The Bongo Room Chicago - Great Brunch Spot!
What a brunch! They offer a great breakfast for early risers with a sweet tooth! I’m talking white chocolate pancakes with fresh berries and vanilla sauce. Yum! There’s also a great Chocolate French Toast with a brulee sauce. They’re basically known for their sweet breakfast creations. But I’ve also had their Tenderloin and Portobello sandwich with basil pesto for lunch, and that was delicious too!
It’s a great place to go for lunch if you’re by yourself. You can just grab a seat at the counter and chill up there. They have an extremely friendly staff, and the restaurant is very warm and inviting. I’ll definitely be back for more! But it’s good to note that the place does get really busy on the weekends, so expect to wait a little bit for a table. It’s totally worth it though!
