· Affinia Chicago
If buffets aren't your thing, try brunch at the hotel's C-House. The à la carte menu features dishes like buckwheat crepes with duck confit, shitaki mushrooms, spinach, Gruyère and a poached egg, as well as the whitefish boudin eggs Benedict with Meyer lemon hollandaise on sourdough. But we might just order a plate of the sweet potato doughnuts.
