This isn’t a great post because I forgot to take pictures (and I’m not the best picture taker) haha BUT, Demera, an Ethiopian restaurant in Uptown and Venteux, a French spot in the Loop (attached to the Pendry) had GREAT CRW deals. Both places I left stuffed (waking up after Venteux this morning I will definitely NOT be having breakfast, as I still feel very full!
Highlights of each…
Venteux: I had a mid-rare petit filet (au poivre) that was cooked to absolute perfection. The staff were so friendly, funny, and helpful with making price-effective selections that were good for a couple of girls still early in their careers. I love a good tartare and the French fry chips it came with were the perfect pairing!
Demera: The messob platter was Great in that it allowed you to have 3 veggies and 3 meats of any kind, which was a great split for two. Usually, when I go to Demera for two I spend about the same for less (1 app instead of 2, no dessert) so this was definitely a steal. Their honey cake was simple but delicious.
Don’t sleep on little/lesser known guys for CRWs in the future—I find that the most sought after places deliver less satisfactory results.
