Kiki's Bistro

Unpretentious French Bistro; 51 years in Chicago. Crème brûlée, steak frites, onion soup, escargots, & Kiki!

According to Zagat: An “old standby” that “refuses to bend to current trends”, this “welcoming” Near North Frenchie appeals with “well-prepared” “authentic” bistro fare and “high-quality wine” served by “friendly” staffers who “treat you as family”; the “cozy”, “charming” space has a “happy buzz” and tabs are moderate, so Kiki-philes wanting an “escape from the city hustle bustle” return “again and again.”
