In 1975, Chateau of Spain was born from a group of local investors looking to build on the growing Spanish and Portuguese presence in the city. In 1989, Bill Oliveira and Joe Conceicao purchased the restaurant, bringing their past restaurant experience into creating a mainstay of Spanish and Portuguese cuisine in downtown Newark. Family-owned and operated, Chateau of Spain continues to provide a friendly ambiance unmatched in other Newark restaurants, from the first floor bar area to our fine dining hall, with catering for up to 120 guests. The next time you’re in our neighborhood, whether for your lunch break or an event at the Prudential Center or NJPAC, we invite you to experience Chateau’s quality service and cuisine that has kept customers coming back for years.
