Eatery that puts a modern spin on breakfast favorites & offers Greek-inspired dishes & lunch too.
"As tends to happen with the busiest breakfast spots in the city, Kanela has multiplied. There are six locations now, but this is the original, still serving their popular Greek-influenced brunch. There are at least four options for French toast on a given day, and plenty of different egg dishes. Be sure to get some of the sweet cinnamon monkey bread to split for the table." - Josh Barnett
"Kanela is trying to take over the breakfast and lunch game in Chicago, one diner at a time - there are now six locations across the city. The one in Old Town is good for breakfast, brunch, or lunch seven days a week from 8am-3pm. That makes Kanela a serious utility player, with everything from red velvet French toast to crab cake benedict and a croque madame. This place is slammed on the weekends, but if you come during the week you won’t have to wait long." - sam faye, adrian kane
