CHICAGO RESTAURANT WEEK IS BACK!

Around Town
More than 300 of Chicago’s finest restaurants are coming together for 14 days–from January 27 to February 9, 2017–for the foodie extravaganza known as Chicago Restaurant Week. Each of the participating restaurants will offer a selection of menu items at special prices: $22 for brunch, $33 for lunch, and $44 for dinner. No matter your fave fare, the selection of restaurants will offer something pleasing to your palate. For a change of pace, try these cuisines and restaurants:

INTERNATIONAL FUSION
Blending two or more types of cuisine into an entirely new culinary experience is the goal of fusion cuisine. The chefs at Vermillion are experts in blending Latin and Indian flavors, while Via Lima offers the best in Peruvian food representing the cuisine’s European, Asian and Caribbean influences. For example, Via Lima’s aji de gallina features pulled chicken with yellow peppers, walnuts, Parmigiana-Reggiano sauce and kalamata olives.

ECLECTIC
When you really can’t put your finger on your exact food craving, try a restaurant that brands itself as eclectic. Yoshi’s Cafe, located on N. Halstead in Chicago, features unusual fare like a house special duck liver mousse pate, Japanese pumpkin ravioli and hibachi-style Wagyu beef. A regular participant in Chicago Restaurant Week, Chef Yoshi dishes up his brand of eclectic fare all year long.

AMERICAN
Sometimes, you just want a great burger or familiar comfort food.  Chicago Restaurant Week participants like Knife&Tine serve up soul-stirring dishes like shrimp and grits, fried chicken, and fish and chips in an elegant dining atmosphere. Hearth Restaurant at The Homestead created a special menu for Restaurant Week that includes a macadamia mahi-mahi, saffron tagliatelle pasta and slow-cooked pork shoulder.

As a yearly event, Chicago Restaurant Week is something Chicagoans look forward to.  To browse listings of participating restaurants, visit Choose Chicago to sort offerings by location or cuisine.
