Seasonal small plates, charcuterie, cocktails, and wine
"A MICHELIN Guide–recommended gem where French classics mingle with Mediterranean flavours on a seasonally changing menu." - Aashna Gajra
"Pompette is an all-day cafe, and it’s one of those cute little restaurants with plants and hanging globe lights that’ll make you say, “What a cute little restaurant” when you walk in with some friends. The menu is mainly small plates from a team of chefs who worked at tasting menu spots like Alinea, Elske, and Moody Tongue. They have tasty things like crab croquettes sitting on saffron aioli or grilled shrimp with butternut squash for dinner, along with seasonal quiches and a veggie hash when you need to answer the call of midweek brunch." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen
"This sleek cafe on the corner of Armitage and Damen is open for lunch and dinner, but the burger is only listed on the lunch and weekend brunch menus. It’s a double stack of thin beef patties with caramelized onions, arugula, and American cheese. The lovely thing about this burger is, No. 1, that it isn’t a smash burger — it’s thin, but retains a juiciness without being too much of a meat bomb. The other fun thing is that the greens actually accent the burger and just don’t act as a relish." - Ashok Selvam
"Pompette is an all-day cafe in Bucktown, and it’s one of those cute little restaurants that’ll make you say “what a cute little restaurant” when you sit down. The narrow space is sparsely decorated with a couple of plants and hanging globe lights. The menu is mainly small plates from a team of chefs who worked at tasting menu spots like Alinea, Elske, and Moody Tongue. They have tasty things like cinnamon rolls, veggie hash, and a Dutch baby with caramel pears. It’s the kind of useful place you go to catch up with friends, and remark to each other afterward “what a cute little restaurant, let's do this again.”" - adrian kane, john ringor
"A contemporary restaurant offering a seasonal menu with an ever-changing selection of dishes." - Kevin Chau
