Best Fall Spots in the Chicago Culinary Guide

Eastroom PD Shot.jpg

While summer might be the “most popular” season of the year, there’s something special about fall in Chicago. It’s some of the best weather of the year, and the idea of impending winter makes the whole city savor every last moment of sunshine and outdoor dining. The memories of fall and the promise of spring are all that get us through the winter months most of the time!

So we need to make the most of these fleeting golden days while we can. How about with a great meal at an even better price? Our 2020/2021 Culinary Guide has deals across Chicago and now is the perfect time to take advantage of them (there’s carryout and dine-in options!) all while you enjoy autumn’s beauty and excitement…

Geja's Cafe {340 West Armitage Avenue, Chicago; 773.281.9101}: One of the city’s most romantic restaurants is the perfect place for a fall date night! With the Culinary Guide you can take $30 off two premier fondue dinners (dine-in) or take the interactive meal to go with $20 off two premier fondue dinners (carryout). There’s a reason they’ve been a favorite for decades - their fondue is epic!

River Roast {315 North LaSalle Street, Chicago; 312.822.0100}: Whether you want to make the most of any nice nights we have left on their riverfront patio or stay warm and well-fed in their indoor dining space, River Roast has a spot for you. Their protein-focused menu is perfect for Windy City carnivores and their cocktails are also quite delicious!

Artango Bar & Steakhouse {4767 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago; 872.208.7441}: A steak dinner is always a decadent meal, and when you can take $20 off your bill, it’ll be an exciting one, too! Artango serves their steaks with a South of the Border flair, including their famous Bola de Lomo (spiral-cut sirloin infused with ají).

Daisies {2523 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago; 773.661.1671}: Fresh ingredients from local farms take center stage all year round at Daisies, and that means you can enjoy the flavors and colors of fall right on your dinner plate here. We recommend the Cavatelli for autumn, made with summer squash, smoked eggplant and sunflower seed pesto.

The Press Room {1134 West Washington Boulevard, Chicago; 331.240.1914}: Wine nights are wonderful all year round, but a robust red on a fall night is especially satisfying. Pair your next glass with one of The Press Room’s classic dishes (two-for-one!), for an intimate dinner experience perfect for the dropping temps.

BLVD Steakhouse {817 West Lake Street, Chicago; 312.526.3116}: BLVD Steakhouse has a new name, but there’s still the same great taste you’ve come to count on from this West Loop hot spot. Perfect for a fall date night or celebratory dinner out!

Tortello {1746 West Division Street, Chicago; 773.360.1293}: At-home cooks still need to make the most of this time of year! So, buy some of Tortello’s delicious homemade pasta for a night out, and take a bag of fresh pasta to make at home when you use the Culinary Guide. Talk about a delicious win-win!
