The weather and restrictions are starting to change. But we still need to keep supporting local restaurants! The Evanston restaurants, food shops, and caterers listed below are currently open and ready to serve delicious food and beverages with many still offering outdoor dining.
As Illinois moves into the Bridge Phase, restaurants will have expanded new capacity limits. But those limitations mean that our beloved Evanston restaurants still need our support to survive and thrive.
See the Evanston Outdoor Dining Guide from Evanston Parent.
