Our restaurant draws inspiration from the culinary riches of Spain - infused with Moroccan traditions from across the Gibraltar and Indian influences that traveled west along the same seas. Centuries of interplay between these food traditions and lands inspires our Iberian fusion plates. Our beverage is as unique as our cuisine. Hand-crafted cocktails alive with unique ingredients and fresh juices. Our wine list is made to transport you to Spain and the regions surrounding by including only Old World wines. Beers from Europe and American craft beers using uncommon elements help round out our choices of libations. We look forward to transporting you and your guests to a true Spanish dining experience.
Cooks & Soldiers brings the cuisine and cultural experience of Spain’s Basque region to the flourishing West Midtown area. The menu is divided into “pintxos tradicionales,” or tapas-like snacks served atop toasted bread; “pinxtos especiales,” or Basque-inspired small plates; “asador” including a variety of wood-grilled fish, meats and vegetables; and a selection of unique and modern desserts. Behind the bar, Cooks & Soldiers offers guests an extensive collection of Basque and Spanish wines, txakoli and ciders, in addition to craft beer and signature cocktails. The cocktail list places a heavy emphasis on gin, offering a seasonal selection of house-infused tonics blended into gin tonics and other popular libations.
