Another hit for Chef Paul Kahan, the Blackbird Restaurant is definitely the top restaurant in Chicago and one of the top eateries in the United States.  Blending French and American classics, Blackbird is named after the slang term in French for a Merlot grape.  The restaurant is upscale and peaceful, with a cuisine featuring many contrasting flavors and seasonal ingredients that make the dining experience unique.

The wine list is long and distinguished, helping make the Blackbird the top restaurant in Chicago, and the menu offers a variety of tastes.  Try stuffed squid with olives, grilled bread, red peppers, and arugula or farm suckling pig with turnip kraut, quince marmalade, and cider gastrigque as an appetizer.  Follow up with California sturgeon and braised beef short rib with royal trumpet mushrooms, pickles, dill, and knefla or a perfectly seared hanger steak with toasted faro, brusselini, caperberry salsa verde, and red wine.  For dessert, assuming you still have room, try the butterscotch pot de creme with fresh churros, scotch poacked appleas, and arrop with a cup of coffee.

Private dining accommodations can be made, and online reservations are available.  So, if you are looking for the top restaurant in Chicago, I suggest making a visit to the Blackbird – the creative designs of Chef Kahan have never disappointed in the past, and you shouldn’t expect anything different here.
