Interior
Richard R.

I was really excited to learn a French bistro style restaurant had opened up on this side of the river. Cafe le Jardin is owned or run by the June BYOB people in nearby Collingswood. The restaurant is in a very nice little area of Audubon along Atlantic Avenue. The space is clean and open with some discreet and tasteful French touches. Our server was outstanding and attentive. We we were there for dinner and chose to sit inside as it was a little bit cool. However, the outdoor seating looked really nice. Our party of four ordered two appetizers and four main courses. We particularly like dining with these two friends as we all share each other's dishes so we get to sample a wide variety of the menu! The two appetizers were outstanding. The stuffed pumpkin was very good with great flavors and and also the Coquille St. Jacques. For the entrées, the standouts were the Moule-frites, the beef Bourguignon and the salmon Coulibiac. The sauce, for the muscles was excellent and went well with the frites and the soft bread provided by Cafe le Jardin. For dessert we had a very good and not overly sweet chocolate cake and also crème brûlée. I would definitely come back to this restaurant again and explore a little more of the menu. Cafe Le Jardin is a welcome addition to local food scene. 4.5 Yelp stars

Belgian waffles with a sweet sugary crust
Patti C.

Very cute cafe with quaint decor and plates old fashioned china ( all different) The servers are friendly and efficient Good iced coffee Crème brûlée French toast is on brioche bread which is very creamy and sweet . It is served with fresh berries, and crème brûlée sauce on top. No need for syrup The Belgium' waffles are also sweet with a slight crisp exterior served with fresh whip cream and berries . The tomato taste is similar to a flat bread made of layers of a light dough with fresh tomatoes and amazing flavors a bit pricey with smaller portions yet high in quality and flavor

truffle deviled eggs
Patrick C.

Good, casual, inexpensive fare can be had at Café Le Jardin. The location is fantastic with easy parking and great indoor and outdoor seating options. After 2 visits, I give it a solid 4 stars for the overall experience. The menu is nice with many of the French dishes I love to have out or to make at home. Visit One: I ordered a coffee, the breakfast radishes, the savory crepe and a chocolate croissant. They did not have the breakfast radishes so I substituted with the truffle deviled eggs. Good coffee and the food well-made and overall, a solid 3.5. The service by Tori was great. Visit Two: three of us went on a Sunday and again, the food was well-made and a solid 3.5 overall. I asked again for the breakfast radishes and again, they did not have it. At this point, the breakfast radishes should have a disclaimer next to them that says 'if available'. I ordered the salade Lyonnaise and the French onion soup. Both were good - not great. The poached egg was perfect and the potatoes were delicious but the dressing on the salad was not warm when the frisée was tossed with it and instead of true lardons, there was a light sprinkle of bacon bits. It was not terrible by any means but it wasn't great either. The croissant sandwich was deemed delicious as were the potatoes that accompanied it and the third diner had the truffle deviled eggs (delicious) and the croque madame. The croque madame was also deemed 'good, not great'. Service was not as good on the second visit, but it wasn't terrible. The food at Le Jardin is good, not great - but for the price, the ambiance, the location; it certainly is a good café that can only get better as it goes.

Cheese plate
Carrie S.

We had brunch out on the patio. I'm glad we had a reservation because it got busy on a Sunday morning. We started with the cheese plate. It came with 3 different kinds of cheeses, raspberries, some greens, and honey. They only put a small piece of bread but brought more when we asked. The blue cheese was the best. It was good but not sure if it's worth $22. I would've preferred having several other items instead. I had the frog legs. It came with 4. While they were delicious and meaty for frog legs, it didn't come with anything. I added the petite salad. I feel like I was still hungry after $19 worth of food. I would get the frog legs again but as an appetizer. The rest of the table had the ham and cheese croissant, croque madam, and cheese omelet. Also, side of potatoes and chocolate croissant. Absolutely no complaints on the food. Just didn't seem filling enough for our group. But we are big eaters. Being first timers, it would've been helpful to get a coffee/beverage menu. We didn't know all the options they have. It's not included on their menu. I would definitely come back. I want to try breakfast/lunch again but really want to see how dinner is. Sitting outside on the patio was so nice. The service was friendly. It was a little slow getting drinks, etc. but it was busy. And we were in no rush.

