Every documented restaurant listing we hold in Chicago sits on this page — 27 places, sortable by the filters that matter with an allergy: allergen documented, protocol documented, cuisine, price, neighbourhood and ownership. 24 publish an allergen menu; 7 document a dedicated facility, prep area or fryer.
Start from your allergen, not from a cuisine. The allergens with the deepest documentation in Chicago are Gluten (27), Milk (10), Soy (9); the thinnest is Shellfish (5 listings) — where coverage is thin, listings say what is missing and the prep card carries the questions.
Hub content last reviewed 2026-10-28.
Computed from the 27 listings on this page — our dataset, counted, not estimated.
Ranked by how much documentation the business itself publishes — the evidence we could check, not a judgement of the food or the kitchen.

★ = featured placement. Featured never changes a tier or a fact — see how we verify.
They are different evidence tiers. An allergen menu means the restaurant publishes which dishes contain which allergens. Protocol documentation goes further: a dedicated fryer or prep area, order flagging, staff training or a cross-contact statement in the restaurant's own material. Every listing shows its tier and the dated source behind it.
By listing count: River North (8), Lincoln Park (4), Fulton Market (3). Neighbourhoods with at least three listings get their own page with their own counts — start from the city page's Browse by neighbourhood list.
No — and no listing on this site will ever say that. We document what restaurants publish about their protocols, allergen by allergen, with sources and dates. Whether that is enough for your allergy is a decision for you and your medical professional, made with the restaurant's current practice confirmed directly.
How a restaurant gets on this page: its own allergen menu or protocol statement was found and dated, or it answered our protocol questionnaire. Listings with no documented protocol are labelled "Listed" and show the questions to ask instead of a claim.
