One of Chicago’s finest dining experiences awaits you in this elegant town home setting that balances formality and friendliness. Your dinner may be paired with fine wines, as uncommon ingredients come together in perfect harmony. In operation since 1978, Les Nomades remains true to its distinctive character as an oasis of civilized tranquility amidst the bustling activity of its Streeterville location. Culinary creations delight the most discriminating palates. Savor Sautéed Foie Gras, or Lobster Ravioli with seared scallops; Roasted Breast and Confit Leg of Duck, or Duo of Roasted Partridge and Bison. Artisan cheeses are extraordinary and the pastries are sublime.

    One of the finest restaurants in Chicago. Quiet, romantic, and elegant. Not cheap (yes expensive), and not energetic and trendy. If your looking for a memorable experience with the best food and service, you won't be disappointed.

    Terrific birthday dinner with the usual outstanding food, service, and ambiance. Adam our waiter was outstanding. Wines are somewhat surprisingly affordable in context. Look forward to returning.

    This is one of the consistently best, overall restaurants in Chicago. Wonderfully executed French food, inviting environment and superb service. If tables are available near the fireplace, it is a perfectly cozy place to enjoy a comforting meal. Attention to details and a classic menu.

    The food at Les Nomades is exquisite and never disappoints. My only wish was to have a slightly larger portion of the seared foie gras

    It’s always an absolute pleasure to dine at Les Nomades! Great food, superior service and the most beautiful restaurant in the city. Every dinner here transports us to our favorite fine dining restaurants in Paris!

    I booked this for my husband's birthday as a treat. The evening started well - we had a warm welcome upon our arrival and shown immediately to our table at 7pm. We were offered a glass of champagne which arrived nicely chilled and promptly. We appreciated that the restaurant was quiet so we could talk properly and there is lots of space between tables, again which we appreciated. There were only two other couples in the restaurant, with no other guests arriving later, which meant it lacked a bit of atmosphere. The service was attentive and friendly and the tasting style menu expensive. We had high hopes. The food came and was tasty and generous portions but not fine dining (expected given the price). The bottle of wine was delicious (the wine list is great and impressive, although very much high end in terms of pricing). The evening turned sour at the end as I paid a $600 bill for two people, including drinks, wine, tasting menu and a tip of $60. The waiter approached me with fury on his face and demanded to know if I had offended him. He humiliated me in front of my husband and made me feel small. He told me patronisingly that the tip was derisory, and due to my embarrassment, I increased it. I wish I hadn't. He approached this situation so unprofessionally that he didn't deserve. The mood of our evening was ruined.
