When you think of brunch in Logan Square two restaurants probably come to mind: Lula Cafe and Longman and Eagle. This past weekend I had plans to dine at Lula, but based on the crowd of at least fifty people standing outside we opted to go elsewhere. Lucky for us, my Chicago neighborhood post from…
Fig & Olive
This past weekend I had the pleasure of dining at Fig & Olive for brunch with Kevin and some of our friends. Fig & Olive just opened in Chicago last summer, but had previously made a name for itself in New York City and Southern California. Fig & Olive is located amidst the fabulous designer…
Piccolo Sogno
For my birthday this year Kevin took me to Piccolo Sogno for dinner. Piccolo Sogno is not new to the Chicago restaurant scene, but has been on my restaurant bucket list since I first moved here. Known for their stunning outdoor space and authentic Italian cuisine, everything about our experience at Piccolo Sogno was nothing…
Big Star
Big Star is one of those neighborhood restaurants that is an absolute summer must for Chicago locals. Their patio (which they have recently expanded) is one of the best in the city and you can’t beat their tacos and margaritas! source This past weekend Kevin and I spent a good part of the afternoon eating…
Barcocina
This past weekend Kevin and I met some friends for Sunday Funday at a new hangout in Lakeview called Barcocina. The food at Barcocina fuses traditional Mexican cuisine with other cultural fare like Asian and American. The restaurant is open air with large garage doors which makes it the perfect summer hangout. Their motto is…
Homeslice
Two of my favorite things would definitely be brunch and dining al fresco. Put the two together and I am one happy girl. So when the first warm Sunday arrived in Chicago several weeks ago you better believe I was brunching outside. Even better than a patio brunch is a patio brunch that involves pizza. Homeslice Pizza is a…
Dove’s Luncheonette
To me there is nothing more comforting than a hearty diner breakfast on a cold and rainy day. A couple of Sundays ago presented that exact kind of weather so Kevin and I decided to check out Dove’s Luncheonette for brunch. source Dove’s Luncheonette is part of One Off Hospitality Group which includes some of…
Autre Monde
This past weekend Kevin and I spent our Friday date night at Autre Monde. Autre Monde means “another world” in French. As their website says, “Autre Monde Cafe is a neighborhood restaurant celebrating all things Mediterranean with a fresh, seasonal menu, old world focused wine list showcasing the best organic & artisan producers as well…
Charlatan
Last week I met some ladies from my church small group for dinner at Charlatan. Charlatan is a new restaurant on the Chicago food scene that debuted its menu last October. Charlatan is the brainchild of the owners of the popular Little Italy spot, Three Aces. The concept of this new spot is to “bring…
Parkers’ Restaurant and Bar
A few weeks ago Kevin and I joined his parents for dinner at Parkers’ Restaurant and Bar in Downers Grove. The restaurant is located right off of a main highway next to office buildings so can seem unassuming from the outside, but we were all pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. source When we…
