What a lovely place to go for dinner!!! I wasn't totally sure if I'd like it because I'm not the biggest fan of French food, but this place is French/Mediterranean fusion so they have a mix of different great dishes. Amazing happy hour deals too, we were able to order the limoncello, mussels, and french onion soup for half the price. All the dishes were delish. I think the smashed potatoes were my fave. Our waitress was SO sweet and attentive. The atmosphere was lovely too/not too loud, we sat outside. Overall 10/10 experience! I'd totally come back again. read more

A couple things, this place is FRENCH not Mediterranean. I want to make that clear. The food is very good! We went on a Tuesday night and they had a $45 price fix meal that was one of the best deals in the city. Full size apps, entree (including steak), and dessert. We started with burrata and mussels which were both light and lovely. They could have provided a bit more bread but we also didn't ask so it's a bit on us. Very fast apps and the mussels were cooked beautifully and fully open. I had steak au poivre which was cooked truly medium rare. They came with these smashed golden potatoes which I literally just dreamed about last night. They were SO GOOD. My friend has white fish which looked lovely and shrimp which were quite large. For dessert we got the mango sorbet and the tiramisu. I downed my tiramisu which was good... not incredible, but completely fine. The mango sorbet was almost too mango-ey. So if that's your vibe highly recommend. read more

WOW, what an incredible meal! Everything was absolutely delicious, and such a great deal. We went for an early birthday dinner and took advantage of the Tuesday Dinner Deal ($45 for an appetizer, entrée, and dessert), plus happy hour until 6 PM. Seriously, don't sleep on these deals! The service was outstanding, and every dish was cooked to perfection. I was already telling my husband we need to come back again. Love that we live so close. The escargot and steak frites are an absolute must and the duck breast was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. Can't wait to return! read more

Cute patio. Friendly staff. Killer happy hour. I came to Le Sud to catchup with some family and was pleasantly surprised. The patio is everything you want on a summer afternoon and their happy hour specials were amazing (like almost half off the regular prices, albeit different portions). The food was good (I had the steak frites) and the cocktails were good but a little sweet on the happy hour menu. I will definitely be back and would argue that Le Sud is worth an afternoon trip to Roscoe Village. read more

I've hosted several Chicago Literary Salon events at restaurants around the city, and Le Sud provided the best service we've experienced. From the planning process to the night of the event, the staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly organized, making everything feel effortless. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was, and the beautiful atmosphere made for the perfect setting for an intimate author event. I can't recommend Le Sud highly enough and look forward to hosting another event here! read more

Happy hour from 4-6. Perfect time for in the patio with your dog(s). We love sharing plates and trying their great dishes. Refreshing drink choices for adults, and our daughter loves the food. We will be hitting this restaurant more often. read more

Blown away by this cutesy restaurant in Roscoe Village. My husband surprised me with a Friday evening reservation day before Valentine's Day. We did the 3 course meal, escargot, mussels, roasted chicken, seared barramundi, creme brûlée, bread pudding, few glasses of sangria. Service , food and vibe were all perfect and we needed this alone time. Keep up the excellent standards and we will back for sure!! read more

My best friend and I came here last night and we had a phenomenal experience. We got the watermelon salad, the burrata, the steak frites, and the bread pudding. She got sangria and I got a dirty martini. Everything was 10/10, and the service was excellent. Our server, Ava, was phenomenal! We will definitely be back! read more

We sat outside on Wednesday and enjoyed the prix fixe menu. The service was very competent and attentive. The food was delicious. It was not only a good value, but a very pleasant experience. One caveat: it is dog friendly outside, and there were several there, of all sizes and volume. Chiens imprévisibles! read more

Our first visit to Le Sud was wonderful. Low-key vibe, lovely environment. Food options were exceptional. The special watermelon & feta salad was fresh and delicious. My husband scored a happy hour price ($17) for steak/frites, which was cooked to order and very flavorful. The pan-seared barramundi w/fondant potatoes and herbed butter sauce was fabulous. We took a slice of the dark chocolate layer cake special home. Our server Mark was knowledgeable and professional. We look forward to returning soon. read more

A great date night spot. The bread came with two types of spreads; both delicious. The barramundi was delightful and the skin was very crispy. I could have lived without the fondant potatoes. read more

The ambiance was really cute. Our battery died for our candle/light on our table, but we didn't mind. The service was great and we were checked on frequently. The food was really good. Even something as simple as a French onion soup was really delicious! I got the lamb since it's notoriously difficult to cook lamb well and it was incredibly juicy and well cooked! The crème brûlée was also incredible! read more

Delicious meal! Delicious wine! Our server was attentive without making us feel rushed. A lovely evening - would definitely return and will recommend the restaurant to anyone! read more

