Recently, I had breakfast here with a lady friend and found the ambiance to be quite pleasant and conducive to private conversation. When the breakfast arrived, I was disappointed to find only one (1) piece of toast with each serving. I complained to the server, a bit sarcastically, that even the lowliest restaurants served two pieces of toast with breakfast. Upon my request, the server then brought me a second piece of toast, but not for my guest. After hearing my complaint, the man who claimed to be the owner came to our table, and chastised me like a "school boy" (in front of my guest) for being disrespectful to his waiter. I found the owner's "approach" to this incident as excessive, unwarranted, tactless, and very disrespectful in it's own right. Before we left, I apologized to the server for any offense I might have caused him. The bill for two breakfasts, with tip, was was about $35.00. On a scale of 1 to 10, the food was just average (5 stars), the service better than average (7 stars); but, the owner's behavior was so boorish. I would give him "Minus" stars if I could. I will not return to this restaurant again. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Cafe Lapin twice. We heard about it through Groupon and thus bought and used a Groupon both times. Our first experience was phenomenal. It was on a Saturday evening and business was relatively slow. We had brought our own bottle of wine, which was quickly opened for us (no corkage fee). The dinner items are in the 15-25 dollar range, though you do get substantial portions. Both my girlfriend and I very much enjoyed our dishes, and we were very well attended through the dinner. Our second experience came about a month and a half later. It was on a Wednesday at around 5:00 P.M., and the kitchen was transitioning from lunch to dinner. We had brought wine again, decided to go with an appetizer to carry us through until they were ready to start their dinner menu. We also decided to split an entre this time, as we had had more than enough on our previous visit. The food was once again excellent. However, by 6:00 the restaurant became packed (no doubt the Groupon has worked) and there did not seem to be enough waiters to attend everybody effectively. It reminded me of Paris, actually. In Paris, the expectation often is that dinner is a long (2+ hour) affair so that one may enjoy the food and company at a leisurely pace. Unfortunately, we had booked another engagement at 7:00. It took a long time for us to pay for our food and get out. I highly recommend Cafe Lapin and their rotating dinner menus. The atmosphere is unique and perfect for a not-too-much-but-not-too-little date. Be prepared for a slow pace, though. Bring a bottle of wine and enjoy your time! read more

Cute idea for a place, but mediocre food. The sandwich presentation was extremely unappealing: A blob of chicken salad slapped between two plain pieces of bread dropped placed on a plate. No lettuce, no tomato, no garnish, no pickle, chips, etc... not the best first impression to be a plain sandwich plopped on a plain plate. It tasted ok, but it was really lacking in extras (mentioned above). I wanted lettuce, tomato, onion, at the very least. I did notice my friend had to spit out a bite of her chicken salad into her napkin. I did not have any unedibles in mine, thank goodness. Also, while this seems unlikely, the soup tasted like it came out of a can. It was a vegetable soup that tasted exactly like a vegetable soup out of a can with a metallic taste, and the veggies were soft and mushy as if from a can. I did not finish it. The coffee was mediocre. It wasn't weak, but there was nothing special about it. They have the throw-away half & half thimbles and standard sweetners, but being coffee in a French-themed cafe, I felt there should be more European flair and variety. Espresso drinks and fresh cream or milk would be worthy upgrades that would significantly add to the place. Cute place in theory, and I'll probably return because it's a nice little spot to meet the girls for brunch. But it isn't as great as it maybe should/could be. Hope it lives up to its potential. read more

We enjoyed ourselves, but the food wasn't too much to write home (or Yelp) about. I liked my turkey melt okay, but my husband said his chicken salad wasn't just okay as well. Still, an overall pleasant experience, and no real complaints. read more

This place is absolutely adorable! It's the perfect perfect spot for a ladies' lunch. I ordered the salad with curry chicken salad and a side of beets and oranges. It was absolutely delicious! I would absolutely go back here anytime. The staff is French and very courteous as well. Looking forward to trying their desserts sometime as well. Truly a hidden jewel. read more

If there were 10 stars, I would give them to Cafe Lapin! The food is consistantly excellent and the service wondeful. It is always a delight to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner here and enjoy the food, service, and yes, deserts. Thank you! read more

Horrible service, seat near door very chilly, full of Buckhead Bettys

The Carolina trout with spinach and rice was outstanding. Service was top notch and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.

