About the restaurant

100% Plant-Based restaurant in Wicker Park.

We have always had the core belief of being as good to ourselves (and the earth) as possible, but as we grow, we have always wanted to do more. With this desire, we decided to open Bloom Plant Based kitchen. Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy plant-based options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition. Therefore, our intention with Bloom is to focus on bringing flavorful, healthy, and affordable plant-based food to families while also being desirable and appealing to everyone regardless of their diet.

As fans of Top Chef, we can only hope to one day taste the food that comes from the minds and hands of the chefs we’ve watched for so long and grown to respect. Stephanie’s flagship location delivered in every aspect. Despite it being a full house, our small group felt like we’d been transported to our own little world where we were the only diners that mattered. Everything from the bread that began the meal and the cocktails that complimented every bite to the pork shank and laughs with our bar tender that concluded the meal was a journey I will always think about and an experience I will always be grateful for. Excellent and creative food that was always seasoned perfectly.

She took us to the Whisky bar downstairs after as we enjoyed some drinks. She told us about the club at the top floor and we went for a moment. It was nice but a bit loud (figures it’s a club).

West Town

About the restaurant

Welcome to Soule to Soule (pronounced Soul to Soul), an intimate soul food tapas restaurant where you create the atmosphere to soulfully connect through savory dishes, a mocktail BYOB experience, and genuine conversations. As the sister restaurant to Soulé Chicago we’re incorporating some of our crowd favorites while introducing new additions to the menu.

Every detail within Soule to Soule was envisioned with you in mind while checking in with the people we love, or engaging in a genuine connection with someone special for the first time. Soule to Soule is all about creating an ambiance that’s top tier as our souls align through good vibes only.

Tuck away your phones and create a moment where time stops, and new memories are born through intimate experiences. Nostalgic sayings of 'you had to be there' or 'we had a time" comes to mind, yet never posted publicly gives the ambiance at Soule to Soule that exclusive touch you can't buy with a membership.

Everything we had was amazing. The lamb chops were seasoned perfectly. The greens, creamed corn, and yams were some of the best I have ever tasted. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy on the inside. The best soul food meal I have had out in a while. Service was great too!

The elegance of Swift and Sons but still a casual classy experience. Fairly priced menu based on overall quality and service, though the “meat-n-potatoes” entree prices compared to quantity seems higher than normal for Chicago steakhouses. For reuniting with friends on a Christmas weekend, overlooking a beautifully lit Wrigley Field for the season, it can’t be beat.

Comforting favorites in Avondale by Chefs Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim inspired by old-world cooking. Start your meal with a selection of beverages like a bottle of trendy orange wine or head to the bar after work with no reservation needed for a craft cocktail like The Muse with gin and beet kvass. Our appetizer cart will roll to your table to start your dinner with over 10 bites beckoning to be picked like our fan-favorite smoked carrot paté or sunflower seed hummus.
