    The food was very good and the atmosphere was nice. It felt like a Williamsburg bar but in Harlem ;) it really enriches the neighborhood to have a hipper place to hang out and have a drink. I found the price for the tapas a little more on the higher end.

  • Review 2 (2019-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    Food was delicious, friendly and inviting staff tucked away in a cozy spot. Visited on a Saturday night with live singer and guitarist. The evening was something to remember, and will definitely visit again if ever given the opportunity to.

    Had dinner here last week. Tapas is my favorite way to eat a meal with friends so I was excited to give this place a try. I absolutely loved everything. One delicious plate after another came to our table many times brought by the one of the charming owners, Paul. He described every plate, made recommendations, all the while greeting guests as they entered and checking on every table. Nice touch. I also thought the decor was elegant, unique and full of personality, even the bathroom was a little oasis with classical music and a small library!I live in Chelsea but will gladly take the A train up anytime to eat here again.

    Great food, the cheese and meat plate is one of the best we have tried so far. Tapas are great and many choices available. Drinks are not the best but they do have a good and varied beer choices. The ambiance is nice and the service was great! Prices are very reasonable. Will definitely come back.

    I was surprised how cute this place is. Though small, it had a great ambiance and they made great use of the space! It had great food, a great vibe and awesome live music! I only wish my wife and I found this place sooner. Will be going back soon.

  • Review 6 (2017-12-18 - Rating: 4)

    Great place. It’s feels like the Love child of a tapas place in the suburbs of Barcelona and a bistro from south France. The only thing missing is stoned laid streets. Paul and the staff are great hosts. My absolute fav spot in Harlem.

  • Review 7 (2019-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    I recently had a private event held here, the atmosphere and crew members were phenomenal. Every guest that I encountered that evening raved about the food and service. Will definitely recommend family and friends to book future events at Peque.

    I hosted a successful Beautycounter Pop-Up at Peque this past Saturday. I wish I took photos. Everything was so perfect. The staff was so helpful and assisted me in set up and breakdown. I was nervous, getting a late start in set up, but the staff calmly guided me through the process (moving my own boxes and bags out of the way) and kept me on task! I was just about set up when my first guests started to arrive. Drinks were served (Sangria and Wine), people were so comfortable in the beautiful space. Its a perfect event space, small enough to encourage socializing but not so small as to feel crowded. I will certainly use this space again for future events.

    I want to thank Paul and all the PEQUE staff for making my 60th birthday party a night to remember. The DJ was over the top he felt the crowd out mixing salsa and great dancing music; everybody was dancing ,laughing and relaxed. My guest were saying I love this ,taste that its great !! My favorite desert, cheese cake, and hot bread pudding vanilla ice cream super delicious. I got so many phone calls about last night, they praised the friendliness of the staff but very professional at the same time. I am over the top happy with my 60th birthday party. The atmosphere at Peque is always warm and welcoming but last night it was cooking!! Book your party now DONT WAIT. THANKS SYLVIA ROMAN

    Being a New Yorker I dont get surprised to often. But tonight that drought is over. Peque Vinos was a throw back to the days were guest services were the standard not the exception. We were made to fell welcome the moment we stepped through the door till we put on our coats and the door closed behind us.My best friend who was with me has been my friend for 35 years. But its always a challenge going to a restaurant with him because he is a Vegan. So going to a New place always presents issues. The waiter, bartender and even the owner went through the menu with him to make sure he was maintaining his vegan lifestyle. So with the chief now in the loop he coustomized menu items to make the dishs vegan.I was so impressed. We had and recommend the following. The Ginger Sangria, Mejilones the best and most tender mussels ever, Asperges sauteed asparagus, Alcachofas seasoned artichokes, Roasted Tomatoe Soup and Potato wedged and Bread Pudding. Go there and just try not to love this gem in Harlem.

  • Review 11 (2018-04-15 - Rating: 4)

    Truly enjoyed my experiences at Peque! Its a cozy clean eatery with an intimate feel once the sun sets. We had a few things from the menu Charcuterie & Cheese Tasting which icludes Five Cheese Tasting Board with Jamón Serrano and Chorizo Iberico. It was delicious! We also ordered the Tortilla Española omelette of potatoes & onions with roasted garlic aioli and the Skirt Steak Chimichurri fire-grilled steak served with classic chimichurri sauce, potato wedges and mixed greens. We enjoyed every bite. The staff was super friendly. Ive visited twice and I had a great time with every visit.

    Good food. Good service. Good cocktails. It was an extremely crowded night so Im sure service would be more rapid if it werent standing room only. The show was great.

  • Review 32 (2018-10-22 - Rating: 5)

    Go for the food, the music, and the decor! The bathroom is a must see. You will not want to leave it. My favorite aspect of this restaurant is their bartender, Christian! He is superb and a gem! Stop in and sit at the bar when hes working. His music choices are fantastic! Paul. the owner may be there and if he is talk to him about their rather impressive wines. I love this place!

  • Review 33 (2019-01-16 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place! A real local gem. Excellent margaritas and wine list, good (but not intrusive) service, and great food, with a good balance of vegetarian and carnivore offerings. the bread pudding is definitely a winner (and I dont usually like bread pudding). The musics not bad either.

  • Review 34 (2016-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    Just really good drinks at a budget.. and nice vibe

  • Review 35 (2019-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    Cozy welcoming place, friendly staff, refined tapas, outstanding wines and a great selection of beers. Plus, they have live music regularly. Very convenient walk from either the 3 or A B C D subway stations. I cant wait to try every item on the menu. Its always a pleasure to return there.