Went for Sunday brunch and they were out of home fries. How is a brunch place out of home fries at noon on Sunday?! They're in the same shopping center as Publix - have someone walk over and buy some potatoes! How hard is that?! Service - not good. Coo-coo waiter was not super friendly and offered no replacement ideas when he told me they were out of home fries - no apologies, no subsitution ideas, nothing. He also left his serving tray on the garbage can outside after he served us our drinks - YUCK! Who wants their food served off of something that had been resting on the top of a garbage can?! Also when he brought us refills on our drinks (after bringing us the wrong drinks) he touched our straws and moved them into our new drinks rather than asking us to do so, or bringing us new straws. Sorry, but don't touch my straw pls! Gross! The owners were also unfriendly. I had to go inside to see what the deserts were (as our waiter didnt seem to have the list on the top of his head) and the owner, who was standing in front of the desert table offered no good morning, no how can i help you, no nothing - just looked like he was unsure of why I was there. Food overall was fine - and I love to support local homegrown businesses - but get it together people! Service is NOT GOOD! read more

Very cute spot! Crabcake sandwich was yum and I loved the carrot ginger soup!! Can't wait to try more!

The negative reviews here are perplexing. We've been to Cafe Lapin a number of times and have never had anything other than a great experience from both a service and food perspective. read more

So with my girlfriend we decided to come check out this place. I've heard good things about it, unfortunately that was not my experience. First let me state that there is a minimum level of service that should be provided, hot food hot and cold food cold. I am a bartender and trainer, I know and understand the struggles of a server and I am not one to rant. In this case it seems necessary. I ordered the cheese and mushroom omelette, what I received was an omelette with mushroom cheese and onions. I was told later that they were not onions they were leeks, if this is the case it would have been good to know prior to ordering, they add items that are not listed on the menu descriptions...what if I had an allergy! In addition the hash browns came out cold. I told the server immediately so they could fix it, after 15 minutes the server asked me if I still wanted it because they had not started preparing yet. That is terrible guest recovery further more I sat with an empty coffee cup for ten minutes. My girlfriends dish was much better she had the egg croissant, a side of French toast that was incredible. Sad to say her hash brown were also cold. I requested a manager which never came, they took care of the whole bill instead. Which was never my intention, I merely wanted what I previously requested. In my eyes they failed to capitalize on an opportunity and turn around my experience. The place was quite busy and maybe there short staffed the croissant was outstanding so I may give this place another try. But for now I give two stars. read more

It has been a long time since I had such a negative experience in a restaurant. I took my wife and my 96-year-old mother to this place today for Sunday lunch. We ordered coffees and three dishes. After about five minutes the coffees came. The folks around us were served, ate, and after half an hour or so began leaving. When we had been there 45 minutes, and no one had refilled our coffee, or brought us the food we had ordered we went up and found our waiter and asked him if we could get refills. After a few minutes he brought us more coffee. Didn't say anything about the food. After a little longer my wife went up and asked him when he thought we might be getting our dishes? About five minutes later he came to the table and told us he was sorry but they had lost our order and would start cooking it now. Unfortunately we already waited an hour, and had someone we had to pick up at the airport. So we paid for our three coffees and left, with a 96-year-old still unfed and now our happy leisurely Sunday not so much fun anymore. I really want to like this place. We live just a few blocks away, and it seems to be run by a family not a chain. But I think I'll have a hard time getting either my wife or my mother to go back there with me. read more

