Lakeview and the Far North Side Restaurants

Some of Chicago's best ethnic food is found on the Far North Side, a vast catchall district north of Irving Park Road running all the way to suburban Evanston. Lakeview includes the subdistricts of Wrigleyville (buffering Wrigley Field) and Boystown. Restaurants that cluster around neighborhood hubs, like Lincoln Square and Andersonville, tend to take on similar characteristics—they're approachable, but also unique. Ethnic hole-in-the-wall restaurants such as German beer bars Chicago Brauhaus and Huettenbar share the same strip as romantic enclaves such as Bistro Campagne, so that every picky diner can find something to satisfy his or her craving. Both are pedestrian-friendly; Lincoln Square lies on the Brown Line El, though Andersonville is better reached via cab.

  • 1. Chicago Diner

    $ | Boystown | Diner

    Belovedby vegetarians and vegans, this eatery should also appeal to anyone simply looking for a satisfying, comforting meal. The Chicago Diner offers meat-free variations on favorites from a wide range of cuisine types—American, Mexican, Mediterranean, Thai—it’s all here, and it’s all delicious. You’ll want to save room for a milk shake so good you won’t believe it’s not dairy. Be prepared for a wait during peak dining hours.

  • 2. Crisp

    $ | Lakeview | Korean

    This Lakeview hole-in-the-wall specializes in Korean fried chicken glazed in a variety of unusual sauces ranging from sweet and “Seoul spicy” to, as the menu puts it, “suicide.” Despite all that juice, the chicken still remains miraculously, well, crispy. The “Buddha bowl” bi bim bop and Korean burritos are also packed with freshness and flavor, especially when paired with traditional, tangy kimchi.
