If you were asked to define “Fifolet” could you? If not, we can clear that up for you. To begin with, Fifolet is a noun, known as “…a mysterious blue light seen hovering over Cajun swamps designating buried treasures!”
It’s unlikely you’ll see any of those mysterious blue lights floating over Wicker Park, but you can be sure that Fifolet Cajun & Cocktails is itself a new, and not so, hidden treasure. This Cajun inspired restaurant took over Division Ale House’s old digs on W. Division Street. Executive Chef, Kevin Crouse and Chef de Cuisine, Corey Gillom, teamed up to bring a bit of Louisiana flare to Wicker Park’s sports-bar saturated neighborhood. While the sun is up, this sixty seat restaurant aims at, and succeeds in, being family friendly. Once the sun sets, however, patrons seeking the energy of Bourbon Street will feel right at home. Fifolet’s Cajun cuisine also offers specialties on its menu for those with a more adventurous palette, such as Venison Grillades and Grits, Fried Alligator Etouffee, Po’ Boys, and not-to be missed Beignets.
Fifolet’s signature Rum and Cognac drinks include Frozen Hurricanes made with fresh passion-fruit juice as well as a number of exotic Absinthes from all over the world. And it’s all right here in Chicago at 1942 West Division Street.
