This mushroom risotto from the Avondale restaurant Eden is packed full of herbal flavor, thanks to the many varieties of fresh herbs that Chef Devon Quinn grows for the restaurant in a nearby greenhouse. He might eventually grow the mushrooms himself, too: he told WTTW Food he wants to add a mushroom growing facility. Currently, he’s sourcing the mushrooms from Jacobson’s Farm in Antioch, Illinois.
Eden is featured for its appearance with Green City Market, Chicago’s famed nonprofit that is holding the first gathering of its 2023 Sustainable Supper Series pop-ups at Eden, the farm-to-table restaurant that relocated last year to Avondale.

Eden in Chicago has one of Chicago’s best new private dining rooms, according to Crain’s Chicago Business. Two different rooms offer different vibes. Selenite (seats 18) is a clean, bright, airy room with checkerboard-style tiles, a faux fireplace and brass kaleidoscope light fixture over the table. Slate (seats 22) offers a dark, sexy persona with a shadowy, foggy, forested theme on the walls.
Dinner service debuted this week at Eden in Avondale three months after the restaurant opened for breakfast and lunch. The restaurant morphs to full service in the evening, serving more composed dishes from the kitchen team of co-owner and chief culinary officer Devon Quinn and executive chef Tim Havidic.
