Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Justice

"Go to this Euro-style wine bar when you're feeling gregarious; the rather stark space has seating for only 48 people, and it's a tight fit....Read More"

"Even in the depths of winter this Lincoln Park restaurant is full of sunshine and joy. Channeling its inner Cali, the food here is light and bright – ahi tuna and watermelon tostadas, handmade local burrata and fresh salads. The kids’ menu mirrors that with fresh berries accompanying most dishes."

"How important are cookies to the ethos of this Lettuce Entertain You Lincoln Park favorite?. The huge display case is the first thing you see when you walk in the door. That is no accident, my friends."

"They are a New Zealand roaster that set up shop in Chicago as their first USA location. They have a few cafes all around the loop area serving hand-crafted New Zealand-style coffee. We visited LaSalle St (linked in the title) and ordered vanilla lattes and a flat white."

"A neighbourhood bar where lots of locals chill out with a good brew and good friends. This is a smaller, no-frills place where you can drink good, artisanal beer. I recommend Begyle Brewing Co. because you’re likely to avoid the worst of any tourist crowd and get a chance to rub elbows with locals."

"Begyle Brewing offers an approachable and diverse collection of brews. They built a community-supported brewer program for beer lovers. It is a 6 or 2-month  growler fill subscription."

"Sip on Begyle's signature favorites and special releases on their lovely front patio or place a pick-up order for everything ranging from 12 oz."

"Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery is a welcoming and engaging craft beer experience with a variety of unique craft beer freshly brewed on site to pair with our popular American crave-able food like our Brewery Nachos Bacon Chicken Mac n’ Cheese, Fish and Chips and Bacon Cheddar Burger."

"You may be a bit hesitant to bring your kids to a restaurant where the theme is, well, sugar, but rest assured, there’s more to this spot than just candy (like an elaborate drink menu for adults, for instance). Kids will flip for the restaurant’s Rainbow Sliders (mini cheeseburgers with colorful buns that come with a rubber ducky you can take home) and over-the-top milkshake concoctions (Nutella Banana or Chocolate Rocky Road, anyone?). While Sugar Factory probably isn’t practical for a weeknight meal, the place just screams “birthday party” or special event."

"Everyone needs a little sweetness from time to time and the Sugar Factory will satisfy any sweet tooth. This kid friendly restaurant in River North of Chicago is perhaps best known for its world-famous Couture Pops, but its menu features an assortment of both sweet and savory cuisine, from waffles, crepes and french toast for breakfast to classic favorites like burgers, salads, and fried mac n cheese pops later in the day. Of course, the real star is the dessert menu, with colorful, sprinkled, gourmet treats that will delight kids and adults alike!"

"Technically not in Chicago, but still worth the mention due to its proximity to the airport. Popularized by trendy celebs, the Sugar Factory delivers sundaes that are as Insta-worthy as the inside of the restaurant itself. If you’re trying to splurge, order the King Kong Sundae."

"A small plates spot owned and managed by James Beard Award-winner Shawn McClain, Green Zebra offers Chicago vegetarians an upscale and unforgettable dining experience. The moss-colored, Asian-tinged house of Zen presents a menu of seasonal dishes prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, ranging from organic duck egg with smoked potato puree and woods mushroom paté with garlic scape mostarda to blistered shishito peppers, Iroquois white corn grits, and squash risotto. Diners can choose from a prix fixe experience or an extensive a la carte menu, but shouldn’t miss the signature poached hen egg with smoked potato purée and parsley with country sourdough."

"The eclectic menu deftly combines traditional French and Japanese fare but don't expect any sushi here. For example, you'll find spring rolls filled with goat cheese and chicken, and shiitake mushrooms liven up leek and brie tarts. The menu includes a nice selection of vegetarian options such as crispy pizza and handmade pastas."

"For 30-plus years, Yoshi Katsumura has stayed true to his instincts rather than to fashion. Seafood offerings and a wagyu beef bento box star on the regular menu; daily specials, such as grilled jumbo sea scallops and soft-shell crab tempura, keep things lively.D Tue–Sun."

"Restaurants Steakhouse River North. This River North steakhouse from Lettuce Entertain You and TV personalities Bill and Giuliana Rancic isn't for the shy. Glitz and glam are offered by the ounce, with over-the-top menu items like hand-cut steak tartare, Millionaire's potato (it's smothered in fontina and black truffle), chocolate cake decorated with edible gold and a laundry list of Japanese and American wagyu options."

"A Chinatown fixture for over twenty years, Triple Crown is cherished for its commitment to day-long dim sum. That means you can satisfy your cravings for shrimp dumplings, fried sesame balls, and puffy egg custard tarts right at 9:00 am or at 2:00 am, before the restaurant finally closes."

"Celebrate a special occasion or simply relish a perfect dinner in the chic atmosphere at Chicago’s upscale steakhouse, The Capital Grille. This place is known for its dry-aged steaks, and you won’t be disappointed by its American cuisine. Tantalizing dishes like Gorgonzola and truffle-crusted, dry aged NY strip with cabernet reduction or the all-natural herb-roasted chicken will surely impress."
