Jean Claude Poilevey is a veteran of the restaurant industry and a savvy Chef . The food is simple, intelligent and well executed. The place is small, busy and very French. It feels like you are in Ly

One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago, and definitely the best French one here (since Il Sardine closed). Lots of gems in that wine list , and the mussels were incredible.

Bouillabaisse is orgasmic, literally. Great Rhone wines . Always a great place to celebrate and indulge in the wonders of French cuisine . It's just like when I lived in Grenoble! Bon apetit mes amis.

French onion soup is rich and generously-portioned. Mussels are fresh and served in a buttery cream sauce . Mac and cheese side is also served very creamy. Very much feels like a quaint French cafe .

Chicago magazine

Garlic-and-thyme-scented roast chicken , a bountiful bouillabaisse , and steak paired with irresistible frites make for great entrees. Cozy quarters and congenial staff add extra appeal. Read more

There’s something magical about Tuesdays at Le Bouchon, when the entire menu turns into a $25 three-course fête.

Tyler McPheeters

Tuesday prix fixe menu is a great deal.

Zeke Franco

Try the Les Moules - Steamed mussels in a garlic white wine . Yum!!!

Escargots need more seasoning. Steak frites meat was very tough.

They didn’t honor the $200 gift certificate I purchased because of COVID. Kind of a bush league play

Bistro Campagne

There isn’t a bad thing on the menu, but if we had to limit ourselves, we’d go with onion soup, mussels steamed in Belgian ale, roasted chicken and pan-seared hanger steak flanked by amazing frites. - Time Out Chicago

Cheap, well-made cocktails, a cool staff, and great music (especially soul night on the first Wednesday of the month). They only take cash and there's not a TV in the joint. - Diego Rufo
