Bazár Tapas Bar and Restaurant

Extremely delicious. I loved the way the octopus and short rib were cooked. I like my octopus soft inside and crispy outside. It was perfect. The short rib, oh my goodness! Tender! That wild mushroom mousse pairs well with the potatoes and spinach on the short rib. For starters, we had the pan con tomate and burrata pomodoro. At first, we thought we ordered too many bread options, but I couldn’t complain. The pan con tomate pairs well with the burrata and is great for mopping up all the sauces. Truly amazing. The truffle croquettes were exquisite, and the steak bites were so juicy and delicious. However, the chimichurri was thicker than I prefer. I like mine looser, sauce-like, but I still enjoyed it. After having all the steak, I honestly wanted more bread to finish the chimichurri sauce since it was all at the bottom, but I think I had enough bread at that point. In the end, the passionfruit flan was chefs kiss. It reminded me of a tres leches even though it wasn't. Ha. The traditional red sangria was delicious. It wasn't as sweet, since I hate sweet sangria. All in all, I’m coming back. Thanks to our server, Liliana, I believe her name was. I’ll be back!

Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant – A Delicious Surprise in NYC Bazár Tapas Bar and Restaurant was a wonderful and unexpected find after our Thanksgiving trip to New York City. We were a little disappointed to discover that Chelsea Market was closed, but while walking around the area, we stumbled upon this place—and we are so glad we did. We absolutely do not regret it. We ordered the lobster mac & cheese croquettes, the gambas al ajillo, and the bone marrow, and every single dish was delicious. Each bite was full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and truly top-notch cuisine. Everything we tried was incredibly tasty and beautifully executed. Whether you’re looking for a nice sit-down dinner or just a quick bite, this place is perfect. I highly recommend Bazár for anyone looking for exceptional food in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

Bazár is a great restaurant for a weekend brunch - the food is both hearty portions and delicious! I enjoyed this meal with my friends and our server Carol was an absolute sweetheart. She was attentive and kind throughout the experience! Would definitely return! We had the brunch paella, which was delicious

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this tapas restaurant. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. The decor was nicely prepared for Halloween. We tried a variety of dishes with the Gambas al Ajillo and the Paella Valenciana are favorites. We also enjoyed two desserts, the Chocolate Heaven and the Passion Fruit Flan.

Cute bistro serving great food. We really enjoyed everything we ordered: root salad, roasted cauliflower, octopus, and salmon. The serving sizes are quite substantial for tapas style.

My friends and I went on a Thursday night, which happened to be karaoke night. The food and drinks were amazing, service was great, and karaoke host was awesome! Even our fellow patrons were lovely. We all cheered for and supported each other when singing. It was an overall lovely experience and my friends and I will definitely be going back!

We loved it! Food and drinks were amazing. Im spanish and I can say they have amazing Spanish food

This place is so outrageously overpriced for what it is. ONE crab cake the size of my palm for $22 is genuinely crazy when it tasted average at best. The drinks were great and service was good as well but the food is so so so overpriced you can absolutely get compared tapas in a better ambience for a better price elsewhere in the city.

Karol was amazing! The food was AMAZING. drinks were amazing! Bathrooms were clean I'm def returning We ordered the oysters, kale salad, grilled octopus, quinoa salad, tuna tartar, lamb chomps, chicken, and chocolate mousse. The food was DELICIOUS

Tapas bar in the Flatiron area. Honestly, I expecting the food to be better. Ordered the Watermelon Salad, Lamb Chops, Beef Tapas and Gambas Al Ajillo and thought everything was okay. Definitely very pricey.

The food was delicious, but the service left much to be desired. We were told we could only choose between two high-top tables at the front. I would have preferred a regular table in the back, especially since we were there for dinner, not happy hour. Because we were seated in the front, our "host" was also acting as the our waitress, which made the service feel disorganized and inattentive. We ordered the paella, and there was a sign in the restaurant clearly stating "Paella 25% off Sunday & Monday." However, our "waitress" told us the discount couldn't be applied because, according to her, the special only starts after 7pm. That information is incorrect -- the restaurant's own listing on OpenTable clearly advertises the paella special as running from 4:30-6:30pm, and we were at the restaurant well before 6:30pm. Overall, while the food was excellent, the service was disappointing and took away from the experience.

The tapas were great and nice selection of items. We had 2 paellas - Del Mar and Valenciana. While they tasted good and had good ingredients, there were no socarrat. They also have lots of interesting cocktails. The waiter was attentive and very nice.

