Nacional 27

®

Modern Latin Restaurant, Ceviche Bar & Salsa Club

Take the sweeping universe of flavors, cooking styles, and ingredients from the 27 countries comprising Central and South America…put them in the capable hands of Chef Francisco Vilchez, whose menu has been called the best of its kind in America…add a Wine Spectator-award-winning wine list… and you still haven't adequately described this magical place.

To do that, you'll also need to mention the chic décor "with all the swank of a Ricky Ricardo nightclub," a master mixologist who combines fresh fruits, herbs, and exotic liquors into cocktails that lead to new worlds of delight, and myriad special treats, such as a five-course Chef's Tasting Menu, tapas nights, wine events, Latin jazz nights, and weekend dancing as late as 3 a.m. It's no wonder Nacional 27 has been named "Chicago's hottest Nuevo Latino restaurant."
