Viva Espana

Discover why Chef Miguel Angel Rebolledo is so distinguished among his peers when you dine at Basque in West Palm Beach. Located at the historic Hotel Biba, the newly opened eatery serves up Spanish fare with flair.

"I am excited to bring both classic and modern interpretations of Spanish food to Palm Beach County," says Chef Rebolledo, who won Best Taste of Coral Gables three years in a row, Best Paella in Miami two years in a row and Best Croqueta in Miami in 2016. "Hotel Biba, with its rich 89-year history and beautiful tropical courtyard, has a warm, hospitable vibe, making it the ideal setting for Basque's thoughtfully curated food and beverage menu."

The tapas menu's 14 choices include Scallops Grilled a la Plancha, with butternut squash puree and Pedro Ximenes Sherry, and Dragon Fruit Tuna Tartare. The Platos and Paella section of the menu includes Paella La Floridian, with Key West shrimp, Florida clams, local lionfish and calamari, and Salmon Papillote. Also offered: 18 vegetarian items (12 are vegan) and a collection of distinctive desserts.

The full bar is sure to keep you refreshed: There's an extensive Spanish wine list, frozen cocktails, sangria and Spain's Estrella beer.

Diners will be surrounded by history whether they dine inside or outside in the 4,000-square-foot courtyard: Hotel Biba was built in 1929 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
