our comments

Café des Architectes, located in the lobby of the new Sofitel Chicago Water Tower, is a modern French brasserie with dramatic appointments created by interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Vibrant colors, overstuffed chairs, sprawling banquettes and lamps that employ upside-down toques as lamp shades grab your attention. In keeping with the architectural theme, the wraps for the silverware are rulers, and, in the bar area, lighted drafting tables serve as tables. A lighted "water wall" surrounds both sides of the bar area. The Cafe's menu, designed by French-born executive chef Frederic Castan, is fundamentally French with influences from Asia, the Mediterranean and Latin America.
