Bodega Sur operates as three things in one small room on Southport: a wine and liquor boutique, a café, and an Argentine bistro. It comes from the same family behind Tango Sur, one of Chicago's well-known Argentine spots, carrying that family-owned sensibility into a tighter, more intimate space than a typical dining hall.
Beyond the dining room, Bodega Sur runs a catering arm for events, sourcing food fresh daily from local vendors and regional distributors and preparing menus on-site when possible to keep quality consistent away from the restaurant itself.
Regulars have built a following around its breakfast service, a rhythm that's become part of what defines the place in the neighborhood.
