Les Nomades

"My wife and I visited Les Nomades for the first time this past Saturday evening and it was spectacular. This is an old school French restaurant from top to bottom. Excellent food, excellent wine list, impeccable service — attentive but not cloying — subdued light, white tablecloths, wood burning fireplace. The place exudes understated elegance you just won’t find anywhere else. Jacket required, it just fits the mood of this wonderful place, but they aren’t stuffy at all. A genuinely nice staff dedicated to making your visit a memorable one. To top it off, I inadvertently left behind my credit card and the staff mailed it back to me along with a card, hand-penned in calligraphy, thanking us for coming and wishing my wife and I a happy new year. Even something as mundane as forgetting your credit card affords an opportunity for style and grace at Les Nomades. This place is at the top of the list of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. If you’ve not been there by all means go. One of the most memorable dining experiences you can have."

"Great service! Lovely ambiance! Hazelnut Soufflé is fantastic. Lobster salad is wonderful. But the sauce for duck was average… not impressed by it. It was kind of a unbalanced asian fusion sauce. Kind of disappointed by our main entree"

"Amazing food. Their first course section is always incredible. I almost wish I could just eat those for the entire meal. Beautiful dishes. Great flavors. Excellent service. I've never had a bad experience there. I never understood the hype about souffles, until theirs. Had the grand Marnier souffle. It was incredible. Light, fluffy, a delicate cloud of grand Marnier loveliness. Also, if you like foie gras (how could you not), get whatever dish they create around it. It is always incredible. The current item, in banana water of all things, is incredible. Crispy! and sweet. Unique goodness. Love, love, love this place."

"We went to celebrate my friend birthday 2022 October. The location easy to find, this charming restaurant it is between 2 skyscrapers, very autentic. When you step inside, your timezone going back like the beginning of XXI century. You are greeted at the entrance, coats taking care , sitted like in old times, feeling like a queen. They will explain the meniu, (gourmet food) you can choose between 3 or 5 courses. Wine list endless. We choose oysters, pate, duck,halibut and 2 kinds of delicious desserts. Yes food was exceptional, (The fish wasn't my favorite, it did smelled fish, but the sauce what was coming with the fish, very good),service yes, like should be everywhere. One note for you guy's: It's not cheap, so be prepared $$$$. If you like gourmet food and French ambience and treated like a queen and you have money to spent, then this is your place... Enyoj it!"