I visit New York once a year and always make a point to eat at Bazar. The patatas bravas are a favorite! The service is good and the prices are very reasonable. I'll be back next year.

Had an 8pm Valentine's Day reservation and somehow still waited TWO HOURS outside with everyone else who also had reservations. So... what's the point? Brought a date here because I'd been to Bazar Tapas and Restaurant before and liked it. Huge mistake. Nothing kills the vibe like freezing on the sidewalk while staff shrugs. And after all that? The food sucked. Overpriced, rushed, and wildly underwhelming. No apology, no accountability, just chaos. If you can't honor reservations, don't take them. Won't be back

My girlfriends took me here for my birthday celebration. It was our first time at this restaurant. The place has a bar like atmosphere. Our server was great, but she convinced us to order the Paella del Mar with an addition $15 for squid ink because there's more Monkfish in it. My girlfriends were disappointed to find there were only 2 pieces in the entire pan. Our server gave us 3 shots to make up for it. The drinks and dishes were delicious, but due to their disappointment, they are not interested in coming back for more...

We are in New York. Enjoying some tapas with friends. This place was a mile and a half from the hotel and had some great food. Small little nook along the road. We passed a lot of food to get here and it was worth it. They immediately sat us for our reservation.

Visited Bazar on 26th Street after a local event on a Thursday evening. We were a group of four and walked in around 9pm, seated right away. I've been here before for wine and tapas (they have a good happy hour), but this time we got cocktails and a few appetizers to share. For drinks, we tried the Flat Iron (their spicy margarita), which had a great flavor but was very spicy, too spicy for me to order a second. The Passion Martini and the French Martini (Chambord and pineapple) were both enjoyable, perhaps on the sweeter side. Overall, the cocktail menu had a bunch of options. For food, we ordered the patatas bravas, which had good flavor but came with a lot of cheese and a smaller portion than expected. The mushroom croquettes with truffle aioli were tasty but pricey (three for $18). The Brussels sprouts, with bacon, manchego, and balsamic, were delicious, though very heavily seasoned. Good for sharing. The staff was friendly, attentive, and our drinks and food came out quickly. It wasn't packed, but there was still a nice buzz in the room (it was also a particularly cold December night). Overall, Bazar is a solid spot for a group meal, cocktails, or a quick bite if you're in the area. I've been before and would definitely go back.

Located in the heart of Midtown, Bazar Tapas Bar and Restaurant serves up a variety of tapas. They have a diverse menu so you can certainly find something you like. Good service and nice ambiance. They also offer a bottomless menu for $45 which includes an entree! The drinks include mimosas, bellinis, and bloody marys

Nice place, good service but food meh. A couple of my friends and I went on a Thursday night, good vibe and seatings were comfortable. However on the food Wild Mushroom Croquettes was the only delicious dish among what we ordered that night! The Pommes Frites and Quinoa Salad was okay. Pan Con Tomate really just meh and to our surprise the Patata's Bravas was disappointing. Gambas Al Aiilo (garlic tiger shrimp) probably would have been good if it was't waaay too salty! I want to like this place but I won't be coming back as there are other solid tapas joints in the city.

This place was popping when I came on a Thursday night! My friends and I were seated at the bar. We were waiting for a table but they prioritized reservations (which makes sense). we saw an opening at 7:45 pm online but then it somehow disappeared... anyways here's what we ordered: - Aperol spritz - Margarita - passion fruit Martini - this was filled to the top and was strong/fruity. I enjoyed - Gambas: good flavor, super hot when it came out - croquettes: I loved the sauce and this was my favorite dish we ordered - lobster mac and cheese: this was good but not worth $29 in my opinion - brussel sprouts: I love brussel sprouts so I enjoyed this a lot! There are little pieces of bacon too - bazar patatas: also really good Overall, everything was good and this place is a vibe. The food came out so fast too, I was surprised. Tapas are great for sharing and drinks are strong.

We ordered oysters during happy hour. They were very fresh and tasted great. We also tried tapas like bone marrow, truffle fries, octopus and brussel sprouts which were all good. But the paella Del Mar was very dry. The fish was overcooked . They probably should put more broth in my opinion.

Starving and in immediate need of food we came here! It was near our hotel. We were seated promptly and the server/hostess was friendly. Hence the 2 stars for! We didnt like our food or drinks. My shrimp seemed raw and didn't look done or like the pics of other diners. We also didnt like the drinks. Wouldn't return.

