Gilda Chicago: Precision, Place, and What’s Next
Gilda Chicago is Chef Jeremy Leven’s personal expression of restraint, craft, and cultural intention rooted in the spirit of San Sebastián’s pintxos bars and translated through a distinctly Chicago lens.
Named after the iconic Basque bite, Gilda reflects a philosophy of precision and confidence: food that is disciplined, seasonal, and emotionally grounded.
The menu is compact yet deliberate, built for flow; of conversation, of plates, of energy - where every dish speaks to experience, lineage, and expression. .
More than a residency, Gilda is a living platform for what’s next.
It represents Chef Jeremy’s forward vision for hospitality; prioritizing cultural exchange over trend, craft over excess, and community over spectacle.
Existing in the in-between of late nights and new ideas, tradition and reinvention, Gilda honors where he’s been while creating space for where he’s going.
This is not a conclusion; it’s a foundation.
See you there.
