The Purple Pig

“The food was fresh, and flavorful, as were the cocktails!”

Porcine Perfection on Michigan Ave! The Purple Pig never misses. Sitting right at the counter to watch the open kitchen action made for a fantastic dining experience. ​I kicked things off with the Duck Croquettes, which were crisp on the outside, rich on the inside, and paired beautifully with the provolone, apple, eggplant purée, and kimchi accents. For the main event, the Iberico Pork Tenderloin was executed flawlessly—cooked to a perfect medium, incredibly tender, and layered beautifully over oyster mushrooms, squash, spinach, and crispy pancetta in a rich jus. ​A glass of Italian Nebbiolo

Wow this is one of the best restaurants we ever been. If you are in Chicago Downtown you must have dinner at the Purple Pig. We ate a lot, we order some stuff but the Executive chef came to our place at the bar and we were talking and he offered more dishes on the house… and everything was AMAZING!! First we order Roasted Piquillo Peppers, they were really good, and not hot at all, so if you are not a mexican, don’t have to worry about how hot it was. Then we ordered Crispy Pig’s Ear, it was a combination of Kale, Pickled Peppers + Fried Egg… wow what a creative combination, and what a tast

Great experience. My bf had highly recommended this to me based on the last time he came here (when it was at the old location). Good service. Nice interior. The food was mostly all delicious. The beets appetizer was recommended by the server. I'm not really into beets but surprisingly this was super good. The beets were soft. Paired well with the cheese and peanut butter. Interesting combos that I wouldve never thought of but it works! The pork tongue was good too. Mushroom risotto was a great entrees! Filled with scallops and mushrooms. Delicious and simple. The pork shoulder was another rec

Over-hyped, over-priced, over-sauced. It's quality ingredients, but presents as an elevated experience. It's not, unfortunately. Advertises as small plates, but oversized for a true tasting experience. Dish composition is too complex without adding anything, and in some cases detracting (e.g., imberico ham with too much sauce and covering it; see photo). Roast duck was huge, and tasty, but oversized for a meat portion without any balance for freshness or texture. Service is efficient and friendly. Decor feels like Olive Garden equivalent. Is an energetic vibe.
