April in Paris? Mais Oui! Or just take a ride to Roscoe Village's Le Sud. The popular French-Mediterranean spot offers a rooftop patio that transports you to a garden in the south of France. Flowers and herbs scent the air, wine barrel fire pits warm you if there's a sudden Chicago chill and proprietor Sandy Chen shows how a trip to the villages of Provence inspired her decor. A retractable roof is being added to the patio for year-round dining. Choose items from the full menu and wine list or some lighter warm-weather fare and seasonal beverages.
Executive Chef Kevin McMullen's Provencal-influenced food includes house-made charcuterie, escargot, tuna tartare, foie gras tarte, Parisian gnocchi, bouillabaisse, rabbit a la Provencal, fettuccine with mussels, a fabulous burger and chilled tomato and cucumber soup. Don't miss dessert: Basque cake, chocolate-orange mousse and house-made ice creams and you'll say, "merci."
