Price: Expensive
• Vegetarian / Vegan • Bucktown / Wicker Park
Booked 30 times today
100% Plant-Based restaurant in Wicker Park. We have always had the core belief of being as good to ourselves (and the earth) as possible, but as we grow, we have always wanted to do more. With this desire, we decided to open Bloom Plant Based kitchen. Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy plant-based options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition. Therefore, our intention with Bloom is to focus on bringing flavorful, healthy, and affordable plant-based food to families while also being desirable and appealing to everyone regardless of their diet.

    My husband and I came here for restaurant week and the food was absolutely fantastic! Our server Jose gave us some great recommendations and was so friendly! We got the grilled eggplant, falafel, hot honey halloumi, salmon kebab & lamb kebabs! We ordered dessert as well but got it to go cause our daughter was getting fussy, but I’m sure that’s just as good too! NO COMPLAINTS on any of the dishes, we’ll definitely be back again.

    Has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! Came here for restaurant week and was able to snag a reservation sitting at the bar! Between two people we got the two glasses of wine, Brussels sprouts, Muhammara, cauliflower kebabs, short ribs, carrot cake, and date cake. Everything was delicious, and certainly a lot of food for a restaurant week deal. We had to pack a lot to go! Brussels sprouts: 8/10, came out fast and was likely prepared before we ordered which makes sense for restaurant week (but still delicious) Muhammara: 9.5/10 (absolutely delicious and unique) Cauliflower kebabs: 9/10 (the dates on the skewer add a sweetness to the cauliflower, so delicious) Short ribs: 9/10 (melt in your mouth) Carrot cake: 7.5/10 (not the biggest fan of carrot cake but really good and the icing was perfect) Date cake: 9.5/10 (had a crème brûlée vibe to the top of the cake, it was delicious and not too sweet)

    My friend & I enjoyed lunch at Beatrix today. The setting and vibe of the restaurant is cool. The food was off the chart and our waiter, Dewey, was very personable and attentive. Then we had a fabulous experience at the coffee bar with Mario, who also made us great lattes. Our overall experience was exceptional. We will definitely dine and grab coffee at Beatrix again!

    Quartino is one of our favorite spots. We were excited to try their Restaurant Week offerings and of course they were wonderful. So tasty. The place was also completely full, what a fun vibe.

    I've eaten at Bloom three times over the past two years, and I can't wait to return. The plant-based cuisine is flavorful and inventive. I'm an omnivore, and Bloom is some of my favorite food in Chicago. The servers are great and can give more details and recommendations on the menu, and you can't go wrong with your choice- everything I've had is delicious! The tables are a bit close together, but the acoustics are good, so you won't have an issue chatting with your party.
