A Taste of Romania in Chicago

Moshpix: Little Bucharest Bistro (3661 N. Elston Ave.) was a fixture in Chicago's culinary scene for more than 30 years when it closed its doors in 2004. Now it's back, and judging by early reports, even better than before. The restaurant showcases authentic Romanian fare meshed with contemporary American flavors. Chef Andre Christopher -- previously with Japonais, Pops for Champagne and the Grocery Bistro -- is the man behind the shared plate style menu. And if you're looking for a late bite, this is the place. It's open for dinner Sunday through Friday until 2 a.m. and Saturday until 3 a.m.
