Café popolari a North Center

My friends and I came for the Monday night trivia at Chapel Street and had so much fun! The food was so good and our server was amazing! We also met the general manager who was warm and welcoming! The trivia was so much fun (despite us doing so bad) and we will absolutely be coming back!

The restaurant week menu for Publican Quality Meats has to be one of the hidden gems in Chicago. My wife and I really did not know what to expect when we walked in to an empty restaurant, to say I had some misgivings is an understatement but I have to say, this was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We shared the entire restaurant with another couple and we had a wonderful evening with some excellent food. Each dish was excellent and showed off the Chef's talents. The Pate en Croute was phenomenal and the Beef Bourguignon topped off the evening. My wife and I could not finish the dish so we had it wrapped up and our son devoured the leftovers when he came home from work. Out waiter gave us a handout for the Austrian wine tasting menu and we already purchased tickets for that evening. All I can say to the party of seven that cancelled their reservation that night is that you made a Big Mistake in doing so. You missed out on an excellent meal.

Excellent brunch spot on the weekends and great breakfast 7 days a week. Outstanding coffee, too. Neighborhood gem

Cool and eclectic atmosphere. Creative but grounded menu. Looking forward to trying at a time when i’m not overstuffed from late lunch.

Very homey, I love coming here for breakfast whenever I'm in the area. Never disappoints
