French Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“We went last night to celebrate our anniversary and had an incredible meal. We did have a short wait for our table, but the staff was very apologetic and delivered outstanding service. Without us mentioning the delay, the hostess brought us champagne to apologize for our table running behind. Once seated, we received another complimentary drink and an appetizer. They made us feel truly special. The wait did not bother us at all, yet the team still went out of their way to make it right. Some of the best service we have ever experienced at a restaurant. 10/10“

“J'adore la nourriture ici. Ambiance incroyable. Vraiment aimé le vin et le steak. Je reviendrai. ❤️“

“We loved our meal last night for Valentine’s Day! pair the duck bread with the squash soup. It was absolutely delicious. The goat cheese salad with the apple dressing was equally as good. My steak was cooked perfectly. We had an amazing espresso martini and a delightful crisp lemon cocktail. My husband also liked their old fashioned. We split caramel ice cream with pineapple and it was a great finishing touch. The Moscato d Asti never disappoints either this is our fourth Valentine’s Day with Brindille and it has been our tradition ever since we have been together. Each year is different and this year was definitely better than the last! Their servers are great too. We are looking forward to our future years here. Thank you. ❤️“

“I found this gem about a month ago and I have been here several times in the past month...and I live in South Carolina! If you have not found this place - RUN to them! Their food is amazing. Their French Onion soup will bring a tear to your eyes... and their Cornish hen is out of this world! Graham and his crew here are kicking out some amazing food you can't find everywhere in Chicago and this place is becoming a fan favorite with our company and some of our vendors/partners. Great place to take a client, date, or just some friends.“

“Chez Joel is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Joel and Ahmed is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Awesome steak frites. Must come back. 10/10.“

“Lugar acogedor, el pulpo exquisito. Procuren ir a la hora de la apertura (4 p.m. ) a esa hora es menos concurrido lo que permite que la atención sea aún más espectacular.“

“Most beautiful and exceptional restaurant the chef/owner went out of his way to make our experience very memorable. The food and service was outstanding! Our business lunch was a huge success and we were in town from Los Angeles! Definitely coming back again!!!!“

“Attended a very lovely wedding + reception there today (not a usual function they perform) and it was absolutely amazing! The decor, the atmosphere, the food & service were all top notch! Tres Bien!!!“

“Get transported to a tiny French cafe at the northern end of Lincoln Park.
We were delighted to see that La Creperie, which has been around since 1972 but closed for a few years, is back and just as charming as ever.
Occupying a long narrow space mid block, the cafe is filled with furnishing and artwork reminiscent of a tiny Bistro in France.
The menu includes salads as well as a variety of savory and sweet crepes.
We opted for one of each, the ratatouille crepe and a lemon crepe. Both were delicious and held true to their pre closure standard.
There are several wine pots available, as well as tea, coffee, and espresso drinks“

“Great atmosphere! Wonderful service! Tasty appetizers and fantastic drinks!“

“I really enjoyed Coquette. First the food is excellent. My friend and I shared a Chicken Wellington and a burger. The Wellington was actually a beautiful dish and very delicious. The burger had foie gras on it and was outstanding. The prices were very reaonsable. I liked the wine list but my friend felt the wines by the glass were limited. But I thought there was something for everyone. Finally, it's a small place, very cozy and the wait staff is terrific. I highly recomment it.“

“Hello everyone, the restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is 10/10 👌🏽 and the food was good. One important point is that it was a bit cold inside. I understand that today was colder than usual, but our table was much colder in the outside area, and there was air blowing directly onto our faces. We asked for help several times to change tables until finally someone helped us. It would have been perfect if something had been done the first time we asked for help.“

“Great hotel restaurant. Five star for sushi. It's a staple in Chicago. The rooftop is great in the summer. The martinis are great. Slightly expensive though.“

“Lovely French restaurant! Attentive service. Enjoyed our food. Certainly a work in progress but worth it! Will go back!“

“Lea has great food and a nice vibe. Great spot to eat and meet in Oak Park!“

“Always a good choice for traditional French cuisine with their own added specials. Our group of five had a variety, including a cheese tray, beet salad, steak/frites, duck Magret and pasta. All were delicious and had lovely presentation. Our server was especially attentive and helpful.“

“My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. This restaurant always has spectacular service and amazing food but the l manager and our server went above and beyond to make the night special for us. Highlights were the ESCARGOT and SALMON MEUNIÈRE. Happy Hour is everyday from 4-6, so our 5:30 res also put us there just in time to get $2/ oysters and a couple of their specialty cocktails (loved the French 75 and Kir Royale) which were all fabulous. From start to finish it was a lovely evening with amazing food and impeccable service in a beautiful restaurant.“

“Great food and awesome service! Oysters were delicious.“

“I took my daughter out for her birthday with my son and his family. Suffice it to say, my family loves good food and the menu hit the spot for us. Warm bread served with a briny tapenade, seafood tower, oyster plate, caviar service, duck, steaks and delicious sides were just a few items that we ate. The drinks were good as well. We really enjoyed ourselves and the service was very good.“

“I seldom do Chicago without coming here at least once. That's at least 70 visits in over ten years. From their French pressed coffee to the bread service, it is tip top always.“

“It has quickly become one of my favorite spots! Been here three times, and the food is consistently delicious, and I especially appreciate that the ambiance is perfect for conversation. My first visit was at the bar with my manager, and we really enjoyed the tapas-style dinner, sharing different plates. My second visit was with a good friend, and I had your signature red snapper dish. As someone who is Cambodian, it immediately reminded me of how my dad used to cook our catfish... it was absolutely delicious! Most recently, I tried the sea bass, and as expected, it was very delectable. This is definitely a spot I plan to keep visiting!“

“Since coming back from Paris, I just wanted to re-experience an amazing French breakfast and pastry. And this place never disappoints! I brought my mom here and knowing she has high expectations, I was nervous. But after her first bite, I knew that she loved it! Everyone is always very nice and the atmosphere is just so cozy and very French. The croissants are to die for!“

“Les viennoiseries et le pain sont excellents. J’ai particulièrement apprécié les croissants aux amandes. Presque comme à la maison 😉 LaWantzenau (67610) France“
