Cafe Selmarie

This neighborhood standby has stood in the center of Lincoln Square for 23 delicious years. A beloved bakery/restaurant with a popular Sunday brunch and an ever-changing menu, it's known for its homey atmosphere, great coffee and seasonal specials like blackberry griddle cakes. Dinner is served too, with comfort food like mac-n-cheese (served with leeks, a four-cheese gratin and fresh fruit) and free-range roasted chicken served with white corn polenta, roasted shallots and Italian parsley salad.
