We had a similar experience with a militant female employee who went ballistic about mask wearing and wouldn't even have a conversation. She doesn't belong in a place to deal with customers. She's killing the restaurant that was really good 6-8 months ago but now how gone down the tubes. One of our meals(lamb filets) was really good and the other(pork loin) which was sliced way to thin and covered in salty gravy was pretty bad. How did you win? You kicked us out after we had our meal and drinks and didn't give us an opportunity to pay for it or tip our server who did a good job. Bet you didn't take care of him either. I realize that restaurants are in a tough spot with the unreasonable mandates(not laws) but it doesn't mean that you have to berate your customers without taking the time to understand their situation. Americans with Disabilities Act(actual law) states that you cannot deny service to people that are legally exempt from wearing masks in Idaho. Why are you so angry and put your anger toward the people that will keep you in business? Keep it up and you won't be in business much longer. read more

Love the food and during COVID I would order 2-3 times a month to support the restaurant. I have NEVER had a bad meal, and always one of my favorites for family and friends. Great service, and food always! read more

The best food I have had in Idaho. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing. The service is extremely professional. The food is incredible, and the flavor is unmatched. read more

We have not been there since before Covid. Really missed the food went back for my wife's birthday and oh my god did not fail to please again, my birthday is in a month, we will be back love this place read more

What a wonderful addition to the culinary choices in the valley! Love this place! The menu changes frequently. Wow! How cool is that?! For us Eagle residents that don't want to make the drive to Boise and deal with traffic/parking but don't want the same never changing menu fare in Eagle, this place is for you. The French/European inspired food is beautifully prepared, incrediblely delicious and charmingly presented in a lovely atmosphere. I especially enjoy the artwork; which I was told is from the owners personal collection. The prices are on the higher side and they could add some more selections of wine, but bring your own for a slight corkage fee. I highly recommend making reservations for dinner and if the warm weather holds, sitting next to the fountain on their patio for lunch is delightful. read more

Great service. Great escargot and quiche..have only been to lunch but am definitely a repeat customer.

My husband and I trekked out to Eagle for a final date before our newest addition arrives. The food was absolutely worth the drive and the price. We had the escargot as a starter, traeger roasted duck and seafood pasta for the entrees and creme brûlée for desert. Everything was delicious and the only disappointing thing about the meal was not being able to order wine to accompany it. I guess that just means we'll have to go back after the baby is born! read more

This is "Grandma Jan" responding to Michelle's defensive and grossly misleading rebuttal of my friend Rob's review of our dinner last night. Let me start by saying the food was very good, particularly my duck and the seafood house specialty. The service was slow. After one hour we had finished a bottle of wine, had received not so much as a piece of bread, and no one had taken our orders. Rob simply pointed this out and asked for bread. Then Michelle got into the act, obsequious one moment, aggressively defensive and rudely dismissive the next. I will address her comments point by point. I never asked nor insisted that my grandsons play the piano. They asked. And of course that wouldn't have been appropriate. We weren't bragging about being in France. We simply got tired with defensive excuses of "This is the way the French do it" I never demanded that my grandson's dinner be boxed immediately, only that I didn't want it thrown out and wanted to take it home. "Insisting on serving a spoiled 1990 wine"? All you did is decant it, we mentioned that it seemed a bit off, but we served ourselves a bit to see how it emerged in the glass. We didn't want to immediately dump an expensive wine. "Trying to scam the server for not paying gratuity on wine?" Rob simply was pointing out that we had purchased one bottle for $112, and it has been out experience that at least one bottle is often comped. Particularly when you yourself had sensed that one was a bad bottle. Instead you gave us no choice about paying 20% and even added gratuity to the corkage, something that is not the norm in our experience. Finally "Our only mistake was not ejecting you asap when I felt Jan's vibe on arrival". This ludicrous and unprofessional comment defines the defensive and nasty attitude you displayed all evening. The unfortunate thing is, I had eaten there 3 times before and enjoyed each meal, but didn't have to deal with your attitude. Michelle, you are a discredit to your husband's business. Others have commented on your aggressive and unprofessional behavior. What a shame. read more

First let me say that the food is beyond amazing. If I was put off by anything it would have been the guy that showed up in the wine library smelling like he had chained smoked all day, which was very off putting and the fact that they autograt for a bottle of wine. The server was nice and mostly efficient but only filled a few water glasses on our table. Over all a nice dinner but not worth $400 that we ended up spending read more

Excellent dining. A little different experience. Don't be in a rush. Everything takes a little extra time. Great menu. Attentive wait staff. Wine situation is a mystery. No wine list. You schmooz at the wine "bistro" to decide what you want. House wine is good but not pricey. My beuf whatever was very good. Done just right. My companions pork was also great. Salad is house ala carte. Will return to try other entrees. read more

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

We had the most delicious takeout! The croque monsieur sandwiches are so good. We look forward to having these treats again.

