Restaurants in Chicago - Illinois
From pizza and hot dogs to ethnic food and haute cuisine, Chicago's restaurants can satisfy any palate.
The Chicago restaurants below have been hand-picked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over
US$40)
Moderate (
US$20 to US$40)
Cheap (up to US$20)
These Chicago restaurant prices are based on the average price of a three-course meal and a bottle of house wine or equivalent, excluding sales tax and tips unless otherwise stated. Restaurants charge sales tax, 10.25%, and it is customary to add a 15-20% tip to all bills.
Gibson's
Price: Expensive
Cuisine: Steakhouse
Gibson's is a favourite for native carnivores, tourists and celebrities like
Michael Jordan. A friendly staff serves steaks smothered with any combination of blue cheese, onions, crushed pepper, mushrooms, garlic or
Cajun rub.
Consider sharing your meal because it portions are laughingly large - potatoes almost the size of footballs, humungous desserts and beef portions so huge, the only thing missing are the horns and the tail.

North Rush St.,
Chicago, Illinois, United States
Allium
Price: Expensive
Cuisine:
American
Contemporary American food includes succulent chops from local farms, dry aged steaks, to innovative garden pea and coconut curry soup and ricotta dumplings, all presided over by award-winning chef
Kevin Hickey. Located on the seventh floor of the
Four Seasons Chicago hotel, admire magnificent views as you tuck into dinner amid sophisticated surroundings - a marble fireplace and cheetah-print sofa are the talking points.

120 East Delaware Place, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Fogo de Chão
Price: Expensive
Cuisine: Brazilian
A ranchy atmosphere prepares the diner for espeto corridor (continuous service). Diners receive a two-sided chip.
Green side means 'go' and will immediately summon a gaucho chef. He will have long skewer of one of 15 different cuts of meat to carve at your table.
Turn the chip to red and be left to savour those numerous tasty morsels. Accompaniments include a massive salad bar and a fine wine selection.
Address: 661 North
LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Kit Kat Lounge
Price: Moderate
Cuisine:
European
The Martinis, food and entertainment all feature twists, spice and kicks at this cosy
1940s motif venue. While the
Andrew Sisters warble away, diners can delight in such specialities as a
Clark Gable (a skirt steak salad), a
Judy Garland (salmon fillet) or a
Joan Collins (stuffed portabello mushrooms).
Soon the lights will begin to flash, the music volume will increase, and a female impersonator will provide cabaret entertainment.
Except for Fridays and Saturdays, there are nightly specials like the second main course at half price on Wednesday, a bottle of wine for one cent with two main courses on Thursday and half-price
Martinis on
Sundays and Tuesdays.
Closed Monday. No lunch.
Address:
3700 North Halsted Street,
Lake View, Chicago,
Illinois, United States
Park Grill
Price: Moderate
Cuisine: American
Probably the best people-watching restaurant in the city, Park Grill is located on the
Michigan Avenue side of
Millennium Park.
Black chairs and booths accented with dark woods decorate this dimly lit venue. Outdoor summer dining is replaced with an ice rink in winter. Considering the restaurant is situated within one of Chicago's most popular tourist attractions, dishes like the pork tenderloin are surprisingly tasty and reasonably priced.
Service is another story.
Address: 11
North Michigan Avenue in Millennium Park, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Petterino's
Price: Moderate
Cuisine:
Italian
The retro trend is alive and well at this eating locale adjacent to the
Goodman Theatre.
White tablecloths, semi-circular red booths and caricatures of famous Chicagoans, like
Harrison Ford (who grew up in the
Chicago suburbs), decorate the walls, while
Frank Sinatra and
Ella Fitzgerald can be heard in the background. Tuxedoed waiters serve classic Italian fare, as well as steaks and roasts.
