Welcome to Allium, a distinguished dining spot located in the heart of Chicago's historic Four Seasons Hotel. Renowned for its innovative approach to American cuisine, Allium transforms local ingredients into extraordinarily refined dishes that delight the palate. This restaurant not only offers a feast for the taste buds but also provides a luxurious atmosphere with stunning views of Michigan Avenue and Chicago’s picturesque skyline.

Allium is celebrated for its unique menu items, including the famous "Chicago-style" hot dog, reimagined with gourmet ingredients like truffle mustard and pickled vegetables. The restaurant's commitment to local sourcing is evident as 80% of its ingredients come from within a 100-mile radius, supporting sustainable agricultural practices. Additionally, Allium boasts an impressive wine list featuring over 200 selections, carefully curated to complement their culinary creations.

Since its opening in 2012, Allium has quickly become a culinary landmark in Chicago. Located within the Four Seasons Hotel, which itself opened in 1989, Allium replaced the former iconic restaurant, Seasons. The transition marked a shift towards a more modern and locally focused dining experience. The name 'Allium'—Latin for garlic—hints at the restaurant's emphasis on basic yet essential ingredients, transforming them into sophisticated dishes.

For those looking to truly experience Allium’s culinary delights, booking the Chef’s Table is a must. This exclusive seating area offers guests a personalized menu crafted by the chef based on their preferences and seasonal availability. Insider tip: visit during late spring or early summer to enjoy the freshest local produce incorporated into your meal.

Imagine dining under a piece of history—Allium features a chandelier made from the crystal decanters collected from various Illinois estate sales over decades. Each decanter in this stunning installation has its own story dating back up to 100 years, adding an element of historical elegance to your dining experience.

After enjoying your meal at Allium, take a stroll along Michigan Avenue, also known as The Magnificent Mile, where you can explore world-class shopping and architectural marvels like the historic Water Tower. Just a short walk away is Millennium Park where you can see famous art installations such as Cloud Gate (also known as "The Bean") and attend seasonal concerts and events.
