Best Lunch Restaurants in Avondale

Le Bouchon is the closest you can get to a Paris bistro dining experience in Chicago, and it always has been. Tonight marked our 29th year dining there.

Food outstanding. Service could be better for a 25% service charged attached to all bills.

Nobu Chicago offers a refined dining experience, where a stunning ambiance and attentive service elevate every moment. Their brunch menu is a true highlight, featuring a well-balanced selection of exquisite dishes and expertly crafted cocktails. The Wagyu sliders are irresistibly juicy and bursting with flavor in every bite. The crispy rice with spicy tuna is a standout, with delicately crisped rice that enhances the freshness of the tuna without overpowering it. The spicy salmon maki roll is flawlessly executed, delivering just the right balance of heat and freshness. To round out the meal on a sweet note, the almond croissants are simply exceptional—flaky, buttery, and a perfect indulgence for brunch. Nobu Chicago consistently delivers a high-end sushi experience, making it a must-visit for those seeking an elevated brunch with Japanese flair. Given Chicago’s long, chilly seasons, a dedicated coat check or cloakroom would be a welcome addition, ensuring guests can fully enjoy their dining experience in comfort.

Me & my wife visited Blue Door on her birthday, and decided to come back on the V-Day. This place is amazing: the quality of food, overall atmosphere and hospitality - it feels like every details there is made to make you feel like home. We ordered a couple of drinks (Smoked Cherry was a top notch), appetisers and mains (Lamb, salmon) - everything was cooked to perfection. Special thanks to our waitress for outstanding service (If you are reading this - you did a great job!), the cooks & to John for complimentary champagne and being so nice :) You, guys, do an amazing job. We will for sure be back! Overall: 5/5

We were able to sit at the counter by the window and watch all the passersby. The pimento spread was amazing and the service was incredible.
