Chicago Downtown After-Work Spot 🌃 Stunning Night View Restaurant

Stumbled upon this gorgeous restaurant near Trump Tower — not a fine dining place, perfect for a chill evening or casual date. Super affordable (most dishes around $10!). The restaurant is called Nando’s — they have several locations downtown, but this one has a second-floor balcony with seats!! After work, grabbing a meal here, feeling the evening breeze while gazing at the night view of Chicago’s busiest streets — all the fatigue of the day just melts away. Is there anything better than this? 🥹 🍽️ The food here is pretty foolproof — I’ve ordered multiple times and never hit a miss. This time I got their signature burger Nando’s Choice and the Rainbow Bowl. For protein, I recommend Chicken Thigh (juicier meat = better). For sauce, go with Mango & Lime — pairs perfectly with their famous flame-grilled chicken: fragrant, fresh, and light. 🔥 Not a fan of their hot sauce — tried it once, had a strong Indian curry vibe and was genuinely spicy. If you like Indian flavors though, maybe give it a shot. 📍 117 E Lake St, Chicago, IL 60601 #ChicagoEats #ChicagoDateNight #AfterWorkEats #ChicagoNightView 🌃
