The Most Fun Dinner Spots In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Borscht is warm. Borscht is comforting. Borscht is also fun when you’re at Anelya. This Ukrainian spot in Avondale is exciting before you even take a seat. Servers zip around with sparkling zakusky carts full of appetizers. Upbeat electronic music hums in the background while flower-like lamps give the dining room a trippy colorful glow. Once you’re ready to order, servers hype up the menu like they’re narrating a sizzle reel full of haluski and kovbasa. And you will, too. Everything is delicious—from the aforementioned beet soup with poached pears and duck to creamy varenyky stuffed with sour cherry and ricotta. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
