Post #1 - December 12th, 2016, 2:15 pmI love Salad Lyonnaise and would appreciate recommendations as to which Chicago-area restaurants have the best. I've had some very good ones but do not remember where. Many thanks.

Post #2 - December 12th, 2016, 3:02 pmOne of my favorites too, and the couple times I've had it recently (as in late this summer) at Bistro Campagne it's been better than ever. I don't know if their new chef has changed it at all since he's come on, but he was leading the kitchen when I had it.

Post #3 - December 12th, 2016, 3:03 pmI like the versions at La Sardine and at Mon Ami Gabi, La Sardine is a more traditional version, Mon Ami Gabi's had kale along with frisée, both have soft poached eggs and lardons.

Post #5 - December 13th, 2016, 10:43 amI would second La Sardine. It's several years since I was there, but I very much enjoyed their Salad Lyonnaise.Where there’s smoke, there may be salmon.

Post #6 - December 13th, 2016, 10:48 amI've had an amazing version at River Valley Farmer's Table, but if I remember correctly, it might be something they bust out only for their special prix fixe menus. I've definitely had it a couple years when we've gone there for an early NYE dinner.

Post #7 - December 13th, 2016, 11:02 amLong time lurker, with my virgin post.
I'm a Salad Lyonnaise afficianado, but have largely despaired of finding a true version in the country. Even when a place gets everything else right, they overcook the egg, which in the versions I've had in France is so lightly cooked that it just becomes one with the salad in a sort of eggy goodness. Most places here you wind up with egg chunks. Do any of the above places get it right?

Post #8 - December 15th, 2016, 6:09 pmI was just at Chez Simo on Saturday the 10th. We shared all the dishes, so it wasn't the best way to get a real taste of it, but the salade Lyonnaise had a very runny egg (just the way I like it).

Post #9 - December 15th, 2016, 6:26 pmMon Ami Gabi, at both the Oak Brook and Paris/Las Vegas locations, makes a wonderful salad Lyonnaise. Both that and their French onion soup rival or surpass anything I tried in Paris.

Post #10 - December 16th, 2016, 1:19 pmI'd also like to put in a good word for the Lyonnaise salad @ Maude's Liquor Bar. Outstanding.

It seems fairly straight forward to attempt this at home. Does this recipe reflect what you tried?

Post #13 - December 31st, 2016, 1:30 pmNot sure if it qualifies as a straight up Lyonnaise salad, but I've ordered the version at Blackbird pretty much every time I've been there. Worth a try.
