner is a fabulous all-year-round spot to while away your time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bar focuses on some of best small and boutique South African wine farms \u2013 with an emphasis on natural and biodynamic wines. An ever-changing weekly small batch wine list champions up-and-coming winemakers, but there are other tipples and aperitifs to take your fancy.<\/span><\/p>\n
