Bocadillo Market

"A Spanish restaurant near the corner of Clark and Fullerton in Lincoln Park, lauded for its larger-than-traditional bocadillo sandwiches and diverse culinary influences. It offers an all-day cafe with sandwiches, pastries, and coffee in the morning and afternoon, and formal dinner service at night." - Ashok Selvam

"This brightly lit Spanish restaurant in Lincoln Park feels like a coffee shop, which makes sense, because they’re open all day for pastries and sandwiches. And while your hair looks great in natural light, it will be absolutely luminescent under the string lights in their back patio. It’s a lovely space to hang out - small (only about six tables), with Spanish music playing in the background. And it’s also the perfect place to eat pretty (and tasty) dishes like tiny pieces of french toast topped with foie gras and jam, a wonderful vegetable pisto with manchego and a duck egg, and tender Iberico pork with pickled snap peas. It’s BYOB, so grab a bottle of wine from The Big Apple grocery store across the street." - adrian kane

"Bocadillo Market is one of the most unique spots in Chicago, an all-day cafe that’s Spanish influenced, with sandwiches during the day and composed meals at night from James Martin, a chef who’s earned recognition from the James Beard Foundation. Hidden away from Lincoln Park, this comfy cafe brews satisfying coffees and pairs them with Martin’s pastries." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

"Chef James Martin has created a welcoming Spanish all-day restaurant in Lincoln Park. The space will remind customers of Europe and the food does its best to mix Spanish and American culture. For example, the smoked lamb short rib sandwich (it’s not a McRib; confused customers are likely why management just calls it a lamb sandwich now) is large enough so a hungry Chicagoan won’t complain. It’s delicate and the pickled green beans are a nice touch. It’s a great pick-me-up on the way to the beach or Lincoln Park Zoo." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Chef James Martin takes a creative spin through Spain with Bocadillo Market. Daytime service features sandwiches and coffee with counter service on weekdays, with full-service dinner at night. The weekend brunch is a must for parents with plenty of child-friendly items and serves who are accommodating. The confit duck and waffle is genius, something adults can enjoy and perhaps split with a child." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
