Elske

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

"Elske’s enclosed courtyard, complete with fur-caped benches, folded fleece blankets, and a roaring outdoor fireplace, is the picture definition of hygge. The name, too—Danish for “love”—hints at what to expect from wife-husband duo Anna and David Posey. They offer two options for dining, so you’re not locked in to an hours-long meal if you don't want to be, and the reasonably-priced-for-its-quality tasting menu ($125) features eight courses of new American dishes that are kissed with Danish touches. It’s truly a special restaurant, serving intensely personal dishes showcasing a mastery of ingredients, presentation, and subtle flavors" - Nicole Schnitzler, Brad Japhe
