Avec Restaurant & Wine Bar — Len Bogacki Like

Savoring the Harissa-Marinated Rouget at Avec in Chicago, Illinois

Trendy and urbane without being overly pretentious, Avec prepares the sort of Mediterranean wine cuisine that melts in your mouth; among the many inspired dishes you’ll find on their seasonal menu is a plate of prosciutto with marinated ruby red grapefruit, cucumber, mint, red onion, and gin vinaigrette. With a wood-burning oven, free wifi and a cheese cave stocked with imports from Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal, it’s no wonder all manner of sharply dressed hipsters are drawn to Avec’s cozy, cedar-lined row of communal tables. And, although it might be awhile before a table opens up, most patrons agree—it’s definitely worth the wait.
