Restaurant recommendation Please

Hello Chicago!!!  

 
I'm so excited to visit your beautiful city for the first time next week and I'm wondering if anyone would be kind to share some good restaurants in the area ? Oak Brook and Magnificent Mile area.

Thank You !!!
Paloma

Depends on cuisine...

David Burke for steak
Mercadito for Mexican
Purple Pig for charcuterie  
16 for all around amazing
Three Dots and a Dash for clandestine tiki drinks
Gilt Bar for hearty gastro American (very sexy in there as well)
Sable at the Hotel Palomar for cocktails
Celeste for great drinks and delicious food

Search "new restaurants Chicago"; it'll help too.

This list reminds me...

that I haven't been downtown forever. I haven't heard of one of those restaurants, we live such a sheltered life in suburgatory :-)

Re: This list reminds me...

well, it used to be my job to know all of the latest and newest restaurants in the city;  the list would be far more extensive if palomaa up there was interested in branching out to other areas of the city with really great restaurants.  ;)

Many awesome places to eat and drink abound in this ciry; I'd highly consider checking out other places not "downtown"
Sepia
Blackbird
iNG
The Aviary (i was REALLY impressed. It's a bar unlike any other)
Publican
Maude's Liquor Bar (actually a restaurant, and its super sexy in there)
Trenchermen
The Dawson
The Gage
Au Cheval

I could go on; different places to go in different areas of the city. Chicago is a great place to eat and drink well. :

You're killing me Erin :-)

I don't know any of those places either, lol. Guess I should come into the city more frequently than once every 10 years.

Paloma could probably use some good places out in the west burbs too :-)

It really depends on what you have a taste for

But you can never go wrong with
Grand luxe cafe
Akor roka
Tarven(rush or at the park)
And of course, girl and the goat

Don't know any restaurants that stands out in oak brook :/ Devon seafood is alright

Depends on what you are looking for....

If you like sushi you MUST go to Japonais- if they have opened. I know I wanted to take a guest there and they were closed for renovations.

If you are a vegetarian you MUST go to the Green Zebra. The only issue with them is the portions are TINY, but u order many things. It's a good date place, very nice atmosphere. And really, even if your not a vegetarian you can't tell some of the dishes don't have meat.  

Chicago Style Pizza- Go to Lou Malnatis and get the Lou Deep Dish..mmmmmmm

Those are just the one's I think of right away, because I deeply enjoy all of those foods.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned...

The Frontera Grill/Topolobampo… It is my absolute favorite in ChiTown.

I didn't mention it...

...for 2 reasons.  

1. Rick Bayless is a pompous, rude white dude who thinks he is king of Mexican food. I could tell you why I feel this way privately.
2. The meals I've had there (because of the job I used to do) weren't worth what I paid. If you want Mexican in River North, go to Mercadito (which is owned by a trio of Mexican brothers). If you want super authentic Mexican, that requires a trip to Pilsen

The wiener circle on clark in Lincoln park.  Go after midnight and ask for the chocolate shake ... you have never had anything like it before

Gaylord's. Holy shit it's so good.

I'm addicted to Indian food, and that place it just exceptional. Try the garlic naan and saag paneer.

I do, especially when it comes to spicy food. The hotter, the better!

Erin if you do not know about something then do not accuse others of racism ... the chocolate shake at wiener circle is a real thing.  The employees lift their shirts and shake their tits, look it up on YouTube.  Now I am waiting for your apology
