Rank 3. avec
Mediterranean
Warm wood lines every surface of this twenty-year-old counter restaurant on West Randolph, where a Mediterranean kitchen turns seasonal ingredients into boldly dressed plates—roasted asparagus with za'atar buttermilk, chickpea hummus studded with oysters mushrooms—each one crowned in herbs and crunchy garnish. The effect is unfussy abundance.

Italian
The Boka Group's polished Italian room serves freshly made pasta and puffy-edged pizzas under floating amber sculpture, with rigatoni alla vodka that balances sweetness and cream. A bustling stone bar at lunch offers some of the city's most satisfying sandwiches, attended by unflappable staff.

Rank 9. Mi Tocaya Antojeria
Mexican
Lively chatter and seasonal cocktails fill the dining room at this Logan Square antojeria, where Diana Dávila's menu reclaims lesser-known Aztec traditions—guisado de nopalitos, a fragrant cactus stew with charred chilies and salty fried cheese curds, arrives with warm tortillas. The tacos carry the clarity of Mexico City street food, unpretentious and exact.

Rank 13. Anelya
Eastern European
In a cozy Avondale dining room, Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim honor Clark's grandmother through meticulously sourced Eastern European fare: green borsch alive with nettles, a zakusky cart of tart roe and seed hummus, butter-glazed pampushky bread. The stuffed cabbage arrives as a study in restraint—locally raised beef, deliberate flavors, no flourish beyond what the ingredients demand.
