French-Influenced Neighborhood Deli
Al's Deli is a long-standing Evanston institution known for its French-influenced sandwiches, homemade soups, and signature buttercream cookies. The small, takeout-focused space is decorated with images of Paris, reflecting its classic deli-with-a-French-twist character.
