About Cafe Ba Ba Reeba

Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! is a premier Spanish tapas restaurant located in both Chicago and Las Vegas. Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! is known for  Tapas, the hot & cold appetizers of Spain; Paella, a typical Valencian rice dish served with vegetables and meat or seafood; and Sangria, Spain’s famous wine “fiesta” drink made from fruit, wine and liquors. Cafe Ba Ba Reeba! is owned by Chef Gabino Sotelino and Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises.

Zagat Survey says...

"Sharing can be fun" at this Lincoln Park tapas bar (Chicago's first) with superb paela", "excellent sangria", a "super outdoor" patio and a "fun and flirty" atmosphere that's "good for groups", especially "adventurous out-of-towners"; most agree it's "still the best" in its genre.

From Chef gabino sotelino

“Our authentic Spanish tapas and paella are served in small portions so you can explore all the different flavors of Spain.

Café Ba Ba Reeba is a part of me. Having been born in Spain and still spend quite a bit of time there, to me it represents a melding of cultures; from the Basque region of my mother and the Galician land of my father to all the rest of the regions that make up the country. Here, we represent Spain to you with all the color and inspiration of these cultures in our food, our decor, and our service.


 

Whatever room you find yourself in, you are in the heart of the country of my youth. our distinct wish is to appeal to the Spaniard in everyone. When you come to my restaurant for the sherry, the sangria, or the food, you will feel like I feel in my soul... the soul of Spain.”
