🇫🇷 French Dining in Chicago’s North Suburbs｜Miramar Bistro

📍 Miramar Bistro – Highwood, IL A classic French bistro in the Chicago suburbs blending Mediterranean and Moroccan influences. Known for traditional dishes like duck breast, escargots, French onion soup, and North African-spiced specialties — rich, unique, and full of flavor. The interior is cozy and romantic with a Parisian brasserie vibe, perfect for dates or gatherings. 💐🍷 Highly recommend! Great food, warm service, and solid value at around $50–60 per person. Overall: 8/10 🐌 Escargots – $17.75 Large snails in a savory garlic-herb butter sauce. Soaking up the sauce with complimentary bread is a must! 😋 8/10 🐟 Sautéed Skate – $32.75 Tender, delicate fish with a lovely sear. Served with spinach and potatoes. A special not on the main menu — don’t miss it! 9/10 🍝 Linguini with Clams – $31.50 Clams and spinach in a light garlic white wine sauce. Solid and satisfying. 7.5/10 🦆 Roasted Duck with Orange Juice – $34.75 Half a duck, generous portion. No gamey taste — just crispy skin and tender meat with a subtle citrus glaze. 8/10 🍨 Profiteroles – $11.50 Cream puffs filled with ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or caramel) and topped with chocolate sauce. Classic and delicious. 8/10 🦪 Fresh Oysters – $28.50 / half dozen A trio of oysters. Small ones were sweet but tiny, medium ones were a bit briny, large ones were mild. None were the big, sweet kind I prefer. 6/10 🍖 Country Pâté & Chicken Liver Mousse – $22.50 Decent but not memorable. Seasoning was mild — I’ve had better elsewhere (like at Pomeroy). 6/10 ☕ Tiramisu – $11.50 Served in a glass like a parfait — layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and cocoa. Light, balanced, and delicious! 9/10 ✨ A charming spot with more hits than misses. Definitely worth the trip for French food lovers! #ChicagoEats #FrenchCuisine #MiramarBistro #NorthSuburbs #DateNightSpot #FrenchBistro
