Obélix

"Beautiful beautiful evening! Can’t say enough good things about this place. Everything was excellent from FOH to BOH to bar and then table. Grateful to have experienced — had been on my list for a very long time. Their menu is extremely unique and creative, touching on French classics with some updates twists. The night went like this … Oysters, Caviar tartlettes, Foie gras on crispy rice, Gem salad, French onion soup, Pasta with king crab and mussels, Boeuf côte cooked perfectly, and Port and a Swiss roll cake with rosemary ice cream. WHEW!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🥵🤤 Gotta give it up for the amazing staff here. Thank you for a beautiful night!"

"Dinner at Obelix was one of our highlights on our visit to Chicago. The food was fabulous and the staff was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. We went there for the foie gras and was not disappointed. We had the Macaron au Foie Gras, the Foie Gras and Crispy Rice, the Foie-Co, the Terrine au Foie Gras, a Caviar Tartlette, a Dungeness Crab Tartlette, some cheese and the Souffle. Everything was delicious. Our waiter, Ryan was excellent. He introduced us to the manager, Patrick who was happy to hear that we loved all the foie gras on the menu. Ryan also introduced us to Julietta, a waitress that was very knowledgeable about the Uptown neighborhood since we had plans to be there the next day. Everyone was so helpful which really made our visit to Chicago enjoyable."

"I have had lunch, dinner, half-price bottle Monday, and Obelix conquers every time. However, the steak frites sandwich for brunch is a weekend getaway. This handheld magic is the finest culinary staycation in town. It tastes just as good as it looks. One bite and you’re considering ordering another. Pair responsibly with the Moroccan carrots, and layer in a French red. The pistachio croissant. A must have! Made possible by a very welcoming, authentic, and knowledgeable staff. See you soon!"

"Just the best. From the baked goods to the entrees, it was everything I wanted and more. Great service, delicious food, and beautiful space. Can’t wait to go here again!"

"Went for Valentines brunch! Very interesting atmosphere. Our server was very over the top and pretentious and some people there seemed similar so the vibe was a little stuffy and off. Pastries were insane! Order then first because they do sell out (2 of the 3 sold out when the next table was seated). Some things were amazing like the pastries and the French toast but the bloody Mary (lacked flavor overall), poutine (super overpowered, not enough fries to balance it out and curds were melted too much) amd the sorbet with rum and passion fruit was salty with ice crystals. Definitely get the caviar sandwhich if you can! I read reviews that its all butter flavored and did not find that to be the case at all! Very complex flavor (salt and vinegar chips!) And just delicious. Things I would skip: duck salad (just a huge duck hash on top of greens), bloody Mary (no flavor), poutine (overly spicy and not really poutine no gravy or decent curds), sorbet (salty??) Definitely order: all pastries, caviar sandwhich ($145 but such a delicious and unforgettable dish) Also we brought a toddler and saw 2 other groups with kids so as long as they are chill it seems pretty kid friendly during brunch! Mentioned it was our anniversary and they said as much but nothing free so that was lame haha"
