Obelix

Obelix is a contemporary French restaurant at the corner of Sedgwick and Huron streets in River North, opened in 2022 by brothers Oliver and Nicolas Poilevey, whose parents founded Le Bouchon in Bucktown. The menu takes liberties with French classics, from French onion soup and escargot to a foie gras taco, beef Wellington and aged duck breast. The pastry program carries equal weight, with mille-feuille and a rotating soufflé.
