LOCAL TAPAS RESTAURANT RICH IN HISTORY Meson Sabika is an award-winning Spanish Tapas restaurant that has resided in an 1847 Georgian mansion since 1990. The restaurant offers a unique and unmatched dining experience. Guests can dine indoors and enjoy the grace and charm reminiscent of a European Villa or can choose to sit outdoors on the terrace while enjoying the ultimate alfresco experience underneath 150-year-old oak trees which cover the estate.  The Willoway Mansion was built in 1847 and sits on a pristine four-acre estate near downtown Naperville. After a meticulous renovation that brought back the mansion’s original charm as well as added modern conveniences to the restaurant, Mesón Sabika opened its doors in 1990.  Guests will find that each item on the menu offers a taste of Spain. Whether it’s enjoying hot and cold tapas, sangria, an entree or a vintage wine – there’s always a pleasant combination of exceptional food, friendly service, and unique atmosphere where family and friendship can live life in celebration.  Their award-winning Sunday Brunch buffet consists of hot and cold tapas, as well as a carving station, hot soup, fresh fruit, paella and breakfast items. Included in the brunch are made to-order omelets and home-made desserts from the kitchen. Beverages include one glass of champagne or a mimosa for adults 21 and over, as well as juice, soda, tea and coffee.  Additionally, Mesón Sabika is a popular venue for weddings and events in the Chicagoland area.  Meson Sabika

Meson Sabika 25 Aurora Avenue, Naperville www.mesonsabika.com (630) 983-3000  A TASTE OF SPAIN UNDER THE SUN The most wonderful thing about summer is being outside underneath the blue skies.  We found the most charming place to dine alfresco.   Near downtown Naperville on 5 acres nestled among 150 year old oaks sits the Georgian Style Willoway Mansion.  Built in 1847 and restored in 1990, this estate became the home of Meson Sabika.  They have been serving traditional Spanish style tapas for 25 years.  Tapas style dining originated in southern Spain.  The word tapa is derived from the Spanish verb tapar which translates to “cover”.  Travelers were served snacks or “tapas” which would include slices of bread, meat or cheese that they would use to cover their glasses between sips.  Whether you are new to Spanish tapas or love the traditional hot and cold dishes, there is no better way to try them all than Meson Sabika’s Sunday brunch.    Every Sunday from 10:30-2:00 food lines the inside and spills outside on the patio.  The Buffet includes hot and cold Spanish style tapas – patatas con alioli, jamon serrano con queso, pincho de solomillo, datiles con tocino; a carving station of prime rib, fresh ripe fruit, paella – a saffron rice baked with vegetables, shrimp, mussels, clams and scallops; made to order omelets – filled with manchengo cheese and chorizo; traditional breakfast items – scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes rolled and filled with apples.  Each adult brunch includes one mimosa or a glass of Cava, a sparkling wine from Spain.   Nothing is over looked at this brunch.  Even the children have a special table, just their size so they can serve themselves filled with chicken fingers, hot dogs, hamburgers and fun snacks.  Do not forget to leave a little room for dessert.  Each dessert is made to order off the brunch menu.  A few choices include, Profiteroles del Pirineo, twin puff pastries filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate sauce, the flan of the day or Frutas con Mousse Blanco, fresh berries drizzled with raspberry coulis, served with chocolate mousse. Buen provecho!  $32.95 per person, $14.95 children ages 12-6, children 6 and under free.  Sundays 10:30-2:00  ABOUT THE CRITICS Stephanie & Tiffany Schmoker are west suburban sisters who have always shared a love for dining out and they also enjoy cooking together.
