Enoteca Harlem was born from a journey to the Basque Country, where I discovered the deep-rooted tradition and importance of family meals, and the vibrant culture of sharing tapas over a good glass of wine in the heart of San SebastiánThe calmness of the coastal life, the scent of the sea breeze sweeping over the vineyards, and the joy of savoring fresh, local ingredients are all part of what makes the Basque culinary tradition so special. At Enoteca, we aim to bring that experience to life—a little slice of the Basque Country where you can be transported to another place and celebrate the art of sharing tapas.
