Reviews for La Vara in Brooklyn, NY
Elevated Spanish tapas bistro with cozy, neighborhood-y ambiance and a lovely backyard. Everything on the menu is well through... out and executed, giving the tradition Spanish dishes a slight interesting twist without overly complicating the flavors andtexture. The menu is seasonal, featuring fresh produce from local farms. Highly recommend the pine nuts and almond gazpacho withscallop crudo, the croquettes, spiced chickpeas, and the rossejat to share.

Amazingly delicious food!!! Potion sizes are small enough to order multiple dishes and try them all?. Cocktails were pretty... good too!! Read more
I had a nice evening at La Vara last evening. One of my best foodie?s memories are from Spain?s San Sebastián, at the heart of... the Basque region. I was hoping for a similar, memorable experience. La Vara?s cuisine is Basques inspired. I can?t say itwas that memorable, but it was interesting. I may have to try some additional dishes there. Read more
Once again our meal at La Vara was absolutely amazing. The chickpeas alone are worth the reservation. I rave about it all the... time because they are so consistently delicious and everything is perfectly done. Last week my very discriminating friend camewith us for the first time and she was also floored by the impeccable food, presentation and service. Thank you La Vara! Read more
Really terrific food, nice outdoor patio seating. The service is very good--knowledgeable waiters and attentive staff. There's a... real artist in this kitchen! We loved it. Even our nine year old found things she loved (including the desserts.) Read more
Delicious. We sat outside as they opened at 5 pm and it was just quiet and lovely. We got 6 dishes as we were very hungry and we... ended up being pretty full! The salsichon with crispy artichoke was so maybe the highlight! Only downside is that is reallyexpensive. Asking 20$ for 3 anchovies on bread and butter feels a bit much? Read more

La Vara is a true culinary experience and my favorite restaurant in NYC by far. We used to go for my birthday every year... pre-pandemic but hadn?t been in over 3 years - we had high expectations and it didn?t disappoint! We ordered spiced chickpeas, 2 seafood dishes, 2 meat dishes, one vegetable dish and dessert and left stuffed even though my husband had run a half marathonthat day. 10/10, highly recommend! Read more
