Hey Merbabes! Today, I am getting serious. We are talking about my favorite thing on this planet. Brunch. The most popular question I get in my DMs is where should I brunch in Chicago. I figured it was time to put together a master list of my all-time favorite destinations.
Below are 10 places I absolutely love + you can catch me at every weekend.
The Allis
My go-to, fave, weekly destination. You already know. I’m all about cozying up with a cup of hot green tea + grabbing my favorite all day breakfast, (sans salmon). I love coming here during the week for a chill spot to eat + “work” aka sip on tea with my laptop open. If you’re heading out on a weekend, I recommend making a reservation!

Maison Marcel
It’s probably a good thing this little spot is all the up in Lakeview otherwise I would never leave. A cup of tea + a little avocado toast is the way to my heart. The food is fab, but the decor is what will make you fall in love with this space.

Clever Rabbit
Clever Rabbit is a veggie-focused restaurant (fave) with a strong brunch game. I have a habit of choosing one item on a menu + ordering it for the rest of my life...at Clever Rabbit its the Rabbit Breakfast. I mean look at it, what else could you ask for?

Little Goat
Little Goat has totally become a tourist destination but that will never separate me from my beloved Parathas Burrito. I recommend going during the week, its perfect, quiet, cozy diner, grab a cup of tea, get your brunch, + always get fries.

Cafe Marie Jeanne
This spot is a hidden gem, with some of the best brunch in the city. My favorite part about it is the breakfast a la carte, it’s basically build-a-bear for brunch. I love getting scrambled eggs, toast, greens, + mushrooms! Drooling just thinking about it.

Grange Hall
This is another spot that I hit all times of the day but also has an incredible brunch menu. I am crazy about their veggie burgers, I will go for one of those as early as 10am, but their brunch menu is not to be overlooked, they have large selection of killer vegetarian (+ not) brunch dishes. Blueberry basil pancakes I’m looking at you. 
This is one of the only places I can think of that I ever vary my order, that’s how good it is.

The Winchester
I love this little spot. That is basically all I want to say. Good vibes, super good brunch.

La Sirena Clandestina
This spot feels like summer. Sip an iced tea, while you eat your way through the best (+ biggest) kale salad ever. They currently have a lovely veggie omelet but I fell hard for a vegetarian rice + bean bowl, please bring it back.
