Reviews
We stopped in for lunch the day before Thanksgiving and the food and service were outstanding even though they were also dealing with large takeout orders.
The crepe florentine (we ordered without meat) was delicious with a lemony hollandaise. The burger, while a simple choice, was juicy and very tasty.
Then we got way too many goods to take back from the bakery and a few baguettes. We’ve only sampled a few so far but top notch!
Gluten Free - the macaron, carrot cake, crème brûlée, and spring basket are all Gluten Free (as of now, check when you go)!
We stumbled on this place and totally had a great afternoon. He ordered the coffee which was traditional French and delicious, and I ordered the bloody Mary. I like mine mild and they accommodated! It had just the right amount of celery seed probably one of the best bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a few 😂). They brought out French bread, which was exactly what you expect from a French bread, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with sweet cream butte. In addition, we ordered dessert. He ordered the tiramisu, excellent flavor and I ordered the marzipan raspberry cake. Perfect blend of almond marzipan with fresh raspberry filling. The cake was perfectly baked, not too dry not too moist. We will definitely go back again for brunch or dinner at the menu looked wonderful. Great music, service was impeccable and the atmosphere delightful! I highly recommend The French Gourmet.
Very charming spot for a warm meal. Quaint and french countryside inspired. Lots of fresh breads, pastries and more offered at the bakery. They have a good french onion soup amongst other menu options.
The French Gourmet was so easy to work with, and our cake came out beautiful! They also provided small desserts for our guests which were just delicious. Trang was absolute delight to work with, she was so patient with me as we had to switch our selections several times and she was most accommodating which is so nice to have throughout the planning process. You will not regret working with this vendor, they were just the best!
First time I finally came here. I bought cakes and pastries for this time.
The sweetness is subtle, making it very delicious.
I haven’t tried the eat in restaurant this time but I want to try the food next time.
I came here for my anniversary on their couple date night special. The French Gourmet did not disappoint!! My girlfriend and I were very much impressed with the food and service. Knowing of our special occasion, chief Alberto brought us our food and described in detail their cuisine. My new york strip was to perfection, as was her oven roasted duck breast. Even our salad and desserts were an absolute hit. Our waitress was also very attentive throughout our meal.
We weren't sure what to expect, but we left so elated that we had to go went back over the weekend to pick up from their bakery for some authentic French pastries reminding us of our trips to Paris. Unfortunately my pictures do not do their food justice.
My sisters and I went here to celebrate my sister-in-law's 40th milestone birthday. The food was good and the service was top notch. Definitely will come back.
Ooh La, La! We ordered a bread appetizer that was the BEST bread ever. The croissant so flaky, cheese very sweet & chocolate chip roll tasty. We also got a bread basket w soft butter. We had an awesome salad w a poached egg & potatoes. We also had delicious cooked veggies in a tomato paste.
