Spanish cuisine served simply and sumptuously.
Tapas, or "small plates" is a dining tradition that has long been
a part of Spain's culture. At Solera, we believe tapas' encourages tasting and sharing a variety of unique foods to create a lively
and entertaining atmosphere.
At Solera, we believe in taking fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and transforming them into the most authentic Spanish cuisine in the Twin Cities. Whether you pop in for some delicious tapas before a show; come up to our famous rooftop for a sangria and house-prepared charcuterie; or enjoy a leisurely evening of paella with a bottle of Spanish wine (from one of the largest collections in the U.S.), this is the place. And it's all right in the heart of the Minneapolis Theater District.
Hosting an event? Infuse it with a splash of Spanish culture.
We have several event spaces for every sized group from 10 to 1,000 – indoors or out. We will make your experience at Solera unforgettable.
Our Chef Solera Executive Chef, Jorge Guzman believes in cuisine that
is simple, traditional and uniquely approachable. After graduating from Drake University and The Culinary Institute of America in New York, he spent a few years working in Charleston, Denver & Chicago. He then landed as the Executive Chef at Tejas in 2007 followed by Chef de Cuisine at the Corner Table in 2009.
In January 2011, Jorge brought his talents
and skills to Solera where he adds his own unique flavors to Spanish food, while still maintaining a strong traditional approach and respect for Spanish cuisine. But, with an earnest smile he'll tell you that he just
makes simple food with great ingredients.
