My Favorite Chicago Brunch Series

Here’s the third round of my go‑to brunch spots in the city — because why settle for just one favorite? 🏨 Adorn (inside Four Seasons Hotel) I usually avoid hotel restaurants, but this one is truly delicious. 🥐 Mini Croissant Cereal — served with butterfly‑pea‑infused soy milk (lovely pale blue hue). 🐟 Smoked Fish Platter — packed with smoked trout, cured salmon, onions, and hard‑boiled eggs — build your own bagel sandwich right at the table. Adorn: 120 E Delaware Pl, Chicago, IL 60611 🦀 Maple & Ash Their King Crab Omelette is loaded with generous crab meat and topped with lemon‑dressed arugula — rich yet bright, with no fishy aftertaste. Maple & Ash: 8 W Maple St, Chicago, IL 60610 🌽 Rica Arepa Venezuelan‑style arepas — griddled corn cakes stuffed with your choice of fillings. I treat mine like a loaded breakfast wrap: scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, and more. Rica Arepa: 4253 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60639 🐋 The Whale (sister spot to The Vig in Logan Square) Their brunch outshines dinner here. Must‑tries: Chicken & Waffles and Caviar Deviled Eggs. Also worth exploring: lobster tacos and other creative morning bites. The Whale: 2427 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647 #ChicagoEats #ChicagoFoodScene #ChicagoLife #BrunchGoals #HiddenGems #WeekendBrunch
