A true Chicago icon of a restaurant right in the heart of Logan Square. I highly recommend eating at Lula Cafe for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Because yup they serve all of those and they are equally excellent!

Everything here is executed beautifully. Cute husband and wife owned restaurant - insanely awesome brunch and also great for afternoon oysters and bubbles and cheese. The pastries rock, and you can also purchase wine and things to-go (like all of the essentials for a picnic). Must-try.

Awesome corner bakery locally owned and very cute inside! The pies are to die for - especially key lime, and so are the peanut butter cookies, and the floats! Also great for breakfast sandwich or quiche - a neighborhood gem!

New restaurant that is DELICIOUS and serving Chicago cuisine. Super neat place to check out - and have a true Chicago (Maxwell Street inspired) meal with dishes like matzo ball soup and shrimp de jonghe. It can be super casual with a char burger and cheese fries or prime rib sandwich, or sophisticated with house-made pasta or whole fish or rack of lamb. Did I mention the food is fantastic? Also KILLER wine list, and great cocktails. Sweet space!

Located right on "Randolph Row" of restaurants, Bad Hunter is a unique vegetarian-heavy menu executed excellently! The veg burger is incredible served at both lunch and dinner. Pastas are on point, cornbread, and you must save room for dessert because some of the best I have ever had. Extremely talented chef and pastry chef - highly recommend!
