At this gastropub, classic British comfort food is seemingly simple but incredibly flavorful: massive haddock fillets are turned into ethereal fish-and-chips, and an excellent charcuterie plate features rotating rillettes, pâté and fresh sausages. A great beer program inspires lingering, while seemingly simple but delicious desserts erase any thoughts of starchy English custard.
Britain may not be known for its cuisine, but it turns out Chicago offers some pretty great pub grub and classic British dishes, like savory pies and bubbles and squeak at Pleasant House Bakery. If you'd prefer a fish fry, Duke of Perth has two all-you-can-eat nights each week and Mrs. Murphy and Sons delivers hearty beef stew. Head to these restaurants for the best British food in Chicago, then keep the night going at one of the city's best Irish pubs.
