It's a feast!

Feast Restaurant + Bar


Bucktown: 1616 N. Damen ave                   Gold Coast: 25 E. Delaware place
(773) 772-7100                                          (312) 337-4001
Bustling city streets like Damen and Michigan ave have a satisfying, contemporary dining haven. Dinner, lunch, and brunch will please even the most picky of eaters, guaranteed. An entire gluten-free menu with healthy alternatives, pitcher cocktails, fantastic salads, oversized burgers, and much more, Feast Restaurant + Bar's got it all. This is my go to brunch spot when places like Toast, Nookies, or the next hot thing's got a line 5 miles long.
I'll admit I have an affinity for brunch here, although I've done dinner. It's not the same experience, Feast becomes a bit stale. It's as if all you want for dinner is a steak with potatoes and all the menu can deliver is steak and eggs... go for brunch.
On the upside, Feast is incredibly inviting. In either outpost you get the sense that you're walking into someone's colorful dining room. The service varies but tends to be prompt and friendly. Also, with most meals running you between $10-$15 it's very affordable.
Find yourself loving it? Take advantage of the daily specials, 1/2 bottles of wine to go, and delivery.
If you have time go next door to the Goddess and the Grocer, it's a miniature Dean and Deluca. Handpicked jarred goods (salsas, jams, pesto, marinara, cookies, etc.) and wine flown in from across the country, pungent coffee, and a diverse deli & bakery make Goddess hip and heavenly. Every time I pay a visit I dream about hosting the perfect picnic along the lake or Millennium Park, as everything I would ever need is there with that wow factor. Lets just say, I wish I had one on my corner.
