French Restaurants near Wilmette, IL

“We've been dining at Convito for years, and this dinner ranks among the best! Our server, Pedro, was terrific: attentive, responsive, personable. The food was great: my wife had gazpacho and chicken paillard, both of which were terrific. I started with escargots which were excellent and then loved my entree of fettuccine quatro formaggi. This was not the typical Alfredo sauce, but a lighter one with Prosciutto and mushrooms. It was incredible! One of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. We ended the dinner sharing a wonderful carrot cake with butter pecan ice cream. A memorable Labor Day weekend dinner!“

“Fantastic food and service!!!“

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

“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“Exactly what you expect from a French brasserie. Excellent food, wine and service. Love.“

“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 ❤️“

“I love this restaurant and have been coming for years. It is cozy and quaint and just a special place. The food is always good (if you don't like crepes, there are a few non-crepe dishes, but I've never tried them) with a nice variety of options (vegetarian/seafood/chicken/beef). Decent wine list. I usually get the Nutella crepe for dessert, but be sure to ask for a steak knife to make it easier to cut through the crispy goodness. When the weather is nice, definitely try to get a seat in the backyard patio area. It is a calm, secluded area, unlike the usual Chicago sidewalk setups that leave you staring at car exhausts. The owner is often there, and it's great to get a chance to say hi. The service is always great without being 'fancy.' Just a lovely little neighborhood place with a French bistro feel, that I keep going to even though I no longer live anywhere near the neighborhood.“

“Will absolutely be back!

The Branzino is amazing, the steak was amazing, the dessert (Lemon Cake) was amazing.

We are picky about our places and we will absolutely be back. Julie was awesome and had great suggestions.

My only regret was we forgot to order the crab cakes for an appetizer.“

“One of my favorite restaurants. I LOVE the salad with fried goat cheese & beets. Also the croque monsieur was really good 😊“

“This is one of my husband’s and my favorite place! We were a big fan of Creperie St. Germaine so we are so happy that they haven’t completely changed the delicious menu and the interior is the same cozy place we love! And the crepes are to die for! This place is freaking AWESOME!!!“

“Amazing food and incredible service. I couldn’t believe how flavorful and delicious the food was. I’ve eaten in a lot of different, and way more expensive, restaurants in Chicago. The food at Le Sud, not only rivals, but surpasses many of Chicago’s “finest.” This restaurant is a gem not to be missed.“

“In town for business and George Trois came highly recommended (Thank you, Susan!). Perfect time of year as Chef Michael is showcasing a beautiful tasting menu featuring perigord truffles. Everything was absolutely delightful from the great service (Thanks, Abran!) to the fantastic wine pairings (Thank you, Brian!) My favorite dish was the Coquille St. Jacques “En Tuxedo” which was scallop and truffle encased in a butter pastry, swimming in a lavish champagne-caviar sauce. Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much and such a great honor to meet you and your team. George Trois is a MUST VISIT for any true gourmand.“

“We dined at Froggy’s on Valentine’s Day, and had a wonderful time! This was our first time ever here, even though Froggys has been here for over 40 years! The interior is warm and inviting and we were welcomed in and seated promptly. Our server Peter was terrific all night, personable, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was truly a delight! We had Beef Wellington and Chicken Cordon Blue. Both were delicious and our overall experience was really great. We highly recommend this place and we will be back!“

“The food is delicious and the people are extremely friendly. I am a big fan and highly recommend there Eggplant Parmigiano, beet salad, curries, and Spaghetti marinara. But you can’t go wrong, food is top quality. They make my life easier after a long day at work. Oh, and one of the best brownies I have ever had!“

“Amy Morton doesn't know me at all. We live 235 miles away and we are not able to dine at her restaurant anytime soon. Nevertheless, we sent a blind inquiry looking for information on a performer who appeared at Found Kitchen 3 years ago. Our inquiry is never going to make any money for Amy, we know that and she knows that. Altho she could have blown off our request, she had her staff reach out to us the next day with all of the contact info we possibly could need....because she's an awesome business person and a great restaurenteur! Every restaurant comes up short on the quality of an entree from time to time, water glasses might not get refilled as rapidly as a Yelp reviewer might want......it happens. We wanted to share with your FB viewers our experience with Amy's staff and let you all know how much we appreciate her and her dedication to customer service.“

“Foods are delicious, staffing friendly and great services“

“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!“