    This little restaurant close home is my best option when I dont feel going too far. Its cozy and the sea food is exellent. They serve a variety of wines to accompany your favorite dish. I will recommend it to any one.

  • Review 38 (2018-06-11 - Rating: 4)

    Convenient, neighborhood yummy place... And live music many evenings!Most of the servers are great; one was surly, but perhaps she was having an off day. Service is not particularly slow nor quick. Sangria, especially at happy hour, is nice.

  • Review 39 (2015-10-07 - Rating: 5)

    Went last night to grab a drink with some girlfriends. Loved the atmosphere and the people! They were so very nice! I plan on bringing all my friends in the area there for late night tapas and drinks. It is so nice to have something like this so close instead of having to go downtown to grab a drink with friends.

  • Review 43 (2017-02-06 - Rating: 4)

    Food was delicious, Service was Great.....My only issue was we clearly asked for well-done and were served still bloody rare steak. We sent it back, they just cooked the original a little more, but only to medium.If you love your steak cooked rare - you will enjoyIf you only like steak med-well or well done - BEWARE!

  • Review 44 (2018-06-13 - Rating: 5)

    Peque is the best! Great environment, great people, great drinks! While their food portions are a tad small, it is filled with homemade deliciousness.I go here at least once a week and I love it more and more each time.

  • Review 45 (2016-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    It was such a fortuitous find discovering this quaint little restaurant while wandering the streets of Harlem. My friend and I enjoyed Sunday brunch here during one of our leisure trips to NY and the wait staff and owner where amazing. The food was so delicious that we ordered two helpings of our dishes while we enjoyed chatting the afternoon away in such an eclectic and interesting restaurant with the coolest atmosphere. The potato quiche (cant remember exactly what it was called) was my absolute favorite! The owner told us of some really cool activities there that were coming in the days following but sadly we had to return home long before they began. Hope to be back in NY when they have one of their events taking place. Without a doubt I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

  • Review 46 (2018-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    Peque is a gem in this neighborhood. I love going any time of day. The food is great. The wine and drink selections are wonderful. It’s a nice, cozy spot with live music in the evening.

  • Review 47 (2018-05-17 - Rating: 4)

    Great happy hour deals (yummy tapas priced at 3 for $12 and sangrias for $5 between 5-7 pm!). There was live music that was AMAZING! I wish I could give this 5 stars, but our waiter forgot us at multiple points during the visit and we had to repeat requests multiple times before they got addressed (no silverware, no ice, no soap in the bathroom).

  • Review 48 (2017-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    Has great food, such as potato wedges and desserts( the pudding was my favorite!) Its very decorative, which gives it an appropriate atmosphere for the bar. 10/10 would go again.

    We have been a few times and have enjoyed what we have ordered there. Get the fried artichokes! They are delicious, though I will say that the portion is not large. The cheese and charcuterie plate is very good. The mixed drinks are tasty. And the staff are very nice. Very LGBTQ friendly, as another reviewer posted. Really glad this place is in the neighborhood.

    An artists heaven! Great food (THE BREAD PUDDING is OMG YAS),drinks and music. Bands perform every Tuesday night! Ive interacted with great artists there. Absolutely delightful.No need to go downtown to have a nice time when PEQUE is right around the corner! I moved to Harem last month and wanted to find a bar to just hang out and chill and voila! I stumbled upon this treasure! The staff is amazing. Paul, the owner, treats his customers with such care and love. The ambience is classic/vintage and romantic. Even their bathroom is beautiful!!Drinks (read: guavatini) is delicious. Must try their sangria.You can take someone out on a date here, or go wit friends to enjoy good music or just hang out at the bar and the bar tender may play some musicals number for you :)Must go there and do order their bread pudding (youll thank me)!

    This place is awesome. The space is small but they have a great outside space. The menu is BALLER! Wanted to try everything but am going to wait until I come next time. Happy hour Tapas special: Pan con tomates, Deviled Eggs and savory mushrooms.... BANGING! shared with friends: the Albóndigas were to die for but the skirt steak option was a bit on the bland side but the experience was awesome so I didnt care!Oh and BT Dubs-- the sangria is a must but Pio Pios is a bit better because its heavier on the wine.Keep it up Peque-- cant believe you were right around the corner!

  • Review 78 (2017-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    The name Pequeof this Harlem gem does not do it justice! It should have a grander name to go with its personality and interesting and tasty dishes. Not to mention their excellent taste in music. They play tasteful eclectic choices of music from Miles Davis to Stevie Wonder to Depeche Mode. Now the food......I had dinner with my boyfriend, who was visiting from Italy and a a couple friend from Long Island and I bring up Peque when discussing restaurants in a conversation. The food, although tapas portion (which is why is Peque) is delicious. The flavors are bold and tasty with very creative and original combinations. Every dish we had, that is, the Tre Diablos, Tortilla Espanola, Mejillones, Gambas and Grits, to name a few, and lets not forget their cheesecakes are all to die for. I love this place! I live in Rockland County and frequent the city once every two months but I think now, I will make extra trips just to visit this wonderful Peque of a gem. Amazing food, great music, seated near interesting diners from the artistic to the suits.... you will find them there. I look forward to dining at Peque sooner than soon. It is one of my favorite restaurants by far!
