Allez Cafe

Super GemBucktown · Cafe / French-influenced Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2239 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Allez Cafe runs on two different clocks: by day it's an elevated coffee-and-pastry cafe in Bucktown, and by night the same room turns into a special-event dining destination with tasting-menu nights — the kind of split personality that makes sense once you learn owner Jason Melamed also runs Ambrosia Foods, an upscale corporate catering company, and staffed the kitchen with cooks who've spent a decade-plus in Michelin-starred kitchens in Chicago, LA, and Paris.

The breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, gouda, hash brown, ramp aioli, jalapeno jam) named Chowhound's best breakfast sandwich in Illinois

The daytime draw is a breakfast sandwich — bacon, egg, gouda, and a hash brown, finished with ramp aioli and jalapeno jam — that Chowhound named the best breakfast sandwich in all of Illinois.

A second location has since opened on Kedzie Boulevard, but the original Western Avenue spot is still the one earning the statewide recognition.
