"This is the original food hall, and it’s not as new and nice as the other spots—it’s a little claustrophobic and confusing to navigate. But it has places we like inside, like Aloha Poke and Saigon Sisters." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"A popular place to grab lunch, the French Market is open daily and has a large list of local vendors selling food, flowers and gifts. Black Dog gelato is one of my favorite vendors! Make sure to stop for a sample of the locally made sweet cream." - Linsey Rosen
"Diners are spoiled for choice at the Chicago French Market, where more than 20 vendors offer food from around the globe including sushi, empanadas, crepes and biscuits. Grab a cold brew or a cold beer and stroll around crafting the perfect meal, leaving room for banana pudding or macarons for dessert. The market also sells groceries so a meal out can double as a shopping trip." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"French Market, West Loop Fulton Market. A popular place to grab lunch, the French Market is open daily and has a large list of local vendors selling food, flowers and gifts. Black Dog gelato is one of my favorite vendors! Make sure to stop for a sample of the locally made sweet cream."
"Chicagoans don’t need to be hangry during lunchtime. Not when they can catch this food truck rolling through the streets. Instead of a traditional roll, Happy Lobster loads sizable hunks of Maine crustacean onto a burger bun. For an extra kick, get the “Angry Lobster” with giardineira and spicy mayo. Click here for the truck’s schedule and to preorder. Happy Lobster is also a vendor at the Chicago French Market." - Jeffy Mai
