Great Chicago Restaurants

When it comes to finding great Chicago restaurants, you don’t have far to look. Fabulous cuisine and unique dining experiences are located all over the metropolitan area.

Chicago offers an amazing variety of foods. If you can’t decide which one to start with, then A Taste of Chicago is the place to begin. This midsummer festival offers just what the name says: a little bit of everything. The thirty-year-old celebration, the largest of its kind in the world, has spawned many imitators in cites all across the country. Explore what Chicago has to offer, including such famous items as the Chicago hot dog, Italian Beef sandwich, Chicago-style pizza, Maxwell Street Polish Sausage, and countless other dishes of a more refined, if less famous, pedigree.

The quirky Chicago Dine Around offers another sampling of Windy City eateries, but this time of the finest quality. Guests are chauffeured around the city and experience hors d’oeuvres at one restaurant, a main course at a second establishment, and top off the journey with dessert at a third stop. The Progressive Dining Tour is matched by a Lunch Around Chicago Tour for those who have other plans for the evening.

The city can obviously match honors with any other when it comes to traditional restaurants in any category from Italian and Chinese to sushi bars and exquisite steak houses. But no list of great Chicago restaurants would be complete without mention of the very original Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament.

Guests eat traditional fare from the Middle Ages (with their fingers, of course!) and witness the costumes, pageantry, and valor of an 11th Century horseback jousting tournament held for their amusement. For at least one night, it is truly possible to live like a King or a Queen in the fair domain of suburban Hoffman Estates. Chicago has so much to offer. Don’t miss any of it.
