It’s Black history month throughout the US and Canada, and we love to shine the spotlight on incredible Black history, culture, and businesses. Today we’re bringing you part 1 of 10 Black owned restaurants to visit in our hometown, Chicago, and we couldn’t be more excited. Let’s dive right in.

14 Parish Rhum Bar

Owned and run by Racquel Fields, Rhum Bar specializes in Caribbean delicacies and over 100 varieties of rhum. And it’s quite the favorite in Hyde Park.

With a fusion menu spanning Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Cuba, and Jamaica, and fun cocktails to give your night a zingy twist, 14 Parish is the perfect restaurant to celebrate or enjoy your friends or partner’s company.

Open Tuesday to Sunday, 3pm till late, you can experience a Caribbean style evening without having to hop on a flight.

Peach’s on 47th

Peach’s on 47th is a bright and airy restaurant offering delicious Southern staples to excited Chicagoans for breakfast and lunch.

With a menu offering up everything from Shrimp & Cheese Grits, to Fried Chicken & Toast, a Breakfast Bowl, or even the Hangover Plate, plus freshly brewed coffee and Peach Cobbler for those looking for something a little more sweet, Peach’s is a favorite of the city.

Grab your meal to eat-in or take away, or pull up curbside for that quick coffee. Peach’s is there for you no matter what you need between Wednesday and Sunday, 8am – 2pm.

Batter & Berries

World famous French Toast awaits you at Batter & Berries, one of Chicago’s best loved breakfast, brunch, and lunch spots.

With four signature flavors of batter dipped brioche, it’s no wonder that this is the spot for french toast in the city. That’s not all they’re known for though, with some of their claim to fame also coming from their fully homemade food. Think homemade Cheese Crusted Hash Browns, spicy pork sausages, and maple chicken and apple, and you’ll be on the right track.

Right now, it’s limited seating indoors, with the option to take-away if you’d prefer. And these guys are open every day of the week, so whenever the mood takes you, you’ll be able to get your fill at Batter & Berries.

Sip & Savor

Sip & Savor is known as being a spot where ‘coffee and community meet’. It’s a coffee shop, but so much more. It’s a ‘home away from home’ for the Chicago south side community, and has become a neighborhood name to watch.

Established by Trez V. Pugh III, Sip and Savor is a coffee shop brimming with culture, hospitality, and Fair Trade coffee that helps keep the world a little bit more sustainable and fair.

Grab your traditional coffee, latte, mocha, blended drink, tea or smoothie, and indulge in soup, a sandwich, or choose from their incredible assortment of cakes and cookies to make your visit complete.
