Obelix

“Their dishes are flavorful. You have many options with duck and foie gras. Taste: the lobster crepe dish was refreshing. The duck salad and foie gras pancake dish were rich. It’s all shareable and great for small parties or dining yourself.”

“I have been to Obelix many times for brunch and several times for dinner! The food is SO good and the service is exceptional. I’ve tried many dishes and have loved them all! My faves are all the pastries (croissants, danishes, canelés, pain suisse), the merguez brunch dish, Moroccan carrots, and all the dishes with foie gras! The menu is so exciting and changes with the season! Yesterday we had the newly added calamari grillés app, and duck breast dish which were so tasty and the egg yolk pasta with artichoke. I wanted to lick my pasta bowl!!! They also have an amazing to-go pastry box that you can pre-order during the week for weekend pickups! I love this restaurant so much, and I really think you will, too!”

“I was visiting Chicago and made it a point to try Obélix because I’d never had beef Wellington before, and it’s not something that’s easy to find where I’m from. It ended up being a great choice. From the moment we sat down, the service stood out. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel relaxed. My friend and I shared the beef Wellington, which came with béarnaise sauce, peppercorn sauce, fries, asparagus, and garlic aioli. The Wellington itself was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The contrast between the crisp, flaky puff pastry and the savory sauces really elevated the dish. You can tell a lot of care went into the preparation. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and they paired especially well with the garlic aioli. Even the sides felt thoughtfully done rather than an afterthought. We also ordered drinks, which were well-balanced and enjoyable, and the ambiance struck a nice balance, upscale but still comfortable. Overall, I left very satisfied and would absolutely return the next time I’m in Chicago.”

“We walked into a warm and inviting atmosphere that felt like a Parisian Family Sunday Dinner where you could see the chefs behind the glass. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. All were very attentive. Best Escargot we ever tasted. We actually ordered another tray with dinner. Frois Gras w/crispy rice was excellent. I ordered the crusted Duck Breast in a pomegranate & mango sauce and my husband ordered Beef Wellington..Both entree’s were Delicious!! We ordered the Dessert Soufflé and another Chocolate Cake w/mousse & mango ice cream with a yummy rice crisp. We can’t wait to go back when we’re back in Chicago!!”

“Beautiful beautiful evening! Can’t say enough good things about this place. Everything was excellent from FOH to BOH to bar and then table. Grateful to have experienced — had been on my list for a very long time. Their menu is extremely unique and creative, touching on French classics with some updates twists. The night went like this … Oysters, Caviar tartlettes, Foie gras on crispy rice, Gem salad, French onion soup, Pasta with king crab and mussels, Boeuf côte cooked perfectly, and Port and a Swiss roll cake with rosemary ice cream. WHEW!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🥵🤤 Gotta give it up for the amazing staff here. Thank you for a beautiful night!”
