"Bloom is a vegan spot in Wicker Park from the same chef as Amaru, which has a lot of great vegetarian dishes. So it’s no surprise that Bloom’s long menu is full of hits. Like the crispy oyster mushrooms with gochujang, pea risotto, or stuffed piquillos with roasted corn and smoked tempeh. And a lot of the dishes are gluten-free and nut-free, so this place works well for a variety of dietary needs. The space keeps with the theme—it’s filled with plants and is bright enough that you won’t worry if said plants are getting enough light." - adrian kane, john ringor
