An Aragonese charcoal grill in the Casco Antiguo built around the region's defining ingredients — ternasco (milk-fed lamb) and borrajas (borage), alongside grilled fish and meats cooked over embers. Los Xarmientos leans on productos de proximidad from the Zaragoza countryside, and the smoke-and-char cooking is the honest heart of Aragonese eating. A grill-house counterpoint to the vermouth-and-tapas lanes nearby.

The ternasco (Aragonese milk-fed lamb) off the charcoal grill, and borrajas when in season. This is the place to eat the region's signature ingredients cooked simply over embers.
Lunch or dinner in the Tue-Sat service windows (13:30-16:00, 20:30-24:00). Closed Sunday and Monday, so plan around that.
An Aragonese grill on Espoz y Mina in the old town, focused on local produce. Closed Sun/Mon. Go for the ternasco and the char — this is regional cooking, not tapas grazing.
