Sepia

Super GemWest Loop · American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 123 N Jefferson St, Chicago, IL 60661

Sepia occupies a former 19th-century print shop on Jefferson Street — exposed brick, original floors, and custom ink-dark tile made specifically for the restaurant from a pattern the owner designed himself.

$$$$
One Michelin star and consistently cited as the best value among Chicago's starred restaurants — ambitious cooking without the ceremony some tasting menus insist on.

That owner is Emmanuel Nony, a French transplant who built NoMi inside the Park Hyatt before opening this one, and the kitchen has run under executive chef Andrew Zimmerman (also by way of NoMi) since 2009. The 8-course tasting menu with wine pairings leans into special-occasion territory hard enough that it's become a go-to spot for wedding tastings specifically, not just anniversary dinners.

Closed Sundays; dinner service runs the rest of the week.
