Michelin Adds Two New Chicago Restaurants to Guide

Creepies is the latest venture from chefs David and Anna Posey, the couple behind Elske. The Midwestern bistro opened in August, offering French dishes like Parisian gnocchi, roasted chicken with liver and wine sauce, and cod meunière. A French-heavy wine list and batch cocktails complement the food. The Poseys are no strangers to the Michelin Guide — Elske has received a one-star rating every year since 2017.

Chef’s Table at Astor Club is also another newcomer that debuted in August. Led by chef Trevor Teich, who previously earned a Michelin star at his Bucktown spot Claudia, the fine dining experience highlights seasonal ingredients and French techniques through a seafood-focused tasting menu. Though it’s located inside a private club, the restaurant is open to the public.

“You don’t need to be a member, but you’ll feel like one at Chef’s Table,” writes a Michelin Guide inspector. “Chef Trevor Teich is a fine dining veteran, and befitting the setting, the ingredients lean luxe.”

The Michelin Guide announces additions throughout the year ahead of unveiling its full list of winners. In July, Mirra, Tama, Taqueria Chingon, Nadu, and Oliver’s joined the Guide, and next month, all of the new entrants will learn whether they’ve earned a higher distinction. The city is currently home to 19 Michelin-starred restaurants and 38 Bib Gourmand recipients, the latter recognizing spots that deliver standout food at a great value.
