Best Chicago Breakfast & Brunch Spots
"Beatrix is a favourite spot of ours for an early morning take away coffee and pastry on the way to work, and offers a menu that’s about ‘taste over trend’, featuring an array of interesting options that lean towards the mindful eating end of the spectrum. Coffee is one of the highlights here – the coffee bar at Beatrix serves up quality coffee using locally roasted Intelligentsia and Metropolis beans. If you’re after something more substantial than a pastry, then the dine in menu features a range of healthy, creative dishes such as quinoa cakes with poached eggs, cauliflower grits and eggs, and ten-grain oatmeal."

Chicago’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies (Find Out Where They’re Hiding!)
"One of the best ways for families to experience Beatrix is via its coffee and pastry bar, which is a full-fledged bakery inside the restaurant. The selection offers an overwhelming array of muffins, breads, cakes, scones and more. Something Beatrix does exceptionally well is cookies, particularly the chocolate chunk cookie."

The Most Romantic Restaurants in Chicago
"West LoopThis long-revered Mediterranean-influenced fixture from One Off Hospitality has held it down as one of the area’s go-to date night spots since opening its minimalist doors back in 2003, well before many of us could even define romance. And not much has changed -- the wine list is still spectacular, the chorizo-stuffed medjool dates are still iconic, and a reservation for the intimate front patio is still highly coveted."

18 Outdoor Dining Spots to Enjoy in Chicago This Summer
"Logan SquareThis iconic dog-friendly Logan Square patio from the crew at Scofflaw Group is synonymous with lazy summer days wiled away with abandon. Settle into one of the trademark shady yellow and black picnic tables to explore the burger- and wings-heavy menu and toss in a beer cheese pretzel for good measure. The beer collection is deep, the “taco party” comes complete with a can of High Life and a shot of Old Grand-Dad, and the chocolate caramel turtle cake is alarmingly addictive.How to book: Reserve via Resy."

The Boston Cream, stuffed with rich pastry cream and glazed with shiny ganache, and the oh-so-springy Strawberry Glazed are highlights."
