Chicago Restaurant Week 2011

The extensive list for this year's Chicago Restaurant Week is available on their website! A great opportunity to try a restaurant you've been eyeing for a 22$ lunch or 33$-44$ dinner prix fixe. The Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau (CCTB) produced this event to celebrate the world-class dining that Chicago has to offer. It has over 200 participating restaurants and last year it proved to be very successful with 117 restaurants and over $11.6 million in revenue. Personally, it just gives me another excuse to eat out and try somewhere new. It also helps on the wallet. A 22$ lunch menu at a place that normally goes for higher seems like enough of an excuse for me! Check out the list for yourself and don't forget to make reservations.

  3. S ~ I did both BOKA and Blackbird last year and would recommend them! I also would recommend De Cero, Province, and Gemini Bistro ~ all are tasty. This year I'm doing Cafe de Architects and Oceanique so far... one of my favorite weeks of the year!
