Charlie Trotter's restaurant is located in an elegant, residential style townhome in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Chef Trotter's cuisine originates from the finest foodstuffs available. A network of over 90 purveyors provide the fresh, healthful ingredients that inspire him to create
… flavorful masterpieces. From the naturally raised meat and game, to the line-caught seafood, to the organic produce, every component of each dish is the purest available. Charlie Trotter's degustation offers three tasting menus to highlight the finest, freshest foodstuffs obtainable. Chef Trotter prefers his cuisine to be experienced in a progression of petite courses with each course laying the foundation for the next. Chef Trotter's wine list is created with Charlie's culinary philosophy in mind — that food and wine are intended not only to complement each other, but to inspire one another, making the selection and interplay of the wine and food an integral part of the dining experience.Continued
