Girl & the Goat

Top choice in Chicago


Stephanie Izard's flagship restaurant rocks. The soaring ceilings, polished wood tables and cartoon-y art on the walls offer a convivial atmosphere where local beer and housemade wine hit the tables, along with unique small plates such as catfish with pickled persimmons. Reservations are difficult; try for walk-in seats before 5pm or see if anything opens up at the bar.

Goat dishes figure prominently, of course; Izard buys her signature meat from a local farm. If you can't get a seat here try Little Goat, Izard's casual diner across the road.
