Papa Cenar - Chicago

The staff at this restaurant is amazing, and the food is excellent! Michael Taus always delivers impressive dishes!

The food was fantastic! The chef personally came to our table and chatted with us, which was a pleasant surprise and very hospitable. Our entire family loved everything from the beef short ribs, paella, mussels, fries, salmon, and especially the bone marrow. Delicious! The atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent. The waitstaff and busboys were very attentive. We will definitely be returning!

This was the first time we had come to Papa Cenar and we chose it for a nice dinner after a few rough work weeks. My husband really wanted steak so that was the main requirement for where we ate. Since the restaurant is relatively new and we had never been, we weren't sure what to expect. Everything about our experience was 5 stars- sangria, wine selection, service, food, music- all of it. The head chef came by to visit and shared his inspiration for one of our dishes. I appreciated that he was passionate about one of the cheaper items we selected instead of talking up the steak, which was also amazing anyways. We will definitely be back for many occasions as well as just because. Hopefully we'll save some room for dessert next time, everything was so promising!

The food was excellent!! I'm already craving the short ribs, deviled eggs, bone marrow etc. Now I'm really psyched to try the new menu next week love the space as well great ambiance! Already looking forward to coming back. Thx Papa Cenar!

Ricky was amazing! The cocktails were delicious. The food was decent, but not as outstanding as the other restaurants within this same group.
