Bistro Campagne in Lincoln Square charms with its cozy wood accents, fresh seasonal French fare, and a picturesque garden patio that feels like a getaway.
"Bistro Campagne’s courtyard is charming, with brick walls, ivy, and lots of plants and trees. It’s also one of the best-kept secrets in Lincoln Square, which means the crowd (to the extent that there is one) seems to be filled with mostly regulars. Stick with French classics like escargot and boeuf bourguignon, and plan on ordering a second bottle of wine as an excuse to spend more time here. Who knows, maybe you’ll become a regular, too." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Bistro Campagne’s courtyard has brick walls, ivy, and lots of plants, and perfect for a quaint spot to have a romantic dinner outside. This French restaurant is also one of the best-kept secrets in Lincoln Square, which means the crowd (to the extent that there is one) is mostly regulars. You can eat inside, too (the lovely little dining room is full of dark wood and tablecloths), but the outdoor patio is primarily where it's at. Stick with French classics, like escargot and boeuf bourguignon, and congratulate yourself on finding such a cute place." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen

"This French bistro is an always popular spot in Lincoln Square. People all over Chicago seem to know it and it never disappoints. Don’t take our word for it—they have a 4.4 star rating on OpenTable out of 1,642 reviews! If you’re looking for a fancier experience, this place is it. The tables are dressed with linen and the food is upscale and quite delicious. The chefs try to capture and express the same quality found in favorite small neighborhood bistros found in Paris and rural France. If it’s warm out, try to grab a spot in their garden. It’s absolutely gorgeous and makes you feel like you just traveled to a far away land. Stay there into the dark and sip cocktails under the strings of lights hanging from the trees. It’s a great romantic spot for date night." - Knoed Creative
