Benedicts Eggs & More

An old house.  A tree growing up through the middle of the place...and eggs benedict that won't quit.  A great selection of fritta's, omelets, sandwiches and try this...fresh squeezed pomagranate OJ.   Good bloody marys, too.

 

Diamond Jims

Really good food.  Casual dining, an antique bar and an outside patio.  Better than bar food -- burgers, pastas, fish fry, ribs and a monthly wine dinner.

Francesca's Campagna
127 N. Main St.
847-884-7099

Francesca's Campagna is Dundee's casually sophisticated trattoria that features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome.   The design features a rolled-mesh ceiling, warm woods, colorful slate and geometric light fixtures. Striking black and white photographs of rural Italian life by Paul Elledge line the walls to create a comfortable, decidedly urban setting.

Lavender Café and Java Bar
100 N. River St.
847- 428-4800

An awesome theme and a large selection of food.

There are puzzles everywhere in the cafe. Not just the jigsaw variety, but, sudoku, crosswords, riddles, etc. It's a cool place to sit for a cup of coffee and a puzzle.
 

 

 

Rosie O'hares Public House
702 Water St.
847-426-1116

A genuine Irish Pub in an 1870's building overlooking the beautiful Fox River.  This is Historic Dundee's pub.  Warm and inviting, great food, good conversation...and Cold Guiness. This is the real deal.  No kidding!

 

 

The Village Squire
125 Washington St.

O.K, here is the best gyros, bbq and burgers around.  Even an outdoor patio in the summer.  Entertainment?  Live every night.  Happenings in Historic Dundee.
