Café Bernard is an authentic country French bistro located at North Halsted Street, in the heart of Chicago's lively Lincoln Park.

The restaurant also features a Sidewalk Café which opens during warmer months.

Try shiitake mushrooms and goat cheese in a phyllo dough and steamed mussels with white wine, cream, and shallots among starters. If you prefer salads then consider spinach with roasted goat cheese, roasted tomatoes, and balsamic vinaigrette. For main course order braised boneless half chicken with roasted garlic and anise, and grilled North Atlantic salmon with cabernet sauvignon sauce. A white chocolate mousse with berries and cappuccino cheese cake can end the meal on a sweet note. The extensive wine list presents a collection of appealing French wines to choose from.
