It took us forever to get a reservation but I think it's completely worth it. I recommend their French onion soup and the tarte aux champignons. They have a great picturesque, quiet patio that is the perfect spot for a romantic evening date.
Beautiful garden with excellent array of modern food. I found the chicken dish slightly on the heavy side so if you’re in the mood for a hearty dish, which I wasn’t at the time, this would be a good fit for you. Whilst the server recommended fantastic wine pairings with a beautiful attitude, she did give a wrong dish and forgot an ordered beer for one person at our table which made the experience a little less professional. Noticeably long wait for food order as well hence a 4 and not a 5.
It was a lovely romantic setting (we sat in the backyard) to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was super nice and welcoming and the food! Fantastic all around.
Up to the year before Covid-19, Bistro Campagne was a reasonably priced destination to refurbish memories of Parisian cafes and brasseries, the traditional and the avant garde. With Covid, the decline in quality began and prices rose. I gave it another chance this week, but was woefully disappointed. The chef seems to know his business, as evidenced by the excellent stock of moules meuniere, but the mussels were just okay. French onion soup lacked the usual crust of bread to carry the cheese, and the soup seemed oddly and sadly sweet, perhaps from a dash of sugar rather than from the onion, Rainbow trout was dry, without the moist succulence proper to the fish, and three slabs at $35 seems pushing the limit. The chicken in a mushroom cream sauce and festooned with nicely crisped and flavorful onions curls gave me hope for dessert. which the dessert itself quickly dashed. A $10 inch-and-a-half- wide wedge of lemon tart tasted like lemon pie from Jewel, the supermarket version providing something like 8 of those $10 portions for about $7. The cheese cake tasted like putty or wet cement. Coffee was a small light in the darkness, fairly close to the Gallic variety. Still, why should they change? By 8 p.m. every table was filled, and people were happily gorging on mediocre food. What they didn't finish, they could take home in awkward cardboard to-go boxes, a final insult to people who paid close to $200 a couple to fool themselves into thinking, "This is why French food is famous. Wow!"
Food experience was perfect. Exquisite patio dining with a wonderful server experience featuring Taylor. Support staff was attentive and prompt. Did the charcuterie and maison salad with a bottle of champagne, would recommend anyone looking for a fun evening in Lincoln square.
Intimate eatery serving excellent cuisine. Our pork belly appetizer had a delicious sauce with whole carrots. The baguette had a perfect thin crispy crust with a warm inside served with honeycomb, butter and roasted garlic cloves. Could've eaten a dozen of these.The salmon had a tasty seasoning on top with a generous bed of mushrooms on pureed peas. The cassoulet was hearty with sausage, leg and thigh and pork. The bavette steak was tender and juicy, once again, with an excellent sauce.We ordered the chocolate pot de creme, lemon on pistachio shortbread topped with a flamed meringue, and the bread pudding with figs. All were excellent. Cappuccino froth was a bit on the stiff side, but the port was nice. The Trappist Belgian ale was yummy and played well with all the flavors.It is pricey, but we were celebrating a birthday and it was worth it for a special occasion. With tip it was $260 for three of us.
Had a lovely time here with friends a few weeks ago! It was so nice to have delicious French food in Chicago, and the waitstaff was phenomenal.I don't think we had a single dish we disliked, but you should definitely try the mussels, peach tartine, chicken dish, the lemon tart, and the bread pudding. All in all - DELICIOUS!The space is very cozy with dim lighting and small rooms. Two unisex bathrooms all on the ground floor, but there are some small change in floor heights that may be difficult for some walkers.
We go here every year. Excellent French onion soup and steak frites is top shelf. Yet, any pork dish is the main dish you should go with. The beer selection is outstanding and end with the bread pudding!
The fod is excellent. The staff both friendly and professional. The restaurant and outdoor garden are beautiful.
We have eaten here many times and keep coming back. The atmosphere is lovely, the simple dishes are cooked perfectly and the sauces are amazing.
