Forum 55 stands out from the others by the way you pay. Other food halls have you go up to the restaurant you want to order from, and then order. At Forum 55 they have kiosks that you enter your order yourself, from any of the restaurants. Then when your order is ready, you get a message on your phone to come get your food. This also means that you can order any dish online through the Forum 55 website. Vendors of note are Butcher and Larder, Friends Sushi and Ramen, Flo and Santos, Pork and Mindy’s and Sparrow Coffee. They also have two pop up vendors. An added bonus is that it is close to the Loop Campus.

What Eataly is to Italian food, Latinicity is to Latin American cuisine. Inside Block 37, it is in a mall, which is different than the other food halls on the list. Latinicity has food stations, each with a certain kind of food. Mariscos has cooked and raw seafood, Machefe Taqueria has tacos and Tortas and Molletes serves sandwiches. They also have fusion food stations, combining Latin influences with other styles of cuisine. Burguesa serves burgers, Chaufe Wok serves up stir-fry, and the Sushi and Ceviche bar serves sushi and ceviche. Each with a Latin inspired flair. There is also one stand-alone restaurant, Pueblo, which focuses on Mexican cuisine specifically. They do Happy Hour Mondays through Saturdays and also have what they call bottomless brunch on Sundays. It is pretty close to the Loop Campus, but not as close as Revival or Forum 55.

The Chicago French Market is very large. The Chicago French Market has “over 30 local food and artisan purveyors under one roof,” according to their website. Located in the Ogilvie Metra station, it is very convenient for suburban commuters. Even though the name suggests that the food would all be French, almost none of it is. There are crepes at Flip Crepes, Le Cafe du Marche and The French Lunchbox offer French lunch options, and Vanille Patisserie sells French desserts and pastries. Other, not French restaurants of note at the Chicago French Market are Da Lobsta, Lillie’s Q and Pastoral. It is a pretty long walk from the Loop Campus, but in a great spots for students who commute into Ogilvie Transportation Center from the suburbs.

3 Greens Market is smaller than the other food halls on the list. They have three vendors, plus hot and cold food buffets priced by the pound. The vendors are Small Cheval, Dillman’s Pastrami Shop and the Doughnut Vault. Small Cheval is the smaller offshoot of the famous and highly regarded restaurant Au Cheval. Small Cheval’s burgers are $1 cheaper than the ones at Au Cheval, and a little smaller.

Revival Food Hall (pictured above), located a couple blocks north of the DePaul Loop Campus at 125 S Clark St, has a variety of local restaurants, each serving different cuisines. Restaurants of note are Aloha Poke, Furious Spoon Ramen, Smoque BBQ, The Budlong hot chicken, and Union Squared Detroit style pizza. There is also a bookstore/record shop, a bakery, and a bar. They also do happy hour every night.

Eataly has a basic theme, as the name suggests, all the food is Italian. They are also a grocery store, with meat, cheese, wine, kitchen accessories and pasta for sale. They also have a microbrewery/restaurant, Birreria, which offers simple dishes. Each restaurant has a particular focus. Ristorante Toscano sells dishes from the Tuscany region of Italy. La Pizza and La Pasta serves pizza and pasta dishes. Il Pesce serves seafood. La Piazza is inspired by Italian city squares and serves shared dishes and drinks. Osteria di Eataly serves full multiple-course Italian dinners.

Beatrix Food Mart just opened right next to the DePaul Loop campus, and is a great option if you are tired of Loop STU food. The modern mart offers everything one could want, from a coffee counter to a hot soup bar. The two-story food hall offers a wide arrange of anything you could ever want DIY yogurt parfait station, pizza, mexican food, and a coffee shop.
