Estragon Tapas Bar: your slice of Spain in the South End. Estragon is owned and operated by Julio de Haro and Lara Egger. Voted Best of Boston 2023 by Boston Magazine! Chef Julio was born and raised in Madrid and his cuisine reflects the fresh simplicity of traditional Spanish fare. Many of the dishes are family recipes, served straight from Abu Luisa's kitchen to your table. To complement Estragon's extensive tapas menu, you'll find a unique cocktail list, a selection of local and craft beers, and an all-Spanish wine list with references spanning both the country's established and emerging wine regions. An evening at Estragon is unlike any other dining experience. The decor-- art deco meets vintage chic-- provides an inviting, sophisticated setting perfect for any occasion.

My second visit to Estragon and once again had a wonderful experience. The food is amazing, the service is fantastic (attentive but not annoying), and the ambience offers the feeling of having been transported to a tapas restaurant you might find along the streets of Madrid or Barcelona.

Everything was delicious! It was the perfect choice for Restaurant Week and now I'm extra excited about going back and ordering from the full menu.

Estragon’s Dine Out Boston’s menu was expansive, shareable and delicious. Shishitos, mushroom toast and jamon/melon were a great start. Octopus salad, lamb and veggie empanadas, Serrano croquettes, Meatballs in brandy herb sauce, and moorish chicken skewers all were delicious. Basque cheesecake and tarta de Santiago were a great finish - sweet enough and just the right amount after a satisfying meal. Service, as always, was attentive but not too much. Cafes Americano were perfect.

Came here for restaurant week. We are not impressed with the majority of the tapas ordered. The one I enjoyed was the bread with mushrooms. The dessert also was mediocre. Our server was constantly checking up on us, to the point it felt as if he was scooting us out and indeed he was when he laid the check down. Immediately after finishing to pay he did tell us the table was being needed for the next guest.

We had a wonderful dinner at Estragon last night. It’s Boston Restaurant week and I was there with my two girls celebrating the memory of a dear friend. Our waiter was very attentive. The food was excellent and the ambiance was perfect for relaxing while we reflected on cherished memories.

We have been there multiple times. We do not understand why you are not more popular. Is it because of your location? We like it because of ease of parking. You cannot beat it for quality of food, service and value in Boston.

Restaurant was outstanding in every way…very favorable experience. One small recommendation: Replace the barstools which were very small in seating area (a larger person cannot sit comfortably)and the seats were a bit slippery, so coats fall easily (which happened) and a person could actually slip/fall forward.
