You may have missed Chicago Restaurant Week (January 24-February 9), but no worries, there’s more.

Not unlike the Jimmy Buffet song, “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” it seems, if it’s winter in Chicago “it’s restaurant week somewhere. Restaurant Week specials can be a great time to try new spots–often at bargain prices. Here’s five to try running now through mid-March:

Andersonville Restaurant Week

Andersonville is a hotbed of good restaurants. From February 21 to March 1 many of Andersonville’s finest including the popular Bar Roma and will be participating in Andersonville Restaurant Week with $10, $20, and $30 menu specials and prix fixe offers throughout the 10 day “week.” Big Jones will be celebrating  Mardi Gras all week with $10 hand-crafted daiquiris, hurricanes, sazeracs and a Cajun Mardi Gras Table for $30 per person family style.

Lake Forest Lake Bluff Restaurant Week

Starting February 28 (through March 8) head north to Lake Forest and Lake Bluff for their Restaurant Week. Some of the best deals are at Inovasi (28 E. Center, Lake Bluff) with a prix fixe 3-course dinner (with 3 choices in each course) for $35 and The Gallery (202 E. Wisconsin Ave, Lake Forest) offering a 3-course dinner for $35. Both are upscale fine dining restaurants. Looking for something more casual, there’s lots more including The Otherdoor (28 E.

LaGrange Restaurant Week

Specially-priced menus are featured at $20, $30 or $40 per person (excluding tax and gratuity) at brunch, lunch and/or dinner at LaGrange Restaurant Week. LaGrange is an easy trip from the city—only 13 miles west of downtown or a quick ride on the Metra that stops in downtown La Grange.  15 restaurants will be dishing up multi-course, value-priced menus from a variety of diverse tastes including Italian, Indian, Japanese, Mexican, contemporary American or casual dining starting February 21 through March 1, 2020
