Jilly's Cafe: A small and friendly French restaurant

Jilly's is a small French restaurant in northern Evanston where we ate brunch with friends. It was not cheap, but we enjoyed it very much.

Jilly's has a French country feel and a very friendly staff. The menu features a mix of French and American items. The portions were large and the food was very good. The blueberry pancakes were especially tasty.
