About the restaurant

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.

I wanted to check this place out for my friend’s birthday. The food was great and so were the drinks. Our server Payton/Peyton was extremely helpful and accommodating. She took us to the Whisky bar downstairs after as we enjoyed some drinks. She told us about the club at the top floor and we went for a moment. It was nice but a bit loud (figures it’s a club). The ambiance was great and the staff was so helpful and friendly from the host handing us sake shots at the door to the Whisky Bar bartender taking our photos. 10/10

The meal began with the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio—delicate, melt-in-your-mouth slices bursting with rich flavor and perfectly balanced seasoning. The Foie Gras followed, decadently smooth and expertly prepared. For the main course, the Dry-Aged Ribeye was exceptional. Cooked to perfection, it boasted deep, robust flavors and a buttery texture that showcased the quality of the cut. The accompanying pastas were equally impressive, crafted with care and full of bold, comforting flavors. Dessert was a standout with the Chocolate Mousse Cake, a rich yet airy creation that was the perfect sweet finish to the evening. Complementing the meal, Maple & Ash’s expertly crafted cocktails elevated the experience even further. Each drink was thoughtfully prepared, balancing creativity with classic elegance.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Soule to Soule (pronounced Soul to Soul), an intimate soul food tapas restaurant where you create the atmosphere to soulfully connect through savory dishes, a mocktail BYOB experience, and genuine conversations. As the sister restaurant to Soulé Chicago we’re incorporating some of our crowd favorites while introducing new additions to the menu.

Every detail within Soule to Soule was envisioned with you in mind while checking in with the people we love, or engaging in a genuine connection with someone special for the first time. Soule to Soule is all about creating an ambiance that’s top tier as our souls align through good vibes only.

Tuck away your phones and create a moment where time stops, and new memories are born through intimate experiences.

Everything we had was amazing. The lamb chops were seasoned perfectly. The greens, creamed corn, and yams were some of the best I have ever tasted. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy on the inside. The best soul food meal I have had out in a while. Service was great too!
