Welcome back to our blog series, “The Dish On”! Explore our restaurant participants and sponsors, meet the chefs, and whet your appetite for à la carte 2017! Today, #TheDishOn celebrates a new participant, Le Bouchon. We are thrilled to have this restaurant as an official participant of the à la carte 2017 French Food Festival.

With an impressive 4 stars on Yelp, Le Bouchon has been a favorite among locals and visitors since it’s opening in 1993. Listed as one the the 10 Best in Chicago by USA Today and voted one of the best French Restaurants in America by Timeout Magazine, the menu and setting will instantly transport you to France.

Tucked into the charming Bucktown neighborhood, Le Bouchon serves the classics dishes along with the providing the classic bistro atmosphere. While the restaruant isn’t very big, it’s just big enough to caputure all of the charms associated with French bistros. Happy guests swear by the French Onion soup as well as the frog’s legs, some insisting that they’re better at Le Bouchon than in France!

Weekly specials add variety to the experience, and if you stop by on a Monday all bottles of wine are half priced (they currently have all of the bottles of Grand Cru Comtes d’Eguisheim in Chicago, an Alsacian Pinot Gris). Tuesday nights feature a prix-fixé menu so that you can pick your favorites from each of the categories without worrying about price. And if you have trouble choosing, one of the expert staff will be happy to offer suggestions and pairings of wine to make sure that your meal is the best it can be.

The small space and intimate setting makes Le Bouchon the perfect place to meet friends and family for dinner, not unlike the corner bistro in Paris that it’s modeled after.
