Chicago is one of the most vibrant, interesting cities in contemporary America. One thing that makes that so is the stunning array of culinary offerings that one can find in the city. For instance, Chicago serves up some of the better breakfasts in the entire Midwest. Here are some of the best breakfasts you'll find in the metropolitan area:

-Oak Tree Restaurant-

900 N Michigan Ave
Chicago, IL 60611-1542
Phone: (312) 751-1988

The Oak Tree Restaurant opens at 7:30 am every day, right on the dot. Although the breakfast is relatively upscale, and the fare definitely tends to be a bit on the fancier side of things, everything is absolutely delicious. Also, it's worth noting that, while the food does tend to be upscale, and the dcor is obviously expensively furnished, the prices don't follow suit. So, if you're looking for a nicer, more refined sort of establishment, look no further than the Oak Tree Restaurant.

-Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen-

1141 S Jefferson St
Chicago, IL 60607-4425
Phone: (312) 939-2855

On the opposite side of the formality scale from the Oak Tree Restaurant, you'll find Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen. This Chicago establishment, which opens daily at 5:00 am, but is closed entirely on Sundays, serves up traditional deli-style breakfasts that are enormous and well worth the lack of dcor. Everything is amazingly reasonable in terms of price. Also, if you like corned beef, you have to try their corned beef hash. It's one of the best you'll ever taste.

-Walker Bros Original Pancake House-

153 Green Bay Rd
Wilmette, IL 60091-3303
Phone: (847) 251-6000

The Walker Bros Original Pancake House opens every day of the week at 6:30 am and serves up some of the best breakfast food in the nation, and that's all that they serve, all day long. The food is inexpensive, classical in theme, and utterly delicious. This place serves the best apple pancakes I've ever tasted, and also serves some wonderful egg dishes and anything else you can think of in terms of classical, American breakfast fare. Likewise, the ambiance is remarkable and is comprised of a sort of hand-woven, down-home Americana theme. A word to the wise, though: This place is tremendously busy at breakfast time, so you might consider coming later in the day to enjoy breakfast for lunch or dinner.

-Letizia's Natural Bakery-

2144 W Division St
Chicago, IL 60622
Phone: (773) 342-1011

Chicago's Letizia's Natural Bakery is a hip,
