A 20-minute drive from downtown is historic Hyde Park, one of the city's most self-contained enclaves, and where residents are steadfastly loyal to their local businesses. Restaurants in intellectual Hyde Park have a welcoming "come as you are" air about them that's a pleasant surprise for a neighborhood that houses a top-tier university and the country's highest-profile couple. Perhaps the area's proximity to downtown has made flashy eateries and big-name chefs unnecessary. It might be for the best, since visitors tend to feel comfortable in any restaurant, regardless of how much foodie cred they bring to the table. In the compact heart of the area, expect to find a little of everything, from Thai eats to pizza spots, bakeries, and coffee shops.
Asian fusion is the name of the game at this lively Hyde Park restaurant, where Chinese, Korean, Thai, Japanese, and other influences mingle on a menu that ranges from classic to creative and even includes some American staples for tamer diners. With an energetic atmosphere, plenty of dishes for sharing, and a menu that takes dietary restrictions into account, Chant is an easy spot for groups to gather.
Opened almost 60 years ago, Medici has served generations of University of Chicago students and faculty, many of whom carved their name on the tables and walls.
This cash-only Hyde Park institution serves big portions of no-frills diner classics cafeteria-style. President Obama ate here often during his University of Chicago days, and the restaurant still posts a “President Obama’s Favorites” menu.
At this favored, no-frills tavern, locals and university students gather for beer, burgers, and Reuben sandwiches. On Sunday nights, jam sessions complement the pub grub.
