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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Le Sud never disappoints! Thank you for the wonderful service, Evangeline, and team. The bottomless mimosa brunch during Restaurant Week was amazing. read more

Went there for brunch and they got our orders wrong, in addition two of the dishes we ordered were half way cooked (raw sunny side up eggs and bacon strips) Very unpleasant. 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

For dinner it was only $45 and you can choose between a small dish or salad, large dish or pizza, and dessert!

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. Their patio is perfect for al fresco dining, plus they have cute decor around various holidays. I love this neighborhood gem! read more

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

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

Le Sud is are go-to several times a month and never disappoints. Sandi the owner creates such a warm and friendly atmosphere with seasonally changing decorations. The food is solid and the menu has something for everyone. Great happy hour too! 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

It's always a pleasure to attend one of Le Sud's special dinners. And, as usual, the French Bistro Dinner offered outstanding food and service. Looking forward to our next visit. 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 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 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

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

This place has a really good happy hour! It includes several different food and drink options. But aside from that, the regular menu is also really tasty and the atmosphere is very cozy. The indoor patio is really cool too! 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

Successful date night at Le Sud for Chicago Restaurant Week 2025! First of all this place is so darn cute with the heart decorations coming from the ceiling and gorgeous wine wall staircase. You are greeted in the front near a beautiful vintage cabinet and will be promptly seated (just make sure you book a reservation in advanced)! We went with the restaurant week menu and wanted to try so many different items, we were pleasantly surprised by all the options available for the small and large plates. We ordered the Moroccan meatballs which were wonderfully seasoned and the croquettes which my husband devoured very quickly. For our mains: the classic steak frites + risotto paella. Sides: We split the broccolini. Both were flavorful, cooked well, and well portioned. Star of the show was he garlic lemon taste of the broccolini--We fought over the last piece it's that good. For desserts we had the cheesecake and lava cake. Drinks: white/red wine (smooth), French martini (amazing), le sud martinez (excellent), and espresso martini (very pleasant). Excellent service all around. Highly recommend for date nights or coming in with family, you will be taken great care of! read more

Hospitality is alive and well at Le Sud! Went for my birthday and they put out multiple special touches to help me celebrate. You don't come across service like this that cares often anymore, this a very special place! The food was cooked to perfection, really enjoyed the meatballs and whipped feta! The white fish was amazing. Octopus salad was fantastic. We came the day after valentines and they had hearts strung from the ceiling through the whole room, it was magical. Highly recommend!!! read more

We were 4 on a cold night a week ago to celebrate a birthday. The staff were fantastic; the food was beyond delicious; and we appreciated that they let us close down the restaurant when I'm sure they were ready to home! And the menu even said "Happy Birthday, T##" - how fun! read more

Gorgeous place with tasty food and amazing drinks. I've been there alone on a Saturday and again for happy hour. Lots of options with great service. It can be a little pricey, but everything that I had was hot, fresh, and tasty. There were no complaints. I haven't checked out brunch but plan to try it out really soon. 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

Le Sud - Prendre Deux 5 years and Le Sud is still going strong so time to revisit A beautiful July night and our table of 6 is running late for our 7:00 outdoor reservation. They keep our table and have us promptly seated when we arrive. Our waiter - Vernon - is prompt, professional and full of advice and suggestions (a huge positive after our last experience). Drinks come quickly followed by a couple salads and lamb meatballs. All solid and good choices. Sadly the star of our last visit, the carrots, were not on the menu. On to the main courses - 2 filets, 2 frites and 2 pork chops (yes, trying the pork again). I would like to say that after 5 years that everything was incredible. Sadly, that was not the case. Steaks all came out medium well and lukewarm even though 2 were ordered medium rare and 2 medium. The pork chops (and only thing I took a picture of), while favorable, also came out lukewarm but still very edible vs the prior visit. Overall, an ok experience and probably a 3.5 which was rounded up to a 4. Now if only they brought back the carrots... read more

The place: pretty large spot. Was decorated to the nines for the holidays. Lots of lights and ornaments. Unfortunately one rather large and pointy ornament fell about 3 inches away from a patron in our section. Luckily no one was hurt, but not exactly in line with the festive spirit. Service was fine. The taste: the lamb lollipops were nicely done. We also shared the Brussels sprouts, steak and potatoes, and possibly one more dish. My face: not uber impressed, but overall does have kind of a sexy vibe. $150 for three of us to share some dishes and a few mocktails. 4 starts because I do think I'd go back even though it's not inexpensive. Not in a rush to go back, but for a sweet date night, it'd make the cut. read more

I recently hosted a baby shower at Le Sud. We chose this restaurant because we wanted to support a local restaurant in our community. From the initial contact with the owner, Sandy, to the shower itself, the process was seamless and perfect. I had some unusual requirements for some of our guests and Sandy accommodated them all. The staff who worked our event were professional and VERY efficient. The food was outstanding! Sandy worked with us to refine the menu, even going so far as to make a special dish for a vegan guest. I have had so many comments from our guests as to how good the food was. The food was served family style and there was definitely enough with some left overs. (Favorite dish by far was the quiche.) We hosted the event upstairs in the Salle du Soleil. The room was set up with one long table for all the guests and there was room to walk on both sides. We had a gift table as well as a photo corner so lots of room. I was able to see the room beforehand so I knew to keep the centerpieces small. Everything was perfect!!! We will definitely be back. read more
