    ISRAELI BREAKFAST.
    Jennifer C.

    Wow is the only word that best describes cafe bastille. We're visiting from NYC to take a cruise. We really wanted to have a great breakfast for send off and this restaurant delivered. We ordered the French toast, steak and eggs, and Israeli breakfast. EVERYTHING was on point and delicious. The potatoes were nice and crunchy and well salted. The plates could really be shared since they were so hearty. Even the peanutbutter chocolate shake was great. My son is a picky eater and he ate a lot and drank down the shake. Highly recommend if in the area. The service was lovely and the ambience is romantic with good music.

    TRUFFLE CROQUE MADAME.

    As usual, every dish that I get at this restaurant is a 10 out of 10. This time I got the truffle croque Madame and it was phenomenal. We also got truffle fries for the table and they were really delicious as well. Someone I was with got the avocado toast and said it was delicious and another person got the Turkish eggs and also said it was delicious. Overall, the food was great and our server was very sweet and attentive as well.

    The portions are very generous and the food is pretty tasty. Pricing is a bit on the ridiculous side for some basic breakfast plates. Great seating and ambiance for sure especially the outdoor seating on the water.

    My mom and I went to Cafe Bastille for breakfast and it was such a cute spot. We sat outside and had a really lovely view of the water, which made the whole experience even better. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was very good. For food, we got the yogurt parfait and the dulce de leche French toast, and both were delicious. Everything tasted super fresh and very well made. The service was also really good. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in Fort Lauderdale!

    We visited Café Bastille on a Sunday for brunch, and overall it was a really great experience. Just a heads up--they don't take reservations, so it's walk-in only. We were initially quoted a 45-minute wait for a table but once we got there we requested a table right by the wayater, so we decided to grab two coconut foam matchas (served iced only) and walk around. To our surprise, it wasn't even 20 minutes before we got a text that our table was ready, which was a nice bonus. Our server, Jean, was fantastic--very attentive, patient while we took our time deciding, and gave great recommendations that we ended up loving. At first, we were going to be seated at a table that wasn't directly on the water, but we let the hostess know we preferred to wait a bit longer for a waterfront table. I'm really glad we did because the views made such a difference. Once seated, we ordered two hot pistachio lattes, the Turkish eggs, the Smoked Salmon Benedict (which comes with a bowl of house potatoes), and the Steak and Eggs Bowl. Everything was delicious and well-prepared, and the drinks were just as good as they looked. The side aioli that comes with the house potatoes was especially good--honestly so good that the portion felt a little small, and we ended up asking for more (which we also used on the steak and eggs bowl). One thing I really appreciated is their ingredient quality and sourcing--they fry exclusively with beef tallow, cook with butter and EVOO only, use free-range chicken and cage-free eggs, and even their non-dairy milks are seed-oil-free. It's a detail you don't see everywhere and definitely adds to the overall experience. Between the great food, beautiful waterfront views, and lively atmosphere, it made for a really enjoyable brunch. Definitely worth checking out if you don't mind a bit of a wait!

    Everything about this experience for our 9- people bachlorette was amazing! Our server Niccole, took so much care of us & she was very sweet and attentive. the food was fresh, delicious & came out at reasonable time! The noice level was ambient. We were still able to talk and hear each other. very casual. Highly recommend. :)

    .Came on a Thursday for a bday brunch, 10:30 am. It was busy but they sat us within a few minutes. This restaurant is mostly outdoor but there is an inside area as well. Super cute and aesthetic including napkins and plates. Food was good but it came out cold. Turkish breakfast was good, sweet potato waffles were good not too sweet. I had the Tiramisu Tini to drink, it was amazing. Service was very slow and sitting outside without umbrellas was painfully hot. May come back in cooler weather. Should have more waiters since this is a busy place.

    Sunday brunch, no reservations allowed, expected time of an hour and 1/2 which is fine. We were 7 adults and 4 children. If I could give this place a zero or negative I would. Unfortunately it doesn't allow it. Manager and assistant manager should be replaced. They just walk around with iPads and clueless. Here's the rundown: I proceeded to the "inside bar/ pick up area " and waited 15 min for someone to make a vodka drink and mimosa. The male manager passed by me probably 3 times and the assistant Allison twice. I finally lost my patience and asked Allison when she passed by a 3rd time - who I can place the order with. She said oh I can take your order. Proceed with my 2 drinks and went back to the front. There was a lady waiting to order I told her good luck, they all work on the tickets receive but the manager is the guy and I think assistant is the girl but they split. Upon check in to the host we asked if we can keep the cake at the hostess stand to not carry drinks and cake and for the cake not to melt. They said they couldn't. They eventually sat us in the table where the scorching sun was right at us claiming that ALL the umbrellas were broken. We were holding the menus on our faces to help with the sun. We ordered drinks and and I asked for my vodka drink where the waitress advised me that they don't do spirits, so when I ordered with the assistant manager a vodka cocktail she did not tell me it was wine based or whatever they call it. I'm like okay at this point, whatever. Let's talk about the food... the French toast Nutella was the only good thing, everyone was trying my plate as theirs was horrible. Their meal of meat was very chewy. 2 of our friends ordered unlimited mimosas. It was pulling teeth to get a second mimosa after 45 min. We ordered 4 "tequila" espresso which one had a hair in, as soon as the server started giving us the drinks my friend noticed before it got to me and I got a picture of it. She asked if I wanted to make another one, of course not! All they would do as lazy as they all were working was probably remove the hair. The lady server left and never told us she was leaving so we were patiently looking waiting for her and eventually realized she left. They charged us a $25 cake fee that no one let us know. When we got seated I asked again if they can put in fridge so it wouldn't melt in the scorching heat they put us in. They said no - because of "cross contamination" mind you it was a publix sealed cake. So we covered it as much possible but half melted. Fine... when we got the check and saw the $25 cake fee, we asked and they argued that we had to pay it. We even brought our own plates and candle. But we didn't think we could need a lighter, they couldn't give us one. But they sure wanted to charge us for the cake fee lol. Allison had to tell her worthless manager and finally removed from our account as a "one time". As if we were guilty. We also had a big birthday balloon that a friend gave to the birthday girl but the hostess told us we couldn't take to the table and they would hold it for her when we departed. When we left, the hostess was gone and balloon as well. It's not much, but it's the small details. The customer service, the male manager and assistant if that was her role looked so miserable and disgruntled. We finally got our check with the mandatory 20% which they truly did NOT receive. The manager upon leaving and the staff looking for balloon that they couldn't find, tried to make it better by offering us the "best made drink by him" wine based drinks to go, which were gross but I think is against the law to take in alcohol plastic cups to your car. I threw mine out as it tasted like a headache. I don't think none of us will ever be back, nor anyone we told about the horrible experience. It had great reviews on tik tok and IG the main reason we went. Go elsewhere!!! Better brunch places out there with better service.

