Froggy’s French Café has been serving Chicago’s North Shore award winning French cuisine for almost 40 years. Known for our ambiance, friendly knowledgeable service and presentation we serve the freshest seafood and vegetables and steaks.

We recommend starting with a glass of wine, a bowl of French Onion Soup or escargot appetizer, and then move on to our seasonal seafood mains, fresh pastas or our classic steak and frits. Froggy’s diverse menu is geared to satisfy seafood aficionados, vegetarians and all omnivores alike. Always fresh, always French and always a fantastic dining experience.

Located in Highwood, IL nestled in between Highland Park and Lake Forest, come dine with us to see why Froggy’s is known as North Shore’s hidden gem.

Fabulous restaurant! Owner/operators take pride in their establishment and provide cozy decor/excellent food and personable service all for a reasonable price making dining there a good value. Can't think of another restaurant that does it all as well as this one.

Froggy's is a wonderful dining experience. The elaborate menu provides a great variety of meat and fish and the food is high quality and well prepared. Even the bread and french cultured butter is special and you don't need to ask for it. Thierry still has what it takes. Try the Cassoulet paired with the Cote du Rhone. It was fabulous.

Froggy’s has been our go to restaurant for decades. Unfortunately, food quality has greatly deteriorated and is certainly not worthy of its past history and present costs.

I took my mom to Froggys 30 years ago. When we came back it hadn’t changed a bit. Outdated and old is an understatement. The food was sub-par and didn’t warrant the prices. Very disappointed.
