About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Romantic

One of Chicago’s finest dining experiences awaits you in this elegant town home setting that balances formality and friendliness. Your dinner may be paired with fine wines, as uncommon ingredients come together in perfect harmony. In operation since 1978, Les Nomades remains true to its distinctive character as an oasis of civilized tranquility amidst the bustling activity of its Streeterville location. Culinary creations delight the most discriminating palates. Savor Sautéed Foie Gras, or Lobster Ravioli with seared scallops; Roasted Breast and Confit Leg of Duck, or Duo of Roasted Partridge and Bison. Artisan cheeses are extraordinary and the pastries are sublime.
Please keep in mind that proper attire is required including a jacket for gentlemen.

Always consistently great. One of the best restaurants in Chicago. But very traditional fine dining, reflective of a different era.

I did ask the main server to wrap up the crème Brulé for dessert that I was planning on eating today ( our res was for 5/30 anniversary)but that didn’t happen.The server Jamie G never wrapped it up in the bag . Only a big deal because I really wanted to enjoy it 6128 sir 6128 table 22 for reference. I’ll plays on Jamie G as a future server Get my shoes on It’s great otherwise

Les Nomades is a top-quality, upscale restaurant with delicious food perfectly prepared and impeccable service. The dining room has a cozy ambiance, yet there is no feeling of being crowded by your neighboring tables. This level of food and service comes at a price, but it is perfect for romantic dinners and extra-special celebrations.

The host at the front was friendly and courteous, setting a positive tone for the evening. Our server was fine and the food is too salty overall. Average experience, but there’s room for improvement.

Les Nomades is an INCREDIBLE restaurant! We traveled to Chicago to have dinner again from Huntsville, AL after visiting the restaurant last July. It’s a restaurant that the owner greets guests as you come in through the door and then you have an amazing food with impeccable service that elevates entire experience to a truly special meal that is delicious and memorable. The atmosphere is very intimate and the decor is classy, tasteful and timeless. The flowers are stunning and beautifully arranged in heavy crystal vases. The menu is seasonal and features numerous dishes that make the choice is a bit of a challenge, but all of them are incredibly delicious! We went with a 5 course meal- with at least 5 choices in each category - starters, then soups and salads, fish course then meat course and the desserts. And each of our selections tasted exquisite! Our sommelier Adam chose wines that were perfect pairing with each course and our server Sebine was so professional and distinguished that we felt like the only diners (which, of course, we were not). After our beautiful dinner Les Nomads owner Mary Beth Liccioni talked to us and thanked us for our patronage and it was so humbling to be in her presence and feeling the warmth of her beautiful being. Looking forward to returning back in near future!

Every course was better than the next, our group of 4 loved their meal and have said we can't wait to go back. The service was impeccable, truly the BEST place to celebrate any occasion or to have an outstanding meal. The lack of loud music and noise has made this my top choice to return to.
