Bongo Room - Chicago, IL

Bongo Room (1152 S Wabash Avenue) is one of my favorite South Loop breakfast/brunch places. They have an interesting and changing menu although I often opt for the sweeter and richer creations offered. This time I had Chocolate Tower French Toast (half order) and a side of turkey sausage. Other tempting items include Banana Peanut Butter Chip Pancakes, White Chocolate & Caramel Covered Pretzel Pancakes, Red Corn & Fresh Cranberry Flapjacks, Pumpkin-Carrot Pancakes, Pear Tarte-Tartin Hotcakes, Smoked Salmon Benedict, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Burrito, and more!

Chocolate Tower French Toast
bittersweet chocolate chunk bread stuffed with maple mascarpone,
banana creme brulee sauce, bananas & shaved chocolate

The restaurant is on the southeast corner of the block with windows on two sides letting in plenty of natural light. The service is friendly and quick and the decor is simple and colorful.
