"Cabra is filled with plants, natural light, and has a great view of the West Loop. They also serve some very good Peruvian food. The best things here are the ceviches—the bass with leche de tigre and the duck are great—and the shrimp tacu tacu, which comes on a delicious crispy rice cake." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"When the chic London-based lifestyle hotel the Hoxton touched down in Chicago in 2019, the company decided to partner with local hitmaker Stephanie Izard of Girl & the Goat fame. Cabra, which claims the Hoxton’s rooftop terrace, is dedicated to Peruvian cuisine and affords awesome views of the West Loop’s cityscape. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Ashok Selvam
"Top Chef winner and Chicago chef Stephanie Izard’s Cabra continues to draw fans to the Hoxton Hotel’s rooftop. Cabra offers a Peruvian-inflected menu that takes cues from seasonal bounty in California. Try the empanadas, hot chorizo and queso dip, bass ceviche, or crispy pork shank with a Sungold tomato salad. The pisco sour is one of the best in town." - Rebecca Roland
"People will lose their sh*t whenever the Girl & the Goat group opens a restaurant, and Cabra, a spot on the roof of the Hoxton Hotel, is from that same team. The space is bright and plant-filled and has a view of the West Loop skyline, which is a thing that suddenly exists, thanks to all the construction in the area. The menu is mainly Peruvian-inspired small plates, and the best things here are the ceviches (the shrimp with leche de tigre and the duck are both standouts), and the crispy pork shank, which might be the opposite of a “small plate” but is a must-order. Cabra is a great spot for a fun date night or a group dinner outside." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru, sam faye
"Sometimes, you just need a calm rooftop dinner spot downtown. Let us introduce you to Cabra. This Peruvian restaurant on top of the Hoxton hotel has several different seating areas where you can scoop ceviche and sip pisco sours with a date or a few friends. The pool is right in the middle of the action, but we’ve never seen anyone dip a single toe in it. But it’s still a great place to wear a blazer, sit near the edge of the water, and take in the great skyline views." - nikko duren, kat hong, brant cox
