A delicious and romantic French restaurant in town. The patio is exceptionally romantic and a must if the weather is right. The food is on point. A great spot for brunch if you want to experience it in a more casual setting.

Absolutely delicious casual French bakery. We love everything from the sandwiches to the baguettes to the macarons, the quiche and everything in between. Next to the adorable neighborhood International French school, the Lycée Français de Chicago.

Our favorite American bakery in town. Owned by a husband wife duo, who bake and mill their own grains and everything on the menu is meticulously crafted and delicious.

We like to order the half priced sushi that’s available before 6pm daily. The best quality for your price in town. We’re vegetarian and they are very accommodating substituting vegetables in place of the fish in our order.

Semi quick, late night (or not) and a great price for an authentic taco. Look for the Tuesday taco specials.

BienMeSabe Venezuelan Cafe & Restaurant
1637 W Montrose AveCasual Venezuelan spot with tasty empanadas.
We’ve personally never experienced as the menu hasn’t been very conducive to vegetarians. I would recommend making a reservation as it’s frequently booked. Another husband wife spot that merges Filipino and Cuban cuisine that our friends absolutely love.

Family time
A massive park, with both a regular playground and a huge “nature playground”, fields for sports, tennis courts, volleyball and a pretty little trail winding through. Also a park district activity center which is extra helpful when the kids have to use the restroom!

2 blocks north of us! Looking to experience a little calm in the city and go for a walk? A massive trail through a beautiful restored prairie, playground for the kids, sports courts and a nice place just to set up and relax.

Sightseeing
A 15 minute drive and wonderful experience in Chicago, a free zoo (albeit parking). Parking inside the lot is a minimum of $35, it if you’re driving and up for the walk look for free parking in front of the Peggy Notebart Nature Museum about a 5-10 minute walk away. If you’re on a time crunch I would highly recommend hitting the big cats, monkeys and gorillas and then head north to the Regenstein African mammal house.
