CHICAGO
Eleven Eleven Chicago
Permanently Closed
West Loop mainstay.
Orso's Restaurant
Italian restaurant · Old Town
Classic "red sauce joint" - sit at the bar.
Osteria Langhe
Italian restaurant · Logan Square
Relaxed and classic, but ultimately modern Italian.
Dancen
Korean restaurant · Ravenswood
Slightly odd, in a good way, KBBQ. Spicy pork skins with a side of peanut dust is the go-to.
Mr. J's Dawg & Burger
Fast food restaurant · Near North Side
Is what it is.
Ramen Takeya
Permanently Closed
Best Ramen in Chicago.
RL Restaurant
American restaurant · Near North Side
Obvious, but fantastic. Sunday and Tuesday early evenings are best.
Tank Noodle
Vietnamese restaurant · Uptown
Pho. Take the Redline up.
Pizano's Pizza & Pasta
Pizza restaurant · Near North Side
Last "Chicago" feeling bar downtown in a lot of ways.
S.K.Y.
American restaurant · Lincoln Park
I've never in my life enjoyed a more exciting and consistent restaurant. Hard to describe their cuisine.
