Rose Mary

Rose Mary ranks 6th in the list of best outdoor restaurants in Chicago. Rose Mary, located in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood's historic Fulton Market district, is Chef/Owner Joe Flamm's debut restaurant inspired by his Italian heritage and the bold, bright flavors of Croatian cuisine. The boisterous space, named after Flamm's grandmothers, Mary and Mary Rose, as well as the herb rosemary, which grows natively along the Italian and Croatian coastlines, serves a seasonal menu of rustic yet refined dishes that encapsulate what Flamm calls "Adriatic drinking food."

Top Chef winner Joe Flamm's Rose Mary, named after both of his grandmothers and combining elements of Italian and Croatian cooking, brings seasonal dishes to a cozy Fulton Market space lined with hanging plants. Flamm describes the menu as "Adriatic drinking food," with dishes like Gnocchi with beef cheek paticada (a wine-soaking process) and pork ribs with a cabbage and yogurt relish. The wine list emphasizes organic, biodynamic, and sustainably farmed options, while the cocktail menu features cocktails made with Eastern European spirits that are underutilized (at least on this side of the Atlantic).
