Best Tapas Restaurants in Lincoln Park

Bar Mar is always so good to have dinner in the Loop. I think menu was narrowed down this time but every meal on the menu is still SO GREAT

Truly one of the best restaurants in the city. My party of four split 12 tapas and every single one was outstanding! Service is excellent and efficient as well. Highly recommend for both a special occasion or casual dining!

We had an absolutely incredible meal and dining experience at Lil’ Ba Ba Reba. The service was exceptional, cozy ambience on a cold night, meal was paced perfectly and we had a great time celebrating my friends 30th bday. Wouldn’t have wanted to go anywhere else!

Restaurant Review: The Girl and The Goat The Girl and The Goat continues to solidify its reputation as one of Chicago’s must-visit dining destinations. With a focus on bold flavors and a playful approach to globally inspired dishes, this restaurant delivers a truly memorable experience. Highlights: •Bread and Pimento: This dish is deceptively simple but executed to perfection. The warm, freshly baked bread pairs beautifully with the creamy, smoky pimento spread. It’s the kind of starter that sets the tone for an indulgent meal, leaving you reaching for seconds (or thirds). •Empanadas: Bursting with flavor, these are a standout. The flaky, golden crust envelops a perfectly seasoned filling that balances savory richness with a touch of spice. Each bite feels like a small, delicious adventure. Drinks to Complement Your Meal: While The Girl and The Goat boasts a full bar menu offering craft cocktails, wines, and beers to suit any palate, the non-alcoholic options are equally impressive. The menu features thoughtfully crafted mocktails, infused with fresh herbs, seasonal fruits, and house-made syrups. Standouts include a refreshing citrus-and-mint blend and a rich hibiscus and ginger cooler, each perfectly balanced to enhance the meal without overpowering the flavors of the food. Dessert Note: •Chocolate and Peanut Butter Dessert: A decadent and satisfying way to end your meal. The harmony of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate creates a nostalgic yet elevated experience. The textures—silky, crunchy, and smooth—make this dessert unforgettable. The Girl and The Goat’s ability to innovate while staying approachable is what makes it a perennial favorite. From small plates to desserts, and a drink menu that caters to every guest, every dish tells a story worth savoring.

So so amazing! Every bite was absolutely delicious and balanced and thoughtful. Top notch service and perfect pacing. Dessert was so good too. Do not miss!
