History

Established in 1995.

We first went to Spain on a whim in 1985 and fell in love with its food and wine. When we returned, we found it difficult to find authentic ingredients to make tapas or cook paella.

In 1995, I retired from the Federal Government and established The Spanish Table in Seattle. Later, we opened stores in Santa Fe, NM; Berkeley, CA and Mill Valley, CA.

I work in the Seattle store with my wife Sharon who now manages the wine department.

We are constantly searching for foreign flavors that will enliven your home cooking. Recently, that search has taken us beyond the Iberian Peninsula to North Africa, the Middle East and South America.

You only live once; live well!

This is the place to go for all your spanish ingredients. I dont have to ship chorizo from NY anymore! Chorizo, jamon, membrillo, turron, quesos, vinos, you name it. A little more expensive than my NY places but understandably not enough spanish buyers.

I love this store and always come here when I am in Seattle. It is located on Western just past Pikes Market. They are a good source of all things Spanish and beyond. The food selection is the star for me, I love the chocolate covered almonds and candies, They have sauces and rice, spices, cheeses and meats, drinks, etc.
Beyond food they have Music, dishes, glassware, soap, cookware and a huge wine selection.
Service here is great. It is a great place to come and get your Spanish fix without flying to Spain.
The prices here do seem a bit high sometimes and I miss the old location with its lunch counter.

I give this place a 1 star rating due to bad customer service! The woman with waivy black hair and big nose was rude and dismissive.

Just go in and browse. They have cheese, tons of wine, cooking products and very cheap wooden spoons. I got a ‘salad spoon and fork’ duo 9 inches long (that you can use for cooking too) from Spain for $ 23.00 while 1 ‘handmade’ spoon from a vendor at pike place was going for $ 45.00

Love this place. I don’t mind paying a little extra for quality product. Great knowledgable staff. Clean environment. And you can find all those little delicacies that remind you of your trip to Europe within these four walls.

Took the family down to Pikes Place and my wife wanted to go checkout this shop. She got some pottery as a gift from her mother and this really spoke to the Basque side of her family. Really liked the place, very clean and felt very exotic. Loved the culture and some great value on authentic dishes and plates.

If you want Spanish meats, cheeses, wine and cookery, then you have come to the right place. The shop is located on Western Ave., which is just beneath Pike Place Market. It has been a while since I have been here (still remember it when it was located across the street). They have a huge wine selection, with meats, cheeses and other foods towards the back. Up front, there are cookbooks and paella pans, etc. On this trip, I just picked up a small paella pan. When I went to pay, the woman (owner, manager?) rang my purchase up and forgot to charge me tax. She said it was her mistake, and comped it for me, which was great. I look forward to stopping back at the store to fill up on my paella-​cooking needs next I make the dish.

One of the coolest stores in the Pike Place vicinity. Cheeses, wines, salts, and great books. Everything is enticingly displayed. Surprisingly, their french store a few doors down doesn’t look nearly as nice inside. I love coming in here anytime I’m in Seattle for a little taste of Spain.

Great little place that has about half of my favorite food items from my time in Spain. I’m especially happy they have white anchovies (boquerons), which are my food addiction.
Would be four stars if I didn’t feel like a nuisance every time I walked in. I don’t know what it is, but they’re pretty standoffish each time I’m there, but not enough to keep me away from the cheese and anchovies

A little hard to find and sadly they don’t have the tapas bar that they had at the former location but this is still a great place for all your spanish meal staples — picked up some tasty /​fatty iberico ham. granted it was $ 15 for like 2 ozs but worth the splurge. Plus I needed some rice and paprika for paella anyways.

Lovely little shop below the Market. I find myself here to peruse the lovely sherry section every so often as they have a good range of products.
They’ve also got cheeses, various grocery items, and even books, housewares and accessories. If you’ve been to Spain or you dream of going, this is a great spot to check out for a little Spanish influence in Seatown.

This place brings back good memories of my trip to Barcelona. So many yummy goodies — all sorts of olives, salts, canned sardines, squids, octopus, scallops, arborio rice, saffron, sweets, cheese, Iberian ham, olive oil, wines. I had fun shopping here. Even my husband who hates shopping of any kind (especially grocery shopping) was interested in their offerings. They play some great Spanish music in the store and the atmosphere is just very pleasant. They also sell CDs.
If you ever want to make paella, they have paella pans of all sizes plus all the spices you need to make it. They also have tagines and other clay bakers.
There is also a small Mexican section with spices and hot sauce.
Their prices are not cheap but they have a great selection of hard to find items.
Tip: They pay for your parking at the Market garage.

