What people say

American restaurants are known for their delicious and hearty breakfast and brunch options, and Spoken Cafe on W Montrose Avenue in Chicago is no exception. This premier cafe in the heart of Ravenswood offers a unique twist to traditional American fare by incorporating Acadian Caju flavors into their dishes.

One of the standout items on their menu is Sido's Summer Salmon, which is an adapted meal from Sido & Will's weekly meals at home. This dish features steamed salmon packets with Atlantic Salmon, julienned carrots, shallot, zucchini, broccoli stalk, lemon & dill with fresh cucumber, red onion, caper, toasted sunflower seed, organic spring mix and creamy lemon yogurt dill sauce. It can be enjoyed as a salad or in a wrap.

Another must-try item is Mrs. Maisel's famous slow-cooked beer-braised brisket with horseradish aioli, carrot slaw and scrambled eggs on a Kaiser roll. This dish has been highly praised by customers and only 15 were left during one of their recent social media posts.

Spoken Cafe also sources local ingredients such as Farmer Jim's beautiful local veggies from Hardin Family Farms in Michigan. They even offer raw Chicagoland honey for sale.

Overall, Spoken Cafe offers a unique dining experience with delicious food options that are sure to satisfy any craving.
