Bistro Campagne

Bistro Campagne has been a cornerstone of Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood since 2002, dedicated to the traditions of authentic French bistro cuisine. Our commitment to organic, locally sourced ingredients reflects our support for sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring every dish showcases the highest quality seasonal produce. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Adam Grandt, our culinary team crafts approachable French fare that honors the simplicity and elegance of classic techniques. Our craft bar program features an all-French wine list, European and local beers, and seasonal cocktails made with small-batch spirits and house-made components. We foster a welcoming, inclusive environment where guests feel part of the Bistro family, whether dining in our main dining room, private event space, or seasonal outdoor garden.

With a team of seasoned professionals, including General Manager Alex Uribe, we maintain the vision established by our founder Chef Michael Altenberg, who pioneered Chicago's farm-to-table movement. Our menu evolves with the seasons while staying true to the foundational principles of French cuisine, and our private event venue, The Cottage, offers a unique setting for celebrations up to 48 guests. We operate with transparency, including a 3% surcharge to maintain quality while offsetting rising operational costs. Through decades of collective experience and a passion for hospitality, we continue to celebrate Chef Altenberg's legacy of respecting ingredients and creating memorable dining experiences.
