While many delicious restaurants scattered across Illinois provide an exceptional dining experience, none compare to the excellence of the eatery that we're going to spotlight in this article.

According to a list compiled by Cheapism, Alinea is the best bucket list restaurant in all of Illinois. The outlet praised Alinea for its tasting courses and artistic presentation among other desirable qualities.
Here's what Cheapism had to say about the best bucket list restaurant in the entire state:
"Alinea has honors in spades: It's a three-star Michelin restaurant and AAA Five Diamond Award winner, and was named the most outstanding restaurant in the United States by the James Beard Foundation in 2016. Hidden behind its unassuming Lincoln Park façade are elaborate molecular gastronomy tasting courses that reviewers call inventive, artistic, and even theatrical."
