Wicker Park Restaurant Recommendations

Mrs.Mayhem

Hi ladies,

My BIL just moved to Wicker Park and we would like to get him a gift certificate to a local restaurant for his birthday.  Any recommendations?  It will be in the $30 range, so nothing really expensive.

TIA!

i LOVE Feast.   in fact, we were just there this past weekend.   Their entrees are in the $12-20 range, though, so i'm not sure if that works.    The Pontiac Cafe and Bar is also a fun, hole-in-the-wall feeling place to grab beer and burgers.  Outdoor seating there is nice, too.    Northside Bar and Grill is another option for fun, low-key, casual.

What about Crust?  It's awesome, great location and outside seating.  It's organic pizza and is really really good.  Also I was thinking Mirai sushi is AMAZING!  If I could eat it everyday I would!  That might be a bit too $$$ though.  If they like sushi though another option would be Coast, which is on Damen, so a bit more Bucktown than WP - although I can't believe that would be a huge deal, it's BYOB which makes it a little less $.

I am jumping in late - but i would suggest Cafe Absinthe - which i am almost positive is in Wicker Park

Hey there,

Bongo Room, Bin Wine Cafe, Milk & Honey, and Jerry's are great options. Good luck.
