Pastoral

Please go nation wide, the sandwiches are so good. While staying near by in CHI from out of town went thee times. Best quality , very much high end and worth every dollar!

Pastoral is my new favorite lunch spot.  Their sandwiches are perfect in every way.  I had the Pig & Fig which was absolutely delicious.  The Serrano ham was thinly sliced, and the blue cheese was the perfect addition.  As an added sweetness to the salty pairing of the ham and cheese was a nice fig and black tea compote.  Absolutely Devine!   I felt like I was eating in France and for a few minutes I had escaped the dreary Winter in Chicago and was transported to a small cheese shop in Paris!  Bon appetite!

oh pastoral... i have visited you three times in the past month and have already spent $60. I used to HATE cheese. DESPISE cheese. I would pick cheese out of sandwiches, hold my breath when I walk by the cheese aisle at whole foods, want to puke when I smell parmesan... you get the idea.

But then in recent months, I've started to acquire a taste for cheese, and pastoral really solidified my fondness for cheese. They have so many varieties! And all so delicious! The staff are all so friendly! Really good with recommendations and give generous samples. I've been more than pleased with every purchase I've made here.

Will always be back... even if it means the 40 minute L ride + 20 minute walk to your store in below freezing weather.
