Inside Campo Food Hall, King West’s new all-day Spanish market and restaurant

Inspired by the all-day markets and tapas bars of Spain, Campo Food Hall is chef Rob Bragagnolo’s (Carver) early-morning-to-late-night food emporium. Here, visitors will find an ELXR beverage bar; a grab-and-go counter stocked with pastries, salads and prepared hot dishes; a retail section stocked with Spanish cheese and conservas; a full-service bar pouring Spanish wine, Spanish beer and plenty of vermouth; and Labora, a sit-down restaurant. Influenced by the time he spent living in Majorca and staging in Barcelona at Albert Adrià’s boundary-pushing tapas bar, Tickets, Bragagnolo’s menu is heavy on veggies and seafood, made with supplies imported from Spain. At night, the multi-concept space supports Labora, his tapas restaurant that serves everything from simple sliced jamón and bread to fresh plancha-grilled seafood. Take a look around:

The 3,500-square-foot space, designed by Commute Design, can seat 70:
