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 a wonderful evening at Elske! We started the evening with delicious cocktails and then chose from the a la carte menu. Every dish was excellent. Atmosphere was warm and the restaurant had good energy - and service was spectacular.

    Drinks: Tomato & Pepper, Lemongrass Highball - we loved both but the tomato and pepper was a beautiful surprise. Sweet and refreshing. Mezze/appetizer: Hummus - phenomenal flavor. We were so impressed with the texture, temperature, depth. I only wish there were enough pita chips to enjoy all of the hummus. Pita chip ratio was off balance. Pasta: Pesto Pistachio - delicious but could use more depth in flavor and overall more protein-included items for the cost Carne: Chicken Vesuvio - absolutely delicious, wouldn't change a thing Service: our server was kind but we did find ourselves waiting for them to come around and check on us. Ambiance: beautiful decor & vibe. Again, wouldn't change a thing.

    Had a great dinner. The French onion soup was delicious. So often this type of soup is very salty. This one was seasoned perfectly. The burger was juicy and delicious. Definitely want to return. My only criticism is on a rainy evening, it wasn't clear where one could park. We wound up finding a spot on Randolph. If most of the clientele are taking an Uber, then I guess it doesn't matter. For suburbanites, it's a good thing we know the city.
