EXCEPTIONAL DINING Margeaux Brasserie, from James Beard award-winning Chef Michael Mina, has opened its doors in Chicago’s historic Gold Coast neighborhood. Located on the third floor of the Waldorf Astoria Chicago at 11 East Walton Place, the restaurant is meant to evoke the feeling of dining at a Parisian café. The menu features elevated French cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients, alongside a robust French wine and cocktail list. Margeaux Brasserie joins Petit Margeaux, a classic French patisserie on the hotel’s lobby level.

Executive Chef Brent Balika, formerly of The Dawson, is at the helm of the kitchens of Margeaux Brasserie and Petit Margeaux and Chef Ashley Torto leads the pastry team. Mina and Balika collaborated to create a menu that focuses on product and technique, while showcasing regional, Midwestern ingredients. Mina has long favored French cuisine for its bold, craveable flavors and exquisite technique along with its capacity to let exceptional ingredients shine. A roaming “Chariot du Fromage” will delight guests with selections of the best cheeses from France.
