According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best historic restaurant in Illinois is The Berghoff located in Chicago.
Here is what LoveFood had to say about the best historic restaurant in the entire state:
"The Berghoff has been an institution in Chicago for well over 120 years. It all started when German immigrant Herman Berghoff set up a beer stand at Chicago’s World Fair in 1893. A permanent beer-focused place followed in 1898, before Prohibition hit and the onus shifted to authentic German food. The restaurant reopened its bar in the 1930s after Prohibition, receiving Chicago’s very first liqor license. Now customers come in for the beer, schnitzel, brats and potato pancakes, and the welcoming atmosphere."
