Avec

Dinner at Avec.
615 W. Randolph St, Chicago, IL




This cute little place serves Mediterranean-inspired new American food. Too hip to take reservations, Avec also doesn't believe in purely savory or purely sweet concoctions and tends towards dishes that combine elements of both. Hints of citrus and mint found themselves everywhere and I started wondering if the head chef really loved mojitos.

But I really can't complain. Everything we tried was delicious. The concept behind the restaurant is quite simple: plates large and small, designed to be shared with your companions. The communal atmosphere made talking to one's neighbors less awkward, which makes Avec the place to go to get additional recommendations from local foodies! I loved the Chorizo-stuffed Medjool dates and Prosciutto with ruby red grapefruit, cucumber, and mint.
