Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Romantic

One of Chicago’s finest dining experiences awaits you in this elegant town home setting that balances formality and friendliness. Your dinner may be paired with fine wines, as uncommon ingredients come together in perfect harmony. In operation since 1978, Les Nomades remains true to its distinctive character as an oasis of civilized tranquility amidst the bustling activity of its Streeterville location. Culinary creations delight the most discriminating palates. Savor Sautéed Foie Gras, or Lobster Ravioli with seared scallops; Roasted Breast and Confit Leg of Duck, or Duo of Roasted Partridge and Bison. Artisan cheeses are extraordinary and the pastries are sublime.
Please keep in mind that proper attire is required including a jacket for gentlemen.

Lovely restaurant and exquisite food. It’s one of our favorite “special occasion” restaurants in Chicago and it never disappoints. Not trendy, just wonderful French cuisine with traditional formality that is difficult to find these days. I would go for the dessert soufflés alone, but the menu overall is excellent!

Classic in every way, impeccable service, excellent quality food, excellent souffles. Traditional French preparation, presentation and service, but friendly and not pompous. Great for special celebrations.

From amuse bouche to bonbons, superlatives barely scrape the surface of the fare and experience served up by well-trained, genial staff. If saffron is your go-to, the swordfish entré would be a good choice; for carnivores, the short-ribs are succulent and ‘knives unnecessary’ bites. Soufflés are masterfully crafted, subtly flavored, and good to the last spoonful. The crackling fireplace in the Salon de Thé provided a warm welcome on the cold solstice. Altogether a pleasurable experience.

Classic French prepared well. Stand outs: Foie Gras, duck confit, short rib, and swordfish. And soufflés. Spacious dining room with wood burning fireplace - doesn’t get more cozy. And nice to dress up for dinner for a change. Always a treat to dine here.