Creme brûlée french toast
Jessica M.

Overall great outcome! Initially there was a mixup of some sort, waited over an hour for brunch, however chef Rich came out and explained what happened and offered to comp meal and additional meals. Pics below. It was my son's birthday and they even gave him a gift card to return. That is how you treat customers. Lobster truffle Agnolotti was superb. All the flavors were spot on.

Gnocchi
Staci W.

Came here on a Saturday night. Our app came out fairly quickly but the rest of our meal took some time to come out. Truffle devil eggs were very good and could taste the truffle. My wife had the scallops and French onion soups scallops were perfectly cooked and the sauce with it was amazing. French onion was huge and very tasty. A bit too salty for my taste (not a huge salt fan) but my wife loved it. I got the beef tartar and the gnocchi. The beef was very good and huge. I would definitely recommend getting it to share. The gnocchi was just okay. As I said earlier I'm not a huge salt person but this actually needed it. The sauce was very bland. All in all we would go back when the menu changes for the season to try some other things.

Hot chocolate
Cheng Z.

We are back for brunch! Wonderful experience like last time. French toast has crunch caramelized skin and is so fun to eat. Omelette and croque madame are good as well! People working here are nice as usual. We will need to come back for the foie gras burger.

French Toast - Amazing!
 Delicious breakfast with Rockstar Regineration Construction and Renovation Co. Audobon, NJ

Went here with my gf (T.C.) and her grandson. Had a delicious breakfast. One of the best ever. They make an amazing french toast with carmelized sugar and some delicious creme topping. Soooo good. Teri loved her meal as well. *****Highly recommend this quaint little jewel of a breakfast spot!***** Rich Kulakowski Anthem, Arizona

French toast was fantastic!
Norm A.

Heard good things and decided to pop in. Outstanding atmosphere. Formal/casual. Will definitely want to sit outside next time to check the patio. Cappuccino was right on and the French Toast was truly amazing. I'll be back with family to share this gem.

Bread basket: baguette, rosemary focaccia, honey and butter.

Richard and Christina Cusack of June BYOB have another restaurant now open in Audubon with Chef Jay Shipp in command. Just finished a great Saturday night dinner here, every course was excellent! French onion soup was to die for, wild boar sausage and lentils - outstanding! Wife had trout almandine, steak frites for me, both so good. We really appreciate that portions were correctly sized...makes for a more comfortable dining experience. Full house when we left at 8:15 so be advised on a Saturday night you will need reservations. Only issue was the noise level greatly increased as the restaurant filled up. That aside, worth the trip for the great food, service and ambiance. Chef Jay - you hit it out of the park tonight...we'll definitely be back!

Omelette
Shannon K.

Update: we came back for dinner! Dinner was delicious. Service was exceptional. The steak frites and scallop dish were the standouts for me.

Stuffed Pumpkin

So delicious and such a cute cafe! Their stuffed pumpkin was excellent! Will definitely be back!

I am Thinking of making reservations for 4 on Thursday 3/13 but I don't think my friends would want the cooking class. Can I still make reservations for us to have dinner?

Hello - we’re only offering the fish cooking demo on Thursday. A la carte will not be available.

Does this restaurant offer take out?

Who orders French cuisine for takeout?? Duh

My husband, who has been to Paris and is very particular about his escargot, said it was the closest he has ever had to the real thing. That alone says a lot. We started with the mushroom toast, which was hands down the best toast we have ever had, along with deviled eggs topped with salmon roe that added the perfect burst of flavor. Every bite felt thoughtful and elevated. For our mains, we ordered the coq au vin and duck frites, and both were outstanding. The sauces were rich and balanced, and the meats were cooked perfectly. Dessert sealed the deal with crème brûlée and pot de crème. The crème brûlée, especially, was a masterpiece. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is small and charming with a cozy, intimate feel. The staff were warm and attentive and made the whole experience even better. This place deserves way more hype than it gets. If you are anywhere near Haddonfield, do not miss it.

