Environment and philosophy

Café Chicago combines a cozy atmosphere with generous, traditional cuisine. Although its location is discreet at 1 Batalla de Bailén Street, its fame transcends the neighborhood thanks to the exceptional quality of its dishes. It is an ideal destination for both informal gatherings and enjoying Castilian cuisine at its finest.

This restaurant is a must-visit for those looking to experience authentic traditional Spanish cuisine with an Aragonese touch.

Specialties

Café Chicago is primarily known for its torreznos, considered the best in the world. This recognition is no coincidence, as the restaurant has won the prestigious "Best Torrezno in the World" competition twice in a row (2024 and 2025). Café Chicago's torreznos shine with their golden, crispy crust, with even bubbles that contrast with a juicy, creamy interior. They are prepared following a meticulous technique: they are slowly fried in sunflower oil until they reach the perfect texture.

In addition to the torreznos, another iconic dish of the restaurant is the stewed potatoes, precursors to huevos rotos. This dish is made with sour potatoes and has been a part of their menu since the beginning. They also offer a wide selection of sandwiches (more than 15 varieties), artisan burgers, a barbecue menu with meats like ribeye steak and Moorish kebabs, and generous desserts.

Among its most notable offerings is the XXL cachopo, accompanied by salad and stewed potatoes, ideal for sharing among several diners.
