The Deal: $60 Dinner

Both locations of Avec have deals we like. The West Loop location offers a three-course $60 dinner and $30 brunch and lunch. The menu is the same at both locations, and you'll get things like olives, chickpea hummus, chorizo-stuffed dates, and roasted duck tagine.

The Deal: $60 Dinner, Per Person 

This hyped-up West Loop spot has been booked up before it even opened, which isn’t surprising considering it’s from a popular Top Chef winner and in a busy neighborhood. But the food matches the hype: Rose Mary is a great restaurant, and with one of the best Restaurant Week deals. The three-course $60 dinner menu includes a tuna crudo, cacio e pepe, dry aged strip, and a toffe zelten with vanilla gelato. 

The Deal: $60 Lunch

Perilla Steakhouse is a mix of Korean BBQ and American steakhouse staples, located right by the river in the Loop. It’s also the only hotel restaurant that’s on our list of 2024’s best new restaurants, thanks in part to dishes like the rice cake cacio pepe. For Restaurant Week, you can get that dish or their dry-aged smashburger as part of their $60 lunch deal. You can also choose between a shrimp cocktail with gochujang sauce, or a seaweed and short rib starter.

The Deal: $45 Dinner, $60 Dinner

Daisies in Logan Square has a $45 and a $60 dinner menu for Restaurant Week. Both include some standout dishes like the fried brussels sprouts to start and the stuffed farfalle with pumpkin. But for $60, a fourth course will let you try their grilled pork collar with mushrooms or rainbow trout.

The Deal: $60 Dinner

Located in a 19th-century River North townhouse, the Spanish steakhouse Asador Bastian is elegantly low-key but not stuffy, and normally very expensive (you’d probably spend at least $100 on the beef alone).

The Deal: $30 Lunch, $45 Dinner, $60 Dinner

This Uptown spot is one of our favorite Ethiopian restaurants, and their injera, doro wat, and lega tibs are particularly excellent.

The Deal: $60 Dinner

For $60, you can get a four-course meal from one of our favorite sushi spots, Momotaro. That includes dishes like a six-piece nigiri and their incredibly flavorful chicken dumplings, which we’d tell you to order any time of year. The vegetarian dinner menu also has the options of cucumber roll or baby shiitake, but the same high-intensity dilemma of having to choose between cream puff, flourless chocolate cake, or seasonal sorbet for dessert.

The Deal: $60 Dinner

Every dish at this casual Italian restaurant in Humboldt Park has some kind of creative twist. Meatballs filled with melted scamorza offer the benefits of a Juicy Lucy without the risk of third-degree burns, and a deconstructed “lasagna” comes with handmade garlic mafaldine, whipped ricotta, and mushroom bolognese. Both dishes, among others, are available on the $60 Restaurant Week dinner menu at Segnatore.

The Deal: $45 Dinner, $60 Dinner

Going to Dell Rooster in West Town is always a good decision. This isn’t just because this all-day Latin American restaurant has incredible food (and it does) but because it works for all sorts of situations. They're doing a $45 dinner for Restaurant Week, featuring options like a shrimp, mussels, and chicken paella (an example of a shared plate that shouldn’t be shared), as well as a pork chop with mofongo.

The Deal: $30 Lunch, $60 Dinner

Kayao is a spot in Old Town with a soundtrack and scene that feels more like River North, and Peruvian dishes that you can get for $30 (brunch) or $60 (dinner) during Restaurant Week.

Get ready to choose between the likes of ceviche and yuca fritter, and lightly grilled octopus and branzino.

The Deal: $60 Dinner
