About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines

Aboyer (ab-wah-yay), meaning, “to bark,” is a French-American brasserie as imagined by Chef Michael Lachowicz. An American-French restaurant pushing the boundaries of classic cuisine. Pulling from influences all over the world, Aboyer reconfigures classic dishes, but is still firmly planted in classic method and technique, never forgetting where we came from.

Reservations are recommended; walk-ins are welcome. Aboyer requires a credit card to secure all reservations. Please note that reservations cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled booking will incur a $25 per guest cancellation fee & no-shows will be billed at a rate of $50 per guest.

For private dining email events@georgetroisgroup.com

Aboyer is conveniently located across from the Indian Hill Metra.

Chef Micheal always does a great job. Not the usual boring dishes you find at so many cafes. Soft shell crabs cooked to perfection and flavorful steak frites with tasty fries. Don't miss the cream du chocolates pot and apple/pear cobbler.

We gathered with friends to enjoy wines from our collections paired with Aboyer’s menu. The result was a fabulous evening augmented by stellar service lead by Alfredo. He expertly facilitated our dining and wine experience with superb skill to keep 8 diners feeling well taken care of throughout the evening.

Happy hour is the best! All my favorites at half price. Currently they’re serving their spring pea soup which is outstanding. Service is great. Staff treats you like family. Aboyer is our all time favorite place on the North Shore.

We enjoyed a lovely evening at Aboyer with a friend. The food was great, we all had either short ribs or steak to accompany the red wine we brought. Service was very attentive and the dishes were wonderful. Aboyer is our favorite restaurant!
