Basque Block kitchens
Bar Gernika serves Basque pub fare such as croquetas, solomo, chorizo, and lamb dishes. The Basque Market is the better fit for rotating pintxos, tapas, paella, and a market-counter lunch.

Northwest dining rooms
Percy, Fork, and Trillium approach regional ingredients from different rooms and price points. Their menus reach beyond the steak-and-potatoes shorthand often attached to Idaho cooking.
Sourdough pizza and patios
The Wylder's naturally leavened sourdough pizza and shareable plates suit groups looking for a patio, cocktails, and a less formal downtown table.
Barbecue, Korean food, and pub cooking
Saint Lawrence Gridiron, House of the Little Pig, and Bittercreek Alehouse widen downtown beyond one regional style with smoked meats, rice and noodle dishes, fried chicken, burgers, poutine, and Idaho beer.

Basque food on Grove Street
Choose Bar Gernika for a compact pub meal built around croquetas, Basque sandwiches, chorizo, and lamb. Choose The Basque Market for pintxos, tapas, paella, Spanish wine, and rotating lunch specials. Check each business's current hours before the museum visit.
Patio, pizza, or dining room
8th Street patios put diners in the busiest part of downtown. The Wylder offers sourdough pizza and shareable plates, while Percy and Trillium suit a longer full-service dinner with cocktails.
Barbecue, Korean food, and pub cooking
Saint Lawrence Gridiron centers smoked meats, House of the Little Pig serves Korean comfort food, and Bittercreek pairs pub cooking with a broad beer list. Each offers a distinct alternative to Boise's Northwest dining rooms.
