Venteux Brasserie, Cafe & Oyster Bar Reviews

Great Cafe near the magnificent mile. The French Toast and the egg croissant were amazing! The egg white omelet was a little bland or I would have given it a 5 of 5

We came here for a coffee and something sweet. Besides the fact that it's quite expensive and we paid 38$ for 2 cappuccinos and 2 cakes, served in paper boxes and cups, the staff was unexpectedly rude.Before leaving, I went to throw away the cups in the trash bin and my sister went to ask them what to do with the metal forks they gave us. After I threw the cups, and heard a weird noise, the blonde girl who took our order approached us and was like "Really? Really? So disrespectful!" and then she put a trash bag inside. I mean....If you serve me paper boxes and cups in a relatively expensive place, at least you should make sure you put a trash bag for the customers to throw away the trash. I even looked inside the little trash hole before throwing the cups, but it was dark and I thought there was a bag inside. I didn't do it on purpose. It was very rude and disrespectful from her to make me look stupid in front of all those people, it could happen to any of their customers, because they apparently don't know their responsibilities well enough and then blame it in customers. I should have went to Starbucks really, she ruined my mood for the entire day!😅

We had a wonderful weekend brunch experience in their cafe. The food was great - we ordered a croissant egg sandwich, a croque madam and an eggs benedict ... all very good. The cafe was beautiful with the green calming decor. The tables were very well spaced out so it didn't feel crowded. The service was great. Definitely would go back again next time we are in Chicago.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. Service was professional and attentive. We were seated in a banquet and made for a very intimate dinner. Oysters were delicious, and steak and salmon were really good too!

Look, I'm single, but my friends and I love coming here for happy hour. We always enjoyed the happy hour menu and special cocktails (no longer available :( ). We take pics of food on occasion. But this was an overdue catch up with friends dinner and conversation - we didn't look at our phones once. So sorry - no photos of the food. It was nicely presented except as noted below. This was our first time eating in the restaurant and trying their Wednesday Date Night menu. $75 for two and 50% off bottles of wine. We were also able to make a reservation on Open Table for the "date night" menu, but it isn't required. I highly recommend reservations for happy hour or dining in the restaurant. Given our many wonderful happy hours experiences, we expected the same great food and service. The service was top notch as always......the food was only average - and we let the server and manager know. They started us with an amuse of the their Gruyère Gougères with truffle honey. SO GOOD! One of our favorites on the happy hour menu. The puffs are perfectly cooked crisp outside, soft inside. The cheese and just the right amount of truffle in that beautiful honey. Perfect mouthful. Menu is three courses and you each pick from one of two options with a shared dessert. First course: French Onion Soup or Salad - we went for the soup - weather has turned cooler here. It had a good depth of flavor with enough cheese and croutons. Unfortunately wasn't very hot and served in a tall bowl that made all that cheesy stringiness tough to manage. Second course: New York Strip with peppercorn dressing, fondant potatoes and greens or Salmon. We selected the steak and this is really where the meal went wrong. We love medium rare and it was cooked as ordered. Unfortunately, the fat had not been rendered or crisped and a large line of gristle no trimmed. Peppercorns tasted like detergent and we pushed them off along with the sauce. Fondant potatoes were terrific. Again served room temperature. I ate half of mine and gave up trying to trim as I ate. Manager let us know they are changing this menu and will move to a filet mignon from a strip. I love a NY Strip but if you can trim and cook - don't serve it to me. They apologized. Dessert is to be shared so you select one: Lychee Crème Brûlée and something else unmemorable. We love us some bruleed sugar! The lychee was wonderful sweet and tart and nice change from the regular. Sadly the sugar on top was burnt - like black burned...so we scraped that off and dug under and dove in. Really enjoyable and highlight of the meal. I recommend their happy hour.

The food was top notch!! Great choices for both brunch and dinner. Definitely have reservations. The oysters and scallops were fab!!

My husband and I love French restaurants so we were excited to try this spot for brunch before a wedding. My Croque Monsieur was delicious, along with the salad. The atmosphere is nice. I'd like to try it again for a late afternoon dinner.

The manager, Lindy cleaned the table with used napkins and after we asked her to clean it with another one she screamed at us. The food was overall good, but obviously that experience gives a bad image of the restaurant. After that, the waiters treated us good and Lindy never apologized.

