Heather’s Favorite Logan Square Places
Our Favorite Restaurants
There are so many great restaurants in our area but here are few of our favorites.
Lula Cafe opened their doors in 1999, around the same time we moved into the neighborhood. I still remember how excited we were to see them open! This family owned restaurant has been leading the "farm to table" movement for years. The neighborhood adores Lula's for their delicious, organic dishes, good vibes, and tremendous heart and soul. Lula's has also received favorable reviews from the New York Times, Food and Wine, and Bon Appetit to name a few. Don't miss this quintessential Logan Square experience.

We love this place! Delicious food, welcoming and attentive staff, killer drinks, great music, TV's for sports, inside/outside. We go early and take the entire family. Very fun place for all ages.

Cozy Corner is the beloved neighborhood diner that has been serving our Logan Square neighborhood for over 45 years! Their omelettes and pancakes are our favorite but there are lots of great options. The staff is always very warm, welcoming and efficient. You do not have to wait for coffee at this place. Cozy is right next to the California blue line EL stop (7 minute walk).

Always delicious and beautiful Greek restaurant serving sophisticated Mediterranean food. Would eat here every day of the week if we could! Rooted in tradition while highlighting quality products. In warmer months, it is buzzing with the walls up and the patio open. In 2021, Esquire Magazine named them one of "40 Best New Restaurants in America."

Acclaimed Chef Diana Davila, shares divine dishes inspired by her Mexican heritage. It can be hard to get a reservation but if you do, it is so worth it. The margaritas are must too.

Directly east of house just a couple blocks away. On weekend mornings, there is usually always a line. Homemade pie for breakfast is always a good idea! Their biscuits and breakfast sandwiches are delicious too. In the warmer months, people hang out in the back on the picnic benches.

To find Parson's, look out our front windows and across the street to the right. Do you see lots of red and white umbrellas?There it is! While their food isn't our favorite, they make dangerously good frozen negronis year-round. In the summer months, there is always a crowd and it's a fun place to meet up with friends. The outdoor space is considered one of the best in the city. Equipped with lots of picnic benches, a ping pong table, plus a large bar outside, it always feels like a party.

This neighborhood "salumeria" (Italian for delicatessen) has lots of charcuterie, salumi, and various other meats that are cured-in house. Other popular choices are sandwiches, salads and boards. If you love meat and cheese boards with wine, with a low-key European vibe, you will love this place. Some say their pastrami is the best in Chicago!

Osteria Langhe is dedicated to the serious appreciation of locally-sourced fresh meats and produce steeped in age-old traditions of Italy's Piemonte region, paired with the incomparable heritage of Northern Italian wines. We couldn't agree more! This is another one for the foodies. This is not your typical tradition Italian restaurant, so check the menu first. If the dishes look good to you, Osteria Langhe will not disappoint.

We have not been to Kyoten yet but hope to someday! Kyoten is omakase-only. This is the traditional Japanese dining style. You sit at the counter with a small group of people. Chef Otto will tailor makes your meal right in front of you. This is definitely a big splurge place. $440-$490 per person.

While this upscale Chinese Restaurant has a very nice dining room, we tend to order out and enjoy at home. We love their Star Anise Short Ribs, Mongolian "J" Beef, Angry Long Beans, Peking Duck Rolls and Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp. Some of the best Chinese we have experienced.
