The Best Restaurants In Lincoln Square - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Lincoln Square might not be the first place you'd expect to see a restaurant with a $190 10-course tasting menu, but that's exactly where you'll find Atelier. And unlike the glitzier, stuffy places downtown, it’s tiny, quiet, relaxed, and minimally decorated. But that’s not to say it lacks personality—the welcoming staff and eclectic playlist that cycles through hip-hop and bluegrass keeps it from feeling uncomfortably sterile. And like the music, each delicious course also covers a lot of ground, jumping from crispy akara, to yuba noodle soup, to a cute mini apple cider donut with tiny edible flowers. It's the perfect place for a refined, low-key celebration." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, sam faye, josh barnett
