29 Best Restaurants in Chicago, From Deep-Dish Joints to Ethiopian Eateries | Condé Nast Traveler

"A short black-tile walkway beneath a millennial pink neon sign—a modern “X marks the spot”—brings you into El Che Bar’s sexy, darkly decorated space. Dark tile, dark walls, dark furnishings: It's all surprisingly welcoming, given its ultra-cool vibes. Wanting to pay homage to Argentina’s grilling culture, chef John Manion enlisted dramatic crank-controlled grills to serve up meaty, smoky fare of all types. Splurge on steak, to be sure, along with items like East Coast oysters, empanadas, and (whatever you do) the quail." - Nicole Schnitzler, Brad Japhe
