El Taller del Xiquet, or “Xiquet’s workshop,” celebrates Spanish flavors with a dedication to quality. Chef Danny crafts imaginative dishes from the finest ingredients, showcasing the vibrant cuisine of his roots. Our menu offers a seasonal selection of à la carte items and shareable plates, inviting you to explore the richness of both land and sea.

Inspired by the traditions of coastal Spain, each dish reflects a respect for local agriculture and sustainable practices. This commitment is seen in premium proteins and seasonal produce from the Valencian region, highlighting the essence of Spanish gastronomy. Delicate octopus, sweet scallops, and succulent prawns are prepared with artistry and passion, while dishes like sustainable sea bass gravlax, signature paellas, and generous fideuàs are served tableside. El Taller del Xiquet offers a culinary journey into Spain’s traditions, honoring the ingredients and techniques that have graced tables for generations.

Food was excellent, but service quite bad, making for a disappointing experience. We arrived on time for our reservation, but waited 33 mins to be seated. The team didn’t seem to do anything about it or acknowledge our wait until I asked, 27 mins in… We were then seated, and food was good, salpicon and paella de Lalbufera were excellent. However, when we were going to order dessert, we were rushed out and told they wanted to move us upstairs to give us the “whole experience”. The impression we got was they needed the table downstairs free. They have a space upstairs where they serve drinks and bring you the check. The waitress was however confused that we hadn’t had dessert and wanted to order it, but, after going to ask, came back and took our order. We then had dessert - which was really good- but the coffees we had ordered never arrived and the check was brought. Overall good food, but they really do not have their logistics down yet, and the lack of acknowledgment of issue after issue made it frustrating.

Our server was extremely unprofessional. He was rushed and rude. Any question about the plates was met with an incomplete response and with a terrible attitude (as if him answering was a favor in his view). He took away the menus and recommended we do some plates in the prix fixe menu without disclosing they came at an extra charge (we found out with the check). Overall the experience was deplorable. Its a pity as we had been looking forward to go to Xiquet. The food was good but not amazing. One of the biggest let downs as far as restaurants in DC go.

Excellent food just like Xiquet! We love the seafood Fideuá the most. The carrot cake dessert was full of surprise, every bite gives you a different texture and flavor. Service is exceptional, staff are very attentive. It was a perfect dinner experience.

I lived in Spain for 5 years and this has been the best Spanish food I’ve had in the U.S. after living in Spain. We were greeted with tea which was also delicious, the timing of the plates were perfect and the servers were very gracious. We were there to celebrate a birthday and it was totally worth it… the only touch they missed is doing something additional or special for the birthday, but other than that the food was delicious.
