Steaks, oysters, burgers, fries, cocktails, and wine
"Drawing inspiration from classic French bistros, this charming Logan Square spot adds plenty of its own modern touches. That bend-the-rules attitude applies to happy hour too, which is available 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and 5 to 10 p.m. on Monday. Start with $2 oysters and $5 marinated olives before moving on to a $15 cheeseburger (veggie option available). Enjoy with $8 glasses of wine or $9 martinis. Save room for the wonderfully weird pairing of fries with vanilla soft serve." - Lisa Shames
"A casual French wine bistro and bar that leans on an owner-sommelier’s expertise, offering a rotating list of mostly $16 cocktails (with additional happy-hour discounts) and an extensive, predominantly French wine selection that includes grower Champagnes and skin-contact bottles. The kitchen, led by a chef with wine-bar experience, focuses on seafood- and vegetable-friendly preparations, exemplified by seasonal plates such as delicata squash tempura brightened with fermented lime, black garlic, and soy." - ByKristin Braswell
"Brunch at chef Madalyn Durant’s Midwestern spin on a French bistro is focused on breakfast sandwiches like the B.E.C., an English muffin loaded with barbecue pork belly, scrambled eggs, cheddar, and chili jam, and a fried tofu sandwich topped with pickled onion and maple mustard. Start the meal with the purple beet pickled deviled eggs or a canale and get that caffeine fix from an espresso tonic or a cold brew negroni. Book a table through Resy." - Sam Nelson
"While this Logan Square wine bar and bistro is a terrific neighborhood spot worthy of a visit any day of the week, the French-inspired menu from chef Madalyn Durrant offers plenty of dishes that offer a special-occasion vibe — from black truffle rigatoni and pork belly Normandie to chocolate mousse. Its cozy ambiance, reasonably priced wines, and uber-friendly service have love written all over them." - Lisa Shames
"At the Logan Square location, the $45 dinner can be a trap depending on entree choice: diners who pick steak tartare or steak frites pay about 20 percent less overall, while vegetarian or other selections like the rye milk bread and black truffle rigatoni actually end up costing more than normal." - Sam Nelson
