My fiancé and I have been here a handful of times, and have great experiences each time we visit. This occasion, we ordered the Half Duck, which was absolutely spectacular! I will be thinking about that dish for a long time.

Wow. The most incredible squid ink chitarra!! Such a great atmosphere with super friendly staff. Highly recommend. Our plates were empty without a morsel left. Also recommend the Penicillin mixed drink. Definitely put this on your Chicago bingo card.

SO GOOD. Everything we ate was amazing (see pics). Flavorful, tender pork, went well with the mushroom three ways dish. Went in on a busy Saturday night and the place was packed. Highly recommend getting a reservation or else you might not get a table. Def going back.

“Delicious and satisfying lunch.”

Delicious and satisfying lunch! We started with shared appetizers of pig ears and bone marrow served with toasted bread. For the main courses, my friend had a duck accompanied by three buns to stuff the meat into, while I opted for the aged pork chop, which came with small potatoes. The portions were generous and satisfying. The service was excellent, and I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time for earlier in the day.

“Been to the old location many many times..”

Been to the old location many many times... but first time visiting the new location... it has been 6 years... lol. Had my favorite bone marrow... the portion was huge... it was very rich and delicious so a glass of bubbly was a must. Probably be back again this week before heading home.

“Overall, a great dining experience at The Purple Pig.”

Overall, a great dining experience at The Purple Pig. The highlight for me was the Bone Marrow. The accompanying sauce was perfect—it had a lovely slight acidity that balanced out the richness and greasiness of the marrow beautifully. However, I’m giving it 4 stars because the pork dish I ordered was served quite rare. While I appreciate the quality of the meat, it was a bit too underdone/pink for my personal preference. For a meal at this price point, I would have preferred a bit more consistency in the cooking. That being said, the food is undeniably creative and delicious. Just be sure to specify your preferred doneness if you're sensitive to rare pork!

“Blown away by the Purple Pig.”

Blown away by the Purple Pig. Worth its multiple Michelin stars. Bonus, learned all about Michelin star restaurants! We sat right at the counter overlooking the kitchen and listening to the chefs cook on the line, so it was like dinner and a (food network) show! They take exceptional care of every dish and every part of the experience is crafted by with excellence, from ordering to delivery. It was fun to watch the executive chef watch over and call some shots. Our drinks were the best we had all trip. The purple one was especially notable. Each piece of our meal, the drinks, the goat cheese plate, and the hand made pasta was absolutely outstanding. We wanted to order everything off the menu by the time it was finished. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and patient, she really helped us when ordering. Overall, I’d go to the Purple Pig every single day if I had the option. So amazing.

Enjoyed a very delicious lunch of some very creative dishes. The menu emphasizes sharing dishes like tapas. We ordered from the shareable starters which consisted of the Whipped Ricotta, Mushroom Trio, Salted Beets, and the soup special -- Sweet Potato Soup. The soup was outstanding!!! The other dishes were very flavorful, satisfying and enjoyable to our palettes. The atmosphere and vibe was relaxing and our server was helpful and informative. Highly recommend you visit this deliciously creative place.

“The setting is modern, cozy, stylish, and casually elegant all at once — a perfect balance.”

The setting is modern, cozy, stylish, and casually elegant all at once — a perfect balance. But let’s talk about what really matters: the food. I started with the smoked pork tongue, and it was amazing — light, flavorful, and so good I could’ve had another plate. For the main course, I went with the half duck. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside; Sooo goooood To finish, I had the apple cobbler for dessert — delicious. Big shoutout to my Latino friends who happily took care of me at the bar. Great service, great vibe. =)