French inspired restaurants possess a certain level of flirty vibes. We went to Le Sud for Restaurant Week. Luckily, the staff left Valentine's Day decorations during the event. This added to the quaintness of Le Sud. Joseph ordered the lamb cut. He said it tasted fine. I ordered the salmon with vegetables. This fine cuisine tasted divine. The salmon came with sliced tomatoes, olives and cucumbers. We needed our meal with a New York cheesecake. Delicious. When in town, come to Le Sud. Highly recommend to bring dates, family and friends. read more

Walked past this restaurant one day and it looked so cute, so we took a chance and reserved my birthday dinner there--I'm SO glad we did! It's so lovely and cozy inside, the wait staff were so kind and the food and drinks were delicious! This is the perfect place for a special occasion or just a nice anytime dinner. Can't wait to come back here again sometime soon! read more

My dining experience was enjoyable. My appetizer was unique and delicious. My steak thin and unusually sliced all the way through.....which i'm honestly not a fan, however small and mmmm d Fair. I requested pittsburgh style nowhere near it. The staff and atmosphere is outstanding. Love the shabby chic. read more

My mom and I came back... finally, on her birthday, April 26th. We had a great meal, great service. Everything was AMAZING. Our waitress, Nico C., was great. Fast, friendly and efficient. She even gave my mom a complimentary birthday dessert. Of course, we'll be back. Thank you read more

Put down your Satre and pick up your fork. This charming bistro is swinging much higher than its weight class. Stellar service and French inspired small and large plates allow for a mix and match that is to die for. Inside decorated in French cottage core which accents the dishes spectacularly. Big shout out to the crab spag! Hints of basil layered with cream and crab. Chef's kiss! read more

This is probably the nicest restaurant in Roscoe Village. The venue is super cool and unique--really big space with 2 floors and interesting decor. Came here for brunch & was satisfied, especially with the crispy potatoes. Get the crispy potatoes! You won't regret it!! The egg shawarma was a tasty and healthy dish. My boyfriend and I both liked it, however, my boyfriend's shakshuka was not great. Not bad but definitely had much better shakshuka--we both agreed. The tomatoes should've been cooked longer to give the dish a deeper flavor. My mocktail, the green tea gimlet, was super tasty! It always fascinates me how places can get their mocktails to taste like there's booze in it. However, I want to come here for dinner to try their main menu to be able to give it a fair rating. read more

We made a reservation for a Sunday at 12pm for 6 people and were seated right away. The atmosphere is lively and cute. The main floor had Valentine's Day decor and felt very festive/would've been a cute date spot to celebrate. Food wise, I liked my burger but it was a little small. Get the brunch side of bacon - it was 3 large pieces of thick cut bacon that was very worth the price!! The shakshouka was small, and had a lot of raw tomatoes (we expected them to be cooked more into a sauce) - honestly I'd pass on it. Overall I liked Le Sud - it's not too far from where we live and the service + vibe was nice. The food was a little hit or miss depending on what you ordered. Overall I'd come back! read more

I always pass by Le Sud since it's on the bike route I frequent. It was great. We chose the restaurant week menu for Valentine's Day. Tye interior is warm and inviting and so is the interior and decor. They got a little festive for Valentine's Day. I had the French onion soup and lamb shank. Everything was honestly cooked perfect and balanced. The lamb shank meat fell off the bone it was so tender and also saturated with the right amount of spices to accentuate the flavors of the meat. Everything was great. Service was attentive, receptive, and friendly. Definitely recommend. read more

Mes compliments au chef ‍ .. Kicking off restaurant week at @lesudchicago was such a great choice! For dinner it was only $45 and you can choose between a small dish or salad, large dish or pizza, and dessert!

I will be coming back again! We came here for Restaurant Week 2025 and got their dinner course for $45. We tried the lamp lollipops, croquettes, and lamb meatballs for appetizers. All of them were wonderful but my favorite was the croquette. For entrees, we got the goat, crab spag, and steak & frites. I enjoyed the steak & frites because the fries were super light and crispy, and the steak was cooked perfectly and served with a herb butter. My friends loved their goat and crab spag so I would recommend those! For dessert, we tried both the cheesecake and chocolate lava cake. The staff was very friendly and helpful when explaining what we were eating. I love the interior as well. Since we came in February, the restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day. A great location for a romantic date or a Galentine's day event. read more

I went here with friends for a late Saturday brunch on a beautiful day and it did not disappoint. The patio is perfect for sitting outside in the summer and the decor inside feels very Mediterranean and French elegance. Got the quiche and it was perfectly cooked, extremely fluffy and paired with a fresh salad. All of my friends loved the option they got from the frittata to the French toast and crispy potatoes. The service was pretty good, but we did arrive around closing so it was a bit more rushed than I bet it normally is. Overall, I definitely want to return for dinner ! Great place in the neighborhood. read more

