Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! Opens Sister Restaurant in River North Called Lil’ Ba-Ba-Reeba!

Since 1985, Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! has been serving up authentic Spanish cuisine in the heart of Lincoln Park. And now, more than 35 years later, their one-of-a-kind tapas and sangria has a new location as Lil’ Ba-Ba-Reeba opened this week in River North.

The brand new sister restaurant to one of Chicago’s most recognizable establishments opened last week for dine-in, carryout, and delivery at 411 N. Clark St. You can expect the iconic menu of Executive Chef Eric Jorgensen when you come to Lil’ Ba-Ba-Reeba, right down to fan favorites such as Baked Goat Cheese, Spicy Potatoes Bravas, and the signature sangria; a pitcher of which is never enough for this writer’s fine Catalonian sensibilities.

Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba is a restaurant that is known for bringing the true tastes of Spain to Chicago in a versatile atmosphere that’s suitable for any occasion. Truthfully, I’ve gone on a first date at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba. I’ve gotten absolutely hammered off sangria while day drinking at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba. I’ve celebrated various special occasions, gotten dinner with friends, and have ordered takeout all with equal frequency. Needless to say, and for good reason, that Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba has received a lot of my business and I see no reason why Lil’ Ba-Ba-Reeba will not add to the perpetual cycle of emptying my bank account.
