Tres Gatos

Tres Gatos on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain combines a tapas restaurant with a book and record shop, so dinner can end with something new to read or play. The Spanish-inspired menu starts with cheeses, cured meats and snacks, then moves into shared plates and paella. Patatas bravas and tortilla española sit alongside dishes that change with the seasons, including vegetables, seafood and meat. You can order a few plates to split or build a longer dinner around them. Drinks have their own menu, and reservations are available. Leave yourself time to browse the shop: the books and vinyl are part of the visit, not just decorations around the tables.
