Tourists and shoppers can't resist this bustling, vibrant bistro just off the Mag Mile.

Shoppers stumble upon this chic bistro on their way to the Mag Mile or Water Tower Place, which makes for a nice stopping point from maxing out the credit cards. The setting is just divine, befitting the elegance of the Gold Coast; floral murals grace the walls, while a patio opens to a wide sidewalk and the beautiful skyline. Stylish French cuisine hits the classics, like a crisp Nicoise Salade with crispy haricots verts, garlicky mussels, Duck L'Orange and Steak Au Poivre. A New Orleans jazz ensemble on Sundays compels visitors to drop by for brunch.
