The questions most frequently asked by guests, in awe…

“What is this place?” “What do you do here??” “Am I in a Nancy Meyers Film??”

The Kismet Table is a beautiful commercial space in Chicago’s Lincoln Park. A former cookbook shop, it has an incredible Fisher & Paykel show kitchen, beautiful, warm dining space, and I am just in love with it. We offer an eclectic weekly menu of to-go provisions, and have small-batch gourmet retail & housewares- both made in-house and by other independent crafters from around the world. Most notably, we host bespoke dinner and cocktail parties for private groups. It is an Atelier...a workshop- to dream, create, experiment and, my personal favorite, host you and yours.
