The Chicago Diner is a ‘must stop’ for me whenever I visit the Windy City. A vegetarian haven, you don’t find veggie eats like this just anywhere. The diner is true to form with red vinyl upholstered bar stools at the diner counter. The decor is decidedly retro Americana complete with neon signage, and the menu is filled with your choice of comfort food favourites served in heaping portions. Everything is vegetarian with plenty of vegan and gluten free options. Their ‘Radical Reuben’ is known world wide and I felt right at home with their Canadian classic poutine!
Meat free since ’83
The cake fridge will taunt you with an assortment of impressive cakes and pies but the idea of ordering from one of the many flavours of milkshakes may just be too good to pass up. You will be amazed to learn the milkshake you have sucked dry to the point of straw sucking sounds – is indeed completely dairy free!
There are two locations in Chicago. One on Halsted (my usual) 3411 N. Halsted St. and the other at Logan Square 2333 N. Milwaukee Ave.
