If you’re preparing for a busy day of sightseeing, you’ll want a hearty breakfast to give you plenty of energy for the day ahead. Here are some of our picks arranged by neighborhood:
Andersonville: Pauline’s motto is “where quality meets quantity,” and locals flock to this family-owned diner for its generous portions and friendly atmosphere. Start your day off right with a 5 egg omelet (they have over a dozen different variations) or their trifecta of pancakes: one banana, one blueberry, and one strawberry. Then start burning off that breakfast with a short walk to the Swedish American Museum Center.
Lincoln Park: North Pond Restaurant offers a more formal breakfast option with its three course brunch including French toast topped with peaches and cognac, goat cheese frittata, and other mouthwatering menu items. Since the restaurant sits right in Lincoln Park, it’s an easy walk to the Notebaert Nature Museum or the Lincoln Park Zoo afterwards.
The Loop: 312 Chicago offers an upscale brunch option with delicious menu items like the Grilled Ribeye Sandwich or the Brioche French Toast with warm banana and walnut compote. After brunch, set off for a Grayline sightseeing tour or visit the Sears Tower Sky Deck.
Magnificent Mile: Bistro 110 is a Chicago favorite. Begin with a Bistro Bellini, a juicy combination of French white peach purée and champagne, then choose from a delicious selection of frittatas, French toast, and more. Or choose the 30-course prix fixe brunch for $22.95. The Hancock Observatory and the Museum of Contemporary Art are both nearby.
