15 Best Restaurants in Lincoln Park Chicago

If you're looking hip in Lincoln Park Chicago, you're bound to get hungry. Where should you eat? In alphabetical order, here are my top 15 choices for a good meal.

Bacino's is one of the greatest places for a date in Lincoln Park. Though it's primarily a pizza place, it also serves pastas and salads. My favorite, though, is the pizza. It's best to get reservations for the weekend; otherwise, it's pretty easy to drop in. Average entree: $10 . It's definitely the best stuffed pizza in Lincoln Park.

Cocoran's Grill and Pub
It's very decent, typical Irish pub fare. Nice place to sit, eat, and drink awhile. Average entree is about $10, and there's no need for reservations.

Fattoush
If you want Lebanese food in Lincoln Park, this is the place to go. This is the place to find a great shish kabob and more. Average entree is between $9-15 with lunch even less.

Forno Diablo
I would call this the best place for creative pizza in Lincoln Park, even more creative than California Pizza Kitchen. If you want it on your pizza, you can have it. However, think beyond pineapple into butternut squash and the like. From what other reviewers say, it's no problem to be seated on a typical night, and the wait staff is good. The average entree runs $9-$15.

Galway Arms
It calls itself a "Celtic fusion" restaurant, so it's not your typical Irish pub. You can dig into appetizers such as curried French fries and entrees such as sweet potato crusted salmon. It also has a wide variety of salads. You can catch music on Friday and Saturday nights, and they have weekly beer specials. Dishes range in price from $10-$20.

Kabuki
There aren't that many places to find Japanese food in Chicago. Fortunately for Lincoln Park, it has a great one in Kabuki that isn't too expensive either. This is a very small place, so arrive early to score some of the 12 seats at the sushi bar. Visitors suggest going for the sushi boat, which can feed at least two people.