Great experience with ingredients layered together that I have not experienced prior to this visit. Interesting and full of flavors that worked. Great, friendly service despite the obvious lack of front of house help.

Amazing food and service. They also have an incredible Happy Hour that ends at 7pm :).I will definitely have to come back to try out their cafe, it is beautiful

Went for lunch, pretty limited menu. Had the banh mi sandwich, beautifully plated with a nice salad. The short rib meat was flavorful but skimpy. The seasonings were very good, fresh & zippy, but beware the jalapeños tucked into the sandwich if you’re not into heat.

It had been a long day, and I had planned to cancel my reservation. I am glad I didn't because Venteux turned out to be a high point in my trip to Chicago. When I got there, the place was busy, but still had a relaxed feel to it-buzzy but not loud. The atmosphere was enhanced by the evening-level lighting. The food was excellent-the French Onion soup was interesting (in a good way) through its use of fresh herbs to enhance the flavor. The roast chicken was also very good and filled its role as the ultimate comfort food. And the creme brulee was excellent, with an excellent mix of vanilla and orange flavors. All in all, the food was brasserie-esque, straighforward and well executed. However, Shalease, who took care of me that evening, was the star of the show. Shalease was professional, but engaging, knowing how to make my day better without being intrusive. Shalease was able to get a smile out of me and guide me through a great dinner. For the food and Shalease, I look forward to a return trip soon!

Delicious food, great service. We ate pappardelle with short ribs and pasta with lobster. Both were great, to end we ate a delicious lemon souffle

After having wonderful breakfasts there we had a beautiful dinner. The food was only excelled but superior service.

Very good cheerful service. Food quite poor to dull. Steak frites quite mediocre ....very very ordinary frites akin to frozen from supermarket. vegetables swamped in seemingly canned sauce. Beans inedible. Pate satisfactory only Manager recommended mashed truffle potato to dip frites into.. WHAT? we did that against our better judgement but very sorry we ordered. Very cheerful attentive staff. Bare tables. Oh yes the kerosene candles were good but otherwise naked tables of fake wood. Velvet banquette seats too low for normal people. Very disappointing meal. Most patrons on phones. We are sorry we stayed.

Is it my imagination or is the number of chic French bistros in Chicago growing day by day? The latest to catch our attention is Venteux Brasserie, Cafe & Oyster Bar. Located at 224 North Michigan Avenue, in the glitzy Pendry Hotel, in the Loop, at Wacker and Lake, it offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. My wife and I decided to have breakfast at Venteux Brasserie before embarking on a visit to the nearby Art Institute of Chicago and Millennium Park. But we were so impressed by our morning meal that we opted to return for a late lunch. Open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Venteux Brasserie features a menu of delicious dishes that couldn't have been more suitable if I had written it myself. For breakfast, we had warm baguettes with jam and French whipped butter, yogurt and granola, oatmeal with maple syrup and fruit, French toast with peanut butter, home-made jam and sausage and Eggs Benedict with two poached eggs, serano ham and hollandaise sauce over a brioche donut and a side of sausage. For lunch, we had shrimp cocktail, escargot, bowls of French onion soup with sourdough, gruyere, chive and roasted beef broth, a grilled chicken sandwich with gruyere, shredded lettuce, caramelized balsamic onion and a secret sauce in a brioche bun with fries and a Venteux burger with gruyere, garlic aioli, tomato and bacon with fries. For dessert, we shared large portions of flourless chocolate cake with chocolate glaze and chocolate ganache and strawberry cake with a strawberry biscuit, vanilla cream and strawberry glaze. The French are here and it looks like they are here to stay.

I was so looking forward to going here after all the reviews I read. The cushioned benches are so low that you feel like a 8 year-old at the table. Service was slow. The corn was good. That was it. I had the gem salad that had way too much dressing. My roasted chicken was rubbery and almost seemed raw. The creamed spinach is spinach topped with some cheese (little) and some brown butter. Basically, you are getting cooked spinach. My last time there. French cuisine is known for their sauces and unusual dishes. This place delivers neither. Plus, $130 for 1 lb. of king crab legs is ludicrous.

