“Absolutely 100 % real” so says the slogan splattered across the (organic) T-shirt worn by the waiters at this new, environmentally conscious, ergonomically friendly, eatery on Division. And these are not just empty words. Chef Michael Altenberg (former co-owner of Campagnola in Evanston, and owner of Bistro Campagne in Lincoln Square) can boast with another great eating-place, that is the first organically certified restaurant in the Midwest. The design is sleek and funky with its bright orange plastic chairs and the food is fabulously fresh and earthy – specializing in flatbread, or the “more earthy brother of pizza,” as it is always the case with Chef Altenberg. Try the “flammkuchen” (caramelized onion, béchamel, caraway seed, slab bacon, cracked black pepper) and the sweet basil salad (the fresh-pulled mozzarella cheese is to die for!). The menu also offers a good list of wine and beer as well as creative twists on the classics such as grapefruit mojito. Eat & Drink Real!
