Chicago, IL
Harry currently ranks 10 french spots in Chicago, scoring 72–93 on the Harry Score. 4 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $$ to $$$$.
French cooking is a bet placed entirely on technique, which is why Harry likes scoring it: there is nowhere to hide. The stock either took two days or it didn't. The beurre blanc either held or it split. He is not paying for the accent or the candle — he is paying for the sauce work.
Ranked by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
