Restaurante Chikito

Restaurante Chikito is a historic restaurant on Plaza del Campillo, 9, in central Granada, Andalusia, Spain, a short walk from Puerta Real and the Plaza Nueva area. It is a traditional table-service restaurant rather than a counter bar, and it is closely associated with the classic cooking of the city. The cuisine is Granadino. Signature dishes include tortilla Sacromonte, the local omelette made with lamb offal, brains and vegetables that takes its name from the Sacromonte hill, and ensalada granadina, a salad of salt cod and orange. Both are emblematic of the city's food, and the restaurant is a common place for visitors to try them. A menú del día (set lunch menu) is also served, offering a fixed-price route through the local repertoire. The dining room has a traditional character, with a calm atmosphere compared with the lively tapas bars nearby; the plaza setting adds to the sense of an established neighbourhood institution. There is no formal dress code, and noise levels are moderate. Wines are largely regional and Spanish, with beer and vermouth also available. Reservations are recommended for dinner and can be made on +34 958 22 33 64. Lunch is typically easier to walk into, especially on weekdays. Typical spending is about €20–€35 (roughly $23–$40.25) per person, depending on whether the set menu or à la carte dishes are chosen. Opening is generally for weekday lunch and dinner, and the restaurant is closed on Mondays; visitors should confirm locally. The set lunch is usually the more economical way to eat here, and an à la carte dinner allows more of the local specialities to be ordered. The location is convenient for a meal before or after a visit to the cathedral, Royal Chapel and the shopping streets nearby, which makes it a practical choice for a sit-down Granadino meal in the centre.
