About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

Kiki's is a French Bistro with regional specialties and has the look and feel of a French country inn.

It has received 3-star reviews from both *The Chicago Tribune* and *The Sun Times*, and now in its eighteenth year, Kiki's Bistro maintains its well-earned reputation of gastronomic excellence and friendly, professional service. A comfortable French country atmosphere attracts an eclectic array of food-lovers, including celebrities, politicians, and acclaimed chefs.

Previous to Kiki's Bistro, Georges "Kiki" Cuisance opened Le Bordeaux at Madison and State in 1969. The restaurant attained a revered status among cosmopolitan Chicagoans, and when "Kiki" moved his kitchen to its current River North digs, his avid following of regulars and Francophiles pursued without hesitation. In an official proclamation the City of Chicago praised Mr. Cuisance for being at the forefront of introducing French cuisine and savoir-vivre to Chicago's developing dining scene.

Kiki still offers a wonderful, simple bistro menu with the great food to back it up. And the bartender to match with the martini's. We both had the prix fix and because of that, I had desert. A rarity for me. The Mouse Chocolat was wonderful. Interesting presentation and so good I didn't share with my wife. I recommend Kiki's to all of our friends. T

Delicious all around, from Escargot to Calfs liver and onions, for mom and my Trout almondine outstanding. Portion sizes were large and plentiful. As usual the ambience is perfect. Old world classic french dining.

We eat at Kiki's periodically, and this was another excellent experience - good food and excellent service. They were more quiet than usual as the date was 09 Mar 2020 - right before the order came down to shut all restaurants in Chicago.

Returned to Kiki's after too long away. Such a delightful, authentic and warm venue, with outstanding menu options. Quality is consistent and excellent, and the wine list is expansive and very reasonably priced.