Made a quick trip to Manhattan and we decided we needed Tapas in our life so to Bazar we went. Loved the ambiance, live music with a girl from Florida (she sang some Pink and I am a sucker for that Pink!) Anyway our waitress Juliana was outstanding, she was attentive, witty and made some excellent suggestions. We enjoyed the Tuna Tostada, some Chicharron Tapas and a few drinks. Great place to stop by when in the Chelsea area.

Nice spot that seems to be a place for locals. The bartender was very attentive to everyone at the bar and I even saw him dancing a few times with his customers.....lol! The fries were great!!! The sauce that they serve with the truffle fries is top notch! I came here specifically for this item on the menu and they didn't disappoint! I'll definitely visit this place when I'm in the area.

Changing this from what I would have called a 3.5 review to 2 stars based on interactions from the manager on this platform since my review. I would have been open to trying the place again and seeing if the experience was better but I would no longer do that since his unsolicited responses are now part of my experience with this business.

Went for bottomless brunch - yummy food and good drinks! Our server Karol was also very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!

When I booked this place, I thought it was located in Chelsea for some reason but it's actually Flat Iron. Love the neighborhood either way. It was pretty quiet on a Monday evening. The lighting was on the dimmer side. I got a table by the window. Our server was nice and answered our questions about how many tapas to get for two people. We ended up getting a seafood paella and 3 tapas, mostly seafood themed. The paella was so good with a layer of crispy rice on top and lots of seafood. It started filling up more by the time we left and the music got louder as well.

SENSATIONAL! the best octopus I think I've had. The size was definitely worth the price. The ambiance was really cute small and quiet, It was the start of happy hour so not too many people dining the service was impeccable! Will definitely be back my next trip to New York.

Amazing Tapas and atmosphere, service was good and price was reasonable. Great spot for date night.

Came here with a friend after a networking event in the neighborhood. I knew nothing about this tapas place. The ambiance is very charming. The servers were friendly and helpful. We got desserts, coffee and tea so I cannot comment on the tapas. But the desserts were large in portion and very good.

Staff was so kind and food was delicious! A nice and cozy environment for a cold winter day. Just expect it to get $$ quickly - as you need numerous tapas/dishes to get full (as expected).

A decadent and wild ride for your taste buds. Located in the relatively new Ritz Hotel this high end fancy restaurant does not disappoint, but it is pricey. Next time I would do the tasting menu, believe it or not you would save on it if you have multiple people, because a lot of the apps are priced per person. If you have the means, the food and service is exquisite. From the aged Jambon, to the foie gras wrapped in candy close nothing disappointed. One of the stars of the show was the pork steak entree. In my opinion, not to be missed. Every bite melted in your mouth. The wine expert guided us to a fantastic bottle for a very reasonable price. All in all a once in a blue moon treat! Well done

Cute little tapas place on the west side! Great for sharing, tons of seafood options, but a lot of meat options as well. Sauces were incredible and the octopus was my favorite. Solid portion sizes and great service! Would definitely go back

Food was outstanding! I rarely say that. Half full restaurant. A bit pricey. Good Spanish wine list. Fri night 9:30pm, I got out of an event in the neighborhood & was looking for dinner. I walked in. There wasn't anyone seated in the front. The back was full of young people. I ordered the mushroom croquettas- outstanding! 1 lamb chop - also outstanding. Gamba al ajillo - tasty but a little too oily for me. Flan was amazing! Good was terrific! This place should have bigger crowds.

On our second day of our NYC trip we wanted to try a tapas restaurant and I'm so shocked how bad the food was :( It was ridiculously overpriced food with no flavor and not one item we liked. I truly don't understand the high reviews and are sad we wasted dinner in nyc on such a mid restaurant

This restaurant serves amazing tapas and drinks, and has very good service. Every tapa I tried had incredible flavor.

Fantastic food and great drinks in this little restaurant with great atmosphere! Trying to find a new restaurant in neighborhood to add to our standard repertoire. Short rib was melt in your mouth...crispy pork belly in bean sauce was sopped up with great toasted bread...sangria did not disappoint!

Excellent food and warm friendly servers My fav were Tuna Tostadas and Brussels Sprouts

Food and service were amazing! Everything was super fresh and authentic. Not your run of the mill Spanish menu. Drinks were really good too!