French onion soup was rich in flavor with Gruyere slathered on top. It was as expected but it was the crepe with crab that I enjoyed much more. Although there were no chunks of crab, the crème fraiche was quite tasty. For our entree, Duck Cassoulet, i realized I would have preferred the other option of Bouillabaisse Vol-au-vent. I think this was a mere preference of choice as the Duck had no issues. My husband also ordered this and ate every bit of it. Our dessert was the crème brûlée but while I enjoyed it, the center was cold. The restaurant itself is small and condensed with tables tightly squeezed together. Service was very good and friendly. Would I come back? Yes, for a restaurant week that offers variety.

Here I go again--another French bistro I absolutely adore…read more Christine's French Bistro is everything you want in a cozy, decadent French spot: small, intimate, softly lit with sconces, and anchored by a beautiful bar you can dine at or just sip champagne and linger. Let's be honest--I come here for one reason: the soufflés. They are my kryptonite. Sweet or savory, they never disappoint. I've had the chocolate (rich, decadent, flawless), though I'm still chasing my ultimate favorite--the elusive Grand Marnier soufflé. One day... Beyond that: * Mussels + champagne = always a win * Service is warm and welcoming * Prices feel fair for the quality and experience This place has become part of my ritual when I'm in the area. I'll fly into Newark Liberty International Airport, hop on the Amtrak Acela, get off in Princeton, head straight here, and yes--plan my trip around a soufflé. No regrets. The location is perfect--right in the heart of Princeton, which is one of those charming, walkable towns with tree-lined streets and that classic, almost European feel. There's garage parking nearby, but honestly, once you're there, you won't need your car. Perfect for: * Date night * Dessert and champagne with friends * Solo bar seating (highly recommend) Bottom line: Elegant, cozy, and worth going out of your way for--especially if you love a proper soufflé. Life's too short not to eat well. Go make it happen.

There were literally 8 French fries on the plate and they were cold. I understand restaurants are trying to cut costs but potatoes are still cheap. One diner had the lamb special which was supposed to be served with a sauce but was dry and flavorless. The accompanying black rice was just there. The only positive was our server who was helpful and friendly. This is Princeton for Pete's sake. Most of the patrons have been to France and know good dining.

There's something about La Provence in Ambler that just feels special. La Provence…read more It has that romantic French countryside ambiance that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. It's also BYOB, which makes it even better -- bring your favorite bottle and make a whole night out of it. The vibe is warm, intimate, and perfect for date night, but they also have a gorgeous outdoor space that can host up to 100 people, making it such a hidden gem for larger parties and celebrations. They opened in September 2019 -- just six months before the pandemic -- which makes what they've built even more impressive. It's truly family-driven. The husband, Manuel (from Spain), is the head chef, and you can absolutely taste the care and authenticity in every dish. Cindy, who is from Panama, brings so much heart to the restaurant as well. We started with Prince Edward Island oysters and the crab salad, which had crispy bacon pieces for a great touch of texture and the crab was incredibly fresh -- such a perfect balance of flavors and crunch. For entrées, the beef bourguignon was rich, comforting, and everything you'd hope for from a classic French dish. The Dover sole felt elegant and perfectly executed. We ended with the chocolate mousse, which was light, decadent, and the perfect sweet finish. And I have to mention our server -- Delroy was fabulous. Attentive, personable, and so knowledgeable. He truly elevated the entire experience. Between the ambiance, the hospitality, and the beautifully prepared food, La Provence is absolutely somewhere I'll be coming back to for an elevated night out.

Food was very good some portions were smaller than expected service was very attentiveread more
