  • Topolobampo★ Michelin This jewel in Rick Bayless' crown welcomes a rush of diners for original Mexican food with an upscale twist. The menu, boasting a panoply of flavors and textures, spins with the seasons. Though each dish is rooted in tradition, there's no shortage of flair, as in a celebration of the cuisine of Puebla which featured the memela divorciada. This oval of griddled corn masa, blue on one side and yellow on the other, was filled with black beans, topped with seafood longaniza, and set in a duo of luscious salsas. Other highlights revealed tamal colado presented with roasted poblano cream; and slow-r468m
  • Indienne★ Michelin In a city where kitchens break molds and defy expectations, Chef Sujan Sarkar makes a splash of his own on this quiet strip of River North. Vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian tasting menus deliver an original, modern vision of Indian cuisine. His food may look like pieces of art but taste like familiar favorites pulled from across his vibrant homeland. At times showcasing a hint of French sensibility, pani puris, chats and curries arrive deftly spiced and elegantly presented. The kitchen is quick, and the overall effect is impressive refinement. All the while, the expansive room balances sm857m
  • Oriole★★ Michelin Guests enter this former warehouse through a converted freight elevator, a testament to Oriole’s unique brand of elegance, further exemplified by the striking ceiling collage above the spotless open kitchen. Chef Noah Sandoval and team execute a thoughtful tasting menu that blends French and Japanese elements. Small bites in the impressive bar are accompanied by a welcome drink, and might include a tartlet of Dungeness crab or Hokkaido uni. Then, a mouthwatering canapé of foie gras parfait with pickled strawberries is served overlooking the impressive open kitchen watching the kitchen team in 1.7km
  • Frontera GrillBib This linchpin in Rick Bayless’ empire is decidedly unique in its homage to regional Mexican cuisine and displays a cult-like devotion to local product. From the table-shaken margaritas and the molés to the warm, uplifting music, you'll likely feel you're in Mexico. The menu is ever-changing but begin with the classic Frontera ceviche, a vibrant and refreshing blend of Pacific albacore, lime, tomato, olive and cilantro. Don't miss the specialties, highlighting the flavors of Guerrero on the Pacific Coast, along with sides like roasted cauliflower with poblano crema and melted cheese. Do save ro469m
  • Sepia★ Michelin Housed within a 19th-century print shop, this urbane dining room mixes original details with modern touches. Exposed brick walls and custom tile floors complement floor-to-ceiling wine storage and dramatic chandeliers.Chef Andrew Zimmerman’s menu brings elements of Southeast Asian, Korean, and Mediterranean flavors to American cooking, as in a toasted brioche layered with Délice de Bourgogne cheese, wilted sliced leeks, and black truffle with a tableside pour of a rich and savory leek and popcorn velouté. Grilled sablefish, served Carolina barbecue style, offers a balanced blend of savory, swe1.6km
  • Mako★ Michelin Veteran chef B.K. Park has spun out this inspiring shrine to omakase. With nothing but a lone plaque marking its entrance, this Japanese delight can be tough to spot. But once inside, the surrounding din of traffic fades and you’ll be transfixed by the team's dedication to sushi.Mako is a hot ticket, with just 22 seats from which to savor the smartly considered omakase. Throughout the evening, the chef and itamae showcase their style through unique adornments, like sudachi juice and sesame-pepper soy. Equally enticing are cooked items, like braised abalone or black cod with burnt scallion ponz1.9km
  • Gilt BarBib Doughnuts, dry-aged steaks, and house-made pastas—Hogsalt Hospitality certainly has the lockdown on this corner of River North, but it all started in 2010 with this moody and imposing retreat. The bar up front mixes cocktails to a metronomic rhythm, while the back feels more intimate with studded leather banquettes and nostalgic lighting.True to form, the restaurant excels at big plates and bold flavors. We're hooked on the fried chicken that arrives with a golden-brown crust and rich mashed potatoes. But, who then will order the beef cheek pot pie with bone marrow gravy? You won’t have room f851m
  • Ciccio MioBib The Hogsalt restaurant group isn’t known for restraint and this is certainly true of its latest venture—a saucy, Italian-American looker that goes full-speed ahead in its charming, throwback setting, with bold flavors and hearty portions.Pastas are made in-house, and first timers will want to sample the lasagna Bolognese rotolo, a creative riff on the classic and far lighter than it sounds. Coal-roasted half chicken with slow-roasted garlic, fried oregano and jus is a favorite, and of course, there must be dessert, especially that booze- heavy and decadent tiramisu.856m
  • SifrBib It is difficult to imagine a dinner here that doesn’t include the hummus. A gorgeous mosaic of charred green chickpeas, crispy chickpeas, zhoug, and za’atar raise this familiar dish to wonderful heights. There’s more on the way: A platter of chicken shish taouk that’s marinated in yogurt, crusted in spices and charred all over or halloumi cheese served with beets and finished in a honey and pomegranate molasses. In this quiet, sun-soaked corner of River North, the team behind Indienne hits the mark with this Middle Eastern charmer where tables crowd with dips, small plates, and items hot off t1.0km
  • Next★ Michelin Whether you come to experience the cuisine of ancient Rome or Hollywood, a meal here is pure dinner theater. These culinary themes are unique and thoughtful, leaving diners wondering what's "next."While an earlier Italia menu showcased complex ingredients and flawless flavors and textures (think cacio e pepe and guanciale-wrapped branzino), the most recent "Paris 1906" culinary theme showcased celebrated French chef Auguste Escoffier's classic cuisine. Highlights included carrè d’agneau avec sauce choron, a well-executed plate of lamb and crispy sweetbreads with a vibrant sauce choron. The the2.3km