This was close by our hotel and we wanted just a light lunch. It purports to be a French brasserie and its offerings certainly include what you’d find in a regular brasserie in France. However, it also has items that you’d never see in a brasserie, e.g. panini. We chose a salad niçoise and a croque Monsieur. The niçoise was lovely. The croque was also delicious, but enormous - at least twice the size of anything we’ve had in France. It was just too overwhelming. Fries were excellent, but again, far too many. Not really the experience we expected. Not terrible by any means, but we felt over-faced by the volume of food. However, the staff were polite and the venue was clean. With water and 2 glasses of wine, the bill exceeded $100. We didn’t think that was particularly good value for money.

Beautiful restaurant right off Michigan Avenue. Had seafood for appetizer and it was good. However entrees were mediocre and overpriced. Chicken sandwich was supposed to have harissa but there was nothing, just plain chicken sandwich. Several of us had steak frites. meat was tough and over seasoned. It was also not the right cut of beef for steak frites. le Bouchon or Mon Ami Gabi are much better. It was missing the beurre maître d’hôtel. Fries were super salty. Lobster cob not that great. Service is weird as the waiter brings the silverware’s in a box after the meal is served so we were all waiting for forks and knifes with our food in front of us. Same for coffees, they were getting cold waiting for the spoons. Desserts Ok. Will not go back

3 1/2 dots. The space has been nicely redone, the food is good, the service not too polished, but friendly. The brie appetizer is a mini loaf of slightly tough bread, very sweet with a lot of fig jam inside with the sour brie, and a generous helping of honey on top; though quite large, it still doesn’t rate the $19 price tag. The egg & cheddar croissant is excellent, eggs Benedict very good.

One of the better places for breakfast. The food was good and reasonable sized portions. We liked in so much we eat here three times (once for lunch). Portions are a reasonable size and good coffee.

The atmosphere and ambience is fantastic. The whole restaurant looks gorgeous with an art deco feel with really nice and comfortable booths. Went during brunch. Got the house breakfast and a cappuccino. Cappuccino was nice and hot, good coffee. The breakfast was alright. The potatoes didn’t have much flavor, and I needed to salt my scrambled eggs. You only get one sausage but it was delicious. The bread they use for their toast is also delicious. My friend got the croissant sandwich was incredible. The egg was cooked perfectly and the sriracha aioli perfectly cut through the richness and salt of the bacon and eggs. Service was a touch slow but it was okay, it gave a nice air to our dining experience and let us enjoy our coffee.

My girlfriend and I who regularly travel to Paris together booked this restaurant and were so completely blown away we came back the next night!!! Serena at the check in desk is a darling smile to set the tone for the evening... Our first night Chanel was our fabulous server who made perfect recommendations and had us smiling all night. Hunter the assistant manager checked on us many times throughout the evening. Chef Don, however, stole the show making a special Mussel prep for us and arranging incredible gluten free bread for me. The Mussels, duck liver paté and short ribs and steak tartar were Devine. Chef Don arranged for our favorite bottle of wine to be chilling the next night even though he was off. Marisa took care of us the second night and had our favorite bottle of wine chilling for when we arrived. She was fantastic and our evening was impeccable. The Duck for 2 is sublime. There is a special walnut sauce that is used during the aging process.... Wines are reasonable and a very nice selection. The aura of the restuarant is friendly and inviting and Chef Don is a humble lovely talent that we will be visiting often. This francophile is in her happy place!!!

Salty food from the baked brie down to the french onion soup. The bread wasn’t fresh, hard and overly toasted. Oysters were small but ok. The booth table was uncomfortably tight. Service was subpar. Ordered a couple bottles of champagne at $80 a pop. Then found out they retail for $19. Talking about up charging, most def felt bamboozled. The restaurant gives, wanna be more than what it is. $293 …wasn’t worth it at all.

We +have been waiting to try Veneux for months. It is a beautiful venue and the staff are amazingly friendly and accomadating. However, the bottomless is super controlled and my food came out cold. Still delicious! The overall experience was deightful!

