We had a lovely evening at the Basque Market! Because of covid, we sat outside on their patio which has some propane heaters; it was perfect. The owners Tara and Tony, and their daughter Itxaso, were very welcoming, warm, and friendly and made sure everything was perfect.

We had pinchos, the cro...

I have gone back and forth on weather or not to leave a review. At the end of day I have been in the service industry for almost 20 years. I feel like this needs to be said.
My mom and I went to the Basque Market for the first time on June 1st. I had been to several events through out the years whe...

The Basque Market is a great place to learn about the rich Basque culture of this area. We tried some Basque cuisine; the cheese croquettes were great! Back in 2009, The Basque Market held a function for our convention where they use a gigantic paella pan and cooked for hundreds of people! Apparentl...

We really enjoyed our little lunch at this charming market. In addition to some very hard to find condiments, they offer a range of beautiful items the cooks in your will be sure to enjoy. The staff was both helpful and friendly.. Be sure to try the Rice Pudding.

Small shop so get in early or call ahead if you are looking for one of their quickly selling items. One of the pluses at the Basque Market is the knowledgeable person who always seems to be on site; no pretentiousness exhibited when I ask newb cheese (etc.) questions.

Very tasty - we had a variety of different things. The almonds and olives were my favorite, though the sangria was very good as well. I'm not sure what was on the small sandwich I tried, possibly some kind of puree made from olives? It was delicious though, wish I'd had room for another. I'd nev...

We came here for one of our first meals in Idaho, the food and atmosphere was so amazing. The staff was great even though we took over your restaurant with our party of adults and children. The tapas were fantastic and very affordable. We will definitely be returning on our next visit.

Very cool place with a great selection of tapas and a small world market. Great selection of small bites and matched wines. Paella served regularly. Small menu of cheese plates and fun items. Friendly staff to help with any questions. Prices were fair and location was perfect in the Basque area. Ove...

Very good place to have a glass of wine. We had the wine sampler and liked their selections so much we bought a couple of bottles. The food was delicious, the tortilla with mushrooms, and the meatballs were very good. We are definitely going back!

I came here with a friend and they were basically ignoring me and my bff. The waitress left hair in our food and took our bread when we pointed it out. Later on they were incredibly bitchy towards my pregnant friend. Horrible place to eat.

Just another example.of Boise's legacy of accepting people from other lands. What is brought in culturally in the way of foods, customs, dress, becomes accepted as their unique contribution. Many more are still venturing out from their respective states and countries and landing in Boise. I recently...

This atmosphere is great and the food delicious. We go for the pintxos (the basque version of tapas). Serving sizes are small as are the prices so you can get a big variety without breaking the bank. If you ve never had basque food, you need to try this. You won t be disappointed.

I bought two group cooking classes as a gift for my mom and signed up to the paella class on April 19th. We were really excited to go together, but the night before my grandmother spent the whole night in the hospital with pneumonia. My mom stayed with her and didn't get any sleep. My mom said she w...

Paella was very good on Wednesday. The only thing I didn't like is that I got less meat then other customers because the portions aren't exact but I did want more meat. Wine was good and you can try before you buy and the selection of Pinxtos/Tapas was good! Very kind people and a nice way to spend ...

This is a must stop on any visit to Boise. I usually come for the fresh made paella, currently served Wednesday and Friday at noon. You can watch it be prepared right outside the market. I would recommend coming at least a half hour in advance. Try their wine slushy sangria, topped with red wine, be...

Paella is the best we've ever had. The croquetas are little delicious finger fried bites with savory filling of your choice. Its fun to try and figure out which ones you ordered. They call it the croquetas roulette for a reason. We also had ham and cheese bocadillos along with some tapas. Love the ...

Very good food at very reasonable prices. Excellent paella and tapas. I would recommend the lunch paella or early dinner. It is more moist and fresh. Also early means you will get some and possibly a table. This is a very small place with communal dining. Paella is lunch Weds and Fri and dinner Thur...

Very Satisfying experience from the minute I walked in, to the last moment trying to force the final morsel down my throat. Very attentive and knowledgeable server! Not knowing the culture or the type of foods to order, the waiter was a plus as he knew exactly what we should order and what we woul...

I did the paella class with my bestie and it was so much fun! Tony and Tara have a great mix of teaching how to make paella and how to have a great time while doing it. We had a wine tasting at the start and more wine throughout (what else do you need, really?). And of course the paella was deliciou...
