avec River North

Taking over the former home of Pacific Standard Time, the River North outpost of Avec brings the Mediterranean menu of the longtime Randolph Street favorite to a new setting. You'll find most of the classic dishes on the menu, including chorizo-stuffed, bacon-wrapped dates; slow-roasted pork shoulder and carefully-curated cheese plates. And if you're craving carbs, Avec River North has added some pasta to its offerings, such as pappardelle with mushroom bolognese and rigatoni pasta with smoked short ribs. It more of what you already liked in some spiffy new digs.
