Home Bistro

Top choice in Chicago


Home Bistro (aka ‘HB’) feels as cozy as the nouveau comfort food it serves. Cider-soaked mussels, goat's cheese risotto and buttermilk fried rabbit leg hit the tables in the wood-and-tile-lined space. Try to snag a seat by the front window, which entertains with Boystown people-watching. You can bring your own wine or beer, which is a nice money saver.
