The French are known for many things: fashion, art, architecture, and most of all food. Whether it's a warm, crunchy-on-the-outside but soft-on-the-inside baguette, a delightfully delicate and tart tarte, or a hearty and flavorful plate of steak frites, the French know their way around la cuisine (the kitchen).

You won't need to hop on a flight to Paris or even drive to downtown Chicago in order to experience an authentic French dish. That Little French Guy is conveniently located along St. Johns Ave. in downtown Highland Park, and offers every French pâtisserie (pastry) you can imagine, in addition to salad, soup, coffee, tea, quiche, breads, and sandwiches.

Walking inside the newly expanded space, guests are greeted by the intoxicating scent of freshly baked bread and piping hot coffee while French chanteuses (singers) like Edith Piaf play over the speakers. Pull up a chair at a charming cafe table and enjoy your repas (meal) under sparking chandeliers while daylight streams through the atrium ceiling. Whether you prefer to savor your meal while working on your laptop, chatting with friends, or while partaking in the classique French pastime of people-watching, That Little French Guy will transport you and your senses out of the North Shore and into a quaint, authentic espace français (French space).
