RELATED:<\/strong> These 18 Chicago neighborhoods are why Chicago is America’s dream city<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Azul18

Azul 18<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s lots to love at this breakfast and lunch spot in the heart of Pilsen, a vibrant, artsy Chicago neighborhood that\u2019s home to one of the largest Mexican populations outside of Mexico. The restaurant is all about authentic Mexican flavors in dishes such as chilaquiles and breakfast burritos. But there\u2019s a decadent side of the menu, too, thanks to dishes like the s\u2019mores nutella French toast. Azul 18 is also BYOB, which means your south of the border brunch can be even more festive. 1236 W 18th St<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Forno

Forno Rosso<\/h2>\n

The West Loop is home to many buzzy restaurants, and this Italian spot is one of them. If you\u2019ve ever had pizza in Italy, then you know the pies here are the real deal. The owners adhere to the traditional rules of Neapolitan pizza-making, which includes paying close attention to the exact temperature of water and the type of flour used for the crust. In other words, that\u2019s amore!\u00a03719 N Harlem Ave<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Owen

Owen & Engine<\/h2>\n

This Logan Square gastro pub is filled with British charm. There\u2019s an inviting fireplace, cozy wooden interior and a large selection of beer (yes, many of them from the UK) on tap. The menu features upgraded English classics (think bangers and mash, fish and chips) that make this pub experience top-notch. 2700 N Western Ave<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Aruns

Arun\u2019s<\/h2>\n

This upscale mainstay on the city\u2019s Northwest Side (Albany Park, to be exact) celebrates all the opulence that Thai culture has to offer. The dining room (which went through a major renovation in 2017) is beautiful, but the fine dining menu is even more impressive. The pre-fixe multi-course menus change nightly, but you can expect classics like massaman beef curry and mee kati coconut noodles added into the mix. 4156 N Kedzie Ave<\/em><\/p>\n

\"India

India House<\/h2>\n

Because it\u2019s located in the River North neighborhood downtown, it\u2019s easy to stop by India House for lunch during a day of sightseeing. But allow for a little extra time here. The lunch buffet features more than 200 items (including classics like tandoori chicken and all the naan you can eat), and you\u2019re going to want to sample as much as your stomach will allow. 59 W Grand Ave<\/em><\/p>\n

\"90Miles

90 Miles Cuban Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

With three Chicagoland locations (including one in the Roscoe Village nabe), you know this restaurant is doing something right. And that something is churning out authentic (and affordable) Cuban cuisine in a festive atmosphere. There\u2019s a variety of empanadas to choose from, the Cubano sandwich, and the ropa vieja, which is shredded beef with onions, peppers and garlic in a house creole sauce served with rice, beans and plantains. Every dish is a homerun here. 3101 N Clybourn Ave<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Resi's

Resi\u2019s Bierstube<\/h2>\n

North Center and Lincoln Square are traditionally two of the Windy City’s biggest German enclaves, and that\u2019s where you\u2019ll find Resi\u2019s. Since 1973, this long-standing restaurant and beer garden has been serving up German brews, schnitzel and just about everything else that pairs well with lederhosen. The late night hours make this a good spot to wrap up the night. 2034 W Irving Park Rd<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Las

Las Tablas<\/h2>\n

This Colombian steakhouse is a neighborhood favorite in Lakeview; area residents flock here for date nights, birthday celebrations and everything in between. The lively atmosphere is great, but what really keeps everyone coming back are the different cuts of steak seasoned with authentic Colombian spices and flavors. And even though meat makes up a big bulk of the menu, vegetarians will be happy to see plenty of options for them, too. 2942 N Lincoln Ave<\/em><\/p>\n
