Chabrol

Decided to spend a special occasion at Chabrol, and was not disappointed. Main takeaway: the food and service are fantastic. I’ve had less expertly crafted dishes for much more money in this city. That said, read below for more details. Drink~ The wine list, while shorter than other similar restaurants, is sure to please with selections from quality French estates. Note that sometimes it’s more economical to get glasses opposed to bottles—we could each have two glasses of the *very tasty* Chardonnay and still spend less than the bottle. Otherwise, we had water (sparkling and still is offered), sparkling wine (absolutely splendid), and an americano (they offer a good selection of espresso bevs). I did hear another table ask for ice wine, and it seems they do not carry that currently. Food~ More good to say! We had the foie gras small plate to start. In all honesty, it was the least impressive part of our meal, but was still quite good! It came with a very tart berry sauce that is definitely noteworthy. Our mains were show stealers. We ordered the pork shoulder and Ttoro (a bouillabaisse). Both were exquisite. It was cute that they provided me a proper knife for the pork considering it was so tender, I never needed it. Everything was cooked to perfection—the temperature at which everything was served was even perfect. For dessert, we settled for classic crème brûlée. It was traditional in the best sense—everything it should be. Other desserts seemed great and more elaborate (the crème brûlée was the least expensive choice at $12), but we wanted something simple. Service~ Waters never emptied and our waiter was knowledgeable and kind. It seemed like all the staff genuinely enjoy their jobs and wanted to provide great service. They alone are reason to return.

We had a delightful lunch on a sunny March day. The Apple Tarte with Calvados Sabayon was outstanding. Back again on a brilliant June afternoon. Always outstanding. The Ttoro was superb as were the oysters. Paired with the sparkling wine worked so very well.

Chabrol is a great spot to go to. Really well cooked food and a solid everyday menu that meets most tastes and diets. I would highly recommend this for foodies, quiet lunchers, couples, or if you want to have an extended lunch. Its a very small intimate setting and you'll get to know your server really well. It's impeccable so it's fun. In the warmer months there is outdoor seating which more than doubles their capacity. Take advantage!

Nice little Yorkville gem. You Have to try their dessert and food/service is great however limited # of seating. Very nice please to eat in the summer.

A very small Paris style bistro. 5 tables for 2, a counter with some additional seats and a seasonal patio that closed in October. Amazing service, innovative, tasty food and a good wine list. We were a party of 4 and enjoyed a "family style" meal that was expertly selected by Andrew-our server who also recommended great wine. We will certainly be back. The only "negative" is that because of its size and ceiling height, the restaurant is noisy.

The place is a hidden jewel in the Yorkville District. Service is excellent and dishes are tasty. However, it doesnt have many varieties, only 4/5 for each category. It took about 20 mins for food to be served.

Had a great lunch with clients. They were very impressed with their quiche. Nice selection of Champagne and Rosè. Staff very knowledgeable and efficient with service. Look forward to eating there again.

Amazing service and the food is spot on! I love the little location. Oysters were phenomenal as well. Def coming back!

Nestled in the heart of Yorkville, 156 Cumberland is a must try. The food was delicious and I had a great server recommending what to get, and if it was enough for the table. I could not think of a dish I didn't like! Highly recommend the tartar, potato pancake and banana milk tiramisu. The atmosphere is also perfect for date nights, casual and special occasions. Will definitely comeback.
