Restaurant Tipperary - Choquera

A celebration of Spanish culture and tradition brought to life

“Choquera” is a word with deep roots—it refers to a woman from Huelva, a historic port city in Andalusia, southern Spain. The name pays tribute to the heart and soul of our identity: a proud connection to Andalusian culture, tradition, and hospitality.

Andalusia

Rooted in the heart of Andalusia, Choquera embodies the vibrant spirit, timeless craftsmanship, and rich culinary heritage of Spain. Our name pays homage to Huelva, lovingly referred to as “la tierra Choquera,” and serves as a testament to the pride and passion we have for our origins. Every product we offer has been thoughtfully selected to tell a story—whether it’s the robust flavours of extra virgin olive oil, artisanal cheeses, or the sweet indulgence of traditional desserts. At Choquera, we aim to create an experience that transports you to the cobblestone streets, lush fields, and bustling markets of Spain, all while fostering a sense of belonging and discovery. Come join us as we celebrate the best of Spain, one bite, one sip, and one moment at a time!

Just as Huelva blends coastal charm with rich culinary heritage, Choquera Bakery, Bistro & Gourmet Shop brings the authentic flavours, warmth, and artistry of southern Spain to Ireland—with heart, craft, and Amor.

Choquera is a Spanish bistro, bakery, and gourmet shop

Founded by Cinta and John, who are passionate about bringing authentic Spanish cuisine to Ireland. We pride ourselves on high-quality products made with carefully sourced artisan ingredients from Spain and Ireland.

Choquera began in 2011, specializing in artisan and continental baked goods, supplying restaurants and cafes across Munster. By 2018, we expanded our baking range to include sourdough, Spanish, and other continental specialty bakes. Operating as a micro bakery, we brought our passion to farmers markets in Castletroy, Shannon, and the Milk Market in Limerick city, using our trailer, which is now stationed beside our Bistro, Bakery & Gourmet Shop.

In April 2022, we opened our doors in Newport, offering a warm and welcoming space where customers can experience our love for authentic Spanish flavours. We proudly serve single-origin coffee, artisan baked goods, and gourmet groceries imported directly from Spain, alongside authentic, made-in-house Spanish specialties prepared with Amor. Our carefully curated selection includes Spanish wines and beers sourced directly from Spain, bringing a true taste of Andalusia to Ireland.

At Choquera, we are passionate about bringing the heart of Spain to every corner of Newport. Founded with love and a deep connection to Spanish heritage, our goal is to create a welcoming space where everyone can experience the warmth, flavours, and traditions that make Spain so special. From handcrafted dishes inspired by family recipes to a carefully curated selection of gourmet Spanish products, every detail reflects our dedication to authenticity.
