Galit

The restaurant blends a rustic, warm aesthetic—complete with exposed brick walls and an open kitchen—with a lively, unpretentious atmosphere that invites both curiosity and comfort. Galit’s dining experience revolves around a four-course, prix fixe menu that allows guests to explore a diverse array of modern Israeli and Middle Eastern dishes. Signature items include creamy hummus topped with brisket, perfectly crisp falafel, richly spiced kubbeh halab, and grilled pastrami reminiscent of traditional barbecue. Seasonal vegetables, fresh seafood, and inventive desserts like chocolate tahini mousse and crispy phyllo pies round out the menu. The beverage program is equally thoughtful, featuring unique wines from the Middle East and a selection of cocktails that complement the bold flavors of the food. Despite its Michelin recognition, Galit maintains a friendly, communal vibe, with bar and shared table seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. With a focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and exceptional hospitality, Galit stands out as one of Lincoln Park’s most compelling and celebrated dining destinations.
