Boulevard Bistro

If you happen to be in Bucktown and are a chronic egg-eater or enjoy glorified dessert for breakfast in the form of sugary, loaded french toast, check out Boulevard Bistro. The menu has the typical diner-related cast of characters like eggs benedicts and club sandwiches, and all are solid. We also like their rotating soups, like chicken tortilla or cabbage with chunky savory meatballs. The triangle-shaped bar and surrounding booths fill up quickly during weekend brunch, but swing by on weekdays for easier pancake access.
