The Best Restaurants In Lakeview - Chicago - The Infatuation
"This small BYOB Venezuelan restaurant is located on the cusp of Lakeview and Wrigley, right before the wilderness filled with crazed Cubs fans. Bolivar and Lincoln makes loaded arepas, and has a variety of options like shredded chicken with gouda, NY strip steak, and their take on sausage, egg, and cheese. But our favorite is the Pabellon, which throws sweetness into the mix thanks to caramelized plantains buried underneath a mountain of stewed shredded beef, beans, and cheese. Disclaimer: spillage is an unavoidable part of the eating process here, so definitely ask for extra napkins. It’s pretty small with limited seating, but if you can grab a table it’s a great place to eat and drink before a game." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
