141 W Jackson Blvd
Chicago, IL 60604
Conveniently located in the North lobby of the Historic Chicago Board of Trade Building, Ceres Cafe is owned and operated by restaurateurs celebrating their fifth generation of restaurant ownership in Chicago. Dedicated, since 1967, to bringing the freshest ingredients possible to the financial district. This year, Ceres has teamed up with Rustic Road Farm in Elburn to grow organic produce for our famous soups, tossed to order salads, and daily specials. At Ceres and Cellars Market, our lower level food emporium, our recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. While our numbers are large, serving several thousand people a day, we still do things the old fashioned way, making dishes from scratch using the highest quality ingredients. According to one reviewer, Ceres Cafe Bar & Patio is the "best kept secret in the loop". Hefty cocktails, great bar snacks and plenty of people watching make this the place to be for after-work cocktails or a light supper before the train.

As most mentioned it's not about the food here, it's about the drinks and the social atmosphere. Drinks are made well and that alone gets a 5/5. They are stiff and not made for the faint of...
