Load shedding brought me to this spot after wanting to try it after a very long time. The ambience is amazing and right up my alley - very modern Spanish inspired with open space, boutique lighting and a beautiful eco ambience with the foliage. We had a selection of tapas and most were good. The red meat ones (short rib and beef strips) weren’t bad but didn’t live up to my expectation or the level of the other tapas. Absolutely fantastic Waiter (Godfrey) - super professional, attentive and passionate about service and food. Definitely going again. Would love to check this place out for sundowners!
Excellent food and vibe! One of the best meals I’ve had in a while
Excellent service and a delicious food gem.
We visited La Boqueira for lunch over the weekend and it was a great experience, the food and service was great. They're reasonably priced as well for good quality, authentic food. We had their tapas, paella, churros and sorbet. All were delicious!
Great atmosphere, tapas are exceptional and mains overall were satisfying and flavorful. Extensive wine list and inviting bar area. Well worth a visit!
Loved everything right from the unique cocktails Mojito Fresca & Miss Deamenor to the dishes like Lamb empanada etc!! Will surely visit again!!
Ahhh-mazing! Great service! Fantastic setting! The food is to die for! We had the Chipotle Chicken (Smokey jalapeño and paprika thighs) with sweet potato. Really worth the hype. We’re definitely going back there soon!
We had dinner there recently and the service was excellent and the food as always outstanding! The waiters were efficient and very friendly and accommodating. A great experience as always
Love this spot, delicious food, great service, relaxed vibe! A great space to meet friends and family or for eventing @foodiewhippedsa @laboqueria
Great place(spanish), sharing meals were very delicious(Tapas). Would definitely recommend🔥Writing this makes me realise that I need to go back.
An absolutely outstanding experience. The food was just divine. Excellent atmosphere. Our waitress was so attentive and present throughout our sitting. She was so knowledgeable and gave me great recommendations for drinks. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very chilled and welcoming. Definitely a 5* experience
This restaurant has an amazing atmosphere and vibe to it. It gets busy very quickly so it is advisable to reserve a table. The decor is aesthetic and the facilities are clean. The staff here were friendly, however we did have to ask for our table to be cleared each time, since our waiter would just bring new stuff and leave. Most of the food was good and arrived quickly. The food is pricey, and I was disappointed with the seafood fideua as it was very fishy. The bread was also hard and didn't seem fresh.

We hosted my Mom's 60th Birthday party here and it was an amazing success.
The food really stood out. Every dish is different from your run of the mill set menu items, very tasty and added interest to the event as a whole because the food ultimately became a talking point amongst the guests. Everyone loved the food. We had a few guests with dietary requirements who were very well catered for. The menu was also more than reasonably priced.
The service was really good. From the moment I arrived with boxes of flowers and vases and an enormous cake. The staff rallied around to help and lend a hand. They did an outstanding job.
I put the function together from the other side of the world and this would not have gone so well without the help of the wonderful Suku! She was an absolute gem through this process.
The ambience in the restaurant is also amazing. The decor is very colourful and busy. There was a band playing in the restaurant which added a little touch of magic as well.
All round, a magical day. Thanks to a fabulous restaurant and a group of wonderful staff.
Thank you La Boqueria!
Best zucchini fries in town . The place get packed and busy but the atmosphere is worth it , parking is a bit of a hassle, Food and drinks were affordable and decent. I love it when restaurants incorporate plenty of plants inside and out . A definite must visit
I enjoyed the food but I cannot say the same for the guests I was with. One had to send their steak back due to there being to much fat and two others had to send their oxtail back due to it being to salty. My food was great even though the portion was smaller than I expected. The waiters are friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is nice but there was a live DJ their unnecessarily since the music he was playing was just basic lo-fi hip hop which could've just been played off my phone while we ate and still have had less repetitive beats than he was playing. The music was starting to irritate the people I was eating with and they even felt that it was too loud.
Lovely place, fantastic atmosphere, amazing food and wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Not cheap, but absolutely worth saving for.
Absolutely gorgeous venue. Love the repurposed pieces of furniture. 5 stars for the decor and design layout. The only thing that can be suggested is the outside seating area. The IBR roof is a heat trap, creating a sauna effect. The leather chairs and my dress pressed against each other was not comfortable as it got drenched. It was super uncomfortable. Maybe invest in the mist spray to cool your guests down. The service was good and the food was delicious.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner party here.
Atmosphere is lovely, staff are lovely. Food is really good.
On my hunt for the best Aperol Spritz and, unfortunately, it doesn’t go to La Boqueria because it was incredibly watered down, but luckily there is a myriad of other delicious things to drink ☺️
A nice place. Food is average. Waiters are a bit slow but friendly. Served us a seafood paella that was basically porridge. Manager was not too happy to remove it from the bill but at least the place is beautiful and nice for pictures.
It was an all round great experience. The food was bursting with different flavors. The service was on point. And it is an amazing restaurant to go to if you're celebrating a special occasion, they gave us a personalised card for our anniversary, simple but thoughtful gesture. Their cocktails are also sublime.
