Peruvian rooftop dining with ceviche, small plates & views
"You can take the girl out of Girl and the Goat, but you can’t take the GOAT out of Stephanie Izard’s culinary vision. Such is the case with Cabra (which means “goat” in Spanish), Izard’s newest restaurant, which honors her travels in Lima and throughout Peru. Sample bright, shareable plates that capture the flavors of these regions, from chicken thigh anticucho (with peanut chimichurri and yuzu cilantro) to pork shank (with pickles, plums, and sweet potato flatbread). The menu here emphasizes seasonal ceviches and tiraditos, too." - Nicole Schnitzler
"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
