Best French in the city so far
Steak frites, escargot, trout with lentils. All favorites!
There isn’t a bad thing on the menu, but if we had to limit ourselves, we’d go with onion soup, mussels steamed in Belgian ale, roasted chicken and pan-seared hanger steak flanked by amazing frites. Read more.
French onion soup is to die for.
best restaurant for French inspired food.. Always great food, wine and ambience.
Get a three-course prix fixe dinner for $25 on Tuesdays.
Garlic-and-thyme-scented roast chicken, a bountiful bouillabaisse, and steak paired with irresistible frites make for great entrees. Cozy quarters and congenial staff add extra appeal. Read more.
Came for brunch, loved the chicken sammy & omelette. 3 yo daughter told the waiter they were the best pancakes she ever had so the chef came out to meet her with cookies. Awesome touch. We’ll be back.
So tasty! 🥞✨
Pancakes are the perfect consistency of cakey and fluffy
Incredible wine list. Lovely menu- the duck was killer
Best French Fries in Chicago. You can’t go wrong with any dish here but the Sweetbreads are my personal favorite.
It's a cute place with great food and service.
Very tasty red that was going through some new-restaurant growing pains. I thought my Moroccan-French lamb dish was tasty, and the beef Wellington looked very good too, as did the French Onion soup.
Food and service are fantastic. Menu is incredible. My only complaint is that the tables are too close together.
The carousel is a cool concept. Great place to grab a drink after work. They make a good French 75!
The bar is truly a carousel as it rotates. Fun times.
Post council meeting dinner with members and guests
A bit off the brunch beaten path, but worth it.
Tell your friends you were a part of history (just by filling your belly!) - La Creperie is the oldest creperie in the USA.
Service here can be hit or miss, but the food is great. For brunch, try the crepe Florentine, my absolute favourite!
Wagyu steak is one of the best things on the menu
Come on Wednesday or Saturday nights to watch the fireworks literally come at you from Navy Pier
Definitely the place to be at sunset. American/French cuisine and impeccable service, right on the lake. Has a small lounge area for those that want to sip a beverage while drinking in the view
Classic French food by Jason Paskewitz. An absolute must if you are in Chicago.
The best restaurant to open in 2015 is this Lincoln Park gem, chef Jason Paskewitz' unapologetic homage to classic French cuisine, abetted by a smoothly professional service staff. Read more.
Amazing food. Enjoy a cocktail and then each option for dinner, soup, appetizers, trout was amazing and were the other entrees. Reasonable prices for phenomenal cuisine.
The escargot was fair at best. Steak with Frites was not a favorite. Bread, wine & atmosphere were great. Hope to try again with better 💕
The food is wonderful and the service is outstanding.
3 course lunch prix fixe for 21 dollars. 25 with a glass of wine.
Joël’s brick-laid courtyard is a respite, a quiet spot where the pâtés are creamy, the Champagne is cold, and you’ll never have to worry about spilling a cosmo on a maxidress. http://tmout.us/maA24 Read more.
There’s nothing corporate-feeling or focus-grouped here, just one bite after another of authentic French comfort food. Well-priced wines, mostly French. Read more.
The most romantic place to spend a birthday-Thanks to the staff for making everything wonderful. Wines selection is perfect for the menu. If you have a special occasion this is the perfect place.
Amazing! The entire experience was well worth it. If time allows go with the tasting menu.
Gorgeous, calm room with a Zen feeling. Awesome innovative wine list. I never heard of any of the white wines and the bartendar Djorn was so helpful to let us try a couple of them..
Well-priced French wines and a prix fixe menu for $32 (5 to 6:30 p.m.). Dishes we liked: Potato leek soup, foie gras with roasted pear, and hazelnut-crusted veal chop. Read more.
The service is reserved, the mood is quiet and the décor is modest. Sample starters such as a goat cheese tart ($7.50) or asparagus served with Puy green lentils in mustard vinaigrette ($8). Read more.
Quietly nestled in a dressed up Hyde Park shopping plaza, this little French place provides a bit of haute and an all-French wine list. - Inspector
Must have Canard(duck) a l'orange. But you need to order ahead. Pâté is great
Excellent hidden gem with authentic French cuisine. However, the host is incredibly rude - it's quite a Parisian experience!
Wonderful French comfort food, but be sure to order a Martini served in vintage glassware.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
