Permits Show Portillo’s Planning Dine-In Restaurant at 300 N. Michigan Avenue

The project would be the chain’s second Downtown site, its fourth in Chicago.

Overview

  • City building permits confirm plans to retrofit the ground-floor space for a dine-in location at 300 N. Michigan Ave.
  • The site lies just south of the Chicago River inside a 47-story mixed-use tower that includes a 280-room hotel developed by Sterling Bay and Magellan Development Group.
  • An opening date has not been announced, and Portillo’s did not respond to a request for comment.
  • The planned Michigan Avenue location would expand Portillo’s Downtown footprint to two restaurants and bring its city total to four.
  • Founded in 1963 in Villa Park, Portillo’s reports more than 70 restaurants across 10 states and is known for Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef, and signature desserts.
