Acanto
An Italian restaurant directly across from Millennium Park with housemade pastas and stone-oven pizzas — named in FOX 32's near-Lollapalooza dining guide for its location steps from the festival.

Alinea
Grant Achatz's three-Michelin-starred temple of molecular gastronomy in Lincoln Park. Multi-course tasting menus that defy convention — edible balloons, tableside dessert paintings, and dishes that challenge every sense. One of the most important restaurants in America.
Fan Eats
Au Cheval
The legendary West Loop diner serving what many call America's best cheeseburger. The double cheeseburger with dijonnaise, a fried egg, and thick-cut bacon is worth the wait. Kanye West, Chance the Rapper, and visiting NBA players are regulars.

Big Star
Paul Kahan's beloved Wicker Park taco bar and honky tonk is the perfect post-game equalizer — equally excellent whether the Cubs won or lost. Award-winning al pastor tacos, a tight selection of whiskey and Mexican beer, and live country music in the courtyard make Big Star a reliable destination for athletes-turned-regulars and fans alike. The outdoor patio during Chicago summers is one of the city's great casual gathering spots after any sporting event.
