We’ve had Chicago on our minds lately here at TravelingMamas.com, thanks to a tasty introduction to the city by Hilton. One of the most romantic things to do in any city is to explore the flavors and culinary offerings. Here are some choices we recommend for your romantic weekend in Chicago.

Brunch

State & Lake Tavern at theWit Hotel Chicago – A Mimosa and Bloody Mary Bar is the beginning of a beautiful and lasting brunch relationship. The morning menu is filled with classic culinary goodies and creations with their own twist.

Little Goat Diner – The founder of this eclectic diner, Stephanie Izard, isn’t just a creative chef, but also the winner of the fourth season of Top Chef, Bravo’s cooking competition show.

Little Bites and Cocktails

Palm Court at The Drake Hotel – Afternoon high tea at The Drake is something reserved for a special occasion. TravelingMamas.com feels that any time for weekend getaway deserves to be a celebration of this nature. Celebrate and #BeAWeekender with a glass of bubbly with your tea.

ROOF – One of Chicago’s best rooftop lounges, ROOF offers signature cocktails with an amazing view. Sip on a French 27 (their version of the classic French 75) while overlooking Chicago’s Theatre District. During the nicer months of the weather, ROOF is open air with a view of the stars. There’s always high energy excitement but for those searching for a corner for two, there are hidden alcoves dotted around the facility.

With choices on the menu such as a cold starter of foie gras terrine, a hot beginner course of Ricotta Gnudi, and entrees of Roasted Venison Loin one a bed of grilled sausage, huckleberries, turnips, and kale, those looking for a fine dining meal won’t be disappointed.
