The Best Restaurants in Chicago's Greektown

It was quite difficult to come up with this list. I could make a list of five Greek food only restaurants but if my list was to reflect the restaurants I enjoy the most when visiting Greektown, this is my list of the best five restaurants in Greektown. As we visit Chicago quite often we have our favorites but we also relied on information from Chicago based friends and family. Any of these restaurant recommendations will provide you with a great eating experience.

Avec Restaurant - Greektown,Chicago

Delicious! Great place to go for an unpretentious, delicious meal. While the seating is crowded, the other diners are most likely friendly and only want to know what you ordered that looks so good. Definitely try the chorizo stuffed madjool dates wrapped in bacon and the duck confit--surprising flavors! Great pricing and a bargain for every meal we have eaten here.
