Argot

"A French bistro and wine bar tucked inside the Lincoln Park outpost of retail wine mini-chain Verve Wine, Argot lures Francophiles with a wine menu that strikes a delicate balance between benchmark wines and contemporary, out-of-the-box styles. It’s a stylish yet mellow retreat near the DePaul University campus with familiar French fare like steak frites and croque madame." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

"An intimate French bistro inside the Chicago outpost of retail mini-chain Verve Wine, permanently closed after less than a year in business. The wine shop remains open and the team plans to use the former Argot space for events." - Naomi Waxman

"Verve Wine’s French reboot Argot serves classic bistro fare during weekend brunch including a spinach and leek quiche, steak & eggs and a croque madame made with truffled mornay sauce, plus gluten-free buckwheat pancakes on the sweet side. Get creative with the build-your-own spritz bar or choose from one of four bloody marys. Book a table through Resy." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

"Dustin Wilson, master sommelier and co-founder of Argot in Chicago, which he describes as a brasserie with midwestern touches." - Jaya Saxena

"Decorated with cheerful, wine-themed art, Lincoln Park newcomer Argot offers an extensive collection of bottles to pair with their food or take home. While the restaurant offers all the meaty French standards like duck confit and steak frites, it ensures vegetarians won’t be left out by serving mushroom escargot, carrot tartare and onion soup made with vegetable stock instead of the traditional beef. Book a table through Resy." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
