We had brunch at Maison Parisienne on Clark (the location near Wrightwood) on Saturday. The food was excellent. My wife and I both loved the salade maison (with a dijon dressing), she loved her dagobert and almond croissant, I enjoyed my quiche lorraine and raisin swirl pastry. I was surprised and taken aback that there were no refills on my coffee, and I had to go to the counter, wait my turn to order and pay for a second cup. Also, I noticed they add a 3% service charge in addition to any tip... you can ask to have the 3% charge removed (which I did not) but I think that is malarkey. Just another charge for which vendors used the pandemic as an excuse, and now they are keeping because they like the money. The food was excellent, the service was adequate but because of those petty things they do to increase their take, I doubt we will be in a hurry to go back there. And yes, I did leave a 20% tip on the meal (which was $25 per person prix fixe, but not on the coffee refill.

We walked here from the Zachary Hotel and it was so worth it! I haven't had such flakey crunchy delicious croissants since I was last in Europe. The pistachio croisssant was heavenly. We also delighted in the tomato and goat cheese quiche. You can take everything to go or enjoy your food in the charming seating area. The staff are friendly and attentive. Two thumbs up!

This location is more of a coffee shop, closes early afternoon. Espresso drinks are OK. The almond bars are pretty good, chocolate chip cookies are more like sugar cookies than traditional American ones.

Ordered a turkey baguette sandwich..decided to sit down to eat it. I was charged several dollars more for the sandwich because I sat down (??!!) I asked why and was told because I get a plate and a salad. I didn’t order a salad nor did I want one ..or eat it. Don’t charge customers extra to take a seat to eat their food.and wash an plate…outrageous. 1700 for a turkey and Swiss baguette..Please..

Food below average! Bakery items stale and overpriced! We were overcharged with no apologies! Sad service, fake decor and dying lemon trees!

We enjoyed our croissant breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The staff was very welcoming and kind and our food was delicious! I did feel it was a bit expensive ($40 for two sandwiches and small coffees), but when in Paris...

A wonderful, leisurely paced Parisian late-breakfast. The quiche and croissant were miraculous. Highly recommend to all.

Even though the restaurant is no longer run by Parisians, the food is still pretty good. Osha, the manager is great. She makes the experience even better.

This is one of two places in the city with the best croissants. It is small like a Paris bakery. There is some seating. Espresso is good. They also serve quiche but I did not have it. A gem!

This cafe has the best French pastries in Chicago, hands down. Don't bother with the mediocre croissants and eclaires at the trendy spots downtown or the cafes trying too hard with fancy decor. Instead travel here to this north side gem for the most perfectly flaky, slightly crisp crusts and whipped, light creams with rich flavors. And if you're lucky they will have the Paris-brest as their pastry of the day - the best pastry I've had in the US since my travels in Europe. Oh if only Chicago had more bakeries like this one...

This restaurant is run by a French chef trained in Paris. The food is amazing, authentically French, and delicious. The owners, both from Paris, import many of their ingredients from France, and it shows. The food is fresh, the service is excellent, and the owners are very friendly. There is an outdoor eating space behind the restaurant (weather permitting), and there is ample seating inside. We have brought many friends to this restaurant who have loved it, and we all go back for more.

Perfect French croissant and bread. It was a shame for the attitude on a Saturday of the short French guy at the counter. He looked annoyed when I asked him (in French) if he spoke French since I speak French too. Would give 5 stars for the food, but they lost 2 stars for his attitude in terms of his service. They also had an annoying “survey” tip box staying something like “some say men tip better than women” and then asking what people thought by tipping on one side of the box based on gender. Really???? I of course tipped (despite this French guy) but their message on the box didn’t seem quite right as of course there are many factors that can effect tips.

Our Airbnb was very close to this cute little place. It looked so charming we had to stop in and try it. We had their crepes and quiche. Oh man were they good! Maison Parisienne has a small seating area inside and then a nice patio out back. Definitely give this place a try for a great authentic dining experience.

These are the only croissants I’ve been able to eat since going to Paris. This place imports its flour, butter, and chocolate from France, the chef is French, and the result is the most delicious croissant I’ve eaten in the US.

This little cafe and restaurant is run by several young people from France who have made this location a delightful place for take-out, breakfast and lunch. It somehow feels a little bit like France in there. Many of the ingredients, such as flour, are imported from France, which gives a genuine French taste to baguettes, etc., that you don't find at other French bakeries in town. I come here often, and while the menu is limited, I have always been happy with my meal or snack there.
