Le Colonial · Chicago
French-Vietnamese glamour in a 1920s Saigon townhouse off the Gold Coast
Why we recommend Le Colonial in Chicago
Le Colonial recreates the languid glamour of 1920s Saigon inside a townhouse just off the Gold Coast on Oak Street. Rattan chairs, slow ceiling fans, banana-leaf greenery, and sepia photographs make it one of the more transporting rooms in the city, and the upstairs cocktail lounge keeps a livelier crowd late into the night.
What to expect in the room and on the menu
The kitchen, led by executive chef Amanda Barnes, works through French-inflected Vietnamese classics built for sharing. Bo luc lac, the wok-seared shaking beef, is the signature order, alongside com chien signature fried rice, cari tom (jumbo shrimp in curried coconut), and bo sate filet mignon with yams and long beans. Start with the fresh spring rolls and a cocktail upstairs before
