Coming Soon: Dear Margaret, a French-Canadian Restaurant in Lakeview

Located in Lakeview, Dear Margaret (2965 N. Lincoln Ave.) is a love letter to Midwestern ingredients, written in French-Canadian cuisine. They will be rooted in classic technique and channel the passion and ingenuity of a year-round preservationist’s kitchen and larder. Dear Margaret will draw inspiration from Chef Ryan Brosseau's (Le Sud; Table, Donkey and Stick) childhood in Southern Ontario and food memories from the kitchen of his mémé (French for “grandmother”), for whom the restaurant is named. The restaurant will be open for carryout and curbside in early 2021; someday, the space will accommodate around 40 seats in the dining room—but they built the business plan around no onsite dining until Chicago enters phase 5, full reopening.
