Medium Risk

The health department has logged 24 inspections at Cafe Touche, the earliest from 2011. The most recent visit was on Apr 8, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly five violations before.

“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” comes up most often, recorded 12 times in the inspection record.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
