Schwa
Contemporary American · Chicago · Michelin One Star · Chef Michael Carlson
Schwa in Wicker Park is Chef Michael Carlson's Michelin-starred BYOB restaurant, a cult favorite known for its irreverent, no-frills approach to avant-garde cuisine. The intimate, chef-run restaurant has no front-of-house staff — Carlson and his team cook and serve boundary-pushing multi-course meals in a casual, punk-rock atmosphere.
