If you are staying in the Lakeview/Wrigleyville or just visiting for the day, there are plenty of local favorites to stop by for lunch, a quick treat, or a superb dinner! Start your day with a satisfying breakfast or brunch to give you the energy you need for sightseeing at Nookies, a casual local diner. The menu ranges from pancakes and eggs to burgers to fresh salads. Or, go for a truly hearty and fresh meal at Uncommon Ground, where the ingredients are selected from local farmers. The menu changes seasonally and always offers a creative twist on the typical cafe dish. For a more contemporary brunch, try the contemporary Mediterranean menu at Deleece. Keeping with the freshness, build your own burger at DMK Burger Bar, a very popular specialty local burger restaurant, serving large burgers using only grass-fed beef. For another burger experience, try Rockit Bar & Grill, a sister restaurant to the one in River North (and arguably the better one!). If meat isn't part of your diet, you will love Chicago Diner, one of the city's favorite vegetarian/vegan restaurants. You can also share a romantic, intimate dinner at Angelina Ristorante, an adorable, cozy Italian restaurant, or enjoy perfect cuts of meat by candlelight at Tango Sur, an Argentinean restaurant. Yoshi's also offers a fine dining experience, in a small, neighborhood bistro setting. Or, sip on sangria to fun Latin beats at Coobah, a small, yet lively small restaurant on Southport.
