our story
Named for the great hall of eternity of Norse mythology, the Valhalla team led by Stephen Gillanders, proudly presents the culmination of tireless passion and boundless ideation.
Our goal is to redefine the very essence of dining, by providing you a truly unique and pure experience, where each meticulously crafted course combines to embody the spirit of an eternal feast, celebrated through the artistry of a multi-course tasting menu unlike any other.
Due to the nature of the menu and its frequent evolutions, we cannot always accommodate extensive allergies or dietary needs. Please mention any dietary requests in advance, contact hello@valhallachicago.com with requests.
Why [925]?
Valhalla is the 3rd restaurant brought to you by our team, the first being S.K.Y. and the second Apolonia…both of which have antique spoons incorporated into their logos. Rooted in Chef Stephen’s obsession for collecting antique spoons, the restaurants’ antique spoon logos are a personal touch added into the image of each of the restaurants.
Of the antique spoons, the ones adorned with a [925] symbol represent the highest quality. Indicating 92.5% pure silver, 925 sterling silver is top tier and therefore the most prized. Rather than creating yet another logo based on the image of spoons, the [925] symbol represents the best from our team, along with the pursuit to create the highest quality experience for our guests here at Valhalla.
