The Next Best Thing to Being in Greece – Zorba’s Café

Looking forward to your next vacation? Take a breather at Zorba’s Café.

With its scenic photographs, exotic bouzouki music, and the blue-white café reminiscent of Santorini, Zorba’s is the place for your temporary escape to Greece. As you indulge in a delicious souvlaki wrapped in pita bread or feast on other Greek homemade specialties, relax in the simple and homey atmosphere of this family owned café. Other than the allure of Zorba’s energetic staff and its original recipes that were passed down over four generation, Zorba’s outdoor sidewalk patio is a great place to lounge as you imagine your secret getaway to the Aegean Sea.

Insider tip: Before you visit, go on Facebook and friend “Zorba’s Greek Restaurant” to learn about special deals and events like “Kids eat free!” or belly dance shows.

It’s “Fromage” at Pastoral

Ooh la la! At the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Lake Street, you’re sure to hear plenty of French speaking voices coming from the France tourism office. Perhaps it’s no coincidence then that the best cheese in the city is found in a petite shop across the intersection at Pastoral.

What may be the norm in France certainly isn’t here in the U.S., but that doesn’t mean we can’t have our cheese and eat it too. Pastoral focuses on small amounts of high quality cheeses from across the globe and if you want a taste, by all means ask! The fromagers are always happy to dig up bites of heaven for visitors to try. Those who become obsessed with their selection can go on to join the Cheese of the Month Club.

Aside from the cheese, Pastoral has freshly baked breads, plenty of charcuterie, and an antipasti bar. At this point the only thing one needs for a party is the vino- and they’ve got plenty of it.

There’s a reason Pastoral keeps swiping all the awards in Chi-town so stop by and taste why.
