La Serre｜Flower-Filled Aesthetic Photo Heaven 💐

Is there a place that feels like stepping into a fairy’s nest as soon as you walk in? Walls draped in blooms, wild vines climbing everywhere, wooden tables and rattan chairs — pure South of France charm. Even the sunlight feels like it’s filtered through eight levels of magic ✨. La Serre in Chicago’s Fulerton Market fits all that and more. We stayed for a full meal + dessert, snapping photos from entry to exit — never put our phones down 📷. The setting is dreamlike, and the food absolutely holds up! This greenhouse-inspired French restaurant truly masters the “eat + photograph” double joy 🌿💫. 🥂 What We Ordered | Delicate, Delicious & Photogenic: 🧀 TRUFFLE BRIE TART Stunning from the start! Creamy brie with caramelized onions and honey, topped with fresh black truffle — an elegant French appetizer winner. 🐌 ROASTED ESCARGOT Classic French formula perfected 🫴 — herb butter, lemon, a hint of pastis, served with mini baguettes. So satisfying! 🍝 LINGUINE & CLAMS Light and refreshing pasta with a kick of Fresno chili, roasted garlic aroma, lemon breadcrumbs, and plenty of clams — deliciously bright! 🥩 LAMB CHOPS My personal #1! Seared lamb chops, tender inside, with garlic-olive sauce and rosemary — layered flavors so good you’ll lick your fingers. 🦆 DUCK CHINOISE A creative Sino-French fusion: roasted duck breast, fermented chili sauce, and a crêpe — slightly spicy sauce elevates it like a French-forward duck taco! 🍞 BRÛLÉED FRENCH TOAST The grand dessert finale! Crackly caramel shell, vanilla custard inside, cinnamon + ice cream — pure comfort in every bite. 🍎 WARM APPLE BREAD PUDDING Warm apple pudding with apple cider caramel sauce and melting vanilla ice cream — sweet but not heavy, totally blissful. 🌿 The Vibe is Seriously Photo-Perfect: Floor-to-ceiling windows + climbing greenery = natural Instagram filter! Gorgeous mirrors + floral decor = ready-made photo sets! The large mirror on the first floor is a selfie goldmine. No exaggeration — we photographed everything, from dishes to decor, for over two hours until our phones died 📵. 🌟 Follow for more tasty finds — get updates in a snap! 😋 #TodayWithXiaoYuan #WhatXiaoYuanEats #WhatXiaoYuanDrinks #ChicagoEats #FrenchCuisine
