For Boise
WEEKLY ROTATIONS
The Market keeps a rhythm. Some things change by the hour — the pintxos behind the counter, the wine our staff is excited about, the lunch special on the chalkboard. Other things stay exactly where you left them: your favorite table, the smell of paella drifting onto Grove Street on Fridays, the staff who remember your preferred wine palette. Locals know the rhythm by heart. Visitors learn it fast. Here's what keeps you coming back
-
We’re staying open late, until 7:00pm, on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Serving until 6:00pm!
-
The pintxos rotate all day, every day — what's behind the counter at noon won't be the same at four. Today's lunch specials are on the chalkboard, and our full menu of tapas and plates is always available.
-
We cook outside. Walk up, order, and eat on the patio or take it home. No reservation, no fuss — just paella the way it's meant to be served.
Available weekly Wednesdays & Fridays at 12:00pm, rain or shine. Vegetarian option available on First Fridays.
Available at 6:00pm on First Thursdays.
For Visitors
THE BASQUE BLOCK
Boise is home to one of the largest Basque communities outside the Basque Country itself — and we live on the block where you can feel it. A few steps in any direction puts you in front of a museum, a fronton, a center for Basque dance, and tables full of people who've been showing up here for generations. Start with us. We'll point you the rest of the way. Learn more.
-
The only Basque museum in the United States, just steps from our front door. Permanent and rotating exhibits trace the migration story that brought thousands of Basques to Idaho, and the language, dance, and food they carried with them.
-
The Basque community's living room. Home to dances, dinners, mus tournaments, and the Boiseko Gazteak dancers. Pull up a chair at the bar, or come for an event! The center welcomes visitors throughout the year.
-
A single block of Grove Street that holds more Basque culture per square foot than almost anywhere outside Bilbao. Restaurants, the museum, the center, a fronton court, and a calendar of festivals — including Jaialdi, the international Basque festival held in Boise every five years, the annual Basque Festival, and Christmas Market.

A BASQUE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF IDAHO
Beginning in the late 1800s, young Basques left the green hills of northern Spain and southern France for the high desert of southern Idaho — most of them to herd sheep. They sent for siblings, married each other, opened boarding houses, and built a community that has never quite let go. Today, Boise holds one of the largest Basque populations outside the Basque Country, and the block we sit on is its heart. We're proud to keep it fed.
