With the most talked-about Mexican Restaurant in Evanston, Fonda Cantina, a splash of color and authentic cultural décor pieces, Perpetuum Designs gained a lot of attention in the local hospitality market. Two of their most anticipated upcoming projects are due to open late spring/beginning of summer in the City of Chicago. One is a Japanese upscale Ramen restaurant in East Village and the other, a Puerto Rican takeout café in Irving Park, just five minutes away from their other restaurant carrying their design, Stay and Play Game Café: a board game restaurant concept featuring unique elements.

Art Institute Partners with Levy and Boka Restaurant Group for Onsite Dining

The Art Institute of Chicago announces the relaunch of dining at the museum in partnership with culinary leaders Levy and Boka Restaurant Group. The shared vision of these three iconic Chicago brands will transform the food and beverage experience at the museum and will debut through reimagined menus at the Market, Modern Café in the Modern Wing, and the Member Bar at Terzo Piano. The Market, which will welcome guests with a collection of distinct dining experiences, will first introduce Chef Chris Pandel’s La Patinette, home to Frenchinspired sandwiches, soups and salads. GG’s Chicken Shop, the second outpost of Chef Lee Wolen’s Southport flagship serving chicken sandwiches, salads, and sides. Cafés will also introduce house-made pastries, as well as an expanded coffee & tea menu. Members can enjoy the Member Bar at Terzo Piano. More news about the elevated food and beverage experience at the Art Institute will be shared over the next several months. This represents the first joint project for Levy and Boka Restaurants.
