not your average grocery store. they have an excellent selection of gourmet and hard to find grocery items. we go there for lamb, and fresh fish, exotic fruits, and their enormous cheese selection. their deli counter has an excellent selection of prepared items too.

This outstanding market contains foodstuffs you will not find elsewhere in downtown Chicago. They have excellent cheeses and great baked goods too. Although the location (near Navy Pier) is not particularly convenient and parking can be difficult, it is well worth the trip.

PROS: great cheeses and baked goods
CONS: location

I am both blessed and cursed to live next door to Fox and Obel because it is the greatest food market I have ever been to but constantly temps me with its glorious offerings and staggeringly high prices. Visiting this grocery store is a like an escape to a boutiful oasis of the highest quality and most unique foods, yet the prices quickly jerk you back to reality. A mere walk through the store is enjoyable, thanks to the array of organic produce and the samples of bread, olive oil, cheese, and other concoctions. There is also a very nice cafe attached.

A great gourmet grocery store. They serve amazing food at their caf; exquisite food that is hard to find at some restaurants. Get that certain cut of steak from the butcher or the catch of the day from the seafood. With options like the finest aged cheeses, wines, and prepared appetizers or main courses for your next get together you are sure to find something that peaks your taste and empties your wallet.
