El Champi
A classic little bar in El Tubo that serves essentially one thing: garlicky sizzled mushroom skewers, paired with a glass of Somontano wine.
Its official name is La Cueva en Aragón, but locals simply call it El Champi. It's at Calle Libertad 16. The menu is almost a single dish: mushrooms seared on a hot plate, topped with a prawn and drizzled with a sauce of garlic, olive oil and parsley, then served on bread. Locals traditionally pair it with a glass of Aragonese Somontano wine. The place is small, mostly standing room, and turns over quickly, so it's an easy stop as you work your way through El Tubo's bars.
