    Platters of Ibérico pork and dry-aged txuleta arrive pre-sliced, Basque sidrería-style, which tells you everything about how Dolfy's wants you to eat. This Spanish pintxos and wood-fired grill spot on Freret Street was built for sharing, from passed gildas to charred leeks on romesco. The New York Times put it on their 2026 Restaurant List, and the room runs with the kind of easy energy that makes you order one more round.

    How we score

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Charred leeks

      “But so are the charred leeks, presented in bite-size coins on a thick spread of romesco”

      The New York Times, 2026
    • Chicken and jamon croquettes

      “The chicken and jamon croquettes come out with a thick armor of shatteringly crispy breading.”

      The Infatuation
    • Ibérico pluma

      “Much of the menu—including the showstopper, a hunk of peppery ibérico pluma—touches the flames from the wood-burning oven behind the bar.”

      The Infatuation
    • Txuleta steak

      “the platters of Ibérico pork and dry-aged txuleta steak, sliced for easy distribution”

      The New York Times, 2026

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
