Readers' Choice Winner: Mécénat

This week's winner, , should come as no surprise. Patch reviewers have given it 4.5 stars, and came out in force to show their support.

With its rustic look and nicely lit bar, it's no wonder folks from Western Springs (and all over the western burbs) like to drop by for a bite and a drink. It's equally suited for a date, dinner with friends, or a solo stop for an end of the day cocktail.

Mécénat has quickly developed a following for its menu, since it opened in March 2011, with beautifully plated items like pan-seared duck breast, a hearty seafood stew and a grill pork tenderloin served with bacon mac and cheese (I just got hungry). I'm personally going to be stopping by for a bite of their grilled brie with arugula pesto and orange honey!

Mécénat's menu of fine wines is just the thing to wash it all down. Pulling up a seat at Mécénat's classy bar is a great way to start an evening in downtown Western Springs. Their location, just off the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks, is convenient for hoping off the train and right to their doorstep.

Congratulations to Mécénat for winning this week's .
