A great choice to have breakfast around the area. If you are staying at Sofitel, I do recommend going to this restaurant at least once.
The server was kind and friendly. The food is delicious and well served.

I have breakfast there at least once a week. There’s 4 guys there (all waiters), and I can’t tell you which one is better than the next. Attentive, professional, anticipatory, and knowledgeable. The menu is beautifully crafted. The press coffee is second to none, and the food ALWAYS comes out perfect, curated and hot. Josh, John. Mehmet and (the fourth waiter…shame on me for not knowing his name) ☺️ are all phenomenal.
I keep telling myself to try new places but…why the hell mess with perfection, right?
ZERO complaints. That place is my ritual breakfast Zin. ❤️🔥

French onion soup was very sweet- we didn’t end up eating it. Can’t speak for the other food.

We only had breakfast here and food was so so. Great service and atmosphere. Also not sure why bathrooms do not have changing table it’s not convenient for families. It is pricey but I guess any downtown hotel restaurant will be.

A little pricey but expected for a hotel restaurant. Food was good. I had American Breakfast. The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked as I normally find restaurants overcook scrambled eggs. The sausage was the best I’ve had in Chicago. Service was attentive and friendly. Coffee is a French press at the table which is convenient.

The Sofitel hotel’s restaurant Café des Architectes has been replaced by a new restaurant, CDA. There is no comparison, the food was terrible. My roasted potatoes were greasy and tasted like they were cooked with old oil. My caprese omelet was flavorless. At least the décor is the same and the service was excellent. If you do go there, just order coffee and enjoy the surroundings. There are many other breakfast options within a few blocks.

Cafe des Architectes was simply not what I thought it would be. However, that does not mean it was lackluster. On the contrary, it was tasty but neither me or my lunch date were WOWed by the lunch menu.When we arrived for a 12:30PM reservation on a Wednesday afternoon, the dining room was completely empty. Shortly after seating, it was half booked.The space itself is absolutely stunning. It is very modern and bright and open. The flatware was of quality design and so were the linens. The details put into the aesthetics no doubt mirror the type of modernity you find in the hotel.The service here was good. Almost too good. The waitstaff approached us too many times during the meal to refill water or inquire as to how everything was or if we wanted more bread.The chicken sandwich was delicious and so were the fries. My enjoyed his pork belly sandwich, but did feel as if it was overcooked. Pork belly tends to be very juicy (due to the fact) but he mentioned it was a tough a just a bit dry.I won't be running back to CdA but if I do come back, it will be for dinner.
