Chicago’s cutest little French bistro & wine bar. Coquette is a pink Parisian dream offering modern French cuisine paired with exciting wines and cocktails.Led by Executive Chef Marcos Campos, Culinary Director Erwin Mallet and Executive Pastry Chef Shannah Primiano, Coquette expresses their vision for a modern bistro, where quintessential recipes and iconic dishes are matched with contemporary influences. Though our cuisine may be “nouvelle” our equipment is undeniably primitive, with all cooking done by live-fire ovens and mangal grills. We also feature a dry aging system that blends state-of-the-art technology with methods that go back thousands of years to unleash the flavor and tenderness of the beef, duck and fish prepared in our kitchen. Coquette’s wine list is a playful celebration of France’s most under-appreciated regions and boldest winemakers.

    **La Grande Boucherie Review** La Grande Boucherie exceeded all expectations! The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. The meal began with their divine starters, and I must highlight the Niçoise salad, with its fresh vibrant flavors that set the tone for the evening. For the entrées, the salmon was cooked to perfection, flaky, and flavorful, while the broiled branzino was a standout, delicate, beautifully seasoned, and paired perfectly with its accompaniments. The atmosphere added to the experience, combining elegance and warmth. I absolutely can't wait to go back and explore more of their incredible menu.

    Mon Ami Gabi is a perennial favorite, particularly for the holiday season. The restaurant is decked out for the holiday and always feels so warm and cozy. The food and service are excellent year round as well, but this is a special time to visit.

    The food was soooo good! Loved the Leek & Egg plant, Shrimp cocktail, and french onion fondue. Steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. The sides of fries, Cauliflower, whipped potatoes, and mushrooms were to die for! Needless to say we didn’t make it to dessert, but the service was impeccable and overall it was sooo great!
