Edelweiss serves up some of the best authentic German food and beer in the Chicago area. Everyone enjoyed their meal! You Must try the sauerkraut croquettes appetizer. The beer pretzels are huge and delicious. Truly the best German food that we’ve had in a long time.

Excellent Czech/Boehmian food in a city that used to have so much of it and now has very little. It doesn’t look like much, but that doesn’t matter. Show up, take a risk, have a great meal you literally can’t have anywhere else in Chicago anymore. Spring for the herbal aperitif shot on tap and the Karlovarsky dumplings. Dont ask, just do it.
