Pinched on the River

Chicago Date Night Idea: Pinched on the River. @pinchedontheriver Mediterranean-inspired with a pinch of this, a pinch of that, and flavor from everywhere. Build-your-own bowls, stacked pita rolls, and my personal favorite the beignet board. It’s giving cute cafe vibes right on the water. Pinched on the River is located at: 📍 443 E Illinois St.

Mediterranean food is probably my favorite, and I recently tried this tasty spot along the river. All of the food was so flavorful and delicious. We had the falafel and hummus trio, salmon sandwich, build-your-own bowl, and finished with beignets and affogato for dessert. They have a heated patio for the cold weather, but I can’t wait to go back and enjoy the outdoor seating when the weather warms up!

A beautiful river front restaurant ft delicious falafel, beer, and mezze platters!

Kicking off our night at Pinched On The River with their delightful cocktails - Snowfall in Chicago and Chicago Star! Our taste buds danced with Mediterranean Wings and Mushroom Pesto Flatbread for appetizers, followed by a scrumptious rice bowl with salmon and a Grilled Chicken Breast sandwich for the main course. We saved room for dessert, indulging in their heavenly Sea Salt Caramel Cheesecake and Beignets! The ambience was just right for unwinding after a long day.

Pinched on the river is the perfect patio brunch spot in Chicago! Their Mediterranean bowls are amazing for a brunch and pair great with their pastries, coffee & matcha. They also have brunch cocktails & juices 😍🥐🍵🥙

This place is all about the view
