I have a passion for cooking and Asian cuisine. With over thirty years of professional food service experience I attribute my most important cooking lessons as the ones I received at a young age from my grandmother. She taught me the essence of food and what makes it so important in our lives. Growing up in the Philippines meant fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, trips to the market for meats and fish. The Philippines is the crossroads of Asian cuisine and infused with flavors from all over the world and she taught me how to embrace those flavors. I love exploring new flavors and visiting old favorites and sharing those experiences with my fiends.

Chicago gave us a lot to love, but one restaurant rose above the rest.

Our visit to Boonies Filipino Restaurant was easily the highlight of our whirlwind food tour through the city.

Chef Joe and his wife, Joyce, are creating something special. Their food is deeply rooted in Filipino heritage, yet presented with a fresh, modern point of view that feels exciting, relevant, and authentic. Every dish respects where it came from while showing where Filipino cuisine is headed.

What makes Boonies stand out is not just the food. It is the passion, hospitality, and heart behind it. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. By the time we left, we understood why so many people are talking about this place.

Boonies is a restaurant Filipinos can be proud of. It is also a restaurant that invites everyone to discover, celebrate, and fall in love with Filipino food. Whether you are gathering with family, celebrating a milestone, or simply looking for an incredible meal, this is a place that delivers style, class, and unforgettable flavors.

Chicago has many great restaurants.

Boonies is a rising star shining very bright.

Thank you, Joe and Joyce, for sharing your talent, your hospitality, and your vision for Filipino cuisine.

Go visit this hidden gem before everyone else discovers it.

Beautiful Weekend Ahead. Brunch, New Drinks & Coffee From Mindanao

The forecast is calling for a beautiful weekend, and there is no better way to start your day than around the table with family and friends.

Join us this Saturday or Sunday for brunch at Maricel's Kitchen, where you will find Filipino favorites, fresh-made specialties, and a few new things we are excited to share.

This weekend, be sure to try our new refreshing drinks, including our Calamansi & Iced Tea, a bright and citrusy twist on a classic summer favorite.

We are also proud to introduce our newest seasonal coffee selection, Sultan Kudarat Coffee from Mindanao. Grown in the rich volcanic soils of the southern Philippines, this coffee offers a smooth, well-balanced cup with notes that make it perfect for a leisurely brunch.

Whether you are joining us for your favorite brunch dish, meeting friends for coffee, or discovering something new, we would love to welcome you.

Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

We recommend making a reservation, especially on beautiful weekends like this one.

We look forward to seeing you at the table.

Warmly,

Chef Maricel Gentile & The Maricel's Kitchen Team
