100% Plant-Based restaurant in Wicker Park. We have always had the core belief of being as good to ourselves (and the earth) as possible, but as we grow, we have always wanted to do more. With this desire, we decided to open Bloom Plant Based kitchen. Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy plant-based options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition. Therefore, our intention with Bloom is to focus on bringing flavorful, healthy, and affordable plant-based food to families while also being desirable and appealing to everyone regardless of their diet.

    Second time at Amaru and the food never disappoints. Even though our drinks came in way after our appetizers arrived, we enjoyed our time there. The sweet plantains were delicious and had to order them twice because they are the best botana. We ordered as well the branzino and the lomo boliviano which were pretty good. Definitely worth the wait.

    Great lunch! Pup had a good time too!! Perfect at mid day during the week. On top of great service, it was so nice to have an indoor/enclosed spacious spot to have lunch & be able to include furry friends out of the cold.

    Cocktails were good, food was mediocre. The crab dip lacked seasoning except excessive char (not browning) on top. The warm cookie was like a big Toll House, which went nicely with their egg nog variation. But it was a nice atmosphere and was otherwise a nice experience.
