Medi Kitchen & Cocktail is a Lebanese-inspired small-plates restaurant on Halsted where shareable mezze, kafta, and shakshouka meet a serious cocktail list in a dim, design-forward room. It reads like Lincoln Park’s Mediterranean lounge: part dinner destination, part bar for lingering over drinks and dips.
Must-Try Dishes: Falafel Benni, Kafta Kabob, Shakshouka

What makes it special: A cocktail-focused Mediterranean spot where Lebanese family recipes meet a moody, club-adjacent dining room.

When to visit: Weekend evenings after 7pm when the bar is full.
What to order: Falafel Benni, kafta kabob, shakshouka with warm pita.
Insider tip: Anchor your reservation near happy hour and start with a round of house cocktails at the bar before sitting down to eat.