We stayed at the Pendry for the weekend to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had as many food and drink experiences as we could pack into a couple of days. First off, the entire waitstaff was unfailingly friendly and appropriately but not annoyingly attentive. Loved them all. Next, we tried happy hour foods and drinks mainly due to other scheduled events and were easily able to make a meal or otherwise bites to just experience different dishes. Then, because our hotel package included complimentary breakfast, we had both meals there. Standouts in the food arena - oysters on the half shell from New Brunswick, escargot, and the foie gras were fresh, perfectly served, and delicious. For breakfast, the avocado toast was so good. Hard to cut with knife and fork but easily torn by mouth, and the eggs Benedict on housemade brioche donuts were a great take on a great classic. The coffee is pulled not brewed and the side salad is a new favorite. Perfectly and not overly dressed. Yes, the reviews commenting on the well-worn upholstery are correct, but for us it didn’t detract one bit from the great time we had. Enjoyed it all. Well done!

A very good wine list. Downhill from there. Nothing stood out as notably good. Salmon was OK. Burgers were OK. Mussels and oysters OK. Don’t order the escargot. Dishes appeared at haphazard times. Won’t return.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at Venteux for brunch! Nice decor, good service, delicious food, and an unbeatable bottomless mimosas deal! Just $20! The duck and waffle was perfect! I will definitively return!

We showed up for brunch around noon. I really liked the atmosphere in the restaurant and if you’re looking for a bright spot then you can sit in the front of the restaurant where all the windows are. If you want a more chilled out, quiet and dim lit area, then request to sit in the back. We had the Venteux breakfast and I had the eggs in an omelette and requested ham and cheese. My family had the yogurt and granola and French Toast. Everything we had was really good. We have no complaints about this place and will come back again. Our server Sha Lease was awesome!

Croque Monsieur was good. Skip the chicken sandwich. This restaurant is connected to The Pendry and is their breakfast option. It's a good option if you're staying at the hotel.

All four of us (two couples) were very disappointed with the quality of the food at this restaurant -- an epically awful meal. We asked to speak to the manager who was clearly embarrassed. She eventually explained that the chef was not there even though it was a Saturday evening. We inferred that s/he was missing in action and that the remaining kitchen staff was doing the best they could. Two of us had ordered souffles for dessert and the manager suggested cancelling them as "they were not coming out well." We very much appreciated her honesty. She also waved the corkage charge for three bottles of wine ($90) and knocked $40 off the bill. We felt sorry for her as she was clearing doing her best in a wretched situation.

We happened on this place purely by accident. We were headed some place for a quick bite before a David Koz Holiday concert. We hit a rooftop bar on 230 Michigan Ave. for a cocktail and while in the lobby figuring how to kill a couple hours,we started to read a menu prominently displayed in the lobby. Once we entered the art deco space we knew it was a match. Escargot, Tuna Nicoise, succulent Roasted Chicken and Lazy Lobster later we were in HEAVEN!!! Bob .& Samantha welcomed us and Caleb served us brilliantly 👏🏽

Came a late Saturday afternoon for drinks and small bites. Had a nice welcome and was seated in the bar area. The waitress was quick and nice. We had both drinks and small plates from the Happy Hour menu which was price worth. The atmosphere was elegant and French.

Food was great service was awful. Wait staff ignored our table and forgot to bring part of our order. We tried to get their attention for a good 20 min.

Happy hour was amazing, our favorites: the mussels, beef tartar and French onion soup. All were to die for. Where dinner fell flat: the sea bass with ratatouille. Sea bass was undercooked and ratatouille reeked of lighter fluid?? How. How?! Anyway, go for the happy hour. Clearly people are happy and the restaurant does well with their happy hour.

Great spot for classic brunch items. The front of the cafe is so picturesque and bright that its almost like they built it with IG and tik tok in mind. And quel surprise there were women posing and taking photos to upload, no doubt. The brunch menu is available during weekdays and combines breakfast and lunch items which is always the best. If you want a casual coffee and muffin spot, sit up front. Great location off of Michigan avenue and it would be great for just drinks at the bar too. Great new place on Michigan avenue. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great happy hour menu, several small plates to share, escargot,sliders,salad,moules. Tuesday is $1.50 oysters. Drinks also discounted. Taylor was an exceptional waitress, aware but not hovering.Great experience, we’ll be back!

Came in to try the bar out, waited 5min to have a hi from the hostess standing in front of us , no reaction , we said goodbye, she finally asked if we wanted to sit when we were leaving…… no thank you…..

