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.

Best restaurant in Chicago- HANDS DOWN. Not just ONE of my favorite restaurants... MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE RESTAURANT. Every dish comes out & is nothing less than spectacular. There is a reason why Chef Jimmy is a James Beard Award winner. His talent shines through on every plate that is sent out of that kitchen. It is obvious that he is exceptionally knowledgable about his craft & has extensive training both here & abroad. Amongst my favorites on the menu - charred cauliflower, burrata pugliese, pig's ear (you must try it!!!),... read more

The Purple Pig is a MUST VISIT every single time I am in the Windy City! A true testament to the expansive reach of the inventive menu is the numerous friends and colleagues who have visited The Purple Pig (whether due to recs/ reviews or at random while exploring Michigan Ave) and consistently rave about the entire experience! The accolades both locally and nationally are well deserved. To start, the ambience is vibrant and full of energy. The music selection is always upbeat and enjoyable. The excited vibe is in the air- f... read more

Purple Pig is my go to when I want a delicious, flavor packed dining experience. I have frequented the restaurant since it opened and have recommended to family, friends, and colleagues. I love that while the menu is ever evolving (with a focus on always the most fresh and seasonal fare) I can always get my airy whipped feta, juicy turkey leg, and house made sorbet fix. The house cured meats must not be missed either. With a name like "Purple Pig" don't be fooled - the vegetable dishes shine just as brightly on the menu as t... read more

We used to come to Purple Pig at lease once a month for anniversaries, birthdays or just because. Food here is always awesome & never disappoint. Upon taking the first bite I always want more. Purple Pig is one of our top choices when dining out. One Friday night we decide to come here. We ordered coffee, a few items we always order plus 2 more new items on the menu. Our non-smiling waiter took our order then disappeared. During the entire time our water was never refilled. Half way through our dinner we notice coffee never ... read more

There are few times when chaos is a good thing and this is one of them. The Purple Pig is controlled chaos in the form of a culinary ballet. I have been there four times each better than the last and let me just say wow the atmosphere is wonderful, the drinks are eccentric, the wine delish and the food phenomenal! Always worth the drive from South Bend just to visit and dine in this joint!
