Score
The New Valois Restaurant appears in inspection records 32 times, starting in 2011. On Jan 22, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.
“Proper cooling methods used” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 23 times across the record.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
