About
Bistronomic — well-regarded french in Gold Coast. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to. You can taste the generations behind this. "The duck confit was tender with crispy skin, the French toast was rich, custardy and decadent" — Cecile Chung

I went to Bistronomic for brunch to celebrate 2 birthdays. The service was not great.
I came in on Christmas Eve to see if I could sit at the bar.

“French cuisine during restaurant week, woth the wine pairing and dessert.”
French cuisine during restaurant week, woth the wine pairing and dessert. It was fantastic, didn't leave hungry as the plates are smaller but very rush, and the dessert was outstanding!

“Their version of a baked Alaska is delicious.”
Their version of a baked Alaska is delicious. They don’t have hot chocolate on the menu but the server got it for me anyway. They all have French accents. Do with that what you will.

“Went for brunch today.”
Went for brunch today. Service was friendly. The food was amazing. Had duck confit with the brioche French toast. The duck confit was tender with crispy skin, the French toast was rich, custardy and decadent. Also had steak frites. Steak was perfectly cooked and the frites came out piping out. Also had the smoked salmon club sandwich. Was a generous serving and very tasty. It’s a beautiful bistro - the chairs were so comfy. Great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

“Cozy french restaurant.”
Cozy french restaurant. Grilled cheese sandwich and the omelette du jour were good. The salad accompanying the grilled cheese and mocktail were outstanding. Properly served tea. Noise level is low (french music). Waitress was attentive an dpolite. Indoor and outdoor seating in the Summer. Overall, great place for brunch.

“While on vacation in Chicago a local told us that if we enjoy authentic French food that we had to go to Bistronomic.”
While on vacation in Chicago a local told us that if we enjoy authentic French food that we had to go to Bistronomic. I don’t think I’ve actually ever had authentic French cuisine, but now that I have I will definitely be seeking it out in the future. This was an absolute treat and a must visit if you are in Chicago. The gourmet grilled cheese sandwich was everything it promised to be and I cannot wait to return to Chicago so that I can have that sandwich again. And don’t skip out on dessert. It is worth every single calorie and then some.

“Tonight we discovered Bistronomic for our last dinner in Chicago.”
Tonight we discovered Bistronomic for our last dinner in Chicago. It was fantastic. A very authentic French-style bistro. The staff is French, the chef is French (he came out to the dining room and asked everyone how their meal was) and the food was amazing. This has rocketed to the top of our list for go-to restaurants in Chicago. If you come here and don't eat there you are really missing something.

“Incredible brunch experience.”
Incredible brunch experience! Sandra took great care of us, and the entire staff was attentive and welcoming. The service was seamless, with plenty of helpful hands making everything run smoothly. The food was absolutely amazing—rich and dynamic, yet still light and balanced. Truly a beautiful French dining experience! Orange French toast was to die for.

“We love coming here on the weekends.”
We love coming here on the weekends! Their brunch options are on point. Everything was yummy but we love their omelettes and the French toast is absolutely delicious! Coffee is light and tasty and the atmosphere is cozy and romantic. We would highly suggest coming here on weekends! We also have had their Restaurant Weeks tasting menu and that was delicious as well. Would also recommend coming here for that too!
