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

    We came here for my daughter's baby shower a few years ago. I was excited to come back for brunch bc our previous experience was exceptional. Unfortunately, this time I was so disappointed in everything. Initially we were told they were out of Bloody Mary mix and then noticed others with the cocktail. We had to inform our waiter to place our order. Two of us ordered what we thought was a cran /orange mimosa, but it wasn't. Maybe a pre made - bottle cocktail. We ordered chicken and waffles which had absolutely no flavor. The syrup tasted watered down. We also ordered the French omelet which, again, had no flavor at all. Menu said there were herbs in it- couldn't taste anything. The potatoes were barely warm and lacked texture. The bright spot was my son in law's burger. We spent almost $200 ( without tip)

    Great food. Our waitress was fabulous….i noticed she first checked the wine glasses before giving them to the bartender to fill to make sure they were clean. Bolognese was delicious and substantial. Loved my trout that had an abundance of vegetables .

    Delicious meal for a great value. Ricky was our waiter and he was excellent. My only gripe is that you took steak tartare off of the menu! We travel from afar for that dish from your menu. Won’t stop us from returning, but that was certainly one of the draws.

    Juliane did a great job - her service was appreciated (especially by my 84-year-old mother). The pate appetizer was wonderful and the freshly baked baguettes were outstanding. Thank you for a lovely mother daughter granddaughter lunch.
