Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, Chicago
"Aigre Doux is the kind of chic little restaurant you'd boast about discovering while on vacation in Paris."
– Crain's Chicago Business
"'Fun fine dining' may sound like an oxymoron, but that's exactly the vibe at Aigre Doux."
– Gayot
"Already it looks like the complete package. It has a husband-wife chef/owner team, Mohammad Islam and Malika Ameen, who put out seriously delicious, contemporary-American food (their term global cuisine might be more precise) that satisfies on an intellectual level as well."
– Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune
"Given the boldface print, it's gratifying and somewhat surprising to discover that the food isn't crying for attention: it's simple, elegant, and good, full stop. The menus for dinner (Islam's territory) and dessert (Ameen's) are both graceful variations on New American ideas."
– Nicholas Day, Chicago Reader
"Hot out of the box. ... No question that the quality of the food is boundless."
– Chicago Sun-Times
