Amaru Chicago

Amaru sits on West North Avenue. It is a twenty-five-minute walk from North Avenue Beach.

The kitchen serves a South American and Asian fusion menu. While the room runs smart and elegant, the restaurant is a more deliberate choice than the casual spots closer to Lincoln Park. It avoids the university-adjacent crush, making it a better destination if you prefer a quieter tempo. You choose this table for the contrast between its precise cooking and the frantic pace of the surrounding city.
