River North Restaurants in Chicago

It doesn't get more big city than River North/Near North Side! Just steps from the Magnificent Mile, this neighborhood is bustling with upscale shops, swanky bars and lounges, and an array of hot spot restaurants, where the experience and decor are just as important a presentation as the food. Make your dining experience exotic with Hawaiian cuisine at Roy's Restaurant or with Indian at the India House, which features cuisine from all regions of India. It also offers an affordable lunch buffet. Continue to spice up your evening with Mexican food at Frontera Grill, made famous by Chicago's very own Top Chef, Rick Bayless, or enjoy pitchers of sangria, and Spanish tapas at Cafe Iberico at a very reasonable rate. If you are looking for something fresh, try new Asian cuisine at Sunday, set in a sleek and enormous space, with an extremely high ceiling that sparkles with bamboo fish. For an upscale evening, try MK Restaurant, known by foodies around the country, or TRU, which offers a very sophisticated environment and one of the most extensive wine lists in the city, or travel to a Saigon paradise at Le Colonial. If wine gets you going, you will enjoy the Italian food and wine bar at Quartino. Finally, get your classic steak dinner at David Burke's Primehouse, brought to Chicago by New York chef, David Burke.
