Petite Edith

Petite Edith is a seafood-focused French bistro on Wells Street at the north edge of River North, opened November 20, 2025, by chef Jenner Tomaska and Katrina Bravo, the married couple behind the Michelin-starred Esmé. The bright room has large windows, garage doors that open to a garden patio and a wraparound bar. The menu pairs coastal French cooking with Midwestern touches, from monkfish on the bone to whole fried sea bream with smoked potato chips.
