After learning that Chicago Restaurant Week had been an extended an extra week, I scoured the restaurant list and found a charming French restaurant on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile that looked heavenly.

After eating a three-course CRW featured meal, it is no wonder why Café des Architectes’ head chef, Martial Noguier, is a semifinalist in the Best Chef category for 2009, hosted by the James Beard Foundation.

I should let everyone know at this point how absolutely imperative it is that you take advantage of CRW (extended through March 6). If you love amazing, 5-star food; restaurants with the best service; dining rooms designed with the utmost care and really great prices, it should be a no-brainer that you would want to participate. You will not – I repeat – you will not find prices like this until next year. $32/per person for dinner and $22/per person for lunch for a 3-course meal at over 130 restaurants. Hop on that ship before it sails!
While the wine selection was abundant, I felt like celebrating and turned my eyes straight to the bubbly. But trying to choose between a sparkling wine from Napa Valley or a glass of my favourite Moët et Chandon Impèrial Brut was proving too difficult for me, so I caved and decided to treat myself to a flight of bubbly, aptly name “Celebrations”.
Shortly after, three sparkling glasses arrived at my table: a Moët et Chandon Brut Impèrial (left), a Domaine Chandon Rosé and a Domaine Chandon Brut that were all fantastic. And before you write off a sparkling wine from Napa Valley, take this into account: Domaine Chandon was actually founded by the makers of Moët et Chandon and is really delicious!
