Here's everything you'll be eating at Ravinia Festival 2025
As the 2025 Ravinia Festival kicks off its summer season on June 6, with over 100 concerts and an eye-popping 40 artist debuts (hello, Janelle Monáe, Kygo and Nas), festivalgoers can expect more than just top-tier tunes. The food lineup, curated by Levy and Executive Chef Mark Hill, is a headliner in its own right.
Returning guests will find classic comforts with serious upgrades, like the Pulled Pork Stack, a decadent layering of creamy mac and cheese, barbecue mole-drizzled pork and crispy tortilla strips; or the Cappuccino Crunch Float, featuring cappuccino chip ice cream topped with whipped cream for the ultimate caffeinated cool-down.
But the biggest culinary glow-up might just be at Park View, where new fine-dining flair includes lamb tartare with house tzatziki and oregano, and a smoked short rib served over annatto potato purée with roasted corn and mole demi-glace.
Would you prefer to graze while watching the show? The revamped Tree Top Lounge is now a chic communal hangout with a full bar and live concert feeds. It plans to serve small plates with global flair, like burrata with Thai pesto, cured tuna with kimchi and sesame leaves, and wagyu sliders spiced up with togarashi tomato jam. Even the seafood fritto misto gets the Chicago treatment: calamari, shrimp, scallops and giardiniera with lemon aioli.
And for one night only, Ravinia is serving up a menu as iconic as its guests. On June 7, in honor of Grace Jones and Janelle Monáe (who share a love for Jamaican flavors), you'll find jerk chicken with brown sugar glaze, pigeon peas and cornbread, plus jerk pork tacos at the Lawn Bar—because nothing says 'festival royalty' like spiced meat and a side of mac.

Seven brunch spots with outdoor seating in Glasgow
From West End bakeries to new city centre openings, here are seven restaurants and cafes where you can sip iced coffees and enjoy eggs benedicts under the sun. Zique's Hinba 66 Hyndland Street With coffee roasted on the Hebridean Isle of Seil and a menu of brunch dishes including tomatoes on toast with red pesto and pickled peppers, or freshly baked croissants with Netherend Farm butter and jam, Zique's Hinba's is the perfect place to spend a lazy Saturday morning. If you're more tempted by a lie-in followed by small plates and cocktails in the evening, you can read our review of their dinner menu from last month here: Glasgow restaurant institution has new owners - how is the food? Singl-End 15 John Street or 263 Renfrew Street Serving at locations in Merchant City and Garnethill, Singl-end are long-established favourites of Glasgow's brunch scene. Whether you choose a pastry from the heavily-loaded baking display, or keep things savoury with skillet-baked eggs and chilli fennel sausage, a trip to these busy brunch spots is guaranteed to set you up for the day ahead. The city centre outdoor seating area, in particular, turns into a real sun trap when the warm weather hits. Sunny Acre 745 Pollokshaws Road In the Scotland-focused episode of the hit Netflix show, Somebody Feed Phil, actress Kelly Macdonald split a huge stack of cakes and bakes with host Phil Rosenthal at this Southside cafe. Anyone who has visited for themselves will understand why his enthusiasm began building with each bite. It's a popular place, which means securing a seat can be a difficult task, but slices of their homemade quiches and frittatas taste even better under the sun in the newly introduced outdoor seating area. The Wilson Street Pantry 6 Wilson Street If picture-perfect eggs are your favourite way to start the day, look no further than The Wilson Street Pantry in the city centre. Order them poached, fried, or scrambled on sourdough toast with optional extras of cold smoked salmon, feta cheese or link sausage. The team's specials are always worth a look too, with past creations pairing Corrie Mains eggs with chive, coriander, crab and smashed avocado or Thai basil cream cheese and crispy bacon bits. Partick Duck Club 27 Hyndland Street Just down the road from Zique's Hinba, the Partick Duck Club offers customers the chance to dine in quirky outdoor 'duck huts'. These booth-like benches look out towards Masnfield Park, making them a great choice for people watching while you tuck into a breakfast bun with homemade haggis, scrambled egg or beef dripping hash brown. The brunch menu is served all day, which means later on you can swap the coffee for a spicy Bloody Mary or fruity mimosa, if you fancy it. Cottonrake Cafe 717 Great Western Road There are plenty of fantastic brunch spots dotted along Great Western Road in Glasgow's West End, but the attention to detail and winning flavour combinations at Cottonrake earn them a place on this week's list. Think coconut and chia seed overnight oats with cherry compote and sweet nut dukkah, toasted rye topped with prosciutto, charred spring onion whipped cheese, hazelnut pesto and grilled nectarines, or grilled sourdough sandwiches with gruyere, cheddar & dijon mustard. The team has recently started opening in the evenings too, with a brand new dinner menu. Scran and Roadie 180 Saltmarket Previously located on London Road in the city's East End, Scran was known for regularly topping lists of Glasgow's best brunch spots. Although the team moved to a new unit last month, adding a selection of freshly made pizzas to their offering, there's no need for OG fans to worry. At their larger home just off Glasgow Green, you'll still find the team's best-selling brunch dishes from poached eggs with Stornoway black pudding to chicken salt hash browns topped with parmesan and truffle mayonnaise available from opening until 3 pm. As for the London Road spot? It's been taken over by the team behind Ho Lee Fook. More on that here: Barras street food sensation Ho Lee Fook to take over popular city cafe.

Famous actress sexually assaulted on treatment table at Soho massage parlour in ‘terrifying' ordeal
HORROR ATTACK Famous actress sexually assaulted on treatment table at Soho massage parlour in 'terrifying' ordeal Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A STAR was sexually assaulted on a treatment table at a Soho massage parlour in a "terrifying" ordeal. The actress was attacked by Sundaralingam Koodalingam, who groped her while she was getting treatment. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Koodalingam, 36, who came to the country from the Maldives in 2021, also intimately touched the woman during the horror attack. He has now been jailed for four years after he was convicted of assault by penetration and sexual assault. Sentencing, Mr Recorder Jeremy Brier KC said: "[The victim] describes it as a violation. She describes having panic attacks, and says that she cannot relax in public spaces since the incident has taken place. "She was naked, vulnerable, and entirely trusting in your professionalism and integrity. "This offence is so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified." Southwark Crown Court heard the woman, who is also a singer, visited the Thai massage parlour in London in 2023. While she was lying on the table, Koodalingam touched her breasts and sexually assaulted her. In a victim impact statement, she told how she was left unable to work following the attack and needs regular therapy sessions. She added: "I found it difficult to talk to friends about what had happened. I don't want to use the words necessary to explain what he did to me." "Imagine the sentence 'At least he didn't rape you' being the silver lining. "Ultimately, I am fundamentally changed by the incident. The actions of the defendant left me sad and untrusting of people. "I don't know if I will ever get back to who I was before that day. "He has taken away my trust, and my innocence, and my ability to give anyone, especially a stranger who happens to be a man the benefit of the doubt." The court was told Koodalingam came to the UK under the sponsorship of a "legitimate business in the Cotswolds". He is originally from the Maldives but was educated in India.
