CBCI loves to support local businesses, and a great time to take advantage of great deals at amazing restaurants is during Chicago Restaurant Week. During Chicago Restaurant Week, diners can enjoy a special prix fixe menu with some of a restaurant’s most notable dishes. In most cases, these are multi-course meals available for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. This year diners will have the option to experience indoor and outdoor dining in addition to delivery and takeout.

Chicago Restaurant Week 2021 formally begins on Friday, March 19 and runs until Sunday, April 4, 2021. There are over 250 participating restaurants with menus you can find on their website. You do not need reservations, however, that is highly encouraged. Take a look at restaurants we are looking forward to trying this week.

Aba

This Lettuce Entertain You‘s West Loop restaurant, led by Chef C.J. Jacobson, is a favorite if you are looking for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes in addition to a stylish dining experience.
