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.

    From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by a welcoming and friendly wait staff. The food is as excellent as always---delicious, well prepared, and plated beautifully! The prices reflect the quality of each dish. This is our third time we've dined at Aboyer and would definitely return. You will dine and be pampered like royalty.

    Outstanding service. Beautiful interior. The appetizers are all delicious and highly recommend the wine suggestions paired with the entrees. My favorite place for special dinners in the north suburbs.

    We were Aboyer fans until yesterday, having enjoyed several great meals including Thanksgiving ‘23. At Thanksgiving ‘24, food was good but service was horrible. When we sat down, table setup was incomplete:. Had to ask for missing silverware and a water glass. Long gaps between courses. Large family style food platters arrived without serving utensils. Waiter was inattentive. Asked for water refills 3x; never came. Place felt like it was understaffed and chaotic. So unenjoyable, we finally asked for our desserts to go. Aboyer holds itself out as an elegant dining experience. It abjectly failed to deliver last night.
