We like to say that we are International Vegan Restaurant. That means our food is 100% plant based and Globally Inspired. We have a few American classics like homemade veggie burgers, mac and cheese and of course Nachos. However, we also have plenty of healthy options. Our Kitchen Manager specializes in creating comfort dishes from different cultures by making food that is hearty and flavorful, but still healthy. Many food items will have a focus on plants, rather than trying to mimic meat. Reading our menu is like traveling the globe with the different options we will have. Have a taste of Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Italy, Balkans and so much more! Brunch Menu is available Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We were nominited for the best brunch in the country by VegOut Magazine and our soup was nominated as Best Soup of Chicago. We won Best Patio 2020 by North Commision. Can't wait to welcome you.

This is a top Italian restaurant in the city. We absolutely love Tre Dita and are excited to celebrate any and every occasions here. This was our first time in a few months and the menu was phenomenal. We were slightly sad our favorite dish (trofie al pesto) was seasonal, however it replaced with a phenomenal second option. If anyone is lucky to get a reservation here, please enjoy your night.

A genuine pub with excellent food and drinks. The staff is friendly and helpful and the ambience is exactly what you are looking for in a pub - lots of wood, comfortable tables and booths, and conversational noise in the background - not blaring music or tv screens. Excellent crispy, not greasy fish and chips with a tasty aioli and curry sauce in addition to the standard tartar sauce. Wonderful gin cocktails.
