Outdoor lunchspot with a non- american menu ?

[luisa dos]

Can anyone recommend a weekday lunch spot with outdoor dining - I'm looking for something moderately priced and global in nature - ie/ not salads / sandwiches etc....asian, mexican, (but not xoco), mediteranean, middle eastern etc.

thx!

Piccolo Sogno, in River West just north of Greek Town. It's Italian; the food is terrific and the patio is lovely.

I love PS, but am looking for something more moderately priced - - anything else come to mind?
it doesn't have to be a lovely patio, just some outdoor space. Thx!!

Big Star on Damen in Wicker Park/Bucktown. Fabulous tacos (pork belly, tilapia, vegetarian) and queso fundito with poblanos and chorizo. Great drinks. Great fun.

Also Turquoise, Turkish on Roscoe in Roscoe Village, has a nice outdoor patio and excellent food.
