Beatrix Market

"When the morning needs museum-visit strategizing and a solid sit-down meal, consider Beatrix in River North for a power breakfast. The massive and sunny dining room thrives on efficiency, as tourists and families fuel up with safe classics like the soft oven-baked brioche and non-sweet brunch options like the spicy green chili and chicken enchilada. Beatrix also has a large bakery and coffee stand in the center, so grab an apple vegan muffin or lavender honey latte to-go before finally checking out the Chicago Medieval Torture Museum.

"When: Mon-Fri 3-6pm The Deal: $5 Select Beer, $6 Wine, $7 Cocktails, $12 Burger (With Beverage) Like a Tom Hanks movie from the '90s, Beatrix’s food is well-made and designed to appeal to a large amount of people. The menu has a wide range of options to choose from, like grain bowls, salmon, salads, and tacos, and a solid burger that’s only $12 (with a beverage) during their Happy Hour. So if you want a place to catch up with friends and the only thing you can all agree on is wine, come here." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"Beatrix is an excellent spot for a power business meeting on your way to work. All of the River North, Fulton Market, and Streeterville locations are comfortable spaces with lighter options like oatmeal, plus more substantial breakfast dishes like shakshuka and pancakes. You can also stop at the coffee and pastry counter by yourself for something to go." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
