Great flavours, perfectly executed. Great wine and beverage list. Recommend the pickles, duck noodle ragut and the horseradish prawns. Top class service. Informal dining yet a spectacular experience.

It is simply one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in my life. I sat at the bar with three other friends, had a fantastic meal with awesome drinks, and it ended up being a lot less than what we were expecting. Every single dish was brought out by the chef, which gave us a chance to ask about the food and suggestions for pairings, which were also spot on. This is one of those places that I’ll use when someone wants to know what the Chicago food scene is like, as they are a perfect example of it. Eclectic, delicious, consistent and brought to you by normal people that had to work really hard to get there. Lots of respect and love for Parachute. Go try it!
I really love the small plate menus that restaurants like Parachute and Girl and the Goat have because it lets you try things across the menu without feeling like you’re stuck with one entree that you might not like. That being said I was suprised when I heard that a place like this was opening in Avondale. I used to live across the street and remember when a few different places occupied this spot including a Panderia.The space inside is super cozy. There are not a lot of tables so there is going to be a wait unless you get reservations. Our waiter was super helpful in terms of navigating the menu as well. Food was on point throughout the meal. Started with Bing bread, highly recommended. After that the wife and I just started our menu draft, taking turns picking whatever we though sounded good. She picked the crispy sesame leaves and I came back with the spicy lamb sofrito. Then we got the steak and some kind of sunchoke dish. I really enjoyed this place because all the flavors were different and unique. These are not things you’re going to find anywhere else in the city. There is a lot of hype surrounding this place recently and it is definitely justified. euroatheart.com
Korean American delights. Parachute presents a variety of Korean-inspired foods with some interesting accents. It is a great place to share dishes. The starters include Bing bread (containing potatoes), a pickle variety, fried sesame leaves and gado gado salad. The mains include hot pots, char siu pork neck (with deep fried thin artichokes and shitake mushroom powder dusting), squid ink pasta, and mandu (dumplings containing tofu with a ricotta texture). All the food was very tasty, with flavors and textures melding nicely. My only concern is that some of the dishes were awkward to serve, and there was no offer to replace plates or silverware until we asked. The wine list has 3 price points, with several options available by the glass or 25 cl carafe. A great spot in an out-of-the way neighborhood.
