Dr. Murphy’s Food Hall

Feast on banh mi, dumplings, pizza and more at this food hall located at the newly redeveloped Cook County Hospital building in the Illinois Medical District. A venture of chef Akhtar Nawab—most notably behind the Mexican restaurants Alta Calidad in New York and Otra Vez in New Orleans—Dr. Murphy's Food Hall is named for John B. Murphy, a leading surgeon who worked and taught in the former hospital. The hall's 10,000-square-foot digs complement the Beaux Arts-style building and include an outdoor patio and bar area in addition to its mix of 11 food stalls, which house concepts like Dimo's Pizza, Kathmandu Momo Station, Brekkie & Bake Shop and Fons plant-based empanadas.
