Restaurants
So you think you need to leave the suburbs to get a thoughtful menu and attentive service? Thanks to the talented crew at Fuel you can find, locally-sourced, organic dishes that rival Chicago's top eateries in the heart of Wilmette.
We recommend starting with a grilled veggie plate filled with Wisconsin-grown produce. If a salad is more your style, try the Caprese or Lyonnaise for rich flavors that will leave you wondering, "Was that an appetizer or a main course?" Ask your server to pair one of their Californian or Italian reds with your meal for a delicate marriage of terroir.
Once you've had your vitamins and minerals, move on to one of their entrees. Perhaps the Cedar Plank Broiled Salmon Filet with balsamic mustard glaze for mom, the pork-chop with apricot for dad, and a grass-fed burger for the kids? Don't forget to be generous with the bread, provided by Heavenly Hearth Bread Company. Sip on a sweet cup of fair-trade coffee from Chicago's own Metropolis at the end of your meal and leave a lovely and locally-crafted taste in your mouth!
Fuel is a great restaurant that has recently started serving dinner. With a organic and locally focused menu, their food is fresh and delicious. Fuel is located in the heart of Wilmette, but has a city flair. One of Chicago's top chef's Stephen Ross, recently joined Fuel and has taken their offerings to a new level.
