Aragonese food is robust and meat-heavy: roast lamb (ternasco de Aragón), cured Teruel ham, and migas (breadcrumbs fried with pork and garlic). The streets west of the Basílica del Pilar — around Calle del Temple and Calle de la Libertad — are packed with tapas bars and pintxo bars in the early evening.
Casa Lac (Calle de los Mártires 12) claims to be the oldest restaurant in Spain, open since 1825, and still serves traditional Aragonese dishes in a formal dining room. La Rinconada de Lorenzo (Calle de la Salle 3) has long been the local choice for good Aragonese cooking at reasonable prices. For a cheaper, more casual meal, the tapas bars around Calle de Heroísmo and Calle de los Estébanes in the old town are reliable and genuinely busy with locals rather than tourists.
