French Restaurant · Lincoln Park · 55 tips and reviews
Christopher Floss: Mon Ami in Lincoln Park is a snapshot of a traditional French bistro venue. Everything is great: warm French baguette, New York strip and, of course, creme brûlée!! All is VERY good!
David: French food: baguette, onion soup, escargot, steak frites, mussels.
Talal A: My favorite restaurant in Chicago. Great ambience and service, strong drinks, excellent steak frites. Also try the escargots!
Christopher Brooks: Best scone I've ever had. Get the chocolate chip one - you won't regret it. The toasted baguette on the sandwiches is delicious as well.
Dana Parker: Caprese baguette and hot cider, you can't go wrong
Abby Meixner: Hands down my fave brunch place in all of Gold Coast, Streeterville, and River north. Gfree friendly, get the breakfast Sammie and an Americano topped with almond milk.
Tasting Table: Go in the morning for breakfast baguette sandwiches of roasted tomatoes and cheddar, or bacon, baked egg, pickled onions and cheese: Read more.
Joseph Borgese: Best baguette in the city.
Serious Eats: Sandra Holl's macarons are perfectly at home in Floriole's elegant pastry case alongside seasonal baked treats. They're light, airy, and full of delicate flavor, leagues beyond usual sugary versions.
Arline Welty: butter sandwich @ fumare meats. generous pat of butter on a perfect crusty baguette.
Mo Money: 'You had me at baguette!'
Brenda Henry: Love, love, love the BLTA at Pastoral. It's a BLT on a French baguette, with avocado, and house made prosciutto...:-)

John S.: Love the Gypsy & Danaish Bacon w Boiled Ham on baguette.
Graham Ward: Pastrami on rye. For a Fumare virgin, that's all you need to know. You can come back for the almost equally awesome sausages.
Time Out Chicago: Try the Montreal-style smoked pastrami from our 100 Best list: The smoked meat of Montreal: thick, hand-cut slices, edges lined with black pepper, the meat gorgeously marbled and fall-apart tender.
Christine Rodriguez: Great lunch: grab a baguette, some cheese and strawberries and have lunch at the tables in the plaza
Melissa Schlegelmilch: Lunch: Try Rock n Roll Noodles (on the Clark side)- healthy, fresh and delicious- I can't get enough of them. Another favorite (not for lunch) is twin garden farms corn. Insanely good.
Jen Usellis: River Valley Ranch on the corner of Clark & Washington is a must! Their $10 mushroom mix bags and tamales are to die for!

Vietnamese Restaurant · Lake View East · 29 tips and reviews
Lonnie Tapia: I expect there to be a food cart in the back. The spicy baguette sandwich concept is so simple. And soooo delicious. And $6. Heeey!
Holiday: I would eat there everyday if I lived in Chicago. Had the lemongrass chicken baguette and a cup of green tea- amazing. And so is the sweet owner, Michelle,
Serious Eats: Like all great versions of the Vietnamese sandwich, the Saigon Classic Special ($4.85) is carefully proportioned.
Nancy Beale: If you're in a hurry get a grab and go sandwich. They are 8 bucks as ways delicious. My favorite thing to so is get rillete, pimento cheese and a baguette and snack on that all day ;)
Lindsey Susick: Order the cornmeal cookie. Better yet order 6. It's one of the most amazing cookies I have ever eaten.
Time Out Chicago: The arctic char tartine at Publican Quality Meats is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more.
