What People Are Saying About Bistro Campagne
Featured Review

In Short – Lincoln Square locals call this Prairie-style restaurant their resident bistro, a community staple for farm-fresh, rustic eats. A bright bar area and bustling dining room beckons an all-ages crowd of families and couples, while a romantic patio lush with flowers and greenery . A mosaic-tiled fountain enhances the loveliness. A traditional bistro menu covers all the classics, from steak frites to Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame to a juicy braised rabbit leg and loin paired with Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and mustard sauce. – –
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- Check out the beer list, which includes a nice selection of Belgian brews like Chimay and Rochefort.
- Outdoor Dining:
- A lush garden right next to the restaurant provides the perfect urban escape in spring and summer, and also a lovely venue for wedding and baby showers.
- Parking:
- The metered spots on Lincoln are tough to score, so try for a space in the public lot across from the restaurant. Pay for parking at the computerized meter, and display the ticket on your dashboard.

world class dining experience
by karenmdorn at Citysearch
I have dined around the globe (including in France), & this was one of the best meals ever, from start to finish. Great cocktails while we waited for a patio table, enchanting ambiance both in & out, the patio sparkled with lights among the trees & bushes. Onion strudel is a must have, mussels, sauteed greens, & gratin were fantastic. Great wine & beer list, attentive server, gracious management. Would return (from out of town) in a heartbeat!
- Pros: ambiance, service, food, drink selection
- Cons: none

Delicious, Romantic, Charming
by hanktheman at Citysearch
My boyfriend and I celebrated the new year at this adorably quaint restaurant. It was our first visit and we could not have been more pleased. They were absolutely full during our entire visit (New Years Eve) but we still received wonderful service and attention. It is a small place which makes it feel warm and cozy. Both of us had exquisite meals and the wine AND beer list were awesome. Considering the quality of the food, and the service, we thought the prices were exceptional. We have spent MUCH more out in Chicago and have not received such delicious food or excellent service. We will be returning when the weather is warmer to enjoy another wonderful meal outside!!
- Pros: value, service, ambience

Unstuffy, Country French place you'll love...
by dendau at Citysearch
We loved this place. Our server was French- not that it mattered, but it did add to the authenticity of the experience. The chicken was juicy and delicious. Wine list was not extensive, but they have a decent selection. Romantic atmosphere in a hot neighborhood!
- Pros: Great atmosphere & food is solid
- Cons: Can feel a bit cramped with a party of 4 or more

Unimpressed
by mahernbrit at Citysearch
I thoroghly enjoyed the decor of Bistrot Compagne, and the layout of the menu seemed appealing. However, I felt the service was average to poor, and the food unimpressive. I ordered a ketel one and tonic, they were out of ketel one. We were the first table on a Saturday...mmmm. The leg of lamb came out warm on a plate of cold rice, and the rice was NOT supposed to be cold. The souffle took twenty minutes to come out and it was so unimpressive. Our tab for 4 was $151 with tip. I want to give them another chance, but there's no way I would pay this much for so little effort. This place should not be a 9+ rated restaurant. Go to Bistrot Zinc downtown instead.
- Pros: Environment
- Cons: Food, Price, Service

Heavy-handed cooking, all-American desserts
by senatorsmith at Citysearch
Unremarkable restaurant serving heavy-handed interpretations of classic French bistro fare in an uninspired ambience. Desserts, despite French names appear to resemble those found at American casual chains like Applebee's or TGI Friday's. Signature chocolate souffle presentation was closer to lava cake -- with an unmelted chocolate center! I would not go out of my way to visit this restaurant again.
- Pros: Spacious, Quick turnaround
- Cons: Heavy-handed cooking, Skimpy portions, Uninspired ambience
