Chicago Dining Review | French Romance at Venteux 🇫🇷✨
Venteux Brasserie, Cafe & Oyster Bar A Michelin Guide-recommended spot — reservations available via OpenTable. 🤍 Located on Michigan Avenue, just a short walk from shopping areas 🛍️. 🤍 The interior blends modern and classical styles. The cafe (closed at night) has a chic, contemporary vibe — perfect for photos! 📸 The dinner area is more traditional French elegance. 🤍 Around $100 per person including tip. Happy hour runs Tuesday–Saturday, 4–6 PM 🕓. 🤍 Recommended Dishes & Drinks: Grand Marnier Soufflé (Foie Gras Soufflé) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Venteux signature dessert with foie gras, black sesame, and cocoa — subtle foie gras flavor but worth a try. Duck Liver Mousse ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 My personal favorite! A must for foie gras lovers. Beef Tartare ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious with crispy mini toasts. Lobster Pasta ⭐⭐⭐ Decent but not outstanding. Younger than Springtime (Cocktail) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 A seasonal special with a delicate lavender aroma — absolutely lovely! Oysters ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 Offered from both East & West coasts. West Coast oysters are larger, sweeter, and saltier; East Coast ones are smaller with a fresher, brinier taste. 🦪 Food lovers, save this spot for your next visit! 🥂 #ChicagoEats #FrenchCuisine #VenteuxBrasserie #MichelinGuide #HappyHour #OysterBar