Great French food with with oysters, nice limited champagne menu. Had the Brie and baguette for lunch, plus a few other snacks. Very nice atmosphere and will need to try the cafe next time. Desserts were unique and very tasty

Super beautiful cafe/restaurant in the heart of Chicago 😍 We had a lovely afternoon teatime here. The menu has a wide variety of food and drinks and the venue is very instagrammable.

The food was delicious, but the experience was even more awesome because of our server Amber. She knew the menu inside and out, including GF options which are so important to me. She was so accommodating and made sure everything was just perfect. And between the food and Amber, it was perfect!

Had breakfast/lunch three days in a raw. The pastries were heavenly. Caffe closes at 3 pm , but their restaurant opens at 4pm. The dinner menu lists their four course dinner which I will try on our next time visit. The building housing the cafe is beautiful Art Deco.

Excellent service, excellent food. The atmosphere is cozy and the prices are great. The quality of the products is top-notch.

We discovered the restaurant while watching this beautiful. The European style cuisine was tasty and we really appreciate the Soufflé as dessert.

The pacing and service were so awful and unprofessional, I don’t recommend Venteux to anyone. The menu was authentically French but my starter - a lobe of sautéed foie gras - arrived long before our pre dinner wine or my partner’s oysters, and was cold. I asked for it to be warmed and it came back burned. We had to beg for our oysters even though we could see the man at the oyster station never doing anything. The $95 Dover Sole for two arrived with the bone intact and we were told neither the kitchen nor the server could remove it. Weird because this was clearly one of Venteux’s piece de resistance. Since there was no sharp knife, the waiter finally took pity on us and hacked at it with 2 soup spoons. He told us there was still meat left on the bone so we should be sure dig into it. Our bottle of Chardonnay wine (the ONLY one on the wine list) never arrived and when we inquired after the apps had finally been delivered, were told they didn’t have it. The waiter asked if we wanted one of the other two. What other two? We picked one and when the bill arrived, saw it was $110 more than what we ordered. We would have complained to the manager but there wasn’t one. Naturally, we asked that the 3.5% surcharge be removed because Venteux didn’t serve it.

Happy Hour prices were extended to the dining room. For half price, we had a wonderful dish of steamed mussels and a premium Italian wine, with excellent bread. Classy environment and excellent service as well.

Was staying in the Pendry Hotel where this is located. Decided to go for happy hour. Decent menu for food and drink. The best part of the visit was our server. If you go, one needs to ask for Sam. He was very attendant and friendly.

Wonderfully flavored summer salad with seasonal fruit arrives without a needed crust of bread to get that last bite or peppered dressing. Deconstructed aged duck served with crepes leaves one with uncomfortable sticky fingers. New arrivals are left awkwardly at the podium to wonder whether to seat themselves as staff whiz by. Although the dishes are delicious and inventive as stand alones, as a meal in total, much work left undone.

The service was spectacular. Shanelle was so fun and funny. She enjoys her job and loves this restaurant. The Asst Gen Mgr was doing a great job (Hunter Smith) Very inviting and appreciative we had joined him. Food was better than the service. We started with some east coast oysters and some duck liver mousse. Yes, the oysters were good but the duck liver mousse was SO good. The only thing we needed was two more toast points (any they would have brought them had we asked.) I had the steak frites and it was a big steak. It was cooked perfect MR and the unseasoned frites matched perfectly. Jay had the Dover Sole meuniere and i could not even get a bite. Loved it. Sue had the salmon and really loved it. She is a total foodie and that says a lot. I had the steak frites and it was a perfect medium rare. Frites were unseasoned and were very enjoyable. Their wine prices are the most fair in Chicago. Whispering Angel Rose for $42 a bottle. I drank martinis and was disappointed they were in coupes. Why do you think there is a martini glass? Coupes were modeled after Marie Antointte's breasts. They are for champagne. It did not ruin the perfect experience but they could have been 5.5

