The Restaurant

Elske, meaning "love" in Danish, is a modern American restaurant in Chicago's West Loop, the brainchild of husband-and-wife chef team David and Anna Posey. Drawing inspiration from their time at Paul Kahan's restaurants and travels in Scandinavia, the chefs present a menu that balances contemporary and classic techniques, emphasizing local and seasonal ingredients. The restaurant has maintained one Michelin star since 2017. The dining room extends to a marvelous patio, creating an airy and welcoming space. Guests can choose between a tasting menu and à  la carte options, both reflecting a respect for the seasons and a commitment to originality without sacrificing flavor. With its focus on simplistic fare and energetic hospitality, Elske offers a dining experience that feels at home in both Chicago and Copenhagen.
