“We had a one of a kind dining experience at Gavroche last night.”

We had a one of a kind dining experience at Gavroche last night. When we entered, we were greeted warmly by Jason, the owner, and a few of the wonderful servers. From then forward, we were treated as if we were the only guests in the restaurant. Amazing food isn’t hard to find in the city of Chicago and this is no exception but the service, attention to detail, and hospitality is what puts it above and beyond. Jason even took the time to visit our table and write down recommendations for the rest of our trip. This should top your list of must-try restaurants in the city. Our highlights: the Lyonnaise, the Yellowtail Crudo (pictured here), the Duck A L’Orange, and the fries (fried in beef tallow, incredible seasoning blend, and a delicious aoili). It was all too good to get too many pictures before diving in and I’m not sorry about it.

“Excellent service and delicious, inventive food.”

Excellent service and delicious, inventive food. Went for birthday brunch - the atmosphere is cozy and warm (and bright during the day). Our server, Isabel, was friendly and helpful without being overbearing or intrusive. We had the gravalax, bacon, and fois gras french toast. So good! The french toast, especially, was rich but not heavy at all. Also loved the brunch cocktails. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the brunch menu - so many interesting options!

“Gavroche delivers an elevated brunch experience that’s well worth the visit.”

Gavroche delivers an elevated brunch experience that’s well worth the visit. The eggs Benedict was perfectly executed with rich hollandaise and expertly poached eggs, while the croissant sandwich was buttery and satisfying with an amazing coq au vin and jus. The cocktail program is also upscale and while drinks are a bit small they’re quite tasty. The service really stood out during our festival weekend visit. Our server was engaging and conversational, adding to the lively atmosphere without being intrusive. The extensive wine list is clearly a point of pride, and their rosé paired nicely with brunch. While it’s on the pricier side the quality of food and overall experience justify the cost. Gavroche strikes that balance between upscale dining and approachable weekend brunch vibes. Great spot for a special occasion or when you want to treat yourself to something beyond the typical brunch fare.

“This is truly one of the best places I’ve visited recently.”

This is truly one of the best places I’ve visited recently. I absolutely love when the presentation of dishes is not only beautiful but also shows how much the chefs genuinely care. I tried the fish, the duck, the ratatouille, and the desserts — everything was simply delicious! To my surprise, when I went to the restroom, I noticed cutouts from one of my favorite paintings, The Garden of Earthly Delights — such an unexpected and delightful coincidence! It left me amazed. A solid 5 stars for everything! P.S. If I could suggest one tiny touch — playing some French music would transport the customers straight to the Champs-Élysées! 🇫🇷✨

“We loved our dinner here.”

We loved our dinner here. The OEuf Arpège was delicious. We also liked the gnocchi and chicken but small portions. Our waitress Brookelyn was fantastic. She was personable and explained the menu well. Would definitely eat here again. Dogs are welcome on the patio.

“Cozy and romantic vibes.”

Cozy and romantic vibes. Friendly and attentive service from Brookelyn and Jason. And excellent food - we did the egg, the tartare, the poussin, the steak frites, the chocolate mousse, and the opera cake, and all of them were fantastic. The poussin in particular had an excellent mix of flavors, with the figs adding tartness to offset the sweetness of the corn and the glaze. Also loved the crunch of the chips and the lightness of the espuma in the tartare.

“The best burger in Chicago..”

The best burger in Chicago... hands down!!!! A couple friends of mine wanted to try out a new restaurant and we've been hearing serious buzz about Gavroche and in particular... about their burgers!!! I have tried ALL the best burgers in Chicago ... and this is by far my favorite. Perfectly cooked, bun super soft, beef fat fries... omg.. so good...crispy and hot... perfection! Also, their espresso martini is to die for and their lemon crème brûlée was pretty special!!! 5 big stars!

“Stopped by 2 weeks ago on a Monday and I was pleasantly surprised.”

Stopped by 2 weeks ago on a Monday and I was pleasantly surprised. 50% off bottles of wine and Caviar, how can you go wrong. Also this restaurant is very Foi forward, what does this mean... Foi on everything and with thick slices not the skimpy slice. Staff was great and very helpful with wine and food choices.
