Jeremy Allen White’s Favorite Chicago Spot

Even better, when the star of The Bear shares his personal Chicago favorite restaurant. By the way, it is also one of my all-time favorites. I visited this place for an after-show dinner when I was there just a few years ago, and I have yet to forget. Jeremy Allen White is also a fan of the place.

NBC5 Chicago:

Jeremy Allen White said Bavette's Bar & Boeuf, one of Chicago’s most popular steakhouses, and La Scarola, a local Italian institution, are his top two restaurants in Chicago on the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Award carpet.

Bavette's Bar & Boeuf boasts some of the most visually appealing setups in the restaurant industry. The entire place exudes cozy goodness. It's part of the reason I fell in love with Bavette's, and I'm guessing it's the same reason for so many others.

What Diners Are Saying About Bavette's

A review on Yelp from just a month ago agrees:

Terrific experience all-around here. Fine dining, beautiful ambiance, happening spot, excellent food.

Bavette's is at 218 West Kinzie Road in Chicago.

Sure, Bavette's sets the bar for upscale Chi-city comfort food, but the top burger chains below show delicious eats don't always need a reservation.
