    Reliable regular and tasty menu items are supplemented by daily specials. Daily quiche special was to die for - tasted like we were in Paris. Prices reasonable. The locals like it!

    One of our favorite places to eat when we are in Chicago. Everything on the menu is very well done, the French Onion Soup in particular is rich, delicious, and satisfying.

    To get to the profiteroles (or bread pudding, or apple tart) at the end of this Easter prix fixe, you go through two other courses (choices include salmon tartare, onion soup, quiche) first. Read more

    Omelets are wonderful. Be sure to try the bacon. And a Loyalty Special drink on the 3rd check-in.

    Best French Onion Soup on the face of the planet. Incredible Croque Monsieur, better than you'll find in France, and if you're there for lunch try the peppercorn beef sandwich...great!

    The only way this bistro could get more French is if Gérard Depardieu were tap dancing on a table. Read more

    The onion soup is sweetened by aggressive carmelization of onions within a very rich broth and topped by a thick slab of Gruyère cheese, a paragon of this old standby. Read more

    This place has a great, surprisingly well priced bunch menu, really good place to go and doesn't have the crowds of other breakfast places in the area.

    The Haricot Verts are buttery, herby and a bit salty. Order them on the side if they don't come with your dish!

    Still not sure why it's so popular; mussels pretty good, bouillabaisse not so much

    Don't go here if you have any familiarity with French cuisine. I'm pretty sure everything we had was either microwaved or came from a can.
