• American • West Loop

PLEASE NOTE: **We can accommodate vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten free, dairy free, nut/peanut free & shellfish free diets. Before booking, please email us at info@elskerestaurant.com regarding any restrictions that are not listed above. We may be unable to accommodate certain restrictions, or diners with multiple restrictions.** Elske means love in Danish, a nod to both David Posey’s Danish mother and the fact that the couple got engaged in Copenhagen. “Our travels in Denmark have really influenced us,” Chef Posey said. “We like that clean, simple aesthetic.” The dining room — all crisp lines, minimalist décor & soft lighting — is anchored by a wide open kitchen on one side & a small patio with a working fireplace on the other. Combined with the friendly service, it creates the impression that you’re eating in a supremely tasteful Scandinavian friend’s weekend home.

Chicago’s cutest little French bistro & wine bar. Coquette is a pink Parisian dream offering modern French cuisine paired with exciting wines and cocktails.Led by Executive Chef Marcos Campos, Culinary Director Erwin Mallet and Executive Pastry Chef Shannah Primiano, Coquette expresses their vision for a modern bistro, where quintessential recipes and iconic dishes are matched with contemporary influences. Though our cuisine may be “nouvelle” our equipment is undeniably primitive, with all cooking done by live-fire ovens and mangal grills. We also feature a dry aging system that blends state-of-the-art technology with methods that go back thousands of years to unleash the flavor and tenderness of the beef, duck and fish prepared in our kitchen. Coquette’s wine list is a playful celebration of France’s most under-appreciated regions and boldest winemakers.

    We had the absolute best dining experience at Coquette! Our fantastic waiter Pat suggested some melt in your mouth delicious courses. We started with Salade Lyonnaise, and for our main we had the Confit De Canard which just fell off the bone it was cooked to perfection and a side of the Pomme Purée, which hands down are the best potatoes I’ve ever experienced. They even brought us Champagne & dessert to help us celebrate the special occasion. We even got an incredible invitation to have a glass behind the bar with their talented bartender Daniel. Erwin the chef, took incredible care of us the whole night, and truly went above & beyond. It was truly a memorable experience we won’t forget. Will absolutely be coming back and would highly recommend Coquette to anyone!
