Fodor's Expert Review Marché Bacchus
$$$$
West Side
French
The list of wines at this French bistro-cum-wineshop in a quiet northwest neighborhood is nearly 1,000 deep, and free tastings are held on Saturday afternoon from 11:30 until 1. You can buy a bottle at retail prices in the store and then drink it while dining ($10 corkage fee) in the cozy dining room or on the expansive lakeside terraces. When you're ready to eat, start with a cheese or charcuterie tray and move on to roasted foie gras with wild mushrooms or an heirloom-tomato salad with burratta. Entrées might include a classic steak frites or a honey-spiced glazed duck breast. Hear live music most Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
