I've dined at over 100 restaurants in Chicago and narrowed it down to my 11 favorites.
My top picks are a mix of Italian, Mexican, Indian, Greek, and other cuisines.

I don't cook, but I love eating out — so much so that I've tried over 100 restaurants in Chicago.

Some of the best restaurants in the city aren't ones I expected to fall in love with, and others are world-renowned.

Regardless, inflation has sent menu prices soaring over the last few years, so I'm not trying to waste money on a subpar dining experience. And you shouldn't either.

Here are 11 restaurants in Chicago I think you should visit if you're looking for an incredible meal.
