The very popular Chicago Restaurant Week kicks off Friday, with more than 500 participating restaurants across dozens of cuisines -- but you don't need to go to the city to experience it. In fact, at least 50 of the featured restaurants are in the suburbs, according to organizers. The 17-day event offers set menus and fixed pricing brunch, lunch and dinner, Choose Chicago says. The popular event allows diners to visit neighborhoods or restaurants they may not otherwise have considered, or might not be able to get a reservation at. "Go to a place you've never been before," Isaac Reichman of Choose Chicago said. "Go explore a new cuisine or neighborhood. Go to new restaurants or mainstays. We've got so many different options." In addition to the city, the restaurants span multiple suburbs, with set menus and pricing of lunch or brunch at $30, and dinner at $45 or $60, depending on the restaurant. The week runs through Feb. 9, and features 500 restaurants in total, spanning 35 Chicago neighborhoods and nearly two dozen suburbs. "Book now," Reichman said. "They are going fast." Below is the full list of suburban Chicago restaurants participating in Chicago Restuarant Week for 2025, and where they are located.
