Modern European Restaurants near Brookfield, IL

“Un.be.lievable!! SO much food! So good! From the simple shredded cabbage salad to the chicken and sausage grilled to perfection, this wasn't a dinner - this was a feast! It was my first experience of pljeskavica, and simply long to be able to have it in my hometown. I brought some leftovers home, grilled a couple of buns in butter, and added onions and an aioli, and it was one of the most flavorful sandwiches I've ever had. The French fries were perfect as well. I couldn't eat another bite, and...what? Dessert? No, I couldn't possibly...crepes? Well, maybe a bite or two (yeah - finished it). This will DEFINITELY be on the list when we return to Chicago. What got me is this place is in Brookfield. My work had a conference at the Brookfield Marriott back in 2016, and we were looking for great local food places. At least we know about it now! Oh - and you must know how to speak Serbian. No English.“

“In order to truly review just how great a restaurant Skadarliya is, it would require a very long post (which no one will read). So best short review is: The food is authentic and excellent. The venue and atmosphere is great, and the service top notch. Just go there and thank me later.“

“This place is a total experience! The food is delicious, the decor is artsy and beautiful, and the owners are absolute gems. my family and I went for the first time yesterday and had the BEST time. we came for some quick pierogi but stayed for the ambiance, warm welcome, and fantastic conversation with the owners. This cafe is charming beyond belief and we will definitely be back. This is the perfect place to stop in with some friends or loved ones when you are out and about in the neighborhood. I guarantee you will want to come back again and again.“

“We’ve been to Marco’s a few times and have enjoyed our experiences. There is always a wide variety of thoughtfully prepared options to choose from in all categories, land and sea appetizers, entrees, several salads and desserts. Last night we had the bacon wrapped scallops appetizer which was delicious, the mahi mahi and shrimp with a delicious coconut based sauce. The strip steak was cooked perfectly and came with some lovely crisp veggies; unfortunately the steak was tough and almost stringy. The server asked if there was anything else I’d like which felt like the right thing to do. The servers are efficient but generally not warm and fuzzy. And the environment is very loud. Anyone with hearing issues wouldn’t be able to hear anyone else at their table without that person raising their voice considerably.“

“First time there and would definitely go back. We were in the area and looked up Polish restaurants. This was the closest so we decided to try it. The food was genuine and spot on for authentic cooking. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Polish food.“

“I was brought back to my childhood favor food, delicious and amazing. And the taste was the same. Like it's name the garden, it is really a place where you are transported in memories through a good service and a great atmosphere. Words don't make justice to that place go see for yourself.“

“Great food and service. We were looking for authentic Polish food and were not disappointed. The server was very attentive and came by often to see how we were doing. We had the goulash and the Pierogi's and both were excellent. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Every time me and my cousin pass by Sandy’s we also order the burgers there, they also provide friendly service and thats what makes Sandy’s bakery even better. My favorite part of it is its food mainly because its so good being one of the only Serbian bakery’s near me too.“

“When I say this place is good - I mean it! In my search for chicagolands best Balkan, Europe 22 has remained a consistent top contender. A low key spot, family owned , with focus on their craft! because of this I give Europe22 5 stars.But the 5 stars is dearer to my heart then just that,Great comfort food, nice variety! Quality tasty ingredients*Competitive pricing with great portions!This restaurants hovers right in the perfect section of pricing and portion/ingredient value.Overall:- Fries are on par w balkan tradition.- Kajmac is very good,- Soft bread, nice texture- fresh crisp veggies! (Can be hit or miss with certain placesSupport them!lovely people there, they know me every time I come now!(if you’re getting into Balkan food start with cevapi or beef pillows. I promise you won’t regret!)P.S.Call ahead, expect ab 1 hour wait. (Good food takes a while to prepare they’re always busy)“

“It's the best Lithuanian food around. You'd think it was made in your grandmas kitchen. Staff is friendly . They do run out so better call to reserve some food for a pick up because closer to the end of the day you won't be able to get it. Yummy , my whole family love it !“

“5 stars and no complaints !!I am very picky person and also I usually cook meal at home so I never feel outside restaurant food fresh. BUT, The food is so delicious and fresh here and service is great. Price is reasonable and specially the place is very clean. We can’t wait to go back again.“
