Easter is one of the biggest brunch occasions of the year, but also a time for hearty dinners centering on roast lamb and honey-baked ham, and baskets filled with sweet treats. Celebrations at Chicago restaurants run the gamut, featuring decadent buffets, egg decorating, a traditional midnight feast and a drag show. Whether you’re seeking a meal where the kids can meet the Easter Bunny or looking for someone else to cook the food for your at-home gathering, these 70 restaurants are providing all the goodies.
All events take place Sunday unless otherwise specified. Be sure to plan ahead, as many spots will book up or have cut-offs on their to-go orders.
