New on Resy: 3 Arts Cafe, Pizzeria Bebu, Bandera Chicago, and More

Inside Restoration Hardware, in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood, lies 3 Arts Club Café– a stunning restaurant marked by its all-season Grand Courtyard. The Instagram-worthy space features a dining room that’s outfitted with full-grown trees and a giant skylight in lieu of a ceiling. All three meals of the day are offered here, from local yogurt at breakfast, to slow-roasted chicken at dinner.

Walk-ins only.

Ideally situated on Michigan Avenue, in the heart of the Magnificent Mile, Bandera is the place to go for all things Southwestern. Among the restaurant’s signature offerings is jalapeño iron skillet cornbread, which arrives to your table straight out of the oven, rotisserie chicken that’s roasted all day over an open fire, and live jazz (performed nightly).

Inspired by the autostradas of Italy, the team behind Mino’s converted a 60s era garage into an industrial-chic, modern trattoria in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka. Family-friendly and very good for groups, it’s a place to gather over antipasti, pizze, primi (read: pasta), and other authentic Italian fare.

In a casual setting in Lincoln Park, Pizzeria Bebu is serving one-of-a-kind, crispy brick-oven pizza made with locally sourced ingredients. Given that Chicago is a town dominated by its fair share of pizza offerings, it’s no small feat that Bebu shines through. It is the first restaurant owned by Zach Smith, although he brings with him a wealth of industry experience, including stints at Nico Osteria and RPM Italian; while his executive chef, Jeff Lutzow, put in time at Nico Osteria and Publican.

The Vig is a 1950s-themed sports parlor in the heart of Old Town. Refined bar food (think lobster deviled eggs, brisket bao buns, and blistered shishito peppers) complement the beverage menu “designed for the contemporary drinker.” There are house bets, draft cocktails, classics, and slushies, most with quirky names like Sage Advice and Mama Said. Leather banquettes and an exposed-beam ceiling make The Vig a cut above the rest when it comes to watching the game (and the TVs do not disappoint) over dinner and drinks.
