The inside of Bar Lala tells a very different story. Its comfy and cozy with whimsical vintage takes like a stiletto wall, gold chrome, and heart shaped napkins that greet guests on every table setting. Love has literally been placed into every diners lap, with intention.
Gav had my ring custom made from a jewler in California called, Happy Jewelers, that my family has used for years. My mom thoughtfully asked if he’d like to use the diamonds from my late grandmothers wedding ring since the ring was dated and was just sitting in a jewelry box. Needless to say it came out amazing, he had been listening to me yap about what I want and didnt want for months. Better yet, I get to have a little piece of my grandmother and her love story on my own finger into my new married life.
My favorite place is always the rooftops. Beautiful bubbling fountains are hidden away between manicured plants. The chicago location was no exception. It was a charming spring day with a light breeze and we found ourselves lounging on patio furniture that costs the same as a midsize vehicle (not kidding).
We opted for the vegetarian medley—a delightful sampling of everything on the menu served on one hearty plate, accompanied by fresh bread. The menu changes daily based on what’s ripe in the growing season, sourced fresh from their farm each morning. It’s a concept I love—innovative, sustainable, and no food goes to waste.
The atmosphere was gorgeous. A literal picturesque small town European dream. We were right on the water watching the town wake up. Small boats skimmed past us as fishermen dropped off their catches of the day to other local restaurants. Floating swimming lanes with little buoys attached to the sea wall had been put out to allow the early risers first claim to the crisp water.
Walking on the cobblestoned streets and exploring the little nooks and crannies of this historic place was a perfect morning for me. Every part of Perast was rich with history, culture, and was a dream location that just kept on giving.
