A Classic French Bistro in the heart of Edison Park has been a dream of Executive Chef and owner Joe Calabrese for several years. Joe was professionally trained at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America located in Hyde Park, New York. Before opening his other restaurant, Zia’s Trattoria (located one block west of Café Touché at 6699 N. Northwest Highway) in 1997, he was sharpening his professional – and knife – skills at several well-respected Chicago dining establishments including Ambria, Spiagia, Un Grand Cafe and the Park Hyatt. Joe lives in Park Ridge, a few short miles from the restaurants, so expet to see him in both restaurants assuring a quality experience for his customers. On days off, Joe can be found at home with his wife, Mary Kay and their 3 boys. Reservations by phone: 773-775-0909. The only reservation restrictions are on Friday and Saturday, parties of five or more only. Café Touché is located at 6731 N. Northwest Highway, Chicago (Edison Park), I

    This was our first time at Cafe Touche and we will definitely be going back! It was the neighborhood's kick-off to St. Patrick's day week "Going Green" and this French restaurant did a wonderful job of staying true to its wonderful French food while playing some Irish music and embracing the spirit of the day on the Main Street. The menu options had great variety and the food was extremely well prepared and delicious.

    The special meal for Mardi Gras was a great deal and VERY tasty. It is a bit crowded with tables very close to each other. Making the noise level pretty loud. But the food and service were on point.

    The food was very good, but the noise level was horrible. Need better acoustics. May try on a weekday.
