The best restaurants in Logan Square

What is it? Chef Diana Dávila's Michelin Bib Gourmand Mexican restaurant in Logan Square.

Why we love it: Dávila’s extensive travels through Mexico with her family inspire the menu at Mi Tocaya Antojeria, which offers excellent versions of favorites like a grilled steak burrito plus more unusual dishes such as queso fundido with goat birria and nopales tacos made with chihuahua cheese-crusted corn tortillas. The drink menu spotlights organic and biodynamic wines alongside cocktails that highlight the flavors of Mexico, such as the Chicana, a mix of charred tortilla-infused sotol, herbal liqueur, Mexican oregano and lime juice.

Time Out tip: On a warm day, the patio is perfect, but you can’t beat the hustle and bustle happening inside.

Address: 2800 W Logan Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Tue-Sat 5-10pm; Sun 5-9pm

What is it? An upscale omakase counter in Logan Square.

Why we love it: One of Chicago's most extensive (and expensive) omakase experiences can be found at Kyōten in Logan Square, where chef Otto Phan offers upwards of 20 courses at his eight-seat sushi counter. Priced at $440-$490 per person, depending on the day, it's an expensive meal, but the menu pulls out all the stops, with dishes catered individually to each guest. You can look forward to noshing on oceanic treats like kanpachi, uni, ebi and maguro.

Time Out tip: If you can't snag a seat at Kyōten, try its sister spot Kyōten Next Door.

Address: 2507 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Wed-Sun 6:30-9pm

What is it? A farm-to-table pioneer that’s been at the forefront of Chicago’s culinary scene for more than 25 years.

Why we love it: When Lula Cafe opened in 1999, it helped turn Logan Square into a dining destination while fueling the city’s farm-to-table movement. The cafe's brunch menu offers a more laid-back way to experience chef Jason Hammel’s cooking, which emphasizes seasonal produce in items like rotating breakfast sandwiches, a classic breakfast burrito and French toast. If you have room for dessert, the carrot cake is the move. You'll want to try to get a seat on the patio, assuming it's warm outside.

Time Out tip: Lula is an extremely popular place, but it offers brunch daily (closed on Tuesdays), so drop in on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds.

Address: 2537 N Kedzie Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Mon, Wed-Sun 9am-3pm, 4:30-10pm

What is it? An easygoing spot with plates inspired by chef/owner Joe Frillman’s brother’s farm.

Why we love it: Beyond a handful of day-one dishes, the menu at Daisies in Logan Square is constantly changing. That's mostly thanks to Frillman Farms, operated by chef and owner Joe Frillman's brother, Tim. The restaurant and farm work together to put the freshest produce in front of diners. Taste the difference in seasonal dishes like the winter squash with spiced ricotta, sage and maple brown butter. 

Time Out tip: No trip to Daisies is complete without a bowl of handmade pasta: try agnolotti with beets and smoked trout roe or pappardelle with mushroom ragu, basil and Parmesan.

Address: 2375 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Mon 7am-3pm; Tue-Thu, Sun 7am-10pm; Fri, Sat 7am-11pm

What is it? Chef Jason Vincent's diminutive Logan Square restaurant.

Why we love it: Though space is tight, Giant realizes its ambitions through shared plates of “simple, unpretentious Midwestern fare.” The menu is accessible yet adventurous, including saffron tagliatelle with dungeness crab and chili butter, and trout roe with sour cream. Accompanied by a glass of wine, Giant offers the kind of meal that should live up to the expectations.

Time Out tip: You'll need a reservation well in advance to grab one of the 44 seats, so plan accordingly.

Address: 3209 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Mon-Thu, Sun 5-10pm; Fri, Sat 5-11pm

What is it? Le Bouchon owner Oliver Poilevey and chef Marcos Ascencio's taco restaurant.

Why we love it: Taqueria Chingón pays homage to Mexico City with incredible tacos al pastor—filled with either traditional marinated pork or portobello mushrooms and celery root. The restaurant often offers tantalizing specials, too, such as pulpo al pastor. 

Time Out tip: Make sure to save room for the irresistible churros.

Address: 817 W Fulton Market, Chicago, IL 60607

Opening hours: Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat 8am-10pm; Thu 8am-5pm; Sun 8am-9pm

What is it? “Ramen Lord” Mike Satinover’s Logan Square restaurant.

Why we love it: Rather than striving for authenticity, Satinover experiments with dishes like the Midwest Shoyu made with thin, flat noodles, katsuobushi, pork chashu and fried onion, and the restaurant’s namesake Akahoshi Miso made with lard and crinkly Sapporo-style noodles. 

Time Out tip: There are also soupless varieties available if it’s too hot for broth.

Address: 2340 N California Ave, Suite B, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Tue-Sat 5-9pm

What is it? An inn with a top-notch American restaurant on the ground floor.

Why we love it: No matter the occasion or time of day, Longman & Eagle serves stellar fare and cocktails. If you're going for dinner, arrive ready to eat something adventurous (yes, this might involve organ meat). Whiskey lovers have one of the city's largest collections to try. 

Time Out tip: If you really fall in love with the place, you can stay the night in one of the six rooms upstairs.

