Le Bernardin: Where Seafood is the Star
Le Bernardin is one of the premier gourmand destinations for seafood lovers. Opened by Gilbert Le Coze and his sister Maguy Le Coze as Les Moines de St. Bernardin in 1972, the brother/sister team decided to transport this culinary excellence to New York City and reopened as Le Bernardin in 1986.
Chicago’s coffee and pastry scene is on a roll, literally. From buttery croissants to flaky buns stuffed with all sorts of delicious surprises, this is one city that knows how to do breakfast ( and snack time) properly. Sure, you can still find your classic drip and a plain scone, if that’s your thing, but why settle for basic when you can have a longanisha stuffed croissant or a latte that is the epitome of balanced and silky smooth.
