Eater SF recently released its list of “The 16 Best Restaurants in Berkeley,” showcasing the city’s most exciting dining destinations — from casual neighborhood spots to fine-dining experiences. We’re honored that La Marcha Tapas Bar was included among them.

The feature highlights our take on Spanish tapas and paella, especially the arroz negro — a dramatic black rice paella with squid ink, clams, fennel sausage, oyster aioli, and smoked trout roe. It’s one of our favorite dishes to cook and share, so seeing it recognized on a city-wide list is a real honor.

Eater also points out our connection to Mile Limit, our wine bar and bottle shop just a few doors down, where guests can continue the evening or take home something special to pair with their next meal.

Why This Recognition Matters

Being named among Berkeley’s best restaurants reinforces what we strive for every day: bringing the flavors of Spain to the East Bay with care, authenticity, and a bit of fun. From classic tapas like croquetas and patatas bravas to our seasonal paellas and extensive Spanish wine list, our goal is to make every visit a celebration of community and flavor.

Experience It Yourself
