Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

In January 2020, Little Madrid Tapas Café opened in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, a small, cozy, and colorful space. The restaurant transported guests back to Old Madrid with its warm atmosphere, delicious flavors, and enticing aromas that emanated from the kitchen. With a global pandemic raging around the world, Little Madrid Tapas Café remained a steady presence in the neighborhood and soon emerged as one of the best Spanish restaurants in Chicago.

Everything about Little Madrid Tapas Cafe was perfect. Having spent many years in Spain, this place is the real deal. They have a fabulous selection of wine and a wide array of traditional tapas and pintxos from anchovies and croquetas to morcilla and queso de cabra. The service was perhaps my favorite part. Our waiter went above and beyond for us and our requests and was very attentive to our needs and experience while also giving us plenty of space to catch up without too many interruptions. This is a gem of a cafe that can serve as both a great date night spot or a place for a casual happy hour with friends or colleagues.

Little Madrid NEVER disappoints, from the delicious and most authentic Spanish food (I have tried many Spanish food restaurants) in Chicago, to the ambience and the service, Little Madrid is always perfect. I will always go to Little Madrid and no other place for a true taste of my Spanish heritage.

I just celebrated my birthday at Little Madrid Tapas Cafe last night and the flamenco show, the vibes and the food were spectacular! This restaurant always takes me back to Spain 🇪🇸 I hope they host flamenco shows often. Thank you for a great birthday celebration!
