Do you know the famous slogan of The Chicago Diner? “Meat Free Since ’83.” But this was so long ago! So the creators of the restaurant were undoubtedly among the pioneers in vegetarian fast food. There are several locations: the original one in Lakeview and the more modern one in Logan Square. The menu is very extensive and offers many vegetarian options. Here you can try burgers with meat substitutes such as seitan. The staff is well trained and knowledgeable in the intricacies of food preparation.

All products are organic, of course, and the menu is seasonal. Besides, the restaurant has three Michelin recommendations!
