Chicago's Hidden Gem for Date Night — Bar Parisette
This adorable French-inspired wine bar in Logan Square has been open for about a year 🍷✨. Though it’s small and cozy, it’s gained a cult following among foodies—especially for its natural wines (not my thing, but hey) and Midwest-meets-French cuisine. Finally tried it recently, and wow—lived up to the hype! 🥖💫 🍷 Photo 2: Snow Peas & Cured Halibut The snap peas are blanched just right, paired with a bright purée of mint and preserved lemon. The halibut? Marinated with strawberry and rhubarb—tangy, sweet, and so refreshing! 🌿🍓 🍷 Photo 3: Spiral Pasta (MY FAVE!) Almost skipped it, thinking "just another pesto pasta"—NOPE. Sweet asparagus, punchy green garlic, and creamy goat cheese (zero gaminess!) made this dish irresistibly addictive. Finished it in 60 seconds flat 🍝💨 🍷 Photo 4: "French" Mussels… but Thai Curry! Plump, juicy mussels (see Photo 5!) and fries—cooked perfectly, though the broth needed more soak time for full flavor. Still, that coconut curry aroma? Heavenly. 🥥🌶️ 🍷 Photo 6: Daily Special—Rabbit Pappardelle Sweet stracciatella cheese vs. savory rabbit ragu vs. a peppery kick = a magical trio. Mixed together, it created a whole new sauce—three dishes in one! 🐇🍝 The space is chic yet unpretentious—great for drinks or a full meal. Bonus: All-gender bathrooms (very Logan Square ❤️). Perfect for dates, friend hangs, or solo indulgence! 🥂 Bar Parisette #ChicagoEats #ChicagoLife #ChicagoFoodie #DateNightSpot #HiddenGem #GlobalFoodie #AmericasCulinaryAdventure