Food was delicious and priced accordingly. The great thing is that you can bring in whatever type of alcohol you want. We brought in several bottles of wine and there was no charge whatsoever . The meatloaf dish was good also. read more

We are fairly frequent patrons of Lapin, but given the treatment we were given last night-9/16/21-, we do not expect to go back again. We made a reservation for four for 7PM. The table was complete by 7:05 PM. Glasses of wine which are overpriced were ordered. Dinner was ordered. Three items (trout especially) were not available. We had to ask for more bread to go with the wine. Obviously, there was not more French bread available when we asked for more because we were served ordinary loaf slices. The dinner came in a jiffy. The four of us are each over 80 years old...we do not eat fast. We were not told the restaurant closed at 8 PM, because while still eating our dinners, we were asked at 8:10PM whether we ready or the check. One wanted dessert which was brought while we still eating the entrees. I know there is a Pandemic still going on, but, if the restaurant wanted us out by 8PM, they should have told us so when we made the reservation or when we sat down. The check totaled over $200. The prices were agreeable, the food was ok, but the treatment was unbelievable. If you go at 7 PM, order and eat fast especially if you want three courses, so you won't feel unwelcome...and when you make sure when you make the reservation and want to eat fish, the restaurants them. Never again for the four of us! read more

Let me start by saying that the only reason this place got one star is because there was no option for a zero star. We must have waited for about five minutes at the hostess stand before we were rudely acknowledged, which explains the mixed reviews. The host or server that finally did approach us, simply stated the wait was going to be ten minutes, then walked away before we could ask any questions. all in all we just felt like we we not wanted and neither was our business. Needless to say we walked down the block to another broken café and had an amazing experience from beginning to end. Oh the joy of being treated just like another human being. read more

Perhaps I'm wrong; however, as best I can determine, my credit card number was stolen at La Pin. I got bank alerts to the card's possible compromise, took care of the issue. My card was fraudulently charged with about $800.00 of purchases that I did not make, am told won't have to pay. Of course, I'm without that card until it is replaced. Two waiters helped my friend and me last Monday, October 28, 2019, The tall thin man with an accent helped us first, took our cards, disappeared, and a plump clearly American man finished up with us. On the ticket, the name Mitchell appears. We ate outside. If you've had this problem before, maybe this helps. Mina Harper: jdonharp@aol.com. read more

Damn it people, get off your butts and eat here. This is a great place for dinner on a date - feels like a hidden secret. AND you bring your own wine w/o a corkage fee. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf - yes, you read that correctly, bacon wrapped meatloaf - and it was excellent. Wish they had more selections on the menu, but no complaints other than that. Bring a neutral wine or 2. I brought an Albarino and a Cotes du Rhone and they both worked very well. read more

Went for brunch. Food looked good for the people who had it. We sat and looked over the menu and looked... After 15 minutes we left as no waiter came by to take drink orders or say hi. Shame as I have heard good things about this place and to be turned away due to bad service with such close competition is terrible. Agree with other reviews on service. read more

Good for lunch. Croissant sandwich is excellent. Beet salad is yummy. Nice to bring your own champagne. Service and orange soufflé was a joke -- funny, with a good attitude! read more

I come here every Sunday and never have to wait. Dog-friendly outdoor tables. Addicting chicken salad (I love the walnut chicken salad!). The servers are all so friendly. This place is hands down one of my favorite things about the neighborhood. They also serve wine and dinner, which I haven't taken advantage of yet. You can buy pints of their chicken salad to-go as well, which is great for week's where I'm too busy to cook or make a lunch. The mandarin soufflé is also amazing. They also have mimosa's and bloody Mary's, fun! The atmosphere is very quaint, cute, friendly, and neighborly. read more

