Marisol

A super cute and tasty brunch place. We ordered the breakfast burrito (good but small), cilbir (very delicious), Lomo scramble (also really good), and the French toast (which was practically cake and I was okay with it). The beignets were also super tasty and sweet. Highly recommend.

Detour away from the art long enough to order a latte and salad from this perfect museum bistro. Ideal for resting your feet and people watching, the menu is fresh and the espresso is good. Just what you need after a full day at the art museum!

Recently spent a day at the MCA as it is free for Illinois residents on Tuesdays. Made sure to have lunch at the newly reopened Marisol. It is located at the basement level with a sleek and modern design. There is a cafe along side of it as well. I would love to go back to try a latte as I am a lover of crafty baristas. Nonetheless, the experience at Marisol was spectacular. Andres, my server was a delight and very helpful with his suggestions. The Asparagus Panzanella and Salmon Tartine showcased fresh and vibrant ingredients. Everything was quite unique and the flavors were exquisitely balanced. The bread was of great quality and the chickpea side dish was sweet in all the right places. My friend and I shared two dishes and we were pleasantly full. I would love to go back for dinner. Wine list has great options; it features more of an Old World approach. The sparkling Gruner Veltliner was just delicious and went with lunch quite nicely. Soo glad Marisol is back!

Great place for brunch if you don't wanna wait for a table. The cilbir (Turkish poached eggs) are worth the trip. And I've also never gone wrong with a pastry of the day.

Highly recommend the hummus and the chickpea side. Otherwise, the rest was good but not exceptional. The meal was well balanced overall.

Enjoyed their brunch menu. The lavender granola was simple but great. The sunflower hummus was fantastic and a must-try. The burrata toast was not a favorite — the burrata was not as creamy and there wasn’t enough acidity to cut the richness. The çılbır (pictured) was definitely a highlight, although I didn’t care for the sunchokes — a personal preference. Lastly, the beignets were a delightful way to end the meal. Lattes were great too.

I had the Marisol Salad with chicken on the side. The chicken was completely dry and they charged me $7 for the chicken. The lettuce was soggy and was starting to rot. It was very overpriced for what you got.

lovely service and environment! i had the turkish eggs and it was DIVINE. well balanced with chorizo and kale. 10/10 would order again
