Le Mistral is a Southern European–inspired wine and cocktail bar where the winds of the Mediterranean meet the spirit of Chicago. Curated by award-winning Sommelier Jelena Prodan and paired with a unique food menu from Chef Stephen Gillanders, it blends tradition, terroir, and creativity into an experience that feels both soulful and effortless. Guests might sip a salty Corsican white alongside black truffle croquettes, or discover a rakija spritz that captures the Adriatic in summer—all without pretense, velvet ropes, or pressure. With low lighting, sharp service, and a soundtrack that sets the mood, Le Mistral is equal parts wine bar, cocktail lounge, and cultural café: a place where conversations flow, strangers become friends, and every drink tells a story worth remembering.