Cafe Lapin is a rustic and comfortable little restaurant, nestled away in the Peachtree Battle shopping center. It's the kind of place that reminds you of home-- from the charming, rooster-shaped sugar containers to the freshly baked pies and cookies cooling by the kitchen. I went there for date night, around 7pm on a Tuesday. We were the ONLY table there the whole time... astonishing, because the food was DIVINE. Since it was a slow night at the restaurant, we were served by the chef, which only added to the appeal of this enchanting little eatery. We started with cups of chili- mine, the White Chicken Chili. His, the Sirloin Chili. Comfort foods, perfect for that frigid night. Then came the Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf with Fennel Gratin. One word- DELICIOUS. So were the Scallops w/ Roasted Carrots and Parsnips. Both dishes were perfectly paired with the wine WE brought in (with no corkage fee!). Dessert was a Chocolate Mousse Pie. I've never been a fan of chocolate, but WOW, was that good. We left happy and full. Please, please try this place. It's so good! read more

This is a great neighborhood place to have great cooking. Hands down, the people there are nice, the food is wonderful, and the cakes and pies - out of this world. I'd suggest the meatloaf (it's remarkable). I'd also suggest any of the salads - yummy! Keep up the good work! read more

Wonderful brunch lunch place. Doesn't really ever get too crowded which is nice. Best panini in Atlanta, in my opinion obviously. Turkey or ham, amazing. Staff is nice and good is affordable as well, can't recommend enough. read more

Cafe Lapin - Brasseries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Finally decided to give this a try after walking by countless times. I didn't enjoy my lunch experience here. Ordered a mushroom quiche with a side salad. Husband ordered a pimento grilled cheese and didn't like it. It was watery and runny. The quiche was the opposite and super dry and lacked any flavor at all. Service was rushed and rude. read more

A hidden gem in Atlanta! Also fantastic cakes if you need one for a party or birthday.

Really good food and dessert from this little French restaurant in Peachtree Battle Shopping Center. It was breakfast so we had the basics yet they were still yummy. Great atmosphere. I will be back to dine again. read more

Ok....I liked the place. It is great for a lady's lunch place. Many different kinds of chicken salad and yes I think I tried them all. The apricot chicken salad is the best !! I liked the walnut too. They have wonderful cookies which change every day. I do think they have the chocolate chip everyday. So...when you run into me here say hello because I will be there again. They are going to be serving high tea soon with all the goodies ~ yum! read more

The BEST cheese grits I've EVER had in my life! The food was spectacular, and the service was also top notch. I can't wait to go back!!! If only there was a Cafe Lapin in Los Angeles so I could go all the time!!! read more

Ive had better breakfast. But they are ok the staff is very friendly and cordial. I wish restaurants that serve breakfast would bring out warmed dishes that contain your food. Food gets cold so fast. read more

Great sandwiches and salads, great club esp. Good service and high quality ingredients.

This is a great, local find! Love the food here--fresh soups and salads and easy to get in and out for lunch! Staff so friendly. Great French place not stuff, great food! read more

The food was excellent, however, the service was horrible. I couldn't believe it, but the servers were gossiping about their customers at full volume! The ambiance was also sub-par. read more

Excellent French food, amazing coffee, and heavenly desserts. Food so good, you may faint. I would give it 5 stars but the lighting is a bit too dim inside. Oh, and the service is top-notch. read more

if I could give a ZERO I would. We (2 people) ordered a simple breakfast. we sat there for 45 minutes, no one came to our table to check on us. we ran out of beverages multiple times. Was finally told our order slip was "lost". An hour later our eggs come out, yeah eggs. I was actually looking forward to this place, now I never want to see this place again. Good luck if ya go. read more

Good food in the ptree battle shopping center which is a nice change from the usual suspects. Took our 18 month old on a "date" for dinner thinking it was a little more relaxed and it is a white table cloth spot. Had a salad, chicken entree and meatloaf which was particularly delish. Will go again with the hubby. read more

This is the most consistent lunch place in the buckhead area. I really enjoy the BLT, the soups, the burger as well as the desserts. I have only been for lunch a few times and I am looking forward to their dinner. read more
