Best French Restaurants in River North (Chicago)

Bistronomic - from the warm welcome to our departure - was perfect for our group’s celebration. The authentic, creative and delicious cuisine, professional staff, music, atmosphere and location were great! Menus were filled with interesting offerings. Meals and drinks ordered, even the coffee, were well worth the cost. We’ll return.

Really good experience with great food. Loved the free bread service which you never get anywhere anymore! Linguine and clams was a little too garlicky for me, but the mussels, lamb, small bites, and cauliflower gratin were fantastic. Service was great too.

One of my favorite neighborhood gems. Their steak frites are unreal—so delicious and just like the ones we've had in Paris. Everything on the menu is great, and the service is always spectacular. Perfect for date nights, special occasions, family dinners, etc.

A delightful dining experience in a beautiful setting. Yes there are more exotic dining venues in Chicago but NoMi remains one of our favorite “go to” restaurants. The room, on 7th floor of Park Hyatt overlooking Michigan Ave is stunning, there are always some attractive items on the menu and the service is five star. (Joe wad wonderful on this occasion). A night worth doing again.

The ambiance is so lovely during Christmas and so festive. We sat at the Bar with Our martinis with blue cheese olives waiting for a table as we wanted to be seated by the Christmas tree. We began with oysters and the wagyu carpaccio, pleasing aesthetic, but even more delish. My Husband had the ribeye, which was a special and we ordered 3 sides; Gouda macaroni and cheese served in a copper crock, the haricots verts and frites, all so delish. I tasted his ribeye, but enjoyed all of the sides. My Husband had the raspberry sorbet for dessert accompanied by an espresso martini which I had as well. The piece of resistance (not spelled as pronounced) was it was 1/2 price wine on the bottles. We enjoyed a bottle with dinner and even brought another bottle to Our hotel to enjoy.
