Openings

From Balkan food to West African, Filipino-influenced pizza to Midwestern-informed French, there’s a lot to look forward to on Chicago’s restaurant front this fall.

The days have once again begun their inexorable shortening, but it's a long time before those summer evenings perfect for a patio, cocktail, or sweet treat disappear. 

Mediterranean food on the river, Basque cuisine meets Chicago, ramen with African flavors, a dessert tasting menu, Korean from the suburbs, and follow-ups from several acclaimed chefs are all on the horizon.