Love this place. They have a great supply of kitchenware for making paella and tapas. Lots of great spices (but expensive). Good cookbook section and Spanish/​Portuguese music too. Like the Paris Grocer next door but better and also pricey.

We kept searching and searching for this place but a lovely store owner inside Pike’s Place (it has many floors. at least 3) told us we need to go OUTSIDE along the road/​street.
Spacious and the prices were about the same as the store in Berkeley California.

Mercer Island, WA
Located on the lowest level of the Market– front door on Western Avenue. An awesome shop– what do you need? if you are looking for wines, they have a huge selection of ports, Cavas, Sherry, Spanish wines, etc. Cookbooks? Their selection of Meditteranean, Spanish, Indian, Turkish, Morrocan, Basque, etc. books is excellent, plus books in Spanish.
A Paella pan for 10 or for 200? Fideo pasta? Piqueio peppers? Jamon? Fresh Spanish cheese? Spices, jars of roasted red peppers, Spanish olive oil, Smoked Paprika, etc. etc… you can find it here! I love the cookware, casualas, and dishware they have, as well as olivewood spoons, spatulas, etc.
One problem for me is that it is hard to get to… very limited parking in front of the store on Western Avenue… and since I have «mobility issues», it is difficult for me to walk down from the main Pike Place Market. But somehow, I still find my way here, and am always glad I did, and always buy something delish. Owners are very nice and knowledgeable too.
Keep an eye out for their cooking demos… last spring they made Paella in front of the store in a 50 serving pan, very interesting to see how it was made! Then we all got to eat some too! Stop by… wonderful place to shop and find lots of great treasures!

Paella anyone? This store has just about everything you could want to throw a killer paella party: paella pans, spoon, authentic Spanish rice, sausage, and all sorts of ingredients. It’s a really fun shop to browse through. Of course, it’s all very expensive — just like it is in Spain. Truly authentic! I liked it, but I would like it more if I could afford to buy it all.

San Rafael, CA
Spanish and Moroccan pottery, paella pans, ceramic handcrafted water jugs, books in Spanish, Spanish cheese and meats, olives, lovely spices (i.e. pimmenton) salted cod (where else can you find that outside of Spain ?!) and all of it well displayed. Nice Spanish wine selection.
While its not La Boccaria, it sure reminds me of traveling when I walk in the door. If you are at Pike Market, drop down to this nearby shop (quick walk) and check it out!

This place is pretty frickin cool. I had a bit of time to kill while waiting for my friend for hh, so I stopped by here after she recommended it.
Who knew that I would end up coming out with 3 bottles of wine and some chocolates after only spending 10 – 15 min in this store?
I explained what kinds of wine I liked and one of the staff helped me pick out a couple wines. He was very knowledgable and kept within my targeted price range.
This store has sooo much cool stuff, most of which I have no idea what it is or how to pronounce it.
I saw a bunch of paella pans and food items that I’m sure will come in handy when I get around to actually trying to make paella.
Price wise, a big range, easy to find something within yours.
Great service, lots of selection, and a chill atmosphere = 5 stars.
Will be back.

This is my go to spot for anything Paella and fabulous Spanish wine.
The staff are knowledgable, helpful and super friendly.
I always purchase my Enameled Paella Pan, rice, saffron, and EVOO here to make paella. If you want to make it, they have a standard paella recipe for you.
They have groceries such as cheese, olives, oils, nuts, beans, peppers, spices, rice, sweets, vingears, flour, fish, chorizo, bread, & many sauces.
Very cool cookware in many material and amazing kitchen essentials.
They even have music!
If you have questions… they got answers plus many cookbooks to discover Spanish & Portuguese or New World cuisine.
Mmmmm, thinking of making paella very soon. Here is the pic I just made last night.
Pro TIP: Street parking and a parking lot across the street. They have free paella print out recipes up front by the saffron.

You’re so international, baby.
This place is the GO-​TO for all things fabulous for your kitchen, it may be called the Spanish Table but it’s stocked with goodness from all over.
We had some wine at a local spanish place and wanted to find it– of course they had it– and we were also encouraged towards a few more bottles by the skilled and knowledgable staff. Everything that they suggested were all outstanding and became instant favorites.
They have the hardware: Cataplanas, cruets, and pans.
They have the software: Groceries including cheese counter at the Seatlle location
They have the style, grace and variety you need to impress anyone for a dinner at your place. Better yet, they are just an amazing treasure trove of information to boot!
