Best Cozy Restaurants in Edgebrook

Took my FIL out for his birthday to little Madrid. We had a variety of tapas. The Albondigas, Calamares fritos, patatas aliolo, euro bacon and gambas al ajillo were excellent. The croquetas de pollo was outstanding. Probably the best thing we had there. We rounded up dinner with some valenciana paella and tostas, which we had to take home since the tapas filled us up pretty well. The cafe was tightly packed and noisy, which reminded us of our vacation in Spain. A definite must go if you're craving tapas or want to enjoy Spanish food without having to buy tickets to Madrid!

We’ve had an amazing experience at Anelya. From the cozy interior to the serving of the starters, we were intrigued by what dish was coming next and will definitely want to come back. We ordered borscht, lokshina, a bunch of different starters and pyana vishnya dessert. We also tried a bunch of nastoyankas with cherries, pickles and sea buckthorn and they were all amazing and had a right amount of buzz.

Great as always! Busy on half-price wine night. Our favorite bistro north of the city.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Artango, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff, setting the tone for the entire evening. The ambiance was perfect—elegant yet relaxed, with soft lighting and tasteful decor that made us feel both comfortable and special. Now, let’s talk about the steaks. Simply put, it was one of the best we ever had. Cooked to perfection, the exterior had a beautiful sear, while the inside was juicy and tender, just as we ordered. The flavors were rich, and the seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it. Paired with a side of asparagus, mashed potatoes, and a glass of full-bodied red wine, it was a meal that left us savoring every bite. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. If you're looking for a place that offers both exceptional food and outstanding service, Artango is a must-visit. We can't wait to return for another incredible meal.

Sam, our waiter, was the best. Food excellent. The place smells great with its wood burning hearth. Perfect for a wintry chicago evening.
