via Le Colonial Trying to squeeze in a dinner with old friends during the holiday season? We love these seven Chicago restaurants for their commitment to excellent food AND striking interiors. 1. Le Colonial https://www.lecolonialchicago.com/ Le Colonial has been a Chicago institution for over 25 years. Its famed original Chicago location on Rush street made a move around the corner two years ago. But the seductive interiors and upscale French-Vietnamese menu remains. 2. RL Restaurant https://www.ralphlauren.com/global-rl-chicago Taking clubby to the chicest extreme, with a menu that is classic, not trendy. Kind of like us. 😉 3. Proxi https://www.proxichicago.com/ Nestled into a former printing house, with nods to both mid-century and global style, the restaurant is a repeat winner of the coveted Bib Gourmand designation, awarded by the Michelin guide to restaurants that serve great food at approachable prices. 4. Cira https://thehoxton.com/chicago/cira-restaurant/ Also a Bib Gourmand honoree, Cira’s flavors are classic Mediterranean. Settle into the warm, inviting space and stay awhile. 5. Celeste https://www.celestechicago.com/ Housed in a historic building in River North, Celeste is swanky, with an unmistakeable art deco vibe. Though it is known primarily for its cocktails, the kitchen menu will have a perfect accompaniment to your cucumber collins. […]
