The restaurant scene in Illinois is ever-changing and locals are always rating which places they like best. Checking out these ratings gives locals and tourists alike ideas about which places to try, whether they’ve been around for a while or are relatively new. Recently, Yelp came out with its list of “America’s Top 100 Places To Eat In 2020,” and Illinois is home to three of these highest-rated restaurants. Scroll on to see which ones made the cut.
In business since 2010, this charming crepe shop is open for breakfast and lunch and serves both savory and sweet crepes along with coffee.

You'll also find excellent prices on the menu which includes empanadas and sandwiches. You can also get desserts like churros and paleta. It is open Tuesday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
In business since 2018, this fairly new restaurant has already made an impression on locals who love vegan and vegetarian options.
