LM joins Chicago French Market

Chicago French Market will take care of all your cravings: Vietnamese, Italian, Mexican, Korean, Indian but there always seemed to be something missing on this list. That certain, je ne sais quoi. Putting a little more francais back in Chicago French Market is LM Restaurant. Lincoln Square's French-gastro-bistro favorite, LM is bringing it's Parisian street fare to the mix.

From their press release:

"LM Café's menu highlights include Le Jambon-Beurre, a buttered baguette with ham, with non-traditional toppings like pickles, cheese and a homemade tomato jam. LM Café also serves three varieties of the classic French sandwich Croque Monsieur: traditional ham and Emmental cheese; smoked salmon; and turkey and Camembert. On the lighter side, LM Café's salads include Nicoise Salad, Chef's Salad and Savoyard Salad, an Eastern France-inspired salad with croutons, frisée, bacon and cheese. Rounding out the menu are Pâté, Rillettes, Fish Terrine and a variety of desserts, including Mousse and Normandy-style rice pudding, Teurgoule."

The Café will open tomorrow, October 12th and prices range from $5 - $7.
