Post #2 - August 13th, 2006, 8:57 pmMon Ami Gabi does a very fine job, at least the branch in Las Vegas, so I'll assume they do as well at the home office. Firkin in Libertyville also does a good job on that dish. But best? I have no idea.JiLS

Post #3 - August 14th, 2006, 10:17 amI like le Bouchon for the steak frites and lyonaise salad. Plus it's quite a bargain. They have recently updated the menu and specials as well.
They're on Damen just south of Armitage

Post #4 - August 14th, 2006, 10:35 amI just had steak frites at the Hopleaf and it was... SUPERB!
The steak was done just as I'd asked - medium rare. And the frites were served with the most DELICIOUS aioli mayonnaise.
All washed down with a great Belgian ale... doesn't get much better.

Post #6 - August 14th, 2006, 11:31 amAs mdonovan mentioned above, Hop Leaf offers a very tasty steak-frites dish, more French in style than Belgian in my opinion, but tasty nonetheless (
)... you need to get some greens separately...*

Post #13 - August 20th, 2006, 10:33 amLe Sardine (across from Harpo Studios) has wonderful Steak Frites.
In the suburbs, I've been hard pressed to find better than Retro Bistro in Mt Prospect.Cheap Date Show: Real people. Real restaurant. Real date.

Post #14 - August 25th, 2006, 10:22 amThe steak frites at Bistro Campagne in Linclon Square is a tasty dish. I recently had it after enjoying mussels in a belgian ale broth for a starter. Made for a nice meal.
Once upon a time, La Tache in Andersonville had a good steak frites dish, too. I've only been there once since a change in chefs a while back and my meal wasn't great (I didn't have the steak frites on this most recent trip), so my prior good experience may not be relevant any more.

Post #15 - February 4th, 2018, 4:27 pmAfter having a great steak frites au poivre recently at Miramar in Highwood (and I am also a big fan of the version at Mon Ami Gabi), I thought I'd bump this old thread for current recommendations. I don't mind the typical preparation with maitre'd butter, but I usually go for an au poivre (peppercorn) type sauce. Since I'm in Highland Park, suburban locations near me are my first choice for convenience, but I'm open to any top suggestions.

Post #16 - February 6th, 2018, 2:01 pmJust updating that Mon Ami is still my go-to, but I've had a great (and reasonably-priced) steak frites at Maple & Ash, too.

Post #17 - February 6th, 2018, 4:56 pmLast week, at Pearl Brasserie, had a very good plate of steak frites (with excellent compound butter and frites). It was lunchtime, but with a meal like that, I had to have a glass of red. It seemed wrong not to, and I just always want to do the right thing.“Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere.
