Reviews for Chicago French Market in Chicago, IL
A very nice execution of a market hall, with a little bias towards French cuisine. Good curation of vendors and an atmosphere... reminiscent of a market hall. Read more

Chicago's French Market is a nice little gem, well hidden and not all that big. There's a lot of options and good variety... although it seems vegetarian and vegan options are not that common. Friendly atmosphere and loads of people during lunch timefrom surrounding offices. Read more
Micheal the manager was so rude he called Security on customers who ask for a refund. My daughters and I was surrounded by the... manager Michael and the security guard . As if I did something completely wrong . I asked several I received poor help becausemy daughters and I was surrounded by Security guard and management. I wanted a refund because the owner of the store had verynasty attitude towards her customer. I will not book another Groupon because I NEVER WANT THAT HAPPEN AGAIN! My girls aretraumatize because so many people was called on us like like we did something drastically wrong. No one should have to gothrough that especially my young girls . Please take Kathryn off of Groupon ! times for a refund. I will never step foot in thisestablishment ever again ! If you are black please don?t come to this Establishment is racist! Yes I agree I won?t be back thankyou for sorry response! Read more
So, I order from here occasionally and am never disappointed. Today, was an order of Kathryn's Soul K-Soul Bowl with jerk... chicken (she offers non-jerk spiced too), Vanille croissant, and a being Taco Tuesday ???? I felt the need for a chicken tacofrom Buen Appetito. Okay, Kathryn's was killing me on Instagram. The K-Soul Bowl image had me breaking my vegan (poor attemptat) lifestyle. I already know this gal is a fab chef, so let's try this jerk chicken mixed with corn, gravy all over her mashedpotatoes. I'm not EVEN gonna attempt to put this into MyFitnessPal for fear it will crash the app. The K-Soul Bowl I receivedwas 1.15lbs. Yep! Over a pound. Nope! Can't finish it. It's dinner for next few days. How does this incredible woman make money?The portions she gives out should make other restaurants ashamed!! The taste is freaking delectable. And in my opinion, not toospicy. Soul food at its best. Not too salty, either. Kathryn's Soul... my comfort food. 11 stars out if 10! Here's a tip, ifyou are part of the AAdvantage Dining, Kathryn's Soul is listed on there. Check it out for details. I appreciate it because Ican collect my miles if i buy using their link following their guidelines. Next up: Buen Appetito... my first order. I gottheir chicken taco. The appointments and side sauces were abundant. The red one was way too hot but the green, maybe tomatillosauce(?) was perfect and drenched my double corn tortilla tacos perfectly. I'd actually give this taco a 10 out of 10. Last:Vanille... my croissant craving covered. Every time I bite into these incredible pastries, I feel like Emily in Paris and thefirst time she ever tried one too. It's love at first bite. Definitely a 10 out of 10! After I eat Vanille's croissants myFrench accent comes out and it's really thick... and I'm not even from France. I'm a Chicago gal...and with all these greatrestaurant options, I'm thrilled about that. Delivery fee is high at $7, but the prices are not inflated Read more
OMG! I can't believe I'm a Native Chicagoan and overlooked this charming collection of food vendors and locally owned boutique... style shops! Today I took a long leisurely hike from the West loop back to River North and finally ran into the French Marketlocated within the Canal street Metra station. I found so many tempting food vendors and chose Frietkoten Belgian Fries becauseit's been ages since I've had genuine Belgian Friet prepared with dipping sauces. I took my time chatting with a couple offriendly female professionals on their lunch break then explored a bit of crystals ???? that were set on display by Michael whodoes a wonderful job helping out customers at the information desk. Michael told me the crystal vendor was away at a Rosemontcrystal convention but he'd be happy to help me make a purchase and help me pay the owner since he knew his contactinformation. I must have spent a couple hours here just eating and wandering around and met so many interesting characters. Igor Irbe owns a map design shop here so go have a look and absorb the good vibes! I am so thankful to Michael today forproviding me with useful advice and making my shopping experience more magically enfused! ???? I'm definitely looking forwardto future visits! Oh and they do allow service animals here and go have a look at the Barking Spot Bakery because they haveplenty of gourmet treats for dogs and cats ???? here too! Read more
Adding a star for owner?s response. Here is original review: Horrible. Run in the other direction. Went in April 2022. There is... nothing French about it. Dim sum and crepes? Really? Crepes alone do not make a market French. There are no French groceries.Worst of all the Vanille pastries were inedible and really cold and stale. And they did not have any forks. Threw out thecitrus tart, ate one bite of the cheesecake which was awful and rubbery and didn?t bother tasting by the third pastry. Vanillewould be better off closing this location than having its brand damaged. Read more
An interesting downtown outlet for food and produce. There are dozens of stalls. The food is of average quality. Worth a try... anyway. Read more
