Alinea (Chicago)

Alinea is chef Grant Achatz’s visionary multi-Michelin-starred restaurant in Lincoln Park — one of the most celebrated dining experiences in the United States and a consistent fixture on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. The progressive tasting menu is a theatrical, multi-sensory journey through modern American cuisine, and the wine programme is equally ambitious, with Krug Champagne among the prestige pairings available. Whether drinking champagne before or during the 18-course tasting, Alinea represents the apex of Chicago’s extraordinary fine dining scene.
