Chicago

Located across the street from Gibson's, Maple & Ash is a trendy alternative to the traditional American steakhouse. The clientele is younger and the décor is much more modern. Slightly less expensive than Gibson's, the cuisine is also more inventive and the seafood and fish menu is as important as the meat menu. It's up to you to see which atmosphere suits you best: noisy, trendy, with an original and tasty cuisine, or quiet, traditional, around a simple but equally tasty cuisine.

An excellent place for breakfast before starting the Loop tours. Enjoy custom pancakes, from the simplest to the most elaborate. Also on the menu are good eggs Bénédicte or French toast with fruit. For lunch, a wide choice of sandwiches is also available. A good place in a neighborhood where there is a desperate need, where you can eat fresh produce in a family atmosphere and at a low cost.

A very convivial place, where time seems to have stood still. While we wait to be served, we revisit the history of fishing and its techniques on walls worthy of a museum. Fish and seafood in a variety of forms: platters, soups, sushi. Spicy Louisiana specialties! The small white wine suggested by the house goes perfectly with the dishes. Between jambalaya, oysters, lobster... And if you're coming alone, the central zinc bar will put you right in the mood! As for dessert, mmhhh this rhubarb-raspberry tart...
