“Petite Vie was a total "find"! While looking on OpenTable for a dinner spot on Friday, I stumbled across a French restaurant that I didn't know existed. I mentioned it to a few friends and that Sunday we went to Western Springs to check it out. The place is bright, cheery and inviting. We sat at the bar and were waited on by Patrick; bartender, manager, entertainer! The cocktails were creative and awesome, the food (especially the Pork Chasseur) was outstanding and the entire staff was welcoming and helpful. I feel like French food is slowly disappearing from our area, and to find this wonderful place was really fortunate. Please do yourself a favor, book a table and enjoy Petite Vie!“

“Chez Joël is a charming French bistro with a cozy and elegant atmosphere. The menu features authentic Southern French cuisine, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. Their wine selection is excellent, making it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a special evening out. Service is warm and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of food and ambiance justifies it. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an intimate and upscale dining experience in Chicago!“

“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“

“My sister Shelly Nagy purchased tickets to a Sunday afternoon drag brunch to celebrate my birthday! Marco not only held the door open for his guests, but he was also very kind and generous! He offered 2nd helpings (my only regret is that I did not indulge on that offer). Our meal was plentiful, delicious and presented beautifully! The bartenders cocktails (garnished w/ fresh flowers!) are pure elegance and his customer service skills are excellent! The drag show was a blast! The music was a hit (inside and out) and the upscale atmosphere will always have me anxiously waiting to come back soon! Thank you Marcos & Shelly for the most wonderful birthday celebration anyone will ever dream of! Gorgeous Downtown LaGrange is lucky to have Marco’s Kitchen! Take me back already!“

“j'ai passé le meilleur moment ici. La nourriture était si bonne. J'y suis allé avec mes filles après le travail. Maintenant je vais dans ce café presque tous les jours ❤️“
