From romantic weekends to 30-acre farms and fermentation programs, the Windy City has so much to offer—including a brand-new Bib Gourmand, The MICHELIN Guide distinction for great food offered at an incredible value.
From platters of chicken shish taouk to silky-smooth house made ice creams, here is everything you need to know about Chicago's latest Bib Gourmand. Bon appétit!

Cuisine: Middle Eastern
It is difficult to imagine a dinner here that doesn’t include the hummus. A gorgeous mosaic of charred green chickpeas, crispy chickpeas, zhoug, and za’atar raise this familiar dish to wonderful heights. There’s more on the way: A platter of chicken shish taouk that’s marinated in yogurt, crusted in spices and charred all over or halloumi cheese served with beets and finished in a honey and pomegranate molasses. In this quiet, sun-soaked corner of River North, the team behind Indienne hits the mark with this Middle Eastern charmer where tables crowd with dips, small plates, and items hot off the grill. You’re expected to share but that’s easier said than done. Silky-smooth, house made ice creams make for a sweet send-off.
