Steamy bowls of pho, chicken tikka masala burritos, gourmet gelato popsicles and burgers piled high with produce—food halls offer options like these and much, much more. They are the perfect spot for families because they provide a break from meal monotony, offer something for everyone, and just might push the kids to try something new. We’ve gathered 15 of our favorite foodie spots that are totally worth a visit (or two!). See them all below.
Chicago French Market – Chicago, Il
Located in Chicago's West Loop, the French Market includes over 30 local food and artisan purveyors under one roof. If cheese is what your people crave then you should definitely swing by Pastoral to buy a favorite wedge or a made-to-order sandwich. Pastries can be found around every corner with the European specialties of Delightful Pastries + Café topping the indulgence list. Wood Fire Counter is a family favorite with their roasted chicken and NOLA mac and cheese.
Must try: mini donuts from Beaver's Coffee and Donuts