Two of the new hot spots in Chicago are the Pendry Hotel and the Venteux Brasserie, Cafe & Oyster Bar, which occupy space in the old Carbide & Carbon Building at 224 North Michigan Avenue, south of Water Street. Chef Donald Young, a Chicago native, has opened a cafe and oyster bar in a classy, posh interior with semi-circular, rich, red velvet booths and wood paneling. It's a stylish and modern French restaurant/bar with one Michelin star attached. Open daily from 7 to 3 for breakfast and lunch and 4 to 10 for dinner, Young presents an iconic French cuisine that features French onion soup, steak frites, escargot, whole roasted duck and oysters. For dinner, my wife and I started with shrimp cocktail, escargot, French onion soup and brie with brioche, honey, fig and olive chutney. For her entree, my wife chose Dover Sole with brown butter, citrus and parsley and a side of creamed spinach. I opted for a dry aged ribeye steak with shallot, roquefort and sauce au poivre with sides of creamed spinach and pomme puree with maitred butter and chives. For dessert, we shared a Grand Marnier Souffle with foie gras, black sesame and cocoa. Chicago isn't known for its abundance of quality French restaurants or bistros but Venteux Brasserie certainly has raised the bar.

We hosted a business meeting with appetizers and du=inner at Venteux. The cafe area was gorgeous, the wait staff was helpful and attentive, and the brie appetizer was the best I've ever had (I'm not an oyster person, but the group seemed to enjoy them). We enjoyed their hospitality!

Enjoyed brunch here. The coffee shop at the front of the restaurant was always busy. The restaurant had a steady business and the food that was served to other tables looked delicious and had excellent presentation. Our food was great and service was good.

Food was amazing. Service was friendly. Popcorn on our salad, fresh seafood bar, aged duck - all amazing flavors. Wish they had a sommelier. I am still thinking about the food. I did not even mention the soufflé - amazing. The chef is amazing - he came to most tables to check on the food.

Chicago is a food town. It has built an international reputation for its steaks, Italian beef, pizza and hot dogs. As a food critic of sorts, I have noticed a growing number of barbecue restaurants and French bistros are gaining popularity. One is Venteux Brasserie, Cafe & Oyster Bar. Located at 224 North Michigan Avenue, in the Carbide and Carbon Building, in the Control Data Institute, in the fashionable and glitzy Pendry Hotel, it is a chic, stylish and modern French bistro that offers an iconic French cuisine of steak frites, whole roasted duck, oysters, escargot and French onion soup under the guidance of executive chef Whitney McMorris. Open from 7 to 4 Sunday and Monday, 7 to 9 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and 7 to 10 on Friday and Saturday, also brunch from 8 to 2 on weekdays, it offers a blend of elegance and French cooking, not to mention a change of pace for diners looking for something new. My wife and I started with escargot, French onion soup and shrimp cocktail. For an entree, my wife chose seared scallops with cauliflower and creamed spinach. I opted for a New York strip steak with potatoes, chestnut mushrooms and garlic. For dessert, we shared a portion of traditional creme brulee and a Grand Marnier souffle with black sesame and cocoa. Did I emphasize Venteux's location, in the heart of downtown Chicago, a short walk from Millennium Park to the south and the Chicago River and the Magnificent Mile to the north?

We were really excited to try this establishment. Overall, we had an average experience. I would certainly return, but I would not seek out the restaurant. It’s expensive, and there are much better experiences to be had for the price point in Chicago. The atmosphere was lovely; the restaurant is off a stylish hotel lobby, and the decor is elegant: long bar, cool booths, tables that were well-spaced. I appreciated the volume; it felt lively, but it was easy to have a conversation at our table and with our server. Our server was polite, and she improved as the meal continued. Still, for the price point, I’ve had more nuanced and attentive service. The food was...average to disappointing, particularly given the price point. We began with caviar; the presentation left a bit to be desired. It was hard to get the caviar onto the blini, there were not enough spoons for the accompaniments, the blini were limp and flavorless. The caviar itself was okay. The grilled gem salad was the highlight of the meal; the texture was perfect, with a nice variety of crunchiness. Entrees were okay—the restaurant was attempting modern twists on French classics. Lobster pasta was solid enough, but not remarkable. The updated Dover sole disappointed; while the plate was beautiful, some of the additions distracted from the classic flavors, and the fish itself got a little lost. Again...not a bad experience. But for the price point (over $100/person), it didn’t feel as excellent as it should.

Venteux in Chicago is a French culinary delight, offering a charming ambiance and dishes that blend tradition with modern flair. The Steak Tartare and Frites are exceptional, and the Nicoise Salad was the best I ever had with perfectly seared tuna…a fresh and flavorful choice. With attentive service and a Parisian vibe, Venteux is a must-visit for an exquisite dining experience. Bon appétit!
