About this business

Located along the Magnificent Mile, this lively tapas-style restaurant is aptly named, specializing in "Cheese, Swine & Wine," but also serving a large selection of pork-free options. The prices are reasonable, with most dishes under ten dollars, and there's an extensive wine list. Sit at the communal tables and share some delicious Mediterranean dishes at one of the top restaurants in the county.

I eat here every time I come to Chicago from Idaho and never feel bad for not trying other restaurants.

I saw this place on Food Network and had to try it. I was concerned when they said I had to wait for almost 3 hours, but I've never waited anywhere that was as worth the wait as the Purple Pig!!!! If you are in Chicago, take a few friends and just try things! Worth every dime!!!

One of my favorite restaurants! Living in NYC my standards for food is high, and The Purple Pig is one of my favorite restaurants. Whenever I visit Chicago this is my first stop for food. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff and owners are always above and beyond with their service.

Aside from the Purple Pig, there aren't many restaurants in the US that make me feel like I am instantly transported to a small, family run restaurant on the banks of the Mediterranean. The ambience is at the same time adrenaline pumping as it is casual with the cache of a James Beard Award on the wall. The menu has variety, yet keeps the consistency of flavor and uniqueness. The passion from the open kitchen wafts through the dining room and makes the diner... read more
