Bazar Tapas Restaurant and Bar – A TASTY TIME THROUGH SPAIN
If you find yourself meandering through thickly scented aromatic and sun-bathed Spanish streets this summer, chances are you are either in Spain – or above Madison Square Park at Bazar Tapas. With authentic bites, divine wines, themed fiestas and a sleek setting, it’s time to try your favorite new tapas spot.
Located in the vibrant Nomad area, Bazar Tapas is a neighborhood gem located on 26th street in Flatiron. Fall in love at first bite at this welcoming restaurant where guests are invited into an intimate space with a charming industrial interior and an array of contemporary and shareable tapas to tantalize your tastebuds. Unwind at the bar with its exposed brick wall decorated with wine bottles and an extensive wine list offering renowned global regions, such as the 2019 Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza and Marques de Caceres Brut Spanish Cava. Looking to enjoy a more romantic evening? Set the mouthwatering mood with the blue gin-based Genie in A Bottle or move on to the Lovers Poison with the intoxicating aroma of hibiscus cinnamon-infused mezcal.
Serving up a scrumptious brunch, lunch and dinner, Bazar was imagined by owner Ladia Kulisek, and Executive Chef Manuel Mejia brings classic yet innovative Spanish staples to the neighborhood. Think classic Paella Del Mar with fresh assortments of shrimp, scallops and monkfish that comes in a whopping five-pound serving, and a special Brunch Paella cooked with sunny-side up eggs in saffron and lobster broth. Delectable tapas will keep coming your way, so be
ready to indulge in the drool-worthy and extra garlicky Gambas Al Ajillo, their Sesame Crusted Tuna dipped in ponzu and sriracha aioli, crispy Brussels Sprouts drenched in balsamic and Manchego cheese and roasted beef bone marrow complemented by the kick of jalapeños.
In true Spanish fashion, a good meal is never consummated without a little fiesta. At Bazar Tapas, you can seize the day – or more importantly – the night, on Live Music Fridays. They also offer happy hour every day at the bustling bar. Sit back, relax and as the Spaniards so often say, Vale!
