Greek restaurants in Illinois

1. A Map

   Parthenon

   • Chicago, USA
   • Restaurants › Greek

   This veteran has anchored Greektown for three decades, hearing countless yells of ‘Opa’ to accompany the flaming saganaki (sharp, hard cheese cut into wedges or squares and fried). Greeks returning to the city from their suburban retreats have made the Parthenon a favorite. Vegetarians and gluten-free eaters will find lots of options, all marked on the extensive menu. A plus for drivers: there’s free valet service.

   Santorini

   • Chicago, USA
   • Restaurants › Greek

   Fish, both shelled and finned, honor the legacies of Greek fishermen at this popular spot, where fresh whole fish can be prepared and served tableside. The boisterous room manages to seem cozy, thanks in part to the large Aegean fireplace. Everything from the bread to the baklava is well made, arriving in portions huge enough to encourage convivial sharing.

   Mr Greek Gyros

   • Chicago, USA
   • Restaurants › Greek

   Although there’s no sign of Mrs, Ms or Mr Greek, ‘the Mr’ is a classic gyros joint with good prices. While the fluorescent lighting and plastic decor may lack a little charm, the gyros have a beauty of their own. Carnivores: this is definitely your place in the ’hood for late-night eats, as the UIC students, club goers and occasional bum will attest.

   Artopolis Bakery & Cafe

   • Chicago, USA
   • Restaurants › Greek

   Like a good Greek salad, this place has many ingredients. One of the city’s top bakeries – many of the nearby Randolph St joints get their bread here – which sells oozing baklava; a cafe-bar that opens onto the street, with tables along the front; and a food bar with classics like spinach pie, which you can eat in or get to go.
