The restaurant is kept very clean with not a spot of dust on all the well appointed items around the dining area. The windows are spotless. The service is personal and the servers are very knowledgeable about the food choices and wines. The wine tasting makes for a personable experience with better choices both times we have eaten dinner here. The escargot were perfect!! seafood and pork choices are excellent. Bread is fantastic. Dessert cakes are superb. read more

We went later in the evening towards close after calling ahead to ensure they didn't mind. After very neglectful unpleasant service we left without tip after they were rude about various things wrt timing (ie "it's the end of the night and everyone is closing down"). For a week later the female manager called and left multiple very rude stalkery voicemails. EDIT: Responding to the comment... when a manager inappropriately hunts your phone number down and leaves harassing messages... this isn't something I want to be involved in, and the comments' defensiveness completely validates why I'm leaving this very negative review after some time. Seems it goes straight to the top. My review here isn't for the business. It's to save anyone from a similar very negative experience for a restaurant clearly not interested in such an insane violation of trust. read more

I'm a hard core foodie, the owner/chef at Bacquet's is an artist. The food here is amazing. I've been here several time and it never seams busy, that is shocking to me. I will visit more often! read more

Bacquet's has been on my to go list for a long time. My cousin wanted to celebrate her birthday here so it's finally my time to try it out! Our reservation was at 6:30. I showed up first and was sat at our table that was beautifully set. After everyone showed up, we got to looking over the menu. Everything on the menu looked good. I'm not a big protein eater so my options were quite limited. What I did see that I could have was the ratatouille pasta. I did notice on their lunch menu that they offer a couple salads. It would have been nice to have that option for dinner. After orders were placed, we enjoyed the fresh bread and butter. There was a live band playing in the background which created such a nice vibe to the place. The bread was fabulous! It was warm, crusty on the outside and so soft in the middle. The butter that was paired with the bread was delicious! So soft and salty. It was hard not to over butter the bread, it was the perfect vessel for the butter. I did order the soup de jour to start. It's a black truffle cream of asparagus soup. First glance at the soup, it looked creamy and rich. The croutons on top were perfectly golden. After a couple bites, rich is how I would describe this soup. It was savory and thick. The croutons added a nice texture to the soup. I was able to eat about half. It honestly was too rich. And then you add the buttery croutons, it was overwhelming. It would have have nice to have small pieces of asparagus to help with the texture and less croutons. Dinner took a while to come out. My pasta was prettily plated in a big pasta bowl. You can see the papperdelle pasta covered in the sauce. The pieces of zucchini, egg plant and bell pepper were delicately diced. The papperdelle was cooked nicely. The sauce was hearty from the veggies. The sauce also had a nice heat to it. It could have used a hair more salt to the dish. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper at the table but non was available. As hearty as the sauce was, it was underwhelming in flavor. We did end dinner with some bread pudding and creme brulee. Both were devine! The bread pudding was hot and sweet. You can tell that it came straight out the oven. The creme brulee was creamy. The sugar crust added a nice bitter element to the custard. Both were beautifully presented. I think I would have enjoyed this experience if we didn't have such long wait times for everything. It took us 3 hours from start to finish. Long wait time for our starters, for dinner and then for dessert. The bread and butter as fantastic. The soup was overwhelmingly rich. The pasta needed more seasoning. It was a neat experience with the live music and ambiance of the venue but the food was just ok for me. read more

Had the escargot, beef stroganoff, and duck. Escargot was so buttery and authentic, stroganoff was hand-made from scratch, and duck could melt in your mouth. All very reasonably priced, would definitely come here again! read more

Eaten here several times. Escargo is to die for. Do have issues with the duck entree, I what more than a sniff of duck, every where I have eaten duck has been a half duck, breast, thigh, leg. But here you barely have a chance to eat duck. Wine selections are wonderful, but pricey. read more

Ambiance was nice, food was good, and service was great. This place is a solid pick, just be forewarned that it is not inexpensive.

Absolutely amazing experience! Food: 5/5. Started off with the escargot. I had never had it before but have always wanted to try it and thought "why not". It was great! Still sizzling hot, buttery and quite pleasant! If you have ever wanted to try it, I recommend trying it here. We went on a Thursday when they have Prime Rib which was absolutely delicious! We also got the duck leg which was amazing as well. For dessert, the creme brûlée was top-notch and plated beautifully! Our waitress also recommends a delicious Malbec wine that paired well with our meal. Service: 5/5. Savannah was delightful and so welcoming! Atmosphere: 5/5. We sat on the patio which has a water feature and a great ambiance. Indoors is a completely different, more elevated vibe. I feel like either options makes for a great experience. This was the perfect restaurant for a celebration and a great place for a date night! There were a few older kids, but I would not recommend taking younger kids to this establishment. Looking forward to our next time here! read more

Bacquet's Restaurant - French Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

