Le Petit Paris

this is one of the best restaurants I've been to, the waiter-owner was captivating and made our evening wonderful, he is an incredibly polite and cheerful person, the food was also delicious, the atmosphere in the restaurant is wonderful, this is an amazing place, my friends and I left completely delighted. We thank the owner and employees for the warm and sweet welcome, we will definitely come back again 💙💛

Lovely experience even if the place is a bit dated and somewhat dark. The food was good and the service, though perhaps a bit quirky, good as well. Loved the authentic French cuisine that was straightforward and not haughty.

Monsieur Alain is a joy! He’s a no-nonsense restauranteur who is very knowledgeable and serious about food. He owns & runs this small old school joint and wears many hats: host, server, bartender, & chef. Last night me and my boyfriend started with a bottle of red wine, escargot, and French onion soup. I selected the duck entree and he chose the liver. Of course we finished it off with creme brûlée. We will definitely return! Prices are very economical. If you’re looking for an Instagram aesthetic or Michelin star price point bragging rights, then this isn’t the place for you. If you’re a foodie then you definitely need to visit this place.

This place is amazing. A hidden gem. Our table had corn soup, onion soup, cheese plate to start. For mains we had steak frites and gnocchi. Everything was delicious. The owner is so nice and accommodating. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Such a great find! Tucked away in an innocuous condo building is this little corner of France. Authentic, fresh dishes served sometimes by the chef himself. Make sure to stop by to make reservations in advance as seating is limited.

A small piece of Paris right here in the Windy City! Don’t go for a quick bite, but for a dining experience. The food is amazing, and despite what some say about the service - it is actually top notch with a very personal touch. It is literally a Parisian experience - enjoy the slower paced dining experience instead of your typical American table service.

This was one of the best french restaurant experiences I have had. Allen, the chef and host is a delight, very charming and excellent host. One of the best onion soups I have had in America. The atmosphere is great too, with french music playing and feels very much french.

A true gem! Authentic French restaurant with outstanding food. Small quaint cozy just like you would expect a French Restaurant and Alan the owner is magnificent and a gracious host. Hard to get in since there are only 8 tables but worth it if you get the chance. We have been in Chicago for five days in the last two months and ate at Le Petit Paris three of those nights. A+++
