Located at the ground floor of Verve Tower 2, Bolero has become a destination for diners looking for creative food, generous sharing plates, and a relaxed yet polished atmosphere. The restaurant is also part of the MICHELIN Guide’s 2026 Bib Gourmand selection, recognized for good-quality cooking and value.
A Spanish Soul in the Heart of BGC
Bolero was created around the culinary vision of Chef Fernando Alcalá Garaizábal, who previously worked with Kava in Marbella, Spain. Its menu is largely Spanish, but it doesn't stop there, incorporating Mediterranean notes and global influences into its dishes.
Rather than presenting traditional Spanish food in a strictly conventional way, Bolero gives familiar ingredients and techniques a more contemporary treatment. The result is a menu that feels sophisticated without making the dining experience overly formal.
Come for the Savory Dishes
One of the restaurant's attractions is its selection of dishes designed for sharing. Among the menu's highlights are beef empanadas made with smoked ribeye, charcoal-grilled dishes, Iberico pork, seafood, and other hearty plates. The current menu also features dishes such as fire-roasted chimichurri chicken, Spanish mackerel, roasted tuna belly with romesco, and premium grilled beef, giving groups plenty of options to explore together. For diners who enjoy ordering several dishes for the table, Bolero's generous portions make the experience particularly suited to sharing.
Don't Leave Without Trying the Cheesecake
If there is one dish that repeatedly stands out when Bolero is mentioned, it's the Award-Winning Spain Cheesecake. The dessert has a silky, runny center and is inspired by a cheesecake that earned recognition in Spain. The MICHELIN Guide also specifically highlights the decadent cheesecake among the restaurant's standout
