We were attending a conference in the O'Hare area and wanted a nearby restaurant that was not a chain. Atmosphere: Pretty, open, elegant windows. Noise level was lively but we could hear each other. The reason four stars instead of five is that the tables are way, way, way too close. They tried to squeeze too many people into too... More

Same owner as Zia's down the street, great service nice decor, valet parking. Area full of good to excellent restaurants. One of the few places that is really comfortable to eat a good meal in a very pleasant atmosphere

The decor of Cafe Touche was honestly what sold me on this restaurant. It was decorated for the holiday's when I dined there and it was just stunning inside.

I went for dinner during a recent business trip held near O'Hare airport. It was a $20 cab ride, each way, to and from the restaurant, with tip, and I'm not sure worth it. The room is large, open and dimly lit and there are outside tables which we chose since the (live) music was loud. There is an extensive... More

I was couchsurfing with Jeremiah and his wife Larisa in Edison Park, a part of Chicago which, despite growing up in Evanston and going to school in Chicago, I was not familiar with. Wanting to repay their hospitality with a dinner, Larisa suggested that we try Cafe Touche so we hoofed the 10 minutes from Harlem over to meet Jeremiah... More
