Lardon

“Lardon is a must-stop in Chicago.”

Lardon is a must-stop in Chicago. The charcuterie board was outstanding—thoughtfully curated, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. Every item complemented the next, and it was clear a lot of care goes into the details. Delicious, cozy spot with great vibes and great service. We’ll absolutely be back!

Given the warmer temps in November, we dined here for an early lunch and asked to sit outside which they happily obliged. We ordered a pastrami on rye which was delicious. The marbled rye was lightly toasted and had the best crunch to complement the dressing and meat. Each bite had a nice blend of all the flavors. The chips were the best chips we’ve ever had. A local Pilsner was a great addition to the dish. Some people have commented on the service and while it was quick, their pleasant nature, surroundings and delicious food makes that unnoticeable. This dining experience made me happy!

Had the pleasure of eating so much food at lardon tonight it was absolutely phenomenal. We ordered a charcuterie board and a sandwich to start and ended with a 10/10 steak frites and crab pasta. The food was so flavorful and absolutely amazing. The only thing better than our food was our server Meg! She was so helpful with what cheeses and meats to start with, incredibly knowledgeable and had such a great energy that perfected our dinner. Thank you so much Lardon we will be coming back asap.

“Michelin Guide is right on.”

Michelin Guide is right on. Too many things on the menu I want to try. Tip: if you've had a lot of Reubens in your life, don't let that stop you from ordering a Reuben here. You've not tasted one like this.

“I had a nice time here- definitely a unique experience, as it was my first time at a place so dedicated to charcuterie.”

I had a nice time here- definitely a unique experience, as it was my first time at a place so dedicated to charcuterie. Our group was large, but we ordered in pairs. I went with the chef’s board, making a few small changes. Not every meat and cheese was a hit for me, but that’s on me, I ordered without much preference in mind. Surprisingly, they only had two main course options, which was a first for me, but the meat was excellent. We also enjoyed a variety of wine, cocktails, and beer, and everyone seemed happy with their drinks. Service was good, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The only downside- the area isn’t the best to be in late at night. And parking on the street was a drag.

Decided to stop in for lunch and we were not disappointed. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The food was incredible, I got the Ruben and my boyfriend got the Charlie (??). The portion size was great and the flavors were incredible.

“We were in the neighborhood and craving sandwiches for lunch when we stumbled upon Lardon.”

We were in the neighborhood and craving sandwiches for lunch when we stumbled upon Lardon. The ambiance is really nice, they have a medium sized patio that's fantastic for summer days. We ordered the Hotel California and The Charlie (special) sandwiches, and recommend them both! The only thing I would change to the Hotel California is adding more sauce, as it was a little bit dry. The sandwiches come with their house chips and pickles, which are both excellent! The service was stellar - we were sat in a table outside even though we didn't have a reservation, and our server was super attentive. Overall, I highly recommend!

“Easily the best sandwich shop in Chicago.”

Easily the best sandwich shop in Chicago. Their meats are all made in house and really steal the show. I've had both the reuban and the Italiano and both are fantastic

Last week was my 2nd visit here and I'd be here every week if I lived in Logan Square because I love charcuterie and cheese 🧀 boards for dinner. I arrived here during their happy hour so I chose a simple three cheese board with olives 🫒 bread 🍞 almonds grapes 🍇 jam vegetables and extremely delicious cheeses. I also picked the mussels on toast points from the happy hour menu. Everything was extremely tasty and very generously portioned. Alex was my server and he had a great enthusiasm and passion for everything. I also picked a housemade strawberry 🍓 gelato for dessert 🍨 which was creamy and bursting with natural strawberries. Highly recommend this adorable wine 🍷 bar/charcuterie Cafe if you love meats 🍖 and cheeses. Great atmosphere and there is an adjacent speakeasy which offers its own unique menu of drinks 🍸 and snacks.

“Love love love this place.”

Love love love this place! Sandwiches are always amazing, the Reuben is perfection. Their boards are delicious and they have a good selection of draft beers and wine. The rotating summer specials are always a treat, the Argentinian steak sandwich was the best! The staff are friendly, great service.
