Jun 8, 2017 >> Eden’s Most Instagrammable Dish
Our new favorite West Loop haunt, EDEN, embodies all the feelings of Summer in one ridiculously chic restaurant. As an ode to the new season, we tapped into the Eden menu to bring you the perfect summer recipe, Ahi Tuna Crudo, courtesy of CHEF DEVON QUINN. And we love this rustic, airy restaurant so much, we made it the backdrop for the G&F Summer Fashion shoot, which celebrated, well, celebrations. Celebrating for celebration’s sake—because why not?
Eden opened its doors December 2016, featuring a refreshing farm-forward menu of new American fare with a Mediterranean twist. Fresh flavors are year-round at Eden as Chef Devon Quinn grows the freshest bounty in his 500-square foot greenhouse on site to sprinkle throughout his dishes and cocktails, taking hyperlocal to a whole new level. Rounding out Eden’s team are Pastry Chef Stefano Tulipano, Sommelier Arif Rahman, and Mixologist Alex Rydzewski, each procuring bites and sips symbiotic with Eden’s menu.
