Information about this business (5)

Our Market, Cafe and Catering are built around the love of great food and the people who are passionate about everything they create, every day. So step inside and see, smell, touch and taste the best the world has to offer.

Inside Fox & Obel, Chicago's Premier Gourmet Food Market, is River East's favorite dining spot The Market Bistro. Overlooking the Ogden Slip and McClurg Court, this restaurant offers contemporary American cuisine at incredible values and features wines from the store at market retail prices, without the customary restaurant mark up or corkage fee. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Fox & Obel almost defines the term “world class.” This market/café is luxurious to the max—but it’s also a lot of fun. In the prepared foods section, enthusiastic servers eagerly offer samples of such delights as Szechwan green beans, seared Ahi tuna, rutabaga with crispy shallots, and wild rice salad. A wall of imported olive oils is flanked by a table where open bottles and slices of bread...

Skip the tourist-trap funnel-cake fare at Navy Pier and opt instead for this riverside gourmet market just a block away. The prepared fine and organic foodstuffs are treated with reverence, and although service is cafeteria-style, selections are decidedly more sophisticated. The signature club with applewood-smoked bacon and basil-pesto mayo is a winner, as are the salmon burger and pretty much...

The city's top gourmet market is a foodie paradise, from the wide selection of specialty cheeses to the mouthwatering display of desserts. Browsing the shelves is like taking a minitour through the best specialty foods from around the world (and I dare you to walk through the bakery section without buying a loaf of freshly baked bread). An easy walk to Navy Pier and the lakefront, it's a great...

As of today, Fox & Obel is permanently closed.

We eat at Fox and Obel frequently We like how you pick up the wine at their retail store and they serve it at no additional fee. Last night, we had two disasters. Our 20 something waiter addressed the two 50 something wives as lover, honey or sweetie; offending both woman. When the bill came it was more than double what it should have been. We fixed this after an hour and talking to 4 layers of...

Welcome to Fox & Obel, Chicago's premier gourmet market. Our Market, Café and Catering are built around the love of great food and the people who are passionate about everything they create, every day. So step inside and see, smell, touch and taste the best food the world has to offer.

Nestled within a “gourmet” “food palace”, this “cafeteria-style” Near North cafe is a “nice place to relax” while enjoying “tempting” Eclectic fare like “tasty” breakfast offerings, “flavorful” sandwiches and “incredible” salads; those bothered by “crowded” conditions and somewhat “slow” service go “during off-peak hours” for a “quality snack” or glass of “delicious wine.”

This cafe, an extension of the Fox and Obel Gourmet Market, features several daily selections. Items may include a Thai stir-fry with tofu and veggies, or a NY strip sandwich rubbed with spices and topped with caramelized onions and blue Brie. Try the brownie a la mode for dessert. Bakery treats may include poppy seed lime cookies, as well as fine breads such as rosemary peasant sourdough and...

A visit to the Fox & Obel Cafe is a throwback in time—to the age when intellectuals gathered and boldly expressed their views regarding politics and literature. The European ambiance, the smell of coffee brewing, and freshly baked artisan bread can be quite luring in itself. Then there are also dishes like the Black Angus Steak Frites that make one want to return. The place is open for...
