One of my favorite weekend activities to do in Chicago is to try different brunch spots around town. But after I had my son, my brunch requirements changed.

Fab Review: Brunch at Bar Lupo

Fab Review: Brunch at Bar Lupo // Piedmont Pub Burger, Lupo Potatoes Bolognese, Fresh Burrata, and Brioche French Toast // Photo: @topchicagoeatsIf you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of River North, I recommend you walk past the touristy spots and head to Bar Lupo. Bar Lupo is an Italian pub that is upbeat and trendy. You won’t find traditional menu items as you would at old-school Italian spots. Here you’ll find snacks, pastas, and creative drinks with great music in a fun atmosphere.