I came here with a group of 10 with a reservation, and had a great experience! The service was great, and the food came out pretty quickly (other than the paella which takes longer), and there were some really good items. Watch out for the 3% surcharge when paying with card (the menu prices listed include a 3% cash discount). Great, would get again - Scallops ($23): This dish is pricey, but the scallops are flawless. They are huge, perfectly cooked, and have great flavor. - Octopus ($27): I really liked the cook on this octopus. It was crispy on the outside but very tender on the inside. - Bone marrow ($19): The bone marrow is bursting with savory flavor and has great texture. Good, might get again - Wild mushroom croquettes ($17): These were very popular with the group. - Paella del mar ($78): This certainly has the most premium seafood items I've ever seen in a paella (and also the most expensive pricetag). The octopus is excellent. The other seafood is a bit overcooked relative to their non-paella counterparts (eg the scallop, shrimp, and mussels). The rice flavor is mostly tomato, so it's not my favorite in terms of rice flavor. The rice is a bit al dente. Wouldn't get again - Brussels sprouts ($17): Mostly sweet flavor, not crispy. - Gambas al ajillo ($22): Only 6 shrimp, very little flavor, not great shrimp texture. - Patatas bravas ($16): The potato wasn't very crispy. - Tuna tostada ($19): Pretty forgettable. - Wild mushrooms ($18): Lacking flavor. - Mussels ($19): Too sour. - Cauliflower ($16): Lacking flavor. Overall I thought some items were misses/lacking in flavor, but some of the dishes were really nice. I would probably choose Boqueria over this place, but there are some dishes that Bazar does better. There are some tapas places that require a prix fixe menu (starting at $65pp) for groups of 10+, so I appreciated that we were able to order a la carte and keep the total (including tax and tip) under $65pp.

We love tapas, so we decided to check it out for brunch. It was still early Sunday morning, so the inside was not that busy. They had a live music going on, which was nice. The restaurant got busier as the time went on. We decided to start off our brunch with a cocktail. We ordered Tiki Punch and Genie in a Bottle. They were both really good, strong and flavorful. We ordered two tapas to share, plus a main dish. The first tapas of choice was Char-Grilled Octopus. It came piping hot, and a good large size, enough to share between the two of us. The second dish was Wild Mushroom Croquettes with Truffle aioli. They were very crispy and crunchy on the outside, and very moist and creamy in the inside. Excellent! The main dish had to be a paella! We were thinking of the traditional paella, with seafood, but then, my curiosity went for the Brunch Paella. I thought, why not get something we can only get during the brunch hours??? So, that is what we did. Brunch Paella is made with Shrimp, chorizo, scallions, sunny side up eggs in saffron & lobster broth. doesn't that sound just amazing? The paella was HUGE! It was packed with generous amount of ingredients. Plump chorizo and shrimp, and shocking six eggs!!! It sure would be enough among four or more people. Every bite was delicious and delightful. We had a really nice brunch here. We really liked every dish we ordered, and drinks too. Service was kind and courteous. We would definitely go back again for more delicious tapas!

Super awesome and friendly wait staff that guide you through the food and drink menus! I came in around happy hour and ordered a yummy glass of wine (per the gentleman's suggestion) and dozen bluepoint oysters. It wasn't crowded since it was around 4 pm but I plan to be back again for the blue points special! Soooo yummy

I like this place for when you're note too hungry. The octopus is a favorite option of mine. The shrimp are good too but the portion is small. In general, the portions are pretty small bc it is tapas style, so be prepared for a bigger bill! I like their outdoor seating in summer, but for winter nights it's super Cozy (and dark) inside.

I booked the resy for Valentine's Day here and the food did not disappoint despite the holiday. I'm very particular about a paella dish and this shared one was well worth it. The rice was seasoned well there was a buttery like taste to it and they weren't shy about the amount of seafood on it. I was impressed with their prompt service , and more importantly I was happy they didn't have a prefix menu in comparison to a lot of places. They played some fun spanish music and I The vibe was intimate and chill. I would recommend if you're craving paella and a chill time in flatiron.

