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.

    Fantastic restaurant, food and service were impeccable, ambiance was very nice and it was quiet enough that we could talk to each other without raising our voices. The warm lobster 2nd course is not to be missed, the prime rib was succulent, and the dessert souffle is always fantastic.

    As always, the food is creative, delicious and the wine list excellent. You feel as if you are in an elegant home, except with superb, non-intrusive service! A wonderful place for a special occasion and no one uses their cell phone. The soufflés are amazing.

    One of the best restaurants in city. I would recommend Les Nomades to anyone seeking a fabulous meal in a beautiful, peaceful venue. From the moment you walk in the door, you know that you are in for a special experience. We had the good fortune to be there on a cold winter night. The small fireplace in the bar/entry area greeted us. Even more fun, we were seated next to the fireplace in the upstairs dining room. Such a treat on a blustery evening. We had our niece dining with us (a young teen). She was delighted with her experience. It was a wonderful way to help her learn about fine dining. A heartfelt thanks to the folks at Les Nomades for maintaining such a gem of a restaurant. Kudos!
