Our party of four dined at Touche on a Saturday evening at 8:00 p.m. The restaurant was very crowded and noisy as we were seated, but the service was attentive for the most part and the meal went smoothly. My dinner of Onion soup and the Entrecote de Beouf (a N.Y. strip with french fries) was acceptable but not memorable.... More

Escargots excellent though baguette not crispy enough crust to be perfect compliment to the garlic butter sauce. Croque Madame excellent sandwich and ordered with Parmesan truffle our frites - what a treat! Nice wine choices and also enjoyed Chamay Trappist monk ale - the best to go with the very rich sandwich. Go for it - nice place in the... More

I went to brunch this past Sunday and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. I definately will return sometime soon.

Went to this corner "bistro" (What's a bistro?) in Edison Park for late brunch on Sunday. We were there around 12:30; the place was crowded but they seated my wife and I immediately. There probably is a wait at more popular times. The crowd was mixed: couples, after church families, groups of women having breakfast, and a cross section of... More

We were attending a conference in the O'Hare area and wanted a nearby restaurant that was not a chain. Atmosphere: Pretty, open, elegant windows. Noise level was lively but we could hear each other. The reason four stars instead of five is that the tables are way, way, way too close. They tried to squeeze too many people into too... More

The decor of Cafe Touche was honestly what sold me on this restaurant. It was decorated for the holiday's when I dined there and it was just stunning inside. It reminds me of what all little French bistro's should look like. The menu however was a bit surprising given the perhaps more elegant scale of the restaurant. I hadn't expected... More

Everything was lovely- the decor, the service, the lighting, and the food was excellent. Four different people ordered four different entrees - 2 beef, one chicken and one fish- and we all were most pleased. And the prices are very reasonable. In a city where it seems that 75% of restaurants are Italian, this French bistro is a gem.

Thought the menu was great. Escargot was very good. Ordered the 1/2 duck. Not sure if this duck came from Chernobyl, but the 1/2 duck had 2 legs. Sauce & wild rice were great. Duck was good. Disappointed with the French wine selection. Would have loved an'05 Bordeaux but their wines were all way too recent. Had a 2009 Bordeaux,... More
