The Chicago Diner

VEGAN

When the owner’s grandparents arrived from the Old World, they brought with them a lifetime of prized, traditional recipes. Armed with these family secrets and a desire to provide authentic Jewish meals, they established The Bagel in 1950 as a premier ethnic eatery. Since opening, the restaurant has moved twice, but the owners of The Bagel are proud to carry on their family heritage in Lakeview East. The Bagel offers traditional Jewish dishes, fresh bagels, catering packages, special holiday menus, and more!

Winner of the Chicago Reader’s Best of Chicago Readers’ Choice award for 10 years running, The Chicago Diner has spent nearly 40 perfecting vegan versions of comfort-food classics such as the famous Radical Reuben, award-winning shakes, and indulgent desserts like Cocoa Mousse Layer Cake and signature cheesecakes. Brunch is served daily until 3PM and includes a spin on classics like Biscuits and Gravy, Tall-Stack Pancakes, Cinnamon Roll French Toast, Chilaquiles, and Monte Cristo platters to pair with your Mimosa or Bloody Mary.
