Folklore | Argentine Restaurant
Chicago
En un coup d'œil
Avis
A lovely Argentinian steakhouse with welcoming service. The steaks were a bit mixed from our visit - the filet was tender and tasty (especially with the red wine sauce), while the ribeye tasted a tad bland and felt slightly firm for medium rare. The sides were a highlight, particularly the portobello mushroom and blood sausage. Overall, a pretty laid back and solid steakhouse with filet as the clear standout.
What a fun evening out! Great food and service at the Argentinian gem. I had the flap steak, never heard of it but it was delicious and expertly prepared. Nice cocktail list with a focus on tequila inspired beverages. Nice desert selection too! We sat in the far side opposite from the bar, noise level was great for conversation.
Folklore is my favorite restaurant in Chicago. The atmosphere is top notch, the service is always friendly, they often have live music that's at the perfect volume and vibe, and, most importantly, their food is amazing! I dine at Folklore every month or so and have ordered many items on their menu. They're all phenomenal. My favorite is their "Milanesa de Pollo a la Napolitana" (breaded chicken topped with ham, marinara, and mozzarella), which I highly recommend, but I'd order any of their meats for a more faithful Argentine feel. I included a picture of their Filet - which is to die for.
I’ve seen this restaurant so many times, but was finally able to dine there and it was outstanding! The vibe was perfect for a Saturday evening - love that the lights were dim and each table had candles. There was a good crowd, but it never felt too loud or crowded, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered El Che, which was fantastic. We had the flan for dessert, and I was anticipating having a bite or two but our table of two enjoyed the entire thing. It was delicious! Folklore would make for a great date night or spot to celebrate a birthday, promotion, etc. I can’t wait to visit again
