No matter the time or day of the week, this family-run restaurant keeps bringing people in with their welcoming breakfast and lunch menu items. They have daily changing specials like unique French Toast flavors, but we are especially loving their new La Columbe Hash.
La Josie {740 West Randolph Street, Chicago; 312.929.2900}
Put some spice in 2018! La Josie is a fun and exciting Mexican eatery featuring delicious food, plus three bars for post-dinner drinks. Their Mariscada (a Spanish octopus) crafted with with grilled calamari, tiger shrimp, and habanero aïoli slaw is a must-try this month.
The Press Room {1134 West Washington Boulevard, Chicago; 331.240.1914}
Roasted Lamb is ladled with a Moroccan glaze and includes smoked cauliflower purée topped with roasted, pickled cauliflower. Now doesn’t that sound nice? The basement wine bar basement wine bar combines a vintage vibe and New American cooking, making it a beautiful and delicious spot for a winter date night. It’s the perfect example of everything that the West Loop has come to be known for in the Chicago food world.

This is a clever choice indeed! Introducing new and exciting veggie-forward fare, try The Sweet Potato with sesame, frisee, blood orange, walnut, and miso butter. Another favorite is the Broccoli Gratin with butternut squash, tofu, and ritz. The butternut squash and tofu act as the “cheese” which makes this a fun vegan option. Pair either of them with the Carrot Margarita for a bit of spice!
