La Serre | French-Mediterranean Vibes in Chicago 🥖🌿

📍 La Serre – Fulton Market’s new French/Mediterranean hotspot that had us booking a table ASAP! Here’s the honest review: 🌸 FIRST IMPRESSIONS • Decor: Fake flowers everywhere = kinda "fancy-tacky"? 🌸😂 • Free bread with olive tapenade (salty-spicy, perfect with bread!). • French 94 cocktail – Citrusy + bitter, like a Parisian summer. 🍊 🍽️ WHAT WE ORDERED 1️⃣ Crab Balls & Duck Puff Balls 🦀🦆 • Crab = too salty, but duck puffs (with foie gras seal) = rich + sweet aftertaste. Worth a try! 2️⃣ Angel Hair Pasta + 50g Caviar 🍝💎 • Lemon crème fraîche sauce + salty caviar = HEAVEN. • Portion fix: They gave us extra pasta for free when we said caviar was too much! 👏 3️⃣ Charcoal Duck 🦆🔥 • Tender meat, but skin not crispy. Served with crepes + sriracha (weird combo?). • Overpriced for what it is. 4️⃣ Caramel Toast Dessert 🍞🍦 • Soggy milk-soaked toast + brown sugar-cinnamon ice cream (yum!). • Cookie crumbs = too sweet (like eating sugar straight 😅). 🌟 HIGHLIGHTS • Spotting ex-Mayor Lightfoot dining nearby! 👀🗳️ • Service was attentive (free pasta save!). 💸 PRICE TAG • ~$100+/person (for a decent but not mind-blowing meal). 📍 La Serre 307 N Green St, Chicago, IL 60607 #ChicagoEats #FrenchFood #MediterraneanVibes #FoodieReview #FultonMarket #MayorSighting
