Obélix

Iconic/NotableRiver North · French Community-sourced, unverified
📍 700 N Sedgwick St, Chicago, IL 60654

Obélix is a River North French brasserie from the Poilevey brothers, the same family behind Le Bouchon and La Sardine, and it's earned real recognition fast: a James Beard Award nomination and a spot on Chicago Magazine's 2023 best new restaurants list.

$$
Foie gras macarons and a beef Wellington from the Poilevey brothers (Le Bouchon, La Sardine), with a real James Beard nomination behind it.

Escargot, foie gras macarons, and a genuinely excellent beef Wellington are the dishes reviewers keep coming back to by name, backed by a wine list that gets its own praise. Weekend brunch runs alongside dinner service; the restaurant is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and no happy hour is confirmed — this one earns its spot on the strength of the food rather than a discount.

A 4.8-star rating across more than 460 OpenTable reviews is an outstanding, current sample.
