The 38 Essential Restaurants in Chicago

"Chef and owner Jason Hammel continues to keep community at the forefront of operations at Lula Cafe, which has, since 1999, endeared itself to many in Logan Square as a welcoming space for new American cuisine. This is an all-day cafe with fresh-baked pastries and a stellar breakfast burrito. At night, the deep wine list accompanies dishes like roast chicken, beet bruschetta, and summer squash with Santa Rosa plums, Tropea onions, and basil. Find a seat at the bar and enjoy oysters and snacks like chicken liver mousse. Pick up a copy of Hammel’s new cookbook on your way out. Lula won a 2024 James Beard Award for Outstanding Hospitality." - Ashok Selvam
