Quiche. Need I say more.
by Michael C.
Get the sun dried tomato and goat cheese frittata! That plus the French press coffee equals a thoroughly fantastic brunch.
by Emma C.
The 5 course tasting is great. Best wine pairings of many French style restaurants I've been to. Waitresses are so friendly and accomodating. Bread isn't that good. BEST DISH is the FOIE GRAS!!!

Best French Hotel in Chicago!
by براندا .
Amazing food just be prepared to wait a very long time for your service.
by Vance K.
Try the salmon. Delectable!
by Heather W.
The well-seasoned CDA burger patty feels smaller than its ten ounces. This makes the smoky bacon, tangy Boursin aioli, crispy fried onions and pretzel bun perfect accompaniments, rather than overkill.

The apple bacon quiche was incredible! And don't forget to pick a chocolate croissant from the basket!
by Mandy S.
The bakery basket for breakfast is amazing!
by ludwig d.
Market place fish sandwich is perfect for lunch. The salmon is perfectly cooked at dinner. The waitstaff is impeccable. They also make their own goat cheese in house!
by Mira U.
Don't ever order the tomato soup!!!! Ever!!! Everything else is delicious
by Liz D.
The servers say bonjour and merci. The men look like the French men who appear in romantic daydreams, and they're whispering: “Try the Nutella pancakes.” Or the croissants. Or the crepes…

One of the best meals I have had. Every course was plated to perfection with little surprises in each dish.
by Ronny B.
Bartender Jeremy will set you up with some of the finest cocktails around. This man is the King.

The executive lunch is great with its basket of little breads (the brioche is very good, parole de français)
by F G.
Make sure you say "Bonjour" to the hostess!

Sunday-through-Tuesday Neighborhood Friends’ Menu
by Peter M.
Teatime is elegant but playful at the French restaurant at the Sofitel, where treats such as cranberry lollipops and passion fruit éclairs are offered with Harney & Sons teas.
by Time Out Chicago Kids
The French Press Coffee is amazing for breakfast

At Sunday brunch, order the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. Not on the menu, but they're happy to make it for you.
by Justin B.
New executive chef Greg Biggers, a Morimoto vet, takes a Midwestern-inspired approach to French fare, using classic cooking techniques with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers.

CDA Burger is probably the best burger I've ever had. If you're even considering the burger, get it!
by Palmer E.
There's a big leather booth upstairs second floor | secluded | ideal make out spot #chicago
by Shave R.
Go for brunch and order the crabcake benedict. A little pricey, but SO worth it - especially the basket of French venoisseries that comes with your meal!
by Alex
Great French food here. Get the duck confit.
by Nate L.
The $22 four-course prix fixe served all at once, bento box-style, offers great selections from the larger menu and a pair of mini-desserts.
by Crain's Chicago Business