In 2023 I listed Bacquet's as one of the best restaurants in all the places I visited that year That included restaurant visits in Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans, Istanbul, and Paris. I had a chance to go back before heading out to Greensboro North Carolina for work and it's as amazing now as it was in 2023. Why I wait so long between visits is beyond reason Whoever was the chef the day I visited made me a spectacular salad. The shallot balsamic vinaigrette was on point. I decided to have escargots and it instantly brought me back to many trips to France. The garlic and butter was just the right amount and while it was splendide, having the ACME bread to soak up every drop afterwards was the proverbial icing on the cake. Our service was professional and timely. Nous avons la chance d'avoir Bacquet's à deux pas de chez nous. C'est une vraie cuisine française, préparée et présentée avec soin. read more

Our neighbor is always scouting for new restaurants to try. She found Bacquet's and she and her husband invited my wife and I plus two other couples to join them. Reservations were made. Bacquet's is a French restaurant, located closer the east end of State St. in Eagle, at the corner of State and Hill. There is a very nice patio area as well as the indoor dining area. The inside is nicely decorated with paintings and movie posters, for example, Casablanca. The tables have nice tablecloths and, of course, cloth napkins. It was a hot day so we sat indoors. Our server was a very nice female brunette. I'm sorry that I did not ask her for her name. She explained the menu and the specials, and took excellent care of us. One thing she emphasized was that she would not rush us. The entree would not be started until after we received our appetizers. We were to have a fine dining experience. A bottle of wine was ordered. Appetizers included the Ocean Flatbread, with prawns and scallops as toppers, and the Porcini Purses with Wild Mushrooms. They also served up a tasty bread, with whipped butter. For the entrees, my wife and I had the Prawn Aglio e Olio, a pappardelle pasta dish with Black Tiger Prawns, garlic, and red pepper flakes, tossed in olive oil, which brought a little heat. Others also got this dish, while others ordered the veal piccata. All of the food was delicious, and, again, the service was excellent. They did not rush us, to the point where we arrived at 6pm, and stayed until after 9pm, when they close at 8pm. So, they were very gracious in allowing us our time. Bacquet's in not inexpensive, so some may want to reserve their visit for a special occasion. However, I highly recommend this establishment. I was a wonderful experience! read more

Went there once and will not return Was waiting for the best onion soup I would have ever tasted and I make it better at home - yes it take hours but is better. wine selection is just odd where you actually have to go to the homemade bar and test a few and guess at the price bc there is no wine menu Service sketchy, if not rude, kinda like in actual Paris !Dessert nothing to write about Deco is cute and "parissy" For the $$ and service try Hemlocks or Chandlers read more

The food is amazing here It's a little weird that it is in Eagle. And the service is a little slow. But truly, for traditional French cooking this place is as good as any I have been to whether in the U.S. or a neighborhood place in France or Quebec. Good wine selection too. . read more

First off our waiter was incredible, prompt, kind and funny, with that being said the chef and owner is deplorable. When my wife, baby boy and myself arrived we were seated promptly and the waiter let us know that Osso Bucco was the special of the night and that there was only two left if we would like one or both of them for our meal. I absolutely love the dish and immediately said yes please. Fast forward to the meal, I am unsure if this shank had been left under heat lamps all service or if it had not been braised and cooked long enough but either way I told the waiter the shank was rubbery/tough and fairly disappointing for a dish that you're supposed to be able to cut into with a spoon. I even attempted to cut into it with my fork and could not and the waiter seemed genuinely appalled at the quality. He immediately went to the back to speak with the chef and owner. He then returned and informed me that the chef and owner both helped prepare the meal and knew it was cooked to perfection so they would do nothing about it, this is WITHOUT EVEN COMING OUT TO LOOK AT OR CHECK THE MEAL! The waiter kept apologizing and said he could do nothing about it, I ended up not eating my meal and the waiter brought out a complimentary desert and said it was all he could personally do without getting in trouble, I asked to speak with the owner and was told she is on the phone and won't be able to come out and talk. I was still charged almost $60 for a meal they took away and threw out and the owner could not even be bothered to apologize, look at the meal or go out of her way to at least try an appease a customer that lives almost next door and USED to eat here frequently. This experience combined with the rumors about the restaurant owner and practices is the final straw, avoid this place. read more

My friend and I were celebrating our birthdays and had an absolutely fabulous lunch here. The food (seafood flatbread) salad and wine were delicious.

Excellent service, a friendly chef, along with superb food lead to this 5-star rating. Beautifully prepared and well presented. The French onion soup truly was the best I "never had". The duck was tender and juicy. The vegetables with penne were delicious. Generous servings. The ambience is small French bistro -- it is quiet and comfortable. Definitely one of Boise area's best. read more

You can really tell the owners put so much love into the art of what they do, and it shows in every detail. Everything we had was just as divine as it looks in the photos--it's clear the food is made with genuine care. The French Onion soup was absolutely incredible--easily some of the best I've ever had. The only thing I missed out on was the Coquilles Saint-Jacques au Gratin; the photos of that dish look amazing, and I can't wait till I can try it on me of these days but it wasn't available during my visit. It's already at the top of my list for next time! I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. A true gem in Eagle. read more

