About Us
Under the direction of Bon Appetit’s Chef of the Year, José Andrés, Jaleo’s menu offers diners an extensive menu of over 60 different hot and cold tapas, little dishes, reflecting the rich regional diversity of classical and contemporary Spanish cuisine. The bar boasts a wide variety of Spanish red, white and rosé wines, available by the glass, as well as a selection of sherries.
Jaleo means “uproar, revelry, merry-making” in Spanish and the restaurant takes its name from the John Singer Sargent painting that hangs in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. The energy and vitality of the painting are reflected in each of Jaleo’s locations which are dominated by large murals inspired Sargent’s flamenco dancer.
Jaleo is brought to you by Roberto Alvarez, Rob Wilder, José Andrés and Antoni Yelamos, the creative team behind some of Washington’s favorite restaurants: Jaleo, Café Atlantico, Zaytinya, minibar by jose andres and Oyamel. |
