Foodlife
‘Call it a restaurant. Call it an eatery. Just don’t call it a food court!’ demands the mantra of Foodlife – a place with over a dozen different globally themed kitchens featuring gourmet à la carte options in a sleek atmosphere. Situated inside the Water Tower Place shopping center, it’s ideal for gangs of shoppers who are so overwhelmed by the Magnificent Mile that they can’t come to a consensus.

Bite Café
Join the shaggy rockers reading graphic novels and eating globe-spanning dishes like the veggie burrito with tofu, falafel plate and Thai green curry. The small room is industrial chic, with gray booths and funky artwork peppering exposed brick walls. Up until 8:30pm, you can bring booze over from the Empty Bottle bar–music venue next door to accompany meals.

Handlebar
The cult of the bike messenger runs strong in Chicago, and this restaurant-bar is a way station for tattooed couriers and locals who come for the strong, microbrew-centric beer list, vegetarian-friendly food (including West African groundnut stew and tofu fajitas) and festive back beer garden.
