Lula Café

Lula Café Review

For the kind of modern cooking made from locally sourced ingredients that distinguishes downtown chefs—but at half the price and with zero attitude—locals throng Lula Café, a quick walk from the Logan Square El stop. This bohemian storefront of closely set wooden tables and chairs serves stellar cuisine such as wild bass with blood orange and olives, and maple-scented rabbit with rosemary sweet potatoes. Menus are seasonal, change frequently, and champion farm sources; in fact the restaurant holds prix-fixe farm dinners every Monday. Open for breakfast and lunch, too, Lula is a neighborhood hangout for arty neighbors during the day, drawing from far and wide for brunch, when hour-long waits are common.
