Smyth (Chicago)

Smyth is Chicago’s three-Michelin-starred crown jewel — one of only a handful of three-star restaurants in the entire United States — run by chefs John Shields and Karen Urie Shields in the West Loop. The farm-to-table tasting menu celebrates the natural world with extraordinary precision and warmth, and the beverage programme is among the most thoughtfully curated in America, with a champagne selection that spans prestigious houses and grower producers chosen to pair with the seasonal menu. A dining experience of the very highest order.
