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

    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.

    My friend and I arrived for lunch at 2:45 on Friday. The restaurant was not crowded and we were seated immediately. The ambiance was great. Our waitress was very pleasant and well prepared with great service. We both ordered the walleye special. It was delicious, as was the soup, bread and wine. I highly recommend Cafe Touché for lunch, dinner or just their delicious appetizers and a drink during happy hour.

    Cafe Touche is one of my neighborhood restaurants that always seems to fit the bill. Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or just appetizers and a drink, it rarely disappoints. Yesterday, I was there with two friends one of whom hadn’t been there, and they both raved about the French Martinis and the delicious food. Our waitress was professional and efficient, and did the perfect amount of “checking on us”.
