Description

Summary: A cozy, wood-walled hub where diners share plates along a long counter.

Avec is a Paul Kahan wine bar and small-plates hub known for communal dining. The long counter and wood-plank interior invite close sharing, while a Mediterranean-flavored menu evolves with the season. Expect bold plates like hanger steak with greens, pork shoulder with beans, and a crispy redfish, all paired with a thoughtful wine list. A second, larger location in River North handles bigger groups, but the vibe stays intimate and welcoming.
