The restaurant Proxi in Chicago is as energetic, fun and tasty as it is beautiful. The beautiful interior was designed by Meyer Davis, with barrel-vaulted ceiling, colorful patterned floor tiles, floor to ceiling windows, antique mirrors and leather-quilted curvy banquettes. The restaurant is located in a former printing press and it’s devided into three spaces in a lofty-like space.
Chef Andrew Zimmerman’s varied menu mixes influences from Asia, Mexico, Mediterranean and others and makes the result taste perfectly delicious. I also enjoyed the cocktails when we visited it a year ago. Cocktails with intriguing names as Lapsang souchang, and beet-infused Tequila, will make you want to try as many cocktails as you can. Proxi only opens for dinner and brunch.
