Amy Morton (@amythemort), who also owns The Barn Steakhouse in Evanston and Stolp Island Social in Aurora, opened LeTour today (@letourevanston), a new French restaurant with her longtime collaborator, chef Debbie Gold (@deb_gold). “It’s great to work with someone who can complement what I can do with their strengths,” Gold said. “We’ve got all this French influence with Midwestern ideas." LeTour, which means circle in French, will have a ring-shaped dining space to represent the full-circle partnership between Morton and Gold, who began working together in 1990 at Morton’s first restaurant, Mirador. “We really did always want to find a way to work together again,” Morton said. “We’re going big, bold and new.” From classic brasserie dishes such as steak frites and ratatouille, to a cozy dining area with muted tones and floor-to-ceiling windows, the North Shore natives aspire to bring customers an experience that is “unconventionally French,” Morton said.
