The Basque Market

The Basque Market was established in December 2000, on the Basque Block in Downtown Boise, Idaho.  Since Opening, the Basque Market has quickly become the leader in Basque catering, and is famous for preparing large paellas (sometimes 300 or more!) for parties, weddings, anniversaries, and other events. Every Wednesday and Friday at noon we prepare a paella from start to finish right on our patio. For only $8.99 you can enjoy a plate of our seafood and meat paella with freshly baked bread. Come early and enjoy a glass of wine or our frozen white sangria and watch it be prepared! On Thursdays, at 6 p.m. enjoy a paella meal that includes a salad, roll, and chef’s choice tapas for only $14. A la carte only $10.50. Every day from 12-3pm experience lunch “tapas style” with an ever changing selection of bocadillos (mini-sandwiches), soups, salads and other traditional and non-traditional tastes such as croquetas, empanadas, tortilla or stuffed piquillo peppers. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 4-8pm tapas continues into the evening with a more elaborate spread. Tapas are a great way to try many different items without breaking the bank! Gather friends and relax with our nightly drink specials and wine tasting. Enjoy happy hourprices 4-6pm Monday through Friday. We also have a deli case filled with prepared items for you to take home and enjoy including soups, olive tapenade, port-poached figs, rice pudding, croquetas, and squid in ink.  Along with food, the market sells various Spanish goods, that are often times hard to find elsewhere such as smoked paprika, assorted turrones, or olives stuffed with piquillos, blue cheese, or anchovies.  The market also has the largest collection of Spanish wines in the Northwest!  All of our unique products and delicious foods make us an important part of the Boise community.
