"When you need a reliable date spot or want to eat juicy Iberico pork while your parents subject you to multiple rounds of 20 Questions (you might need some wine), head to Le Sud in Roscoe Village. This busy Mediterranean spot is charming, with walls of decorative china, a vintage-looking tin ceiling, and a chalkboard above the bar with some French sayings. But even if you flunked French 101, you can still appreciate the seasonal menu full of good food, like plump scallops or comforting chicken tagine. Plus, since Le Sud has a summer sidewalk patio and rooftop, and enough decorations during the winter to fill you up with three years-worth of holiday cheer, it’s a great place to visit year-round.
