Le Colonial occupies a corner of Oak Street in Chicago's Gold Coast, part of a small group of French-Vietnamese restaurants with locations across the country. The Chicago dining room is palm-filled and designed for old-world atmosphere, paired with the Monkey Parlour, a separate bar and lounge, and La Veranda, a terrace that stays open year-round with views of Oak Street.
Executive Chef Amanda Barnes runs a menu of traditional Vietnamese recipes alongside contemporary reinterpretations of classic dishes. Cha gio and monkfish are among the dishes reviewers return to, alongside dumplings and a wine list built to run alongside the food.
A private chef's table is available for guests looking for a more intimate version of the dining room experience.
