Chez Joël has held its spot in Little Italy since 1999, running the classic Parisian bistro format: white tablecloths, an intimate vintage-inspired dining room, and a lush garden patio tucked away for al fresco dinners.
The menu sticks to French comfort staples — Steak Frites, Coq au Vin, Escargots — prepared with traditional technique and seasonal ingredients, backed by a curated list of French and domestic wines.
Michelin has named Chez Joël a Selected restaurant in its Chicago guide for 2021, 2024, and 2025.
