Taste of Paris

This ranks up there with one of the BEST experiences we have ever had at a restaurant! It was our granddaughter's 12th birthday and she's been talking about wanting to go to Paris. So I found Taste of Paris in Mundelein, and thought that would be perfect (for now). She invited her 11 year old cousin (BFF) and the four of us headed to the restaurant - it was a surprise and we told them to pretend we were flying somewhere. When we got there, they were in complete amazement throughout the entire experience. We met Chef Claude when we walked in as the girls were wide eyed looking at the Eifel Tower in the restaurant - he knew it was our first trip there. We got to sit under the Eifel tower. The food was AMAZING, and the service was the BEST. We brought some sweets home from the bakery,

Bar none, the best espresso I have had in decades. Of course that blend can only be purchased in France! I had the spinach mushroom quiche and it was absolute perfection. If I ever come back to this area, it is on the top of my list. The macaroons are perfection as well! This is true French café at its best!

We stopped in for the first time and had a wonderful experience! We had really great food, I ordered a savory and very flavorful mushroom and spinach crepe with Swiss cheese, and my husband ordered eggs Benedict, on a croissant, light and fluffy eggs, with a light and flavorful hollandaise sauce, clearly the owner knows what he is doing in the kitchen. I mentioned it was my birthday and the owned gave me macrons for my birthday! I even left with a beautiful cake!

Food here is very good, and it is very reasonably priced. The servers are friendly and helpful. The omelets and quiches are delicious. The bakery area has a wide assortment of beautiful French pastries and breads, and I can never leave without purchasing a baked good to take home!

Stopped in for a quick brunch. I ordered eggs Benedict. The prices were higher than what is posted on their website by a few dollars per item. For $13.50 I got two poached eggs, one slice of ham, sauce and a croissant. Nothing came with the meal. I left still hungry. The dish was very good and I enjoyed it but felt that the price was too high. But so is everything everywhere. $21 for a very small breakfast which included coffee. The breads and pastries looked fabulous on the way out and I would have loved to buy a couple of items but that would have been another $20. Pass. Cute place. Good service.
