ARTOPOLIS was created from our desire and need to offer traditional recipies for your enjoyment.

The Greek word "Artos" means bread and "Polis" means town — we brought these words together to complement and add to the uniqueness of Chicago's GREEKTOWN. For centuries, the ancient Greeks believed that bread was the begining for all great meals. We hope that the warmth of our ovens, the fresh baked bread and the hospitality of our staff will continue this tradition in Chicago.

ARTOPOLIS brings today's technology together with our passion and experience to produce a variety of freshly baked aromatic offerings/; All of our delicacies can be enjoyed in our Café or taken home to be savored.

There is an old Greek saying that "Bread is a gift to all of us." Artopolis, located in the heart of Chicago’s Greektown neighborhood at 306 South Halsted, strives to make their bread and food specialties the best gift they can give their customers.

Opened just before the new millennium, Artopolis was created to bring the true European style cafe to Chicago. It was Created by Yianni Melidis, James Alexander and Tony Katsoulias, owners of the successful Pegasus Restaurant and Taverna just down the street. Artopolis literally means "town of bread," and features artisan breads, wood fired pizzas, signature sandwiches, delicious salads, Greek and meditteranean entrees, creative desserts and specialty coffees and organic teas in a modern loft-style space with an open air kitchen. Artopolis is beautifully designed with main floor and balcony seating for 100 persons.