My wife and I live literally across the street and wanted something not so ordinary and stumbled into Bacquet's for dinner. She had the Veal Picatta Madison and I had the Pork Gambas. I have to say this is about the best meal we have had here in Eagle and can highly recommend the restaurant. Oh, did I say how charming the decor and outside patio are? We will be back soon...... Saturday evening my wife and I walked over to Bacquet's for dinner. Our first visit was so good we decided to treat ourselves again. This time she had the Salmon over a bed of rice and vegetables in a creamy sauce - she smiled with glee and said - extraordinary! I opted for the other pork dish Pork Gorgonzola Dolce instead of the duck (really tough choice) and was again just delighted. Joined it with a splendid glass of Cotes De Rhône while my wife tried the Chocolate Mousse. We were so excited that when Sidney delivered our plates we forgot to take any photos. For the second time, our meal at Bacquet's was simply awesome...... Thanks to the Chef and his staff. read more

This is a new restaurant from longtime Boise chef Franck Bacquet. A native of France, the cuisine naturally leans heavily in that direction, but with influences from other European culinary traditions. Chef Bacquet previously owned Le Coq Rouge in Boise and subsequently cooked at Chateau des Fleurs and Angell's. This was simply one of the finest meals we've had in Idaho, or anywhere else for that matter. It's not fast food -- we had a leisurely 2-hour-plus evening, unrushed, savoring every bite while enjoying the live music on the spacious patio outside. The wine list is small but thoughtfully selected to pair perfectly with the food. We had a lovely bottle of Muscadet to go with shared appetizers and a knock-out Sancerre with the main course (scallops baked with saffron). Those in our group who ordered the creme brulee agreed it was extraordinary. Menu prices are about what you'd expect at any of the Boise area's finer dining establishments. Our tab for four was about $300, including two wines, shared appetizers & dessert, and coffee (plus tip). We dined on only the 8th day since opening, and the wait staff was still working out a few kinks. But we felt very well attended to and appreciated the convivial attention from Chef Bacquet and his wife Michele. The space is casual and the tables reasonably spaced. The high ceilings might make for a higher-than-normal noise level on a busy night, but it wasn't an issue during our visit. We're thrilled to have a fine-dining option like Bacquet's nearby. Eagle is rapidly becoming home to some of the area's most interesting and diversified restaurants. read more

Enjoyed a fantastic dinner with some of the new menu options. The food was very flavorful and the restaurant was kept extremely clean. The service was exceptional and had the perfect pace. read more

So, my wife and I stumbled onto Bacquet"s Restaurant today, looking for a nice , friendly place for lunch. I have to admit I'd seen some raving reviews about Bacquet's in the past, not just about the food, but also the people (owners and staff)Turns out it took a chance drive-by to bring me through the door. The atmosphere was very nice... the food, WOW! my wife had chicken piccata, I had the best seafood salad I believe I've ever had. we finished with chocolate mousse and creme brulee; again absolutely excellent. Service was wonderful. I found this establishment to be every bit and more of what I had read about. Thank you Bacquet's, you are a restaurant gem in Eagle.. Steve S. read more

Great small French restaurant with a variety of other dishes available. The service is impeccable. They are attentive, patient and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is like a small French cafe. The French onion soup is exquisite with melted cheese overflowing the bowl. The house salad is fresh and bursting with flavor. Every dish I have had has been so wonderful to eat. The crust of the quiche is soft and flaky. The creme brulee is to die for. If you are a vegetarian, ask for "Gary's Vegetables" and the story of its creation. The staff will be happy to share. read more

Tonight was our first take-out from Bacquet's and they did not disappoint!! My husband and I shared a smoked prime rib meal and it was nothing less than amazing! They brought it out to the car at precisely my prearranged pickup time. Everything was so carefully bagged and packaged, the salad was fresh & crisp with creamy vinaigrette, the baguette warm & crusty, the prime rib cooked perfectly with a nice savory crust and mouthwatering, tender center. HUGE portions of prime rib, mashed potatoes and roasted carrots, with au jus & horseradish. And to finish it off, a divine slice of layered cake with tiramisu flavors. We are now stuffed and happy :-) Hats off to the incredible Chef Franck and attentive staff at Bacquet's, we can't wait to order from them again!! read more

Really really great food. But really expensive... Even for French food in Eagle. We go for special occasions. It has a great patio and often has live music. Wish it was a bit more affordable so we could go more often. read more

What a gem of a restaurant! From the friendly welcome to staff making us feel at home, we knew we were in for a great experience! The servers are so polite and helpful- they know the menu inside and out - and offered great suggestions for food and wine! Every course exceeded our expectations and we were so happy to be allowed the time to enjoy and discuss each course. We could not have asked for a better dining experience from start to finish! The ambiance must not be missed! Felt like we were in France, again! The attention to detail is so rare and so appreciated! read more

Baquet's did it, again. A meal to remember, and to want again. And again! The most scrumptious lasagna I've ever eaten. Every mouthful a savored delight, and portions ginormous. Fresh salad of mixed greens, brightened with their own dressing. Crunchy crusted bread with pillowy soft middle. Ended with a light and luscious strawberry layer cake. All of this generously feeding 4 for just under $100. Pre-COVID, we loved dining here. But Baquet's continues to care for their customers with pick- up or free delivery of their fabulous meals. Not only does it feel very right to patronize local restaurants, but Baquet's also uses fresh local ingredients, boosting the TV economy and bolstering community. They are the very best! read more

