Awesome vegetarian options at a French restaurant—feels super rare! Went for happy hour + dinner as a birthday surprise for my boyfriend (who’s newly vegetarian). Every dish was tasty and felt original.
My favorite was the mushroom “escargot” (much more memorable than regular escargot) and my partner’s favorite was the carrot tartare. The chamomile bourbon soda was also tasty—their happy hour specials were a great value. Already wanna plan my next visit to try more!!

This might be my new go-to chill, local date night spot! All the things we loved:
– The atmosphere; the space is really chic and there’s something cool about being inside of a wine store, too 🙂
– I’m French and thought the food was EXCELLENT
– The menu was so vegetable-forward in the best way. We tried so much that was on the menu and left feeling great rather than weighed down
– Favorite bites: The mushroom “escargot” and carrot tartar!
– Even the French onion soup was made with vegetable broth and it was awesomely flavored
– We tried all of the desserts which were also so worth it
– Bottles of wine were really, really well-priced
Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful space, wonderful service, and delicious food!
We saw this place on an Instagram reel and decided to treat ourselves to a nice brunch date. We were not disappointed.
The menu had a nice variety and it was hard to just choose a few things! Everything we ordered blew us away. We liked the food so much, we plan on trying the dinner offerings next month.
Location-wise, Argot is very accessible and the space is superb, coming off as elegant but not stuffy, like some similar places in the area can.
Highly recommended for any foodie or someone looking for a special spot without blowing the bank.

We went back for dinner recently as well and were not disappointed. Everything was delicious with a nice variety to satisfy even the pickiest eater in our group.

My partner and I loved celebrating our anniversary at Argot. It had a peaceful, classy atmosphere that we loved. The menu was a good mix of classic dishes and more unique options, and the staff explained the dishes to us when we asked, which helped a lot with our decisions! We started with two refreshing cocktails: I had the chrysanthemum martini, which was a refreshing, not salty martini, and he had the chamomile bourbon soda, which was light tasting with a subtle deepness from the bourbon.
For appetizers, we shared an argula salad, which came with plenty of toppings and a great dressing. My fiance also ordered a mini wagyu burger from the happy hour menu, which he loved. He said it was bigger than he expected, but a great little appetizer size or for anyone who likes meat, but not enough to order the whole burger entree.
Our entrees were exquisite. I had the Four Star Mushrooms, which was a medley of local/foraged mushrooms atop a root vegetable puree. It sounds very simple, but it was an amazingly flavorful dish. The meatiness of the mushrooms with the subtle sweetness of the puree was filling without being overly rich.
My fiance ordered Le Poisson, the Lake Superior Whitefish with lentils du puy, and creme fraiche fume. The fish was perfectly flaky and tender. And the dish in full was tangy and slightly acidic with a citrusy freshness.
We were full, but not too full for desserts. I’d recommend you share a dessert, because we ordered our own and were a little overwhelmed with the sizes of them! We swapped desserts halfway through, though, so it all worked out. I ordered the raspberry tart, which was an incredible slightly tart raspberry sauce with a fresh, marshmallow-y topping on top of a brown butter shortbread cookie almost the size of my hand (I’m 5’1″ so my hand isn’t that big but it was still an impressively sized cookie). My fiance ordered the cookies and milk, which infused the classic flavors of winter—vanilla, brown sugar, and cardamom—into a pleasant, not too heavy dessert served on a fanciful floral set of a teacup and saucer. A cup of coffee would pair perfectly with either of those desserts! Argot uses coffee beans from Anticonquista cafe, which harvests the beans from their family land in Guatemala and roasts them in Chicago.
We were very impressed by our whole experience ar Argot, and we’re excited to see them thrive!

We had an excellent experience at Argot! The food was incredible including the vegetarian options. We had the bread / butter, mushroom entree, steak frites, and the cheese plate at the end. We also had a bottle of delicious orange wine. Every single item we had was great, and they actually gave us some orange marmalade to take home since we loved it so much! Service was very kind and they let us stay past closing to finish our meal and order dessert. 10/10 experience – we will definitely be back!

I was looking for a new place for date night and Argot was perfect! The vibe is warm and conversational. The food is delightful. Everything we had was flavorful but not heavy. A pleasant surprise was the “petit romaine” salad. It was so good and unique that I didn’t have time to get a picture! My partner and I look forward to returning. (Don’t forget to check out the wine shop on your way out!)

Really enjoyed our dinner here. Our server was Brendan/Brandon (unsure of their exact name) and they were amazing! Recommended dishes, very attentive, and really kind. Only reason for 4 stars was our food was placed at the start to be “timed out”, but some dishes were served a bit cold. Also, there were long (one was 40min) gaps between courses. Additionally, the seating is quite compact/squished. Heard every word of people around us. I’ll definitely be back if they have a rotating menu. Maybe they’ll add a chicken dish, as I thought that was missing!

We had the bread & butter, mushroom “escargot”, savory tart, French onion soup, Frisée er lardon salad, and Crozet de savoie. Flavors were interesting, fresh, and delicious!

I’ve been here twice now ands absolutely love!!! The food, service and ambience are all ON POINT! Classic French food cooked well. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff…they even welcomed me back on my second visit…nice little attention to detail. They also have a retail wine shop attached!

The restaurant is beautiful as you walk in. The decor and atmosphere is high scale but not intimidating. The food and drinks were to die for. Great effort was put into the design of all their menus and prepared to perfection. I can’t wait to return and try another of their menus!

I had a specific request before I came in and told Kristina I wanted to make it special for my friends. They were so easy to work with and helped out so much, it made our night perfect. The food was divine, service incredible, drinks always stayed fresh. Thank you!!!
