Taberna Del Alabardero

This piece of Spain, just steps from The White House, will transport you to an elegant and royal atmosphere surrounded by friendly faces, an engaging menu and world-renowned wines.

Taberna Del Alabardero opened its doors in 1989, becoming one of the first Spanish restaurants in DC, and celebrated its 30 Anniversary with the 2019 Honorary RAMMY award. Spanish Chef Joaquín Ruiz brings back the authentic Spanish Cuisine and introduces new dishes with traditional ingredients.

Taberna’s seasonal menu features classic tapas, luscious paellas, refreshing sangria, and delicious desserts, as well as vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Private Dining

Taberna del Alabardero offers three elegant private dining spaces, a bar, the main dining room and our patio, all well suited for a broad array of events. A selection of special banquet and cocktail menus are available for parties of 10 or more.