My boyfriend and I were in town visiting friends for a long weekend. I've been to Chicago too many times to count but we always stay in Lakeview East - which is my favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. My friends just moved to Roscoe Village and they love it out there - they talk about Le Sud very highly, so we know we had to go. I would make sure when you go on a Friday night that you book a resy - we had a table of six. We started with the Tirokafteri which was this spicy feta dip and it was amazing. We wanted to find the dupe recipe as soon as we left the restaurant. The service was great, I wish I remembered the name of the server. I ordered the steak & frites, the steak was cooked to medium rare perfection. The frites were ok, nothing special but nothing bad. I would come here again just for the Tirokafteri. Their menu had a bunch of items that sounded great, can't wait to come again. read more

The food was outstanding, they have a unique mix of menu items and every single dish we tried was delicious. I didn't get as much of the typical Mediterranean sense (based on the name of this place), it had a blend of food and decor styles that built a nice dining atmosphere. We ate inside as it was super hot out, but they have a nice patio and a cool upper roof patio as well. Service was on top of it, we had a team of servers pitching in for our table that really made the experience great. read more

I frequent Le Sud. The staff are attentive and warm, the food is delicious, they have a great happy hour and bottomless mimosa brunch, and there is ample free street parking.

This place was really good. Beautiful ambience and the service was goods. We sat at Table 23 which was awesome in that we could give a portion of our meals proceeds to a charity of our choosing from their short list. Great dinner or date spot. Cute casual dress appropriate read more

We went there (for the third or fourth time, the past experiences were fine, not amazing, but not bad) for Mother's Day this year, and it was truly awful. We love the look and coziness of the place itself, but the food was atrocious. We ordered Shakshouka, and it arrived with huge chunks of potatoes that were uncooked, completely raw egg which was not even seared because the meal was lukewarm, not hot, like it's supposed to be, and I swear tomatoes were damped straight from a can and lukewarm. No flavor, uncooked, awful. The shawarma eggs were not any better. The Mediterranean omelette had no flavor. The drinks were fine. Never going back. It completely ruined the celebration. read more

Went to Le Sud with 3 of my friends for their restaurant week menu! With this you each get a small plate, large plate, and desert. I got the octopus, filet mignon, and bread pudding. The steak was cooked perfectly and the aioli with the octopus married perfectly together. Enzo had the Iberian pork which was truly out of this world. I think this was my favorite dish of the night. The place was super cute, it's still decked out in christmas decorations and each chair had a cute lil sweater on it. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive to us and very kind. The restaurant week price was an awesome value for this meal. I'd definitely go back. read more

I really wanted to like this experience because of my previous visit. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The escargot came with melted cheese and that's all you tasted - the cheese. The octopus was dry as if was left in the lamp for some time. The lamb osso buco was there to give the sauce texture but the lamb had no flavor. The mussels were good. Shout out to the scallops, they were excellent. Service was second to none from our server (Renee) to the busboy. I would still recommend this restaurant for several reasons. 1. It's quaint- especially with the Christmas decor(see pics) 2. Fair prices. 3. Excellent service. 4. Fine dining not withstanding tonight. I hope this was the exception, not the norm. read more

My daughter and her husband took us here last Christmas season and found the food, atmosphere and service the to be wonderful. This year we wanted to get them gift certificates to Le Sud as a present. There was some difficulty with the delivery of the certificates, so I contacted the restaurant and they put me in contact with the manager, Aaron. I have had some good "Customer Service" experiences in the past, but I have never had someone make me feel as if I were doing them a favor by allowing them to solve my problem. I was beyond pleased. Even during this crazy season for a restaurant of this caliber, Aaron went out of his way to not only solve the problem, but do so in exquisite fashion. Subsequently, in addition to thanking Aaron, I wish to congratulate the owners of Le Sud for hiring him, and people like him, to operate and represent their establishment. Jeff Mason read more

This restaurant was expensive, but the food was really good so I can't complain. That being said, I don't feel like I got a value for how good the food was. The ambiance is really pretty, a classic French-inspired architecture. And their flavored butters were amazing, really took the sting out of paying $5 for bread. I also appreciated that they played music quietly or not at all. It lets you have a conversation and gave a more calm atmosphere to the restaurant. All in all, this is a good restaurant. If you're the kind of person who pays for a first date and wants the bill to be high, or if you're trying to impress a bougie person, this is the perfect date spot for you. That being said, I won't be going back any time soon. There's better, more interesting food for the price. read more

An absolutely beautiful restaurant! The atmosphere inside is stunning, but still manages to feel cozy and homey. It's what I imagine a restaurant in France would be like. We dined on the patio on a lovely Saturday evening. Our server was extremely attentive and welcoming. I ordered the faux-jito, a NA twist on the classic mojito. It was perfectly light and refreshing. We started with the fresh ciabatta which was served with two types of butter. One was more savory with chives and the other was a sweet, berry butter. Both were delicious, but the berry one was the clear winner! The soft bread paired with fresh butter made for a great starter. Highly recommend! I ordered the burger for my main and really enjoyed it! The only downside was I asked for it medium well and it came out more well done, but the flavors were still super delicious. My husband went with the steak and loved it. We can't wait to dine at Le Sud again and explore more of the menu! read more
