Summary: A rustic Spanish asador with elegant pintxos.
La Cuchara, a vibrant spot in the Woodberry neighborhood, offers a taste of the Basque region with an authentic Spanish asador and pintxo bar. The interior boasts elegance with light wood paneling and white-washed bricks, complementing the large displays of antique spoons. A wood-burning grill adds a smoky char to the diverse, daily-changing menu. Pintxos like radishes with butter and fleur de sel, and entrees such as duck confit with celeriac slaw, are standout dishes. The dessert selection, including quince sorbet and cinnamon churros, ends the meal on a high note. La Cuchara's sommelier-curated wine list emphasizes Spanish wines, while the cocktail menu features unique creations. Despite occasionally anxious service, the experience is attentively intimate, perfect for early birds and late-night diners seeking $1 pintxos and oysters at the bar.
