Menu is versatile and delivers whether you’re going for a quick lunch or a nice dinner. Pork is the specialty and I vouch. I don’t order tenderloins at restaurants typically but this is probably the best I’ve had — perfectly cooked and a great dish overall. Not among the top echelon of Michelin restaurants ive been to, but not far behind.

Awesome dinner here, was able to get seats at the bar last minute. We ordered a variety of dishes, starting with roasted bone marrow - so delicious and full of flavor, the herbs, bacon jam and onions made it perfect. Then we had mushrooms 3 ways, good but not too much to say. The grilled shrimp was great, slight crisp char and delicious, and the best was the Spanish Octopus, which was grilled perfectly, tender and flavorful, seasoned beautifully, it was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here.

Overall really good, only giving 4 stars because of a sneaky service fee and the peach crumble was disappointing. Overall the food was good, the pork ribs were the favorite. The short rib tortellini were okay but at $40 for just a few I would have hoped for some really special. The atmosphere and service were great. Overall a good experience, a little pricy for what it is but worth checking out if you are very close.

Every bite was overwhelmingly delicious!!! We had 6 dishes shared with one or two large bites each. The in-season peach sauces and sweet onions were the bomb!! Pork tenderloin, Ricotta and Lemon Ravioli, potatoes and mushrooms, tuna tartar and avocado with squid ink cracker and 36mos-aged Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto with a thin cheese cracker.

We’ve been going to the Purple Pig for years; first time since they moved though. It was exceptional, just as we remembered it.

A very popular spot. A very high noise level. Hard to hear others in your party . The food is very good. A bit pricey. Dinner for two was 200.

The Purple Pig Restaurant is a vibrant dining spot known for its bold Mediterranean-inspired flavors and creative small plates. The menu features an array of dishe charcuterie, cheeses, roasted meats, and fresh vegetables all crafted with unique seasonings and served with a modern twist. Every plate is perfect for sharing, making it an ideal place for groups who enjoy trying a variety of flavors. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, with a stylish interior that creates the perfect backdrop for both casual dining and special nights out. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and quick to recommend pairings that enhance the experience.

Fantastic food and service of the highest standard. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit which was also my first time in Chicago.
We dined in on a Saturday evening with 7 pm dinner reservations and arrived a half hour early. We were surprised to be seated immediately as the restaurant was pretty full. The food was amazing but a tad bit salty. We each ordered our own dish because one of us doesn’t eat meat and another was allergic to fish. The food is meant to be shared because it comes out as soon as it is ready in the kitchen. So that means you don’t get your meals at the same time but they did come out pretty quick. We were so hungry we didn’t care.

Food was fantastic, as we remembered from our last time here in May. Bone Marrow was just perfect. Lamb shank was divine Beef tartar was very good half duck was already a bit too much for us. Its great to revisit the place every time we are in Chicago. Can't wait till next time. A word about the noise - it's not very quiet. But the food is worth it!