Lovely experience! Delicious food, Carol was a wonderful server, very attentive, personable, and helpful. Gave us a perfect wine recommendation for our dishes which made the whole experience that much better and tastier! If you're in the area don't pass up stopping here :)

Beautiful interior/ambiance, great portions, friendly service, tons of tapas and bigger dishes to select from. Knocking off a star because some of the food quality didn't match the price/description IMO. Went with a group of friends and ordered: -some bottle of Moet -wild mushroom croquettes -mixed olives -charcuterie board -Brussels sprouts (roasted) -scallops -12 oysters -pan con tomate -burrata pomodoro -shrimp tacos -stuffed piquillo peppers -few Moscow mules and few scotch drinks Standouts from what I tried were the croquettes + tacos + the chunky relish that came with the oysters. Skip the piquillo peppers and burrata (if you've had great burrata.) Was not very crowded on a Friday night which made for a more intimate dining experience and we were well taken care of throughout our dinner!

I absolutely loved going to Bazar Tapas. It's a great place to be at with sharable plates. I went as a party of 7 and the restaurant was very accommodating, which was nice especially since we made our reservation last minute. The food and ambiance was great. It was a little bit more on the loud side but I thought that was fun. Out of all the tapas we ordered, the mussels and octopus had to be my favorite. I will say, Iwas a little nervous when our large plate of paella came out since it was recommended for 2-3 people but it was perfect for our party for everyone to have a bite. We were also celebrating a birthday and the staff was very enthusiatic. They had played 50 Cent's In Da Club over the speakers. I'll definitely be back here again!

What a pleasant surprise of a stumble on! Local Bazar has wonderful cocktails and tapas but true stand out, come for the lobster Mac and cheese croquettes! And Carol - our server was friendly and an expert on the menu and guided our whole meal perfectly. We came here while killing time before a live music reservations and couldn't be happier with our experience.

We got seated immediately. Nice, romantic ambiance. The food was good but the waitress wasn't the best. We had to wait a lot for things and ask for the check. We were not checked on very often.

I check their social media even when I can't visit soon. The workers deliver exceptional customer care. This place maintains exceptional quality in all areas. This restaurant offers great vibes, cleanliness, and kind service. Our selection for our meal was perfect.

Good prices for what you get, friendly team and situated just right. The staff is awesome; friendly greeting and accomdating every request with a smile. This spot has earned loyalty from our whole family. Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant delivers quality across the board. The experience here is pure pleasure.

We sat outside with dogs on a beautiful day and that was lovely. However, they had a few people that excessively refill water but can't take your order or do anything else. A woman came to take our pictures - we thought for their social because we had two cute small dogs - but she came back and tried to sell us printed out cheesy photos. Very not into that. Service is blatantly not good. They're not fast. They tried to clear our tapas SIX TIMES despite not a single plate being empty. Food was good but didn't make up for the horrible service and experience. Will not go back.

This place was a hidden gem of a bottomless birthday brunch find for a Saturday afternoon. Our server Anna did a tremendous job taking care of us and was very discreet at coordinating a birthday surprise dessert for my friend's birthday. We sat on the outdoor area since it was a nice mid spring day. Ordered a pitcher of red sangrias for the bottomless brunch. $39 for 90 minutes per head was not a bad deal. My smoked salmon eggs Benedict brunch meal came out really well. My friend had the whipped cream French toast. And the rest of our group got the shakshuka and avocado toast with breakfast sides. All the dishes came out nicely and fresh. Even the French toast was not too decadently sweet which was fantastic. By the end of the brunch, we were given the option of a chocolate mousse, cheesecake or flan for the birthday dessert. The chocolate mousse was very thick and luxurious with creaminess with the birthday song included. It was a fun brunch and get together where the restaurant treated us well and did not mind us staying hours on to catch up. Thank you Bazar Tapas for the fun brunch afternoon. Next time I'll try their specialty cocktails and their tapas happy hour for sure

This place is a hidden gem. The service , the culture, the music, the atmosphere and most of all the food. It was stupendous such flavors and presentation and the drinks were amazing. The only regret i have is that i didn't come sooner. You will love it!!

I have to say that these were the best cocktails I've ever tired, on point, the bartender Hugo knew exactly what I wanted. Anayka was lovely and makes us feel welcomed. Would 100% recommend it.

I spent a couple days visiting and enjoyed it. The meal hit all the right notes. Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant is very cool and service is great. The staff exhibited training and professional etiquette. Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant zestfully creates joyful experiences.

An amazing spot for a refreshing lunch. My mom brought me here 2 years ago for their happy hour. We were in the area and decided to grab a bite. The paella was soooo good, it says its for 2 but actually you could share with 3. Everything so tasty. Ambiance is just right, the a/c works perfectly. Service incredible, thank you for letting us have our service dogs with us inside. We will be back! Gracias :)
