Wonderful experience. Incredible food and drink for the price.
We got brussel sprouts, scallops, and pork shoulder. Which were excellent.
The sorbets and gelato for dessert were wonderful as well. All for less than $250!
On top of all that the service was amazing.
They change the menu often so there are some items that are still there and others that have left. The chorizo stuffed dates is a crowd pleaser so it’ll always stay on the menu. The dates are really good so that’s a 5/5. The whole roasted fish I actually preferred a past version of it vs the one the
Food is amazingly tasty. A wonderful spot with great service. The food was amazing and every dish was cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed the chorizo stuffed dates, the shrimp, the shakshuka and the tasty pork belly.
My review is from the perspective of a traveller not a local. We came for lunch on a sunday and the space is small and tightly squeezed. Folks kindly had to move and let us in so we could sit at our reserved seats cause its set up family style. The food is great, its so good I'm going to try to rema
I was lucky enough to grab a spot at the bar without a reservation. (I definitely recommend getting one though.) The staff was accommodating. But that food though. There was a bit of a wait (it was a busy brunch service), but everything came out hot and tasted great.
Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll m
Did you know that this Michelin guided restaurant has happy hour? It does! No reservations necessary. The chorizo, hummus, cod dip, and fresh bread were all affordable and delicious. Wine and cocktails are also offered at a reduced price. It’s a win-win!
They had a really good happy hour menu, we were stuffed just from trying those out. Food and cocktails were good but felt that the chorizo dates were a tad too sweet if we had to nitpick. The cod dip with the toasted bread however was delicious
We got seated right away since we had a reservation. The broccoli and tabbouleh were good! Really filling for two people. We tried the slow cooked pork and it was good but reminded me of carnitas. 😅 Really good service. Overall, 4.5/5 ✨We were so full!
A classic Chicago restaurant serving modern dishes that are really elevated yet delicious. So glad I got to try Avec on my trip out here. We snagged a reservation fairly easily for this specific location (though they have another in River North) since it’s the original.
Food is amazing here and you
Salmon hummus unreal, very rich with a lot of olive and fish oil, came with mint. Pita seemed fresh and pillowy still with stretch (always came out puffed) and lavish had wonderful ashy smell. Swordfish mussel tagine was very good.
Pistacchio chocolate baklava came with ricotta cheese, not too syru
Had a fantastic meal here. The chorizo stuffed dates were especially good. They also have a good selection of pretty reasonably priced wines.
This is a glowing review for Avec in the west loop. They’ve earned a lot of reviews like this. I had such a good meal there - delicata squash, bacon wrapped dates, hummus, and branzino fish. Everything tasted exquisite! Seriously, how do they make little bits of squash SO flavorful? Not sure how I s
Absolutely delicious food. There wasn't anything that we ordered that we didn't like. One of my standouts was the stuffed dates. So good and unique.
Would go back for sure!
This is a small but quaint space. The main resto hides behind a side door that camouflages itself with the wooden frame of this place.
Ordered the shakshuka and it was arguably one of the best I’ve had. The eggs was slightly medium but there was some soft yolk once it was cut into. The spicy tom
Looking for a marvelous spot for lunch? Look no further , don’t delay making a reservation now. Fresh food served by attentive servers. The host was very kind to store my luggage for me as well. A must- Chorizo stuffed date!!
Walking into the restaurant, I was welcomed by a lovely interior of wooden tables and cozy ambient lights. The restaurant has a nice homey smell to it, and I felt at home as the server greeted us and walked us through each dish, explaining what ingredients were involved and recommending us what were
Really enjoy this space more than the river north location. The decor, setup and vibe is much more intimate and unique. Food and drink was very good as expected and lots of vegetarian options too. Even though the place was super packed the service was very good and attentive. Honestly at this price
Avec’s West Loop location is one of the best restaurants in Chicago and was recently featured on the hit TV series, The Bear. (Yes, I’m trying to work my way through S2E3’s featured dishes.) The bacon wrapped, chorizo-stuffed medjool dates are a must have as well as the grilled fish with banana pepp
Enjoyed a 9 course meal of amazing food. My only regret is not taking pictures for you. The chorizo filled bacon wrapped dates are worth a trip to Chicago by themselves! The Swordfish and mussels were beautifully cooked and bursting with flavors. The cocktails were amazing as well. All around an am
