Best European Restaurants in Ravenswood

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.

The Date Night menu is perfect. Solid choices, great value. We go a couple of times a year to this friendly little place.

This place is so beautiful inside! The food and service is also great and they even have gluten free bread for toast for my celiac friends. Our server also recommended a grapefruit spritz as a mocktail and it was perfect for brunch. Will definitely go back!

Amazing food and drinks! We had the oysters, half charcuterie board, mussels and the artichokes. Everything was so delicious and 3-4 plates is perfect for 2 people. Our waiter Luis was awesome and always made sure we had everything we needed. It’s a louder vibe so just know that going in, but it’s fun and a great casual dinner spot.

This tiny place is very pleasant, especially at the far back overlooking the courtyard, but accent on the “tiny”. Glad I had reserved a table for a friend’s birthday celebration. We enjoyed our choices of pastry, though I would have liked more true cake choices (only one, dark chocolate.) the cappuccino was good. Glad we checked this place out, and it’s right next door to my favorite P.O.S.H. store. Two good places on the same visit.
