A Classic French Bistro in the heart of Edison Park has been a dream of Executive Chef and owner Joe Calabrese for several years. Joe was professionally trained at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America located in Hyde Park, New York. Before opening his other restaurant, Zia’s Trattoria (located one block west of Café Touché at 6699 N. Northwest Highway) in 1997, he was sharpening his professional – and knife – skills at several well-respected Chicago dining establishments including Ambria, Spiagia, Un Grand Cafe and the Park Hyatt. Joe lives in Park Ridge, a few short miles from the restaurants, so expet to see him in both restaurants assuring a quality experience for his customers. On days off, Joe can be found at home with his wife, Mary Kay and their 3 boys. Reservations by phone: 773-775-0909. The only reservation restrictions are on Friday and Saturday, parties of five or more only. Café Touché is located at 6731 N. Northwest Highway, Chicago (Edison Park), I

    Service very good, Food was ok, room temp. Toast sitting to long and hard. Tables too close together, very loud, have to shout to have a conversation.

    Best mussels in town! Always a great meal. Can be noisy - sit along the windows in winter for best conversation. We love the patio when available. On our recent visit we needed to retrieve our car since the valet was serving two restaurants and overwelled.

    Our favorite French restaurant and now our grandson loves it, too. The bread pudding is the ultimate comfort food!

    Absolutely magnificent lunch. Delicious house made pate appetizer. Creamy melt in your mouth quiche with a bounty of salad that could have made a meal in itself. Make sure you save room for the chocolate pate dessert. This is the type of restaurant you wish you had in your own neighborhood so you could go there often. Even though it was a 30 minute ride from me, I’ll be back.

    We come here regularly as it is the most consistent and delicious restaurant we have found in the area. Never ever had a bad meal! Great service! Priced like other fine dining restaurants and worth it!
