Chicago Top 25 Restaurants: January 2015
/The Chicago Top 25 list is not an easy list to break into. Again, this month no new restaurants make their debut.
RPM Steak returns this month again as the victor, with a high social score of 181.57. While, Sunda climbs one rank to No. 2. Rounding out the top three is last month's No. 6 restaurant, Little Goat Diner, a gourmet diner that takes classic comfort food dishes to a new level.
Even though the list features all Top 25 veterans, there were some notable shifts within the ranks– including BellyQ launching from No. 19 to No. 6. And after a few months of being in the top five, Nico Osteria drops to No. 10 this January.
Will any new restaurants claw their way onto the list next month? We will just have to see!