    This place is a must for breakfast/brunch. It's in the perfect sport, nestled a few blocks away from the busy Las Olas blvd. We arrived around 9:30 am without reservations and there was already a line! We waited for about 15 mins before we were able to get seated. It was a crisp cool 60 degree morning, so we decided to sit outside. In true Florida fashion (New Yorker here) they had heaters in strategic locations around the patio. For drinks, we ordered the FRENCH TOAST CAPPUCCINO & HOT CHOCOLATE. They were both so rich and delicious. I could definitely see what the hype is about. Next came the TURKEY BRIE BENEDICT and FRANK'S FAMOUS HASH. In their Benedict's, they use their in house croissant instead of the usual English muffin. This was a delicious substitution and I won't have it any other way. The Benedict was topped with the most perfect porched egg. Just delicious! Franks famous hash was also a pleaser. Sausages were perfectly cooked with a little crisp on the bottom and seasoned perfectly. It came with some deliciously fried potato. We left with happy tummies. :-)

    Came here for brunch today with my friend cause we wanted a cute little brunch spot. They don't take reservations so when we arrived around 1pm on Saturday, they quoted us a 35 minute wait for outside seating. We ended up waiting an hour for a table which was a little annoying since we were told 35 minutes, but whatever. They have a little waiting area in the front of the restaurant with umbrellas and seats as well as a bar cart that sells coffee and mimosas/bellinis. They automatically include 20% gratuity which is a little annoying, but again, whatever. They also only have 2 restrooms, so there's always a line to use it and it's right in the kitchen area/by the front door so it gets busy and you don't really have anywhere good to stand and wait. Other than those negatives, I really liked the place. It is a super cute restaurant/cafe and is located right on the water. They have giant umbrellas outside that cover the entire patio. I will say the tables are pretty close together, but we didn't mind. The food was pretty good and drinks were also nice. I will say we literally thought our server clocked out for the day and didn't tell us because one our food came out he legit never came back to check on us till it was time to leave. This was annoying because we had ordered bottomless mimosas, and he never came around to refill our drinks. We had to get someone else to refill our drinks for us. 20% gratuity is also automatically included in the bill for the restaurant. I enjoyed my meal here, but idk if I'll go out of my way to come back.

    Café Bastille is a Fort Lauderdale gem. The waterfront vibe is chic and the food is even better. The ​pistachio iced latte was the perfect pistachio flavor and creamy. For food, I got the Croque Madame. The truffle béchamel makes this incredibly decadent. ​We got great service and even better views. Great for a chic brunch enjoying the beautiful Florida winter weather.

    Steak and egg bowl

    Food and service were outstanding. We enjoyed the steak and egg bowl and the short rib bun sandwich, along with a pitcher of sangria. Gives the feel of a quaint European restaurant.

    STUFFED NUTELLA FRENCH TOAST.

    I visited on a weekday thinking it would be less crowded, but it definitely wasn't. We waited about 40 minutes and then were seated along the water. It was a little cold the morning we went and the restaurant had heaters which really helped. We ordered a strawberry matcha, Nutella French toast, avocado toast and a steak and egg bowl. The avocado toast is so well presented, stacked high with cucumbers, onions and feta cheese on sourdough. The Nutella French toast (I subbed bananas for strawberries) had Nutella inside and on top. The steak and egg bowl is filled with everything from rice to mushrooms to avocado to eggs, steak, etc. It is so filling and well worth the 30 dollars. There aren't many places that I would wait for breakfast, but this is definitely one you won't regret. I've never been disappointed by anything we ordered here. You should stop here if you're in Fort Lauderdale!

They close for a couple months during each summer as well so check to make sure they are open before going. Really glad I finally stopped in for a meal and will definitely be back! We tried the escargot and 2 orders of mussels- curry and white wine. Both orders of the mussels were great with the curry being the stand out of the two. The white wine was more mild in flavor, but you can't go wrong with either of these. Each order of mussels came with fries and a glass of wine or beer. The fries were cooked and paired perfectly with the mussels/sauce. Mussels were high quality and very fresh. Also, I really enjoyed the Leffe beer that I tried and was included with one of the mussels orders. The mussels were definitely a large portion that could easily be shared. Will be going back to order more mussels in the future! The Escargot was phenomenal. Highly recommend this to anyone stopping in to eat. The ambiance was very intimate- dimly lit, white table cloth, and overall cozy. It did feel a bit like being in Europe with the table next to us all speaking French. The service was also a highlight- Our server was great and made our dining experience feel very relaxed with no rush at all and providing recommendations. This would be a great date night spot or place to catch up with friends or family over food/drinks. Looking forward to returning!
