The checkered tile floors and art-lined stone walls make it look like a Parisian bistro that wandered into the West Loop and decided to stay. Creepies is a neighborhood French restaurant from the team behind Elske next door, with a concise menu that leans classic and slides Midwestern where it can. The vesper martini landed on Esquire's list of the best in the country, which is not nothing for a place called Creepies.

Roast chicken

The New York Times, 2026 -
Frites
“While there are dishes — the frites, for example — notable for textbook perfection”
The New York Times, 2026 -
Steamed mussels with fennel
“before moving on to heartier dishes like steamed mussels with fennel, roasted chicken in a liver and wine sauce, and Parisian gnocchi.”
Eater -
Parisian gnocchi
“It's a concise offering, with dishes like Parisian gnocchi in creamy gruyere sauce with crispy ham and a drizzle of egg yolk”
