Dear Kiki’s Bistro Family Of Friends, 50 years of classic French fare for Chicago comes to an end September 30, 2020. We appreciate the birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions and everyday meals that you spent dining and laughing with us. Those memories have sustained us through the last few months, as your visits did for those many years. We acknowledge our staff who served hospitality in the dining room and worked magic behind the kitchen doors.

They spent so much time with us and you each week. Several have worked with us over a decade, some over two. It is a bittersweet moment, bein sur. Kiki, 87 ans, is attempting retirement with an open eye for a potential petite Kiki’s — a tiny, cozy reboot with the potential to offer authentic French fare you love on a very intimate scale. Let us know if you’re interested and know of a wonderful mignon space.
