About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
Socarrat Paella Bar - Midtown East is now accepting reservations for both indoor and outdoor dining, weather permitting. In the case where we need to close due to inclement weather, we will contact you the day of your reservation. To book a table online for indoor dining, please select "standard seating".

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.

Our Midtown location, the most recent addition to the Socarrat family, displays a lively atmosphere that is perfect for small and big groups alike. Book your next party in our private dining room!

    I have previously been to the Nolita Socarrat, which I have liked better, for there is music and the ambience of a Spanish Restaurant, not to mention the food it self.

    If you’re craving authentic Spanish paella, look no further! Socarrat nails it with that perfect crispy bottom and rich, flavorful ingredients. The black paella is a must, but honestly, everything is spot on. The vibe is warm and inviting, perfect for a date night or a fun dinner with friends. Great sangría, friendly service, and a true taste of Spain in NYC.

    Food’s amazing. Got seated next to two very loud couple. Literally shouting. Sort of ruined the experience so we left early.
