About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
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 love this restaurant! I have never had a bad meal or cocktail here. Our server was delightful. While sitting outside, the planes overhead are quite noticeable but quickly ignored due to the delicious food. The mussels and trout were cooked perfectly. We definitely ate way too much bread with the mussels sauce, but who would blame us! You have to get that yumminess soaked into the bread.

    Very nice! Indoor / outdoor layout on a nice day very pleasant. Arrived 11:30 for lunch, quiet for an hour, then filled up, became noisier but not overbearing. Nice staff all working hard. Great selection of French-themed items. Delicious food. Will come again!

    We sat outside on a beautiful evening. Wednesday was half-price bottles of wine. We shared a bottle of Sancerre, which was lovely on a summer night. All of the food was amazing. We especially loved the special appetizer, a crostini with prosciutto, burrata, peach and fig and the fish (walleye and trout) were outstanding. So yummy! Will definitely go back.
