I used to work on Michigan Ave, and for a long time this place had been on my list of places to try. I brought my husband here as we were in the area and I finally said let’s give it a try. We were able to be seated right away without a reservation, but I would recommend getting a reservation regardless. Our service, I forgot his name, was amazing, just overall personable and attentive. The place was tucked inside an office building, so from outside it didn’t look like much, but inside there was plenty of seating. Dimly lit and gave off a nice vibe.
I was not sure about the food; I can be a bit picky sometimes with textures. I ordered the milk braised Berkshire shoulder and the beef tartar, while my husband got the pasta with beef ribs and beef marrow pasta and scallops. Everything can be described as simply amazing and delectable! The pork was fork tender and packed with flavor, and the pasta was savory. The beef tartare was packed with things I’ve never seen in a tartare, but when mixed, gave a wonderful explosion of flavor.
I honestly did not walk in with very high expectations of what to expect food-wise here, as most trendy places tend to fall flat. But honestly this place absolutely delivered. Wonderful place to go after work or to hang with friends.

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.

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.

Great experience. My bf had highly recommended this to me based on the last time he came here (when it was at the old location). Good service. Nice interior. The food was mostly all delicious. The beets appetizer was recommended by the server. I’m not really into beets but surprisingly this was super good. The beets were soft. Paired well with the cheese and peanut butter. Interesting combos that I wouldve never thought of but it works! The pork tongue was good too. Mushroom risotto was a great entrees! Filled with scallops and mushrooms. Delicious and simple. The pork shoulder was another recommendation by the server. It was good, but bf and I enjoyed the mushroom risotto more. The pork shoulder was a bit heavy and the sauce was a bit salty for our personal taste. Saw the table next to us get apple cobbler and it looked so good that we had to get one also. It was so delicious! The pipping hot apple cobbler with the melty cinnamon ice cream. Great meal.

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.

Our entire experience was amazing at The Purple Pig. Our food was delicious and our server was top notch. I highly recommend the Roasted Bone Marrow smear, Spanish Octopus, Pork Belly and Broccoli. The flavors of the dishes each boasts a true culinary delight. This is my new favorite restaurant!

What a gem!! I don’t even eat pork but everything here was outstanding! The tuna tartar, octopus, duck, and even the whipped feta with bread were all cooked with such perfection. Each one of my taste buds was singing in delight. The chefs clearly had perfected every tiny aspect of every dish from presentation and balance of all flavors that exist. Maybe the best food I’ve had in Chicago!! Exceptional service too!! What a treat!

Overall a very good place. Service was attentive and overall excellent. Most dishes were hits with a few misses (nothing was bad).
Food
Tuna – excellent. Truffle kicked it up.
Duck croquettes – very good.
Whipped feta- so good. Sweet, salty, crunchy.
Octopus- excellent. Cooked tender then grilled.
Gnocchi with pork- texture very tender. Sauce was good, very rustic. Though it was good I was hoping for spectacular and something I can’t make at home.
Smoked pork chop- maybe the most disappointing. It was fine, but we specified medium/ medium rare and it came medium plus. Apple cider sauce was good but wasn’t spectacular. Crackling was a nice touch. It wasn’t that it was bad, I just expected more for $48.

You gotta love pig…I really enjoyed everything about The Purple Pig. The food was fantastic, service was friendly and attentive, I ordered the Milk Braised Pork Shoulder with Mashed Potatoes it was phenomenal fork tender pork and the mashed potatoes were so silky amazing, Charred Cauliflower side dish. All the dishes were tasty and each dish had a great combination of flavors. The dessert was just amazing… And I thought the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food and location. If you are a Girl&The Goat fan, you will love The Purple Pig they have very similar concept. Both Amazing!
100% recommend!
