Manuel Martins, ex owner and Chef of «Le Vintage», is back with a new concept, at a new address. The Boca Iberica is located on Rachel Street, right in the heart of Le Plateau. As soon as you walk in you will be astonished by the modern and trendy look enhanced by soft lounge music, a beautiful bar, and the smell of a cuisine blend of Portuguese and Spanish flavors.
The dishes on the menu are made from a great selection of tasty fresh tapas and an array of fresh fishes. We will be most happy to welcome groups celebrating any events. We also offer gluten-free dishes. Our restaurant stays open late so you can fully benefit of your evening.
During summertime, you can enjoy dining on our beautiful terrace. We recommend reservations at all times in order not to be disappointed!
BOCA Iberica offers a warm and welcoming dining experience with fresh, authentic Portuguese inspired dishes served in a modern neighborhood setting. Reviewers praise crispy cod fritters, light fried calamari, chorizo with hummous, octopus salad, sardines, and a range of seafood dishes including a seafood rice that are flavorful and well executed. Tapas are a standout with ever changing options, while cocktails like Bloody Caesar and a Manhattan pair nicely with the fare and the wine selection is well matched to the dishes. Desserts such as chocolate mousse are delightful and service is consistently attentive and friendly. The atmosphere feels lively yet intimate, with generous portions and a sense of easy camaraderie, making it a place that guests plan to return to.
A warm welcome & adequate covid measures. We had the recommended grilled calamare & swordfish. Both paired with a nice portuguese white wine. Both dishes were simple, but very tasty, compliments to the family recipe. Overall it was a relaxed atmospere, but still the crew was always attentive.
Amazing quality food, amazing service, We had an Octopus , shrimps & some other sea food, The price was very reasonable for the quality of the food & service as well.
I highly recommend this beautiful Portuguese Restaurant
Nice ambiance & great friendly service. I found the tapas portions to be small & of a decent but not exceptional standard. I must recommend the natas for dessert it was the highlight of my meal.

Nous avons été comblées sur toute la ligne! Nous étions quatre amies & voulions nous offrir une super sortie de filles ! La table était excellente (succulents tapas !!), au delà de nos attentes, & le service chaleureux & accueillant nous a séduites dès notre arrivée. Nous recommandons ce resto sans aucune hésitation. Un autre avantage : l'endroit était ni trop bruyant ni trop calme, nous pouvions nous entendre parler & rigoler à notre goût !
We had an excellent experience. Nice cozy restaurant. Nice & welcoming host & waiters. The foot is delicious & exquisite. The quantity of food is very decent regarding the price. Highly recommended.
Première expérience dans ce restaurant & certainement pas la dernière. Tout était parfait; accueil chaleureux (le Chef propriétaire Manuel est venu nous saluer), le service à la table (par Roberto) des plus efficaces & courtois. Quant au repas (du midi), nous nous sommes régalés de plats savoureux, préparés & présentés avec soin. L'ambiance y est très agréable & nous avons été traités comme des rois, autant les adultes que nos deux petites filles, & nous ne pouvons que recommander cet excellent restaurant.
I attended this restaurant twice: once with a large group of people, & soon after with a good friend. The two experiences were as different as night & day. The first time, one of the members of my group knew the chef, so we were treated to exquisite tapas & a truly perfect experience. The restaurant was full on a Thursday evening & the ambiance was wonderful. The second time was on a Friday night. The restaurant was empty, the waiter claimed that they didn't have a certain wine when I'd tasted it there just a few evenings prior to that. Two of the wines they suggested were mediocre at best, although this is a restaurant with a reputation for a great wine list. The octopus was charred in places. The salad was drenched in oil & lacked subtlety. The grilled meats platter was perfectly ordinary & would have been just as decent & far cheaper at the Portuguese takeout grill a few doors East. The dessert, a spaghetti-squash tart, which is supposed to be sticky & moist, was dry & over-baked. It was a bit of a disaster & I felt embarrassed that I'd recommended this place to my friend. If the chef only excels when his friends are around, I don't think I'll be coming back.
