Socarrat, the quintessence of the perfect paella and for which the restaurant is named, is the delectable, sensuous crust that forms on the bottom of the paella pan when the liquid is rendered and the rice reaches its peak of succulence. The menu, an authentic array of delicious dishes from the regions of Spain specializing in traditional tapas with an accent on paella and fideua (which substitutes fried noodles for rice) that can be characterized as a true exploration for the palette.

Socarrat Paella Bar Chelsea's ambiance denotes feelings of warmth, comfort and hospitality. A neighborhood staple with a small, intimate space comprised primarily of one large communal table with bar and smaller communal tables available.

    I’ve been going to this restaurant since they first opened, and I was really impressed at the high quality of the food and service. You don’t always expect restaurants to maintain their level, but this one has and in some ways has even improved.

    We are at Soccarat for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Initially we were told that only the holiday special menu was available, which was paella made with turkey. My husband was totally “over” turkey, so the restaurant was very accommodating in allowing us to order from the regular menu. We had an order of the grilled octupus followed by the seafood paella. The food was outstanding and the staff was friendly, attentive, and very thorough. I highly recommend Soccarat when you crave tapas, paella, and other flavors of Spain!

    Dear David, Thank you for spending Thanksgiving with us! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the grilled octopus and seafood paella, and that our team could accommodate your preferences. Your kind words about the food and service mean so much to us. We look forward to welcoming you back for more Spanish flavors! Best regards, Socarrat Management

    The food was delicious - especially the two seafood paellas and the Brussels sprouts tapa. Desserts were really good too. Wait staff was lovely too.
