    Edelweiss is the best German restaurant in the Chicagoland area. It’s authentic with an outstanding staff who serve you with kindness and professionalism. The food is the star. I had the roasted duck with orange sauce and it was superb. With spaetzel and red cabbage to round it out, it was magnificent.

    The food was delicious, and I appreciated the opportunity to choose a keto friendly dish. The keto bowl is quite tasty, and very unique! It’s nice that there are a variety of proteins available for this dish. I do wish there were more keto friendly options, but having this one is definitely a plus. Our server, Robert, was, as always, very attentive and quite friendly. Unfortunately, because of the rain, we had to dine indoors, which can be very loud. I love the patio area, though. Overall, I would label this a neighborhood gem!
