Cook Au Vin

For more than 10 years, we have proudly brought authentic French baking and culinary craftsmanship to Chicago. With four bakery locations across the city, our passion has always been creating exceptional artisan breads, croissants, and pastries using premium French organic flours and traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Today, we are expanding that same dedication to quality into catering, offering elegant and memorable food experiences for every occasion. From intimate gatherings to large corporate events of over 100 guests, we create beautifully presented menus that combine French savoir-faire with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Our catering selections feature a wide range of handcrafted sweet and savory bites, including foie gras canapés, mini Beef Wellingtons, ratatouille tartlets, ceviche tartlets, gourmet mini quiches, artisanal sandwiches, chocolate tarts, lemon tarts, and many other chef-inspired creations. We also offer abundant cheese and charcuterie boards, fresh vegetable displays, and customized menus tailored to your event.

Whether you are hosting a baby shower, graduation celebration, holiday party, corporate reception, sporting event gathering, or private cocktail reception, our team delivers the same level of excellence that has made our bakeries a Chicago favorite.

Beyond catering, we are passionate about sharing French culinary traditions through interactive cooking classes and demonstrations. In partnership with Dacor Kitchens at the Merchandise Mart, we host engaging experiences that showcase professional techniques, artisan ingredients, and the art of French entertaining.

From handcrafted pastries to sophisticated cocktail bites, our mission is simple: to bring the elegance, warmth, and authenticity of French hospitality to every table.
