How Valois Cafeteria Survived the Pandemic to Celebrate a Century in Hyde Park - Eater Chicago

"Known for its motto 'See Your Food,' Valois Restaurant is a cash-only, cafeteria-style eatery and a staple in Chicago’s culturally diverse Hyde Park neighborhood. It has a wide array of breakfast and lunch options to choose from, such as sweet and fluffy pancakes, specialty hot sandwiches, and the Mediterranean omelet, a favorite of former President Barack Obama, who continues to visit Valois on trips home to Chicago. Valois has been in business since 1921 and has maintained a comfortable atmosphere, familiar service, and fantastic food over the years." - Phaithe Norman
