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.

    Another wonderful dining experience at Bistronomic! I have been dining here for fourteen years and never been disappointed. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. After time to settle in our server arrived and took our drink and menu orders. We started with the three cheese board which we thoroughly enjoyed. Then we had the Maine Lobster Bisque and Mini Comte Cheese Ravioli as our appetizers and they were delicious. For our main courses we had the Prime Beef Shirt Rib and Homemade Fresh Ricotta Tortellini which were both wonderful. Chef came by and visited each table to check on our dining experience which is a very nice touch. Bistronomic is a warm, friendly, and inviting restaurant with delicious cuisine!

    Our Valentines Dinner was amazing, La Serre has a beautiful aesthetic and the food was impeccable and impressive and the drinks were amazing as well! But the highlight was the service my girlfriend and I received when we had issues getting in due to the weather and were late for our reservation. Wendolyn was able to move things around and still get us in at the bar and made sure we still had a wonderful Valentine’s. We are incredibly appreciative and will be back, and will be telling everyone we know they need to come as well!

    I have so many nice things to say about dining at Obelix that i may need more space. First, the staff. There is no better trained, personable, knowledgable, and efficient team in Chicago. From the host, to the bartender, wait staff, and servers everyone knows they are there to ensure MY experience is memorable. They delivered beautifully. Next, the fabulous food. You get your first glimpse of what's to come when you enter the restaurant and see the kitchen. Choosing your meal is a challenge because everything sounds so delicious. With the help of our waiter we had escargot, pate, duck confit, and frites. The bartender helped us select an amazing champagne that you've never had of, and yet was better than the usual names on a menu. We concluded our meal with fromage and apple. The room acoustics are perfect. A full dining room and background music did not inhibit conversation despite the windows and concrete. The velvet banquets and subtle window treatment gives the room warmth as well as sound mitigation. Every detail is spot on. A great experience.

    I had dinner tonight at La Grande Boucherie and it was absolutely spectacular, food was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team for their outstanding service. A special thanks to Jonathan, Mathiew, and the lovely hostesses Christina and Madeleine, as well as my attentive server Edgar and his diligent busser Louis. A heartfelt shout out to Chef Taus, who truly deserves high praise for crafting such an extraordinary dinner! Every team member went above and beyond to create a truly memorable experience. If only there were a 6* star option! You really rolled out the red carpet for me!
