The Purple Pig Restaurant

November 9, 2025

This was one of our most exceptional dining experiences in Chicago⭐️. The food, service, and atmosphere were exemplary. The filet mignon was the best I have ever had, rich in flavor with purple mashed potato and mushrooms perfectly prepared. The risotto was superb full of flavors, and the apple cobbler was exceptional. Compliments to Chef Efrain and his team for their outstanding work. We will certainly return; this restaurant fully merits its reputation.

We had lunch at The Purple Pig for my husband’s birthday, and it did not disappoint. Our server, Camilo, was personable, attentive, and truly made the experience unforgettable. We shared the Spanish Octopus, which was perfectly cooked and great for two, and the half duck, glazed with orange juice and brown sugar, which was absolutely delicious (and generous enough for leftovers). The restaurant was packed and a bit loud around 1:45 pm, but the incredible food and exceptional service more than made up for it. Conveniently located near where the Architecture Boat Tour departs, this spot is a must-visit in Chicago. Highly recommend!

What a gem!! I don’t even eat pork but everything here was outstanding! The tuna tartar, octopus, duck, and even the whipped feta with bread were all cooked with such perfection. Each one of my taste buds was singing in delight. The chefs clearly had perfected every tiny aspect of every dish from presentation and balance of all flavors that exist. Maybe the best food I’ve had in Chicago!! Exceptional service too!! What a treat!

You gotta love pig...I really enjoyed everything about The Purple Pig. The food was fantastic, service was friendly and attentive, I ordered the Milk Braised Pork Shoulder with Mashed Potatoes it was phenomenal fork tender pork and the mashed potatoes were so silky amazing, Charred Cauliflower side dish. All the dishes were tasty and each dish had a great combination of flavors. The dessert was just amazing... And I thought the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food and location. If you are a Girl&The Goat fan, you will love The Purple Pig they have very similar concept. Both Amazing! 100% recommend!

Awesome dinner here, was able to get seats at the bar last minute. We ordered a variety of dishes, starting with roasted bone marrow - so delicious and full of flavor, the herbs, bacon jam and onions made it perfect. Then we had mushrooms 3 ways, good but not too much to say. The grilled shrimp was great, slight crisp char and delicious, and the best was the Spanish Octopus, which was grilled perfectly, tender and flavorful, seasoned beautifully, it was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here.
