The Bazaar Meat by José Andrés Chicago

The Bazaar Meat by José Andrés sits on North Wacker Drive. The venue holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award and ranks as no. 38 on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants list.

The kitchen leans into creative grills rather than the traditional chophouse format common to this part of the city. While neighbouring steakhouses rely on leather-bound predictability and clubby formality, this room runs smart and elegant without the stiff, quiet feel of its peers. The menu remains a departure from the city’s standard cuts, making it a better choice for those who want an international approach to meat over a classic ribeye. It sits a fifteen-minute walk from the Willis Tower, providing an option for diners who prefer a technically adventurous kitchen to the usual downtown standbys.
