Crispy, golden and exactly what you came for.

Our Fish & Chips pairs tempura-battered Icelandic cod with rainbow slaw, remoulade, charred lemon and fries. A Dearborn classic for good reason.

Thursday morning plans: Daley Plaza Farmers Market, then lunch at The Dearborn. 🥬🍅 Just across the street, the market is one of our favorite places to see what’s fresh, shop local and find a little inspiration for the kitchen. You might even spot Chef doing the same.

Catch the market every Thursday morning through the end of October, then meet us across the street for lunch.
