The Windy City has long been known for more than deep dish pizza <\/a>and Chicago-style franks,<\/a> but if you needed blatant (and delicious) proof of that fact, five more well-loved restaurants have just been added to the esteemed Michelin Guide. Ahead of the annual declaration of coveted Michelin stars and Bib Gourmands, five “new” eateries have joined the guide’s “Recommended” category as of today, July 16,\u00a0staying true to Michelin’s ethos of illuminating culinary juggernauts throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Later this year, the Michelin Guide Ceremony will take place and expectantly these Chicago favorites will earn Bib Gourmand or Star awards. Either way, we\u2019re making dining reservations now.<\/p>\n

The new additions to the Michelin Guide Chicago 2025 are:<\/p>\n

Mirra:<\/strong> Bucktown<\/strong>
Energetic and full of color, Mirra serves up Mexican and Indian fusion dishes, creating special flavors that are difficult to replicate. Jewel tones, subway tiles, exposed white brick, and large windows set the dining stage, while chefs Zubair Mohajir and Rishi Kumar operate at the helm.<\/p>\n

Tama: Bucktown<\/strong>
Creating an ethereal and inventive experience, Tama, is described on its website as \u201ca votive (an offering or promise) for someone that requires help. A miracle.\u201d And with sharable plates and a relaxed atmosphere, perhaps their meaningful community approach, blending Mediterranean, Asian, and South American flavors, hits the spot for eager diners searching for something newfangled. Open for lunch and dinner, chefs Avgeria Stapaki and Adalberto Olaez have created an attention-grabbing experience inside of house-shaped restaurant, flanked by thickset modern Chicago buildings.<\/p>\n

Taqueria<\/strong> Ching\u00f3n<\/strong>: West<\/strong> Loop
<\/strong>These are not your abuela’s Mexican recipes: inspired by Mexico City-style street food, Taqueria Ching\u00f3n rings with hungry patrons. What was once a smaller Bucktown\u00a0establishment has transformed into a larger hot spot in Fulton Market. From duck carnitas to classic al pastor, chefs Marcos Ascencio and Oliver Poilevey have you covered.<\/p>\n

Nadu: Lincoln<\/strong> Park<\/strong>
For elevated Indian cuisine with a fresh twist, Nadu, with chef Sujan Sarkar, serves up sharable plates that are as delicious as they are beautiful. Vegetarian, vegan and meat dishes satiate every type of diner, but leave your babies at home\u2014only diners above five years of age are appropriate.<\/p>\n

Oliver\u2019s:<\/strong> South<\/strong> Loop<\/strong>
Let yourself be transported to another time: the golden age of Hollywood. This 1930s Los Angeles-inspired restaurant feels as glamorous as is it does charming, with old photos, vintage artwork, and mirrors dotting the walls. Open for golden hour, come in with friends or loved ones for a boozy beverage\u00a0prior to a dinner of steak, seafood or\u00a0vegetarian dishes\u2014you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Windy City has long been known for more than deep dish pizza and Chicago-style franks, but if…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":68789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[10633,960,5386,1818,10634,988],"class_list":{"0":"post-68788","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-categories-restaurants","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-illinois","12":"tag-news-eating","13":"tag-restaurants"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114866305375605263","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
