From the Restaurant
Husband and wife culinary team, Mohammad Islam and Malika Ameen, who met while cooking at Chicago’s superlative Ritz-Carlton Hotel and have become rising star culinary wizards ever since. Aigre Doux is their first Chicago venue in River North. Aigre-doux is the French term for the combined flavors of sour (aigre) and sweet (doux); Islam serves as owner/executive chef and head of the food and wine program, while Ameen, as owner/executive pastry chef, designs the restaurant’s dessert menu and head the adjacent bakery. The couple brings a passion for food and a stellar Chicago, New York and Los Angeles culinary background to the new venture. Aigre Doux is a contemporary, comfortably calm upscale restaurant, yet the couple’s commitment to quality is anything but calm. “We feel so strongly about the importance of serving excellent food,” said Ameen. “We don’t believe people should have to go to a fine dining restaurant to eat well." Aigre Doux is a relaxed restaurant and bakery.

the food was inventive, but not too far out there. we loved the ‘greek pizza’ appetizer and our waiter was wonderful at making entree suggestions. the bread they brought before the meal was absolutely amazing – you won’t want to miss out on it! the salmon and duck were cooked to perfection. the restaurant itself is cozy and great for a date – we went there on our anniversary and truly enjoyed ourselves.
