Beatrix Market

Lettuce Entertain You’s Beatrix is one of the group’s most popular concepts, so much so that it spawned a grab-and-go offshoot. At Beatrix Market, you’ll find a variety of options, from coffee and pastries to prepackaged sandwiches to a full salad bar. It has multiple locations and works well for both a quick bite and a casual spot to get some work done.

The vibe: Casual and easygoing—the kind of place you don’t mind lingering in for a while if you’ve got time to spare. Lunch can get especially busy, with a steady flow of nearby workers and students.

The food: Mornings feature a hot bar stocked with staples like eggs, sausage, bacon and oatmeal, plus breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Later in the day, the selection shifts to salad, soup and hummus stations, with the salad bar standing out for its wide range of ingredients.The DePaul location also serves both thin-crust and deep-dish pizzas. The latter comes as a personal-sized pie, boasting a crisp, golden crust layered with gooey cheese, rich tomato sauce and toppings like pepperoni or sausage.

The drinks: In the basement, a bar offers cozy seating and a menu of craft beers, red and white wines and cocktails.

Time Out tip: Stop in during happy hour, from 3 to 5pm Tuesday through Friday, to enjoy $5 select beers and $7 deep-dish pizzas.
