Santorini_Chicago

After visiting Greece over this summer, I am in love with Greek Food.  I have heard a lot about Greek Town in Chicago so I decided to make a visit today for lunch.  I went to eat at Santorini Restaurant.  The ambience and service is great and the food is good to.  I had the basic, Saganaki Cheese and Greek Salad.  I was really craving both the cheese I had in Greece.  Saganaki was simply delicious, and tasted with authentic.  Greek Salad however was not as authentic as I was hoping.  The feta cheese was not as soft as I was hoping for it but I guess that is the difference when you have feta cheese in Greece as oppose to the US.  If you are craving greek food and want to get a as close to authentic meal as possible then Santorini Restaurant in Chicago is the place to be.

Noodles & Company_Chicago

What I love about Chicago is that they have so much to offer when it comes to food.  I do my best to avoid fast food, specially when I am in a hurry.  Today was one of those days when I just had a few minutes to grab something really quick.  As I was walking down the street I came across, Noodle & Company.  It looked interesting so I stepped inside to check it out.  They offer variety of noodles and pasta, along with a side of soup or salad.  The cost was extremely reasonable and the quantity was just perfect.  I ordered Indonesian Peanut Saute, along with Tomato Basil Soup.  The soup was delicious and so fresh, perfect for a cold day like today.  The main entrée was delicious and was made fresh to order.  I highly recommend this place if you are in a hurry to grab a quick bite.

UncleJulios_Chicago

Mexican food is known to be very tasteful, flavourful, and a blend of different spices.  However, its always easy to find a good restaurant that offers authentic flavourful Mexican cuisine.  I went for dinner at Uncle Julios in Chicago with some colleagues and was very impressed by everything they had to offer.  I ordered Ahi Tuna Fajitas with Corn Tortilla.  Oh man, it was the best fajitas ever.  This was the first time I tried Ahi Tuna Fajitas and by far it was the best tuna.  Very flavourful, cooked well from the outside and tenderly raw from the inside, with a unique taste of spice sprinkled on top.  The best thing about the tortilla that they have is that they are freshly made per order.  I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone.  You will not be disappointed.

LouMitchells_Chicago

One of the oldest and very well known family owned breakfast place in the heart of Chicago downtown is what defines Lou Mitchells.  Many people had mentioned this place to me and told me that while in Chicago I have to go there.  As soon as you enter the hostess greats you with a basket full of munchkins.  The munchkins are nothing to brag about but its a great gesture and tradition that they have for guests coming to their restaurant.  As I walked in I noticed that it was a very simple family owned restaurant with casual seating and the service was pretty decent.  I ordered one egg with house potatoes and side order of one pancake with walnuts.  Their tradition is, when you order one egg you get two, and when you order two you get four.  So the quantity was very good and the house potatoes were delicious and well cooked.  Their pancake however, is their house special and were fluffy and extremely tasteful.  Next time you are in Chicago then you should definitely go to Lou Mitchells.  However don't expect a great service, but expect a very flavourful breakfast or lunch.