Authenticity meets charm. All the stars and a hat tip to chef! After honeymooning through France we were thrilled to find that the most authentic form of French food available in Idaho was right in our backyard. read more

The owner stated that those who are racist are not welcome. There was NOTHING stated in the comments about political parties or views. The owner publicly stated they do not welcome racists. Whom would have an issue with that???? Hmmm. Looking forward to dinning here! :) read more

This restaurant is great. The staff is personable and the atmosphere is fun. Our table started with a seafood flatbread. It's crispy crust came embellished with flavorful, tender shrimp and scallops with a rich pesto sauce. It was excellent. The chef composed a lovely meal with a perfectly cooked Kobe coulatte steak. He complimented it with a flavorful mushroom sauce, scalloped potatoes and steamed vegetables. What a treat! My two dinner companions were equally pleased with their selections. Presentation was beautiful. I will return. read more

The atmosphere was wonderful. The waiter attentive, knowledgeable on the menu, and prompt. The food was amazing. Everyone in our party ordered different menu items, everyone was raving about the quality and presentation of their meal. The wine selection was on point. Desert and coffee finished our evening out perfectly. We can't wait to return. read more

Have been there for lunch throughout last spring/summer and looooove dining there. I feel like i am back in France. The seafood appetizer and the duck l'orange are 2of my fav's. Also i love their Prosecco/sparkling wine. Such a nice trip to France for me aline or w/a friend. Truly my fav restaurant. The staff is VERY classy and friendly. Only small negative comment is service is a little slow but i take advantage of that to slow down, sip on my wine and enjoy the beauty of the restaurant and reflect. We Americans rush too much so I have learned to love all time spent there. Will take my bf there for her birthday for lunch soon‼ read more

The food is exceptional service is the best. When we have outlanders from California we always take them to Bacquet's Try it you'll like it . read more

Love Bacquet's! Staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable and the food is great! Thanks Franck

VERY expensive but good and worth trying if wanting French food. $15 for a cup of French Onion Soup! Escargot was good (but needed more garlic & seemed to be more in oily unsalted butter) and also I think $17ish for 5 I think of them. We will be back for lunch and a more pricey enter dinner for a special occasion. Service was Excellent!!! And I suggest making a reservation. read more

Wonderful food! Have been here several times with friends and family and have always been pleased with whatever we order. Fresh ingredients, interesting menu items, and a great wine selection.

Absolutely our favorite fine dining restaurant. Customer service and food is always incredible!

Franck and Michelle are amazing restaurant owners that have created a truly unique dining experience. Franck culinary expertise shines in each of his meals. The menu changes each day and you need to email to receive a copy by in advance. This extra step is the beginning of your adventure. Once you have decided what you want to order you will be escorted to the wine library where you can get assistance in picking out the the perfect pairing. Escargot is a speciality and delicious. Tonight we had the Pork Gorgonzola Dolce and the special of the evening, baked scallops served in a shell. OMG both dinners were amazing. So much flavor. Our server, Josh, was attentive and delightful. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert, but we will be back. If you are looking for a fine dinning adventure be sure to make reservations as soon as possible. Note: Franck has a YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UC_h-5SIm0q3V96C_w1P8sVA read more

Food is incredible. Atmosphere is unique. Romantic yet family friendly. I highly recommend brunch. Great mimosas.

Holy hell, if you haven't been here you don't know what you're missing! Order the escargot (you're welcome in advance), the food, staff, owners are all amazing. This is five star food served in an establishment that will make you feel like you've stepped into a restaurant in Europe, and French cuisine that will give the best restaurants in LA a run for their money! read more

Food is my love language! The truffle ravioli spoke to my heart. If there hadn't been so many people I would have wept tears of joy with the love I felt while using the crusty bread to soak up the amazing sage butter and balsamic reduction that these delightful little love pockets were served in. The house bubbly French champagne was beautiful . I had two glasses and enjoyed both. It took me forever to decide on the salmon belly with the scallops and a beautiful saffron cream sauce because the whole menu looked delightful. The immense pleasure that I got from this flavor combination was orgasmic. It was almost impossible to contain my moans of ecstasy luckily that was about the time the live music started. My husband got some sort of magical steak with mushrooms and yum sauce. It was so good that I may have eaten more than half of his meal as well. You would think at this point that I would know better but the bubbles had already gotten to my head so I ordered the decadent apple desert for two. It was so good that I can't even imagine ever eating a store bought desert again. It was seriously a life changing desert and it fed my soul. Now here I am hours later and so full asking myself why I would think that any normal person should be able to over indulge the way that I did tonight. Here's to 16 years of marriage and our new favorite restaurant. Thank you for such an amazing night I could feel the love that the chef put into each part of the experience and am truly thankful for the chance to enjoy the love of my life while eating such an amazing assortment of beautiful foods. read more
