Ibéricos started as a Plateau deli selling jamón and Spanish wines, but it didn’t take long for it to evolve into something more ambitious—a full-on taverna channeling the spirit of Barcelona. Chef Haissam Souki Tamayo, who once cooked at El Bulli, blends classic Catalan tapas with local ingredients and Spanish imports: silky croquetas, octopus a la gallega, housemade sangria, and, of course, plenty of pata negra. The 100-seat room is dressed like a tavern should be—stone walls, high tables, soft lighting—and fills out on weekends for a brunch menu that leans Iberian. Wines are curated by co-owner Adriana Laporta, with a strong cava game and cocktails to match. You don’t need to squint to feel like you’re in Spain here—the atmosphere does the work for you.
