Native Foods

Native Foods Native Foods, a vegetarian and vegan restaurant located in East Harper Court, has announced its permanent closure. Despite the dedication and effort of its team, shifting dynamics in downtown Chicago led to a significant reduction in foot traffic, which ultimately impacted the viability of the location. Since becoming employee-owned in November 2023, Native Foods celebrated milestones and engaged with both vegan and non-vegan communities through various events. While this specific location will no longer operate, patrons are encouraged to visit other Chicago locations in Wicker Park, Loop, and Lakeview that continue to uphold the same mission of serving delicious plant-based cuisine.