The BEST place... we absolutely loved it. If you're looking for something that feels a little luxurious but still warm and inviting (not overcrowded or overly modern), this is it. It truly feels like a little taste of Paris. The atmosphere is just perfect, the food is incredible, and you can really feel the care behind everything - especially knowing the owners are from France. What made it even more special was the people. Casey and Logan were so kind and attentive, and Michelle (the owner) has created something really special here. You can tell this place is run with heart, and it shows in every detail. Honestly, 6/5 stars. You have to try it! This is officially our new favorite spot. Exactly what we needed. read more

Only have had their food to go. My sister loves them and a friend loves them. We had lasagna to go I believe it was. It's been a while ago so I don't remember because my mom had just died. Everything was good. read more

Delicious dinner, but prepare for a wait. Maybe the wait was intentional but large parties seated--and who ordered after our table of three--were served before us. We had the duck flat bread appetizer (very good), salad/soup. Dinner arrived 1.75 hours after we were seated (early reservation so not so busy when we were seated). My rack of lamb was delicious--especially the sauce. My husband and friend enjoyed the salmon's sauce and the veal. read more

This is now the third time we have made reservations and preordered our meals on their site to show up and hear the server say "oh I'm sorry we're sold out". Tonight the excuse was "sorry if WE had read the reservation WE would have known... our fault HA HA ". "We do have another entree." The server was kind of a twit. Well that is not what we reserved nor what we wanted so we left. The food isn't that great anyway. For restaurant that constantly emails customers to come eat and provides a way to reserve meals then fails over and over. I will never go back and I'm unsubscribed. I do not recommend this place. read more

Best dinner in years!! My husband and I went here for our 30th Anniversary and WOW it was AMAZING! The FOOD was exquisite. I love filet mignon and this was literally the best filet I have ever had!! The flavor and green pepper brandy sauce was delicious. It had a slight outer charred texture and the inside was melt in your mouth butter! Speaking of bread and butter, they serve the fresh butter in a scallop shell! The attention to detail and exquisite food along with intoxicating music and decor, along with the most adorable attentive servers- Casey and Savannah are unforgettable! We ended our dinner with the crème brûlée and it was simply decadent. Love love love this restaurant! Do not hesitate, go here ASAP! read more

We have been at your restaurant numerous times for lunch and dinner, and enjoyed exceptional food and service. Last evening 5:00 we picked up a take home, Prime Rib dinner. Hate to give his review but it was the worst prime rib we have ever had due to the amount of fat in the meat. Wayne C. read more

This is my FAVORITE restaurant and has been for 15+ years!! We moved away ten years ago and haven't eaten there since; my husband's birthday was a few days ago so I decided to surprise him and celebrate his birthday here. We flew in Wednesday morning, had dinner that night and flew out Thursday afternoon. The food is still just as amazing as I remembered it!! The restaurant had moved since we were there last and I loved the new location and decor. The service was amazing and I love that it is European style. The table is yours for the evening. No one is rushing you and you ask for the check when you are ready!! We started with escargot, which is to die for; so buttery and delicious. I had the Duck Legs and my husband had the Lamb. We ended up Bread Pudding and an Apple Tart. I highly recommend this place!!! Sorry, pictures don't do the food justice!! read more

An amazing restaurant all around! The food is outstanding, service is impeccable. Our go-to place for special occasions.

Had such a lovely time. great service and the meatloaf I had was definitely the best I've ever tasted. Bravo Bacquet's!

My husband and I both adore this place. The food is excellent, well prepared, and presented. It's a cute little French place. It's a bit pricy, but trust me, it's worth every penny. There's a nice ambiance in the restaurant. It's kind of divided into two areas. It seems one side is more for those interested in listening to live music, large groups, etc., while the other side is a bit more intimate. We've dined here a few times, but we've also ordered pick-up a few times, too, often for lunch. And, speaking of lunch, their clam chowder is non-traditional and unexpected, but in the best way. I would say it's one of the most delicious I've ever had and I've had a LOT of chowder in my days! As for eating in, we've ordered the prime rib (melt in your mouth level), seafood flatbread (yes, seafood flatbread - decadent!), the scallops (yes please), French onion soup (lovely and warming - my hubs fave), and a few other nibbles. PS - the service is awesome. They check on you, are courteous and polite. Always on top of everything and double-checking that you're pleased with their service and food. It feels good to be treated so well. I appreciate the staff, chef, and all of their hard work. The layers of flavors in their food, the slow simmers, and long roast times are all much appreciated. I whole-heartedly recommend this place for any special occasion, date night, small gathering, or just an extra special lunch (which is always served with a small baguette and salad). You won't regret it. There is also a lovely patio in the summer. read more

Bacquet's is a charming little French restaurant in Eagle with lots of personality. I recently visited the restaurant and enjoyed it so much I returned a second time. The first time I indulged in the Hereford Ribeye and it was unforgettably delicious. The second time I tried the Lobster Stuffed Croque Madame which was a Mother's Day weekend special. The Chef recommended pairing it with a White Bordeaux which was perfection! Both meals provided plenty of leftovers. I love that Bacquet's hours accommodate a late lunch or early dinner. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, if they aren't sure of something they find out. I appreciate that Bacquet's allows customers to fully enjoy their meals and there is no rush. Bacquet's has a nice sized patio and now that I receive email updates I found out that they sometimes feature live music. What's not to love!!! read more
