A Classic French Bistro in the heart of Edison Park has been a dream of Executive Chef and owner Joe Calabrese for several years. Joe was professionally trained at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America located in Hyde Park, New York. Before opening his other restaurant, Zia’s Trattoria (located one block west of Café Touché at 6699 N. Northwest Highway) in 1997, he was sharpening his professional – and knife – skills at several well-respected Chicago dining establishments including Ambria, Spiagia, Un Grand Cafe and the Park Hyatt. Joe lives in Park Ridge, a few short miles from the restaurants, so expet to see him in both restaurants assuring a quality experience for his customers. On days off, Joe can be found at home with his wife, Mary Kay and their 3 boys. Reservations by phone: 773-775-0909. The only reservation restrictions are on Friday and Saturday, parties of five or more only. Café Touché is located at 6731 N. Northwest Highway, Chicago (Edison Park), I

    The food was great and the service was excellent. A little pricey. The only bad thing is they add a fee for using a credit card. That’s a huge negative for me.

    Came here on New Year's Eve and the place was very busy and decorated. The ambiance of the restaurant sets it a part from anywhere else in the area. Service was attentive and quick, loved the food and french flavors. My cocktail was especially good. Overall this was a great meal and time with family to celebrate the new year.

    This is a real neighborhood place and we where told it is crowded and noisy any day of the week. Don’t come if tight crowded, loud spaces are not pleasurable because for us it wasn’t.
