Best French Restaurants in Streeterville

What a true and absolute delight! My daughters and I loved La Grande Boucherie! It was one of the highlights of our recent Chicago visit. The food was wonderful, as were the wine selections (and mocktails!) and the beautiful holiday decor. We had oysters, the fromage board, a beautiful salmon, French Onion soup, salads and more. I had a lovely Sancerre, and we topped everything off with profiteroles. But the best part of the experience was the impeccable service. From the moment we left our coats at the front hosted stand to the last moments after dessert and a quick personal tour of the gorgeous second level, we were enchanted. A special thank you to Rachid from Paris for his terrific recommendations, allowing us to practice French and being a bright spot of our entire trip. Attentive, funny, kind! A server can make or break a restaurant experience, and in this case, the service shined bright! We would love to come back when we’re in the city again! Highly enjoyed!

It’s crazy to think there are only three of these restaurants left in the world. We used to go to the Oak Brook location but now we finally got to visit the one in Chicago. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that this was the original one. It’s a classic French bistro fare with amazing servers and food. I highly recommend the steak and frites!  make sure to get your reservation early because we had to dine at 4:45 PM due to later dinner times not being available

We love the restaurant. It was our anniversary. They asked whether it was a special occasion. It certainly was. It seems like restaurants do not offer anything special for these occasions any more. Their nod to the occasion was a candle on top of the dessert (which we paid for). Underwhelmed.

Fantastic food and service on a local “holiday” evening for the light festival. So pleased we chose NoMI, and the views were spectacular also. We will continue to come for special occasions or for no reason at all.

Les Nomades, one of Chicago’s finest restaurants, is a true world-class dining experience. The ambiance, service, and food are all exceptional. Our waiter, Michael, provided impeccable attention to our needs and made excellent wine pairing recommendations. It’s my go-to restaurant for fine dining and special occasions. Highly recommended!
