French Restaurants near Oak Park, IL

“Came here for the first time with a friend for a quick bite and coffee.. ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!! I loved it!! I definitely will return. It would be a nice spot to go in the evenings as well, if hours are ever extended. 5 out of 5.. Highly recommended. Next time I will be bringing a baguette home with me!!!“

“Excellent food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere.“

“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!!!“

“It a classic French Bistro with a wonderful menu and excellent service in the heart of one of Chicago’s friendliest neighborhoods!!“

“This past Friday our party had made a late 13-person reservation following our son's High School graduation ceremony at nearby Credit 1 arena. Unfortunately the activities ran late and we were put in a very precarious position of possibly missing our reservation. A few of us left early to get over there to explain what happened. We were fortunate enough, even with all the street we were under to feed out of 8 out of towners and having to find another location at 9:10p on a Friday evening, the Manager, a modern Saint said they'd keep the kitchen open for us.
I can not tell you how relieved and thankful were to her and the Chez Joel team to ask the kitchen to stay open an extra hour for starters, entrees and desserts. We were humbled by the hospitality.
Listen - the Chez Joel was without a doubt a master class in hospitality, service and kindness from the moment we opened the door until we left and said good night.
Oh, on top of that, the wine recommendations were fantastic, the escargot (OMFG) as were the other starters followed by the amazing entrees and fresh desserts. My goodness. This was a full-experience.
I cannot recommend this establishment enough from a small romantic dinner in a corner low-lit table to a party 13. 1,000/10 starts.“

“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!“

“My wife and I have been to Petite Vie several times over the last few years. For the handful of times we've been there, we've enjoyed the great food.

However, the service is equal to the food, which helps in rounding out a restaurant that you'll want to come back to. Also, there's a nice, lively atmosphere that we enjoyed during our time there.

The food was on point and presented beautifully. The wine list was well represented with nice selections of bottles and wines by the glass.

If you're looking for a great restaurant in the western suburbs, give Petite Vie a try. You'll enjoy the food, the service and the wine.“

“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 ❤️“

“A well-loved Chicago institution, La Creperie continues to serve great crepes and very good French onion soup. Their wine selection is excellent, and the outdoor patio is quite charming. Be sure to make reservations though, especially on the weekends.“

“We went for the Valentines Day 3 course meal and it was just incredible. The chocolate dessert that they have is to die for! It is also decorated beautifully and you can tell that all of the food is made with quality and fresh ingredients. Will definitely be back here again! My only complaint was our service, we felt like since we weren't big drinkers that we didn't get checked on very much by our waiter compared to some of the other tables & that's that we are generally pretty “easy.” However the hostess, other staff, and food runners were super sweet. Hopefully next time we'll just get a better server. However the food and everything else made up for the lack of our server being too hands on!! Will be back soon!“

“Coquette 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 Erwin is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing mashed potatoes. Must come back. 10/10.“

“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.“

“Delicious food & cocktails!“

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

“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!“
