Considered by many as the best place for French food in Chicago, Les Nomades is quintessentially formal and quintessentially French (read: a traditional French haute cuisine dining experience). Walk into the architecturally beautiful greystone and you'll immediately notice the hushed tones. The quiet, murmuring table conversation, peppered with "mmms," only adds to the refined atmosphere. The downstairs dining area is white, crisp and professional, whereas the cozier upstairs venue features wood paneling and a comforting fireplace. The menu has appetizers like beautifully prepared Seared Hudson Valley foie gras, main courses like roasted duck breast or Poisson (fish) du jour, plus incredible desserts, like the Quince crème brûlée with peach foam.
