Chef-owner Deborah Hansen spent eight years in Spain before returning home to Boston and opening Taberna De Haro in 1998. Offering tapas and more than 230 wines, this Brookline eatery feels more like an excursion to Madrid than a local dining spot. Ms. Hansen's goal is to emulate the Spanish near obsession with food. To achieve this end, she returns to Madrid yearly for research. The restaurant, which includes indoor and outdoor seating, has house specialities such as Black paella (made with actual squid ink) and braised oxtail, and is a seven time Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence winner.
