Brasserie JO

®

Everyday French

In a world where even ethnic restaurants sometimes bill themselves as "brasserie," it's reassuring to know you can still find the real thing – in the heart of Chicago!

When chef-owner J. Joho from Everest opened Brasserie Jo, the demanding James Beard House proclaimed it the "Best New Restaurant in the U.S." GQ magazine judged it has "one of the top bars" in the country. And to thousands of Chicagoans, it's the city's only authentic French brasserie. Break into a loaf of crusty baguette, taste the classic Tartes Flambé, Steak Frites, sautéed Skate Wing and world-renowned Profiteroles.

Whether partying with friends in the Paris-designed all season Winter Garden, relaxing in the summer on the sidewalk cafe, the genuine French fare, wine and beer collections, and joie de vivre make it clear: This is the real thing. Vive le Brasserie!

"Four-star food at one-star prices"
