Best Bottomless Mimosas For Brunch In Chicago

Bottomless mimosa brunches don't exist as they once did, for one simple reason: Illinois (among other states) doesn't allow "low-price, high-volume drink specials." But fortunately for brunch lovers and mimosa aficionados, there are exceptions. For starters, if there's a time limit on the "special" then you can still refill your glass as much as you'd like while you're dining on some delicious brunch fare. Here are five places that have their own spin on the bottomless mimosa special.

Chicago Q Restaurant
1160 N. Dearborn St.
Chicago, IL 60610
(312) 642-1160

It's all about Southern barbecue in this Near North restaurant. During dinner, these classic BBQ dishes go well with the restaurant's bourbon offerings, but come brunch time, be sure to grab the Mimosa Special for $20. This special deal includes a full bottle of champagne as well as a carafe of orange juice so you can pour your own mimosas. Those mimosas are a perfect complement to the southern-inspired dishes, such as the eggs benedict flight, sweet potato hash and more.

Taverna 750
750 W. Cornelia Ave.
Chicago, IL 60657
(773) 904-7466

This upscale Lakeview Italian restaurant has quite the special menu, and not just because it features gourmet entrees (think duck bacon, among other tasty ingredients). During brunch, grab their mimosa and martini brunch package. No matter which package you pick, you'll get served as many mimosas as you can drink before the entree is served.

Bistronomic
840 N. Wabash Ave.
Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 944-8400
www.bistronomic.net

What goes well with classic French bistro brunch dishes from Chef Martial Noguier? Bottomless mimosas, of course! Whether you grab savory crepes, or a quiche lorraine -- just two of many options -- you can also nab the bottomless special during both Saturday and Sunday brunch hours (from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) at the reasonable price of $15 per person. With the attentive servers at this Near North restaurant, your glass will never be empty, although just be aware that there is an hour and a half limit.

For a low key experience with your mimosas, look no further than the Lakeview neighborhood pub. Brunch is available all day, both Saturday and Sunday, and all brunch entrees are $6.95. Enjoy your pancakes, egg skillets, and much more, with their mimosa special. This special includes two bottles of champagne for your mimosas; and it's just $22.95 and available when you order a dish off the brunch menu.

The internationally-influenced menu may change frequently at this Roscoe Village restaurant, but the mimosas will always be available come brunch time. And they'll always be delicious.
