The 25 Best Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Eating at Anelya feels like a fever dream. Trippy flower-like lamps shower this Avondale restaurant in colorful light, while servers zip around with sparkly zakusky carts to the tune of European synthpop. But the excitement really ramps up once the Ukrainian food joins the party. Tiny trout roe tarts cram the flavors of a lox bagel into a single bite, and the lokshyna’s comforting layers of garlicky egg noodles and farmer’s cheese could dethrone ice cream as the go-to post-break-up food. Add Anelya’s boozy housemade vodka infusions and delicious not-too-sweet napoleon to the mix, and you have the best Ukrainian meal in the city. 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
