Portillo's Hot Dogs
4.9/513 Reviews
Open Late
Avg. AUD26/person
Open at 10:00 today
没有蜡olling:“Hot dogs are a specialty of Chicago. Today I went to one of the most popular hot dog shops in Chicago and ordered the most authentic beef and Italian sausage hot dog. It turned out that the taste was surprisingly similar to spicy roujiamo. . .”
Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
4.7/553 Reviews
Open at 11:30 today
没有蜡olling:“I ordered a few dishes blindly and they were all delicious. The most rare thing is that the dishes here are not too sweet or salty without telling them. I like the meat in this restaurant very much. It is tender and juicy. Even the ordinary fried chicken is better than other restaurants. I didn't order seafood, but it is a signature dish, so it should not be bad. The price is a bit expensive. I ordered a beer, a cocktail, a steak, a fried chicken, two vegetables, a soup, and two desserts. Including the tip, the total cost was $130. This restaurant has a good environment, service, food and atmosphere. It is only in Chicago, Washington, and Las Vegas in the United States. It is still worth a visit.”
Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
4.8/514 Reviews
Open at 11:00 today
没有蜡olling:“How can you not eat deep dish pizza when you are in Chicago? Lou Malnati’s is very popular. It is said that the owner left Pizzeria Uno because he had too many franchises and the quality was too poor, so he left on his own (there are plenty of excuses). There is a lot of butter in the bottom of the pizza, which tastes crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and has a sweet milky flavor. This thing is okay to eat once, but it is not fun to eat more than once.”
Sepia
4.8/511 Reviews
Historical architecture
Avg. AUD184/person
Currently closed
没有蜡olling:“Sepia is a small restaurant with a strong retro style. The three-course meal is $22 USD. The bread before the meal is great! The carrot soup for appetizer is sweet and smooth, and the main dishes are fried fish fillet with crispy skin and tender meat + grilled Rigatoni pasta with rich cheese flavor + pork sandwich are all delicious! The ingredients are fresh, fragrant and delicious, and we are very happy! The last dessert is more refreshing and sweet and sour. The chocolate marshmallow cake is a little sweet. It's worth going again! ”
The Gage
4.8/511 Reviews
Open at 11:00 today
没有蜡olling:“The Gage, not bad, I was full, but American food is like this, nothing new, I guess many restaurants can make this taste, anyway, I'm a little tired of it.”
Alinea
4.7/513 Reviews
Open at 17:00 today
没有蜡olling:“The restaurant has a secret entrance, a simple and modern environment, an open kitchen, 17 dishes, and no fixed menu. The restaurant offers exquisite molecular cuisine to diners. The appearance, taste, and experience of the dishes are full of surprises.
The most tempting thing is the last dessert. The chef "painted" on the spot with more than a dozen ingredients. Can you bear to eat the food pictures completed with superb skills?”
Boka
4.8/519 Reviews
Open at 17:00 today
没有蜡olling:“Chicago｜The Boka
A popular Michelin one-star restaurant, almost every dish has a surprise, except for the main course which is average, which is above the standard, especially the foie gras and sashimi appetizers. Sure enough, there is no risk of stepping on thunder in the blind spots of a good restaurant.”
Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe
4.7/513 Reviews
Brunch
Avg. AUD38/person
Open 7:00-14:00
全家背包游世界:“Recommended breakfast spot in Chicago. The portion is large. The average price is $20. Our family (2 adults and 2 children, 10 and 13 years old) only ordered two breakfasts. There are still some left. 😋 Very delicious breakfast. Recommended”

Brunch

Open at 08:00 today
没有蜡olling:“This restaurant frequently updates its menu, so there are always new things that you want to try, and seasonal ingredients are very popular. Many locals choose to dine here, so queuing for a seat on weekends is inevitable. [Snickering]”
Everest
4.9/519 Reviews
View
Avg. AUD245/person
Open tomorrow at 17:00
没有蜡olling:“Everest, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Chicago, French cuisine. The smoked salmon I chose as the appetizer was a failure, the salmon slices were dry and tasteless. The scallops were much more tender and fragrant in comparison. The third photo, what is even more amazing than the lobster is the broth. The spicy ginger and red pepper and the rich butter are paired with chewy shredded cabbage. The main course of fish is a bit inferior, but the duck is still remarkable. Dessert is also one of the highlights, watermelon jelly and lemon smoothie are appetizers, cherry chocolate cake and fresh cream strawberries are sweet but not greasy. Recommended”
RPM Steak
4.8/517 Reviews
Open at 16:00 today
翱翔的大鲨鱼:“I really like Styx/Babe and Chicago/Hard. I really like Chicago, the place where they originated! It is also a Chicago steakhouse listed in the Michelin Guide. The double-story space with a marble bar as the center has a great atmosphere. The risotto and steak are delicious!”Best of Chicago
