About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
Taxim, which is located in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, features regionally-inspired Greek dishes paired with an all-Greek wine list. The stunning dining room is fitted with soaring 16-foot ceilings, travertine marble floors, dramatic Byzantine-style lamps and artwork, and the rooftop dining area lined with Greek flowering herbs.

The restaurant was chosen as one of of Chicago's Best New Restaurants in 2009/2010 by the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Magazine and the Chicago Reader. Additionally, Taxim's housemade yogurt with young favas and lamb confit was selected as one of the Best Bites of 2009 by the Chicago Reader, the house-cured sardines were mentioned in Time Out Chicago's 2009 "100 Best Things We Ate (and drank) This Year" feature, and the wood-grilled octopus was selected as 2010's "Best New Dish" by Chicago magazine. Additionally, chef-owner David Schneider appeared on the Food Network's "Iron Chef America" in April 2011 going head-to-head with Iron Chef Cat Cora.

    This restaurant continues to provide excellent food and drink. We visit every time we come into Chicago. The duck pita was succulent. The salad with the carob rusks was so delicious. Also we greatly enjoyed the prassopita which was delectable... a fine appetizer shared by two. I drank the Mountain Sun Semeli rose wine. So fresh and well balanced.

    The restaurant was busier up on the rooftop than the inside seating when we were there. It was perfect for us because we had an elderly person with us. We had a great meal. We love the decor. Very comfortable and light.

    Excellent Greek food that is a little different and elevated from standard Greek fare. The influences from Asia Minor really show in many dishes like the lahanadolmades (stuffed cabbage leaves instead of grape leaves) and the delicious made-in-house baklava that is not soaked in honey. Highly recommended.

    Good food, a bit pricey. Pushy staff about ordering more food than you need or want.

    We had an early dinner prior to a nearby show. Wonderful menu of various regional Greek dishes. Some we were familiar with many we were not and very pleasantly surprised. Offers a wide variety of small plates along with full dinners. The rooftop seating wasn’t open yet so we will be back to check that out next time. Arabella, our waitress, made spot on suggestions and was awesome.
