Kasama takes its name from the Tagalog word for "together," which tells you something about the whole project. It's a tasting menu restaurant in Wicker Park where a husband-and-wife team reimagines Filipino cuisine with fine dining precision, two Michelin stars, and a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes. Traditional preparations get elegant, inventive treatment, and the pastry work is serious enough to hold its own.

Black truffle croissant
“While offerings change frequently, the black truffle croissant is a standout indulgence, layered with Delice de Bourgogne cheese, black truffle, honey and truffle oil.”
AAA -
Mais con yelo
“Desserts, like a “mais con yelo” that features sweet corn semifreddo and milk granita, are every bit as satisfying.”
Michelin Guide -
Ham and cheese danish
“The ham and cheese danish is a good example of what makes them so perfect, with salty serrano ham and raclette fondue on top of a light and flaky pastry that’s topped with sugar.”