Address: 2657 N Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Mon-Thu 11am-11pm; Fri 11am-1am; Sat 9am-1am; Sun 9am-11pm

What is it? A Michelin Bib Gourmand natural wine bar and bistro in Logan Square.

Why we love it: Owner Ethan Pikas changes the dinner menu at Cellar Door Provisions weekly, so you never know exactly what you’ll find. The focus is always on natural wine, complemented by many fermentation and preservation techniques, and plenty of fresh veggies. The restaurant makes its own fish sauce, miso and vinegar to use in dishes like marinated olives and bread with briny butter and fermented eggplant dip.

Time Out tip: Wine director Emily Sher's bottle list is, naturally, extensive. We recommend venturing outside your comfort zone with a suggestion from the staff.

Address: 3025 W Diversey Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60647

Opening hours: Tue-Fri 5-10pm

What is it? A Logan Square brewery.

Why we love it: The char-dappled pies here might just rival the beer that Middle Brow is best known for. Expect a short but sweet menu of options, like the classic margherita with fresh mozzarella and basil or the mushroom with melty fontina and caramelized onions. And because the dough's made in-house daily, there's not a dud on the menu. 

Time Out tip: The only mistake you can make is not pairing your `za with a beer: The Tackle Box lager is just right for a picnic at nearby Palmer Square Park. Drop in on Tuesdays for tavern-style pizzas.

Address: 2840 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Tue 2-10pm; Wed-Fri 8am-10pm; Sat 9am-10pm; Sun 9am-9pm

What is it? A buzzy Logan Square shop from self-professed noodle nerd Katie Dong.

Why we love it: Here at Monster Ramen, you’ll want to try the gyukotsu-style ramen, a specialty of southern Japan that’s made with beef bones and rarely found in the States. The noodles are no afterthought, either—they’re crafted in-house using an imported machine.

Time Out tip: Feel like splurging? The namesake Monster Ramen comes with wagyu rib roast, wagyu chashu and beef jam.

Address: 3435 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Wed, Thu 5-9:30pm; Fri 5-10:30pm; Sat noon-10:30pm; Sun noon-9:30pm

What is it? A Brooklyn import with locations in Wicker Park and Logan Square.

Why we love it: Paulie Gee’s serves a wide selection of Neapolitan-inspired wood-fired pizzas like the signature Hellboy with soppressata picante and Mike’s Hot Honey or the vegan Fast Car with garlic, mushrooms, sauteed bread crumbs and cashew ricotta dollops. You’ll also find Logan Squares, a riff on Detroit’s thick-crust rectangular pizzas, that can be made vegan or with gluten-free dough.

Time Out tip: If you’re looking for a New York-style slice, head to Paulie Gee’s Wicker Park location, which also offers breakfast sandwiches on weekend mornings.

Address: 2451 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Mon-Thu 5-10pm; Fri 5-11pm; Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 11am-10pm

What is it? An osteria spotlighting flavors of Italy's Piedmont region.

Why we love it: Regional Piedmontese cuisine is Osteria Langhe's specialty, and that means ingredients like truffles, cream and eggy pastas appear on this streamlined menu. The plin, miniature agnolotti filled with cheese, are beautiful and light; the carne cruda is impeccably seasoned; and a rotating selection of salads are fresh and well-dressed. 

Time Out tip: On Wednesdays, you can experience a taste of Piedmont with four courses for $55.

Address: 2824 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Wed-Sat 5-10pm; Sun 5-9pm

What is it? Former RPM chef Doug Psaltis and his wife, pastry chef Hsing Chen's, popular Greek restaurant.

Why we love it: Andros Taverna emphasizes traditional dishes made with sustainably sourced meat and seafood. Start with a selection of mezze, such as roasted calamari or a charred eggplant spread, then feast on tender grilled octopus. 

Time Out tip: Take advantage of the enclosed outdoor patio, which remains open throughout the winter.

Address: 2542 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Mon-Thu 4-10pm; Fri 11am-11pm; Sat 10am-11pm; Sun 10am-10pm

What is it? The brainchild of chefs Zeeshan Shah and Yoshi Yamada, which was named a 2025 James Beard Award semifinalist and received a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation the same year.

Why we love it: Superkhana International presents unique spins on classic Indian flavors. That means calzones stuffed with butter chicken, palak paneer-inspired pizza, breakfast dosa hash and saffron cardamom ice cream sandwiches. The cocktails are similarly interesting and include an old-fashioned mixed with ghee-washed bourbon.

Time Out tip: Stop by any day from 5-6pm for happy hour and enjoy discounted bites like mini calzones and a limited number of Indian-style cheeseburgers.

Address: 3059 W Diversey Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Wed, Thu 5-9pm; Fri 5-10pm; Sat 10am-2:30pm, 5-10pm; Sun 10am-2:30pm

What is it? A butchery-inspired, charcuterie-focused eatery.

Why we love it: Chef Justin Kaialoa sources whole animals from Midwestern farmers for his menu, with gourmet sandwiches like the Finocchiona & Butter with fennel seed salami, Wisconsin farm butter, arugula and sea salt. You can build your own meat and cheese plate or just opt for recommended pairings. 

Time Out tip: Lardon also offers a case of baked-in-house pastries that make a perfect take-home treat.

Address: 2200 N California Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Opening hours: Mon-Sat 8am-10pm; Sun 8am-4pm
