Carnivale

An experience at Chicago's very own Carnivale is a taste of South American fusion cuisine. The eclectic menu, the brainchild of chef Mark Mendez, includes dishes from Brazil, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Colombia. The pork shoulder with Puerto Rican rice and fried plantains is universally considered one of the menu's highlights. Not only does Carnivale have a full bar, but the awe-inspiring décor is sure to delight. The 35 foot high drapes and a second story wine wall backlit with vibrant colors help to create an unforgettable atmosphere.
