As always this place does not disappoint. We had a wonderful meal, great serviers and an all around fantastic evening. It was my husband's birthday and he felt very special. An extra shout out to Heather for a great celebration of him.

Lovely place for a special lunch...generous portions, well-presented, obvious care taken in preparation of the meal, pleasant service. My only negative is that conversation is compromised a bit by the acoustics which made it noisy. Oh my gosh...the beet salad is outstanding...even if you don't like beets, you will love it! Mussels, mussels, mussels in a fabulous broth with crunchy bread on the side and the best fries ever!

The ocean trout in a puff pastry was exceptional. One of the best fish dishes I have ever had. Everything else was alright. The ambience of Le Bouchon reminded me of the street-side restaurants in Paris!

Food was great. Kudos to chef. Service though was not too good. From moment we sat down, we were made to feel like a “chore”. Kind of a bummer.

What a gem! Great spot for a date night. Service was lovely and our favorites were the French onion soup (YUM) and apple tart for dessert. Definitely will be coming back.

Best meal and wine I’ve had in my life. The pate en croute, gamay wine and scallops were amazing.

Le Bouchon is a hidden gem in Bucktown. The food is incredible and the menu constantly rotates so there’s always something new to try! Sit in Medina’s section if you can, she’s the best and always has great recs <3
