Dining room at Kiki's Bistro, Chicago, ILThis is one of the best bistros in Chicago, and it’s an oasis in a desert of mediocre restaurants attempting to do the same thing. Quiet and civilized, Kiki's is a French country inn in spirit. Nothing seems to escape the eye of proprietor Georges Kiki Cuisance, whose steadiness extends to his sharply dressed waitstaff. We can honestly say that we have never had a bad meal here, or that service has not been topnotch. We favor the daily fish specials as well as the steak frites, salade niçoise and, for dessert, the crème brûlée---the chocolate on the bottom adds a particular panache. You’ll find most every bistro staple, from duck confit to lemony roasted chicken to escargots, but you’ll also find other rustic choices like lamb stew loaded with turnips, potatoes and carrots. Wines are fairly priced. Enjoy wine flights and cheese plates in the bar in the evening when you’re in the mood for a snack.
