- Christopher FlossDecember 1, 2014Excellent breakfast dishes. The pastries are very fresh (the Pecan Roll is amazing!). Also, the breakfast flatbread is a must (bacon, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cheese--all on a thin, crispy flatbread)
Serious EatsMay 22, 2013The shells of the macarons are satin smooth and beautifully colored. Most have a great texture. The standout flavors include the choco-coconut, which tastes like a Samoa, and the mint.
BravoNovember 11, 2010The only place in Chicago with authentic canele de Bordeaux. May I also say they are some of the best I have had in America. A canele and espresso and you will be transformed to Paris. -Malika Ameen,
VDecember 1, 2017Great desserts especially rosé macaroon, and coffee. They write different things on coffee, which is so cute. Staff are super nice,no parking
Ghadi TayebMay 8, 2017If you go to this place order the cheesecake it is out of this world. And try creme brûlée and pistachio white chocolate 😍👌🏽
LAMIAOctober 16, 2018I don’t mind coming everyday for this( PG breakfast flatbread) very delicious and their black coffee is great too ❤️
Time Out ChicagoMay 15, 2012In the morning, they’re packed with tourists chowing croissants. In the evening, you have the place to yourself. Which is curious, because we love the simple charcuterie plates and Alsatian tarts. Read more
XinnieMay 28, 2018It has become one of my top 3 favorite brunch places in Chicago 😊 the place isn’t big thou so expect a line if you go during peak hours.
G🐞rkemNovember 30, 2014Breakfast is perfect 👍 Decoration is so warm and pleasant 😍 i love this atmosphere 💖 Service is fast and nice.
Mohammed Hassan-AliNovember 23, 2014Omg I love this place. Great scene and the cheesecake and nutella macaroon are too die for.
Crain's Chicago BusinessJune 20, 2012A cheerful morning spot. Try the house-made granola or the the European breakfast with charcuterie, croissant, baguette and butter, and an excellent cappuccino ($21). Read more
ISC ChicagoJanuary 26, 2020Chicken Tart Flambé (onion jam, pulled chicken, goat cheese, spinach, mozzarella)
- Christopher FlossMay 8, 2016Yet another great #breakfast experience at Pierrot Gourmet. The breakfast croissant is a must try! Great cappuccino too!
If you're a fan of sinfully good chocolate cake, walk straight to the glass pastry case and order the Chocolate Obsession. That is all.
Brunch menu is great - love the frittata. Macaroons to go are a great idea if you happen to be passing through- At lunch time, quiches are heavenly with flat bread a close second. Tea is served the way it should be. Service can be slow at times.
- Christopher FlossMay 28, 2016#breakfast in #chicago doesn't get better than the croissant sandwich at Pierrot Gourmet. See for yourself!
Gloria ChinJanuary 17, 2013smooth as satin & vibrantly colored shells. try the choco-coconut (fancy samoa) and mint (think thin mints!) macarons for something different!!
Stina P.October 19, 2016one of the best places to stop and people watch or pass the time with a cup of coffee off of Michigan Avenue
Quaint French bistro. Breakfast is fabulous. Delicious pastries.
SaraJune 20, 2013Macarons!! Decisions, decisions... Nutella- by far the best!! Try birthday cake, strawberry, chocolate, & pistachio. Rich, decadent, flavorful, & superb quality!
Helen ParkJune 20, 2016Cheesecake here is always on point. The raspberry tart did not taste as good as it appeared.
My favorite breakfast spot! Wonderful, relaxed service. Fresh ingredients...and delish macarons!!!! Flatbreads gr8 for sharing.
Erin FlahertyMarch 5, 2014Service is amazing! Made my coffee with the wrong syrup and were very gracious and didn't charge me the $6 bucks.- The very best breakfast in Chicago. Do not delay. Go now & Order everything!
Keira AlexanderSeptember 11, 2013Get the Chicken popover. One of the best things I've eaten in my LIFE!
CarolAugust 31, 2015Slow service, but good coffee & desserts. Also the French Onion soup is really good & authentic- Perfect place to relax with pot of tea, dessert, love the quiche! Warm, friendly vibe. Outside of The Peninsula at the corner.
Food is delish, soup du jur is always good. A little bit of Paris in Chicago.
David AdlerMarch 15, 2011Possibly the best coffee in the city. Try the tarte flambé, all the pizza topping goodness without the carb heavy crust guilt- Ryan AlafrizMarch 27, 2015Disappointed to see they didn't have quiche, but the popover was way better than a quiche could have been anyway. Delicious!
Teri PytelApril 30, 2013Peanut butter &jelly macaroon and caramel cream puff. The latter being the better.
The best chocolate pastry in Chicago is here. It's called Chocolate Obsession.
Noor KAugust 17, 2015SO BAD. You should leave before even going in. The food was oily, salty, and the chef couldn't even perfect a simple burger patty. This restaurant is definitely not in the Peninsula's standards.
