Maison Laurent
A celebration of classical French cuisine in the heart of Chicago. Intimate, unhurried, and entirely devoted to the pleasure of the table.
A table unlike any other
Chef Laurent Moreau trained under three Michelin-starred kitchens in Lyon and Paris before bringing his vision to Chicago in 2008. Maison Laurent seats just 42 guests each evening, ensuring every dish receives the attention it deserves. Our relationships with French producers and local Midwestern farms allow us to present ingredients at their absolute peak. We do not rush. We do not compromise. We simply cook.

Words of Praise
"Maison Laurent is the finest restaurant in Chicago, full stop. The duck confit is transcendent. Chef Moreau's cooking is a love letter to France written in the language of the Midwest."
"We celebrated our 25th anniversary here. Every detail — from the amuse-bouche to the petit fours — was impeccable. The sommelier's pairing was revelatory. We will return for every milestone."
"I've eaten at three-Michelin-star restaurants across Europe. Maison Laurent belongs in that conversation. The sole meunière brought me to tears — I am not embarrassed to admit it."
"The tasting menu is one of the great dining experiences in this country. Seven courses, each more beautiful than the last. The wine pairing made everything sing."
"We hosted an important client dinner in the private room and it exceeded every expectation. The service was so discreet and professional that my clients asked for the card on the way out."
"The chocolate soufflé is the single greatest dessert I have ever eaten. We ordered two and I regret nothing. Book ahead — this restaurant fills for weeks."
