Gerald E.

Above average, hidden jewel. It is on the lower level of a shopping center on Roswell Road. You will need to drive up in and down in to see it on the corner of the building. Once there, there is a group of people who know it well as it seems to have a crowd of regular smegulars. Great place to bring a friend or 2 and have lunch or the laptop and do a zoom meeting or catchup on some work with some authentic food. They even have desserts. I noticed a few people come in and just get something sweet and leave. I had planned to get my food to go but the atmosphere was so inviting that sat and stayed awhile. Food is good but it may not fit everyone's flavor palette. Salad and sandwich is safe if that is the case. Everything is made to order so it may take a minute to get your custom order out to you. This is not McDonalds but better. Come Cafe'.

Food was amazing, staff is very very kind and patient. Really nice ambiance to get work done. I was here for a about 1.5hrs and had absolutely no problems, got all my work done on my laptop. Highly recommend

Tuna French sandwich and French toast with eggs
Luz L.

The food was so flavorful and delicious, the bread was soft and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. I tried my friend's French toast and it was so fluffy and sweetened just right without having to put any syrup. The service was fast and staff were very friendly and polite. The sit down area is open and clean with beautiful natural light coming in. I will be coming here more often. This is honestly a hidden gem I'm glad I discovered.

Chai Latte
Rishmithaa S.

Some of the best croissants I've had in the States. Great chai latte, not too sweet like some places make it. Ambience is really pretty and cozy, would love to bring a book here to read. I will try the entrees next time.

A terrible croque madame and a mediocre ham and cheese sandwich.
Allen B.

We had bought pastries from here before, so we decided to come back by for lunch. I ordered the croque madame. For those who don't know, a croque monsieur and croque madame need to be made extremely specifically to be even close to authentic. A croque monsieur is a sandwich with ham, a cream béchamel sauce, and cheese - typically a gruyere or similar. The sandwich is then topped with more béchamel and cheese, then broiled to melt and brown the cheese. It's creamy, savory and cheesy. A croque madame is exactly the same with an egg on top, typically sunny side up or over easy. What Café Vendôme served me what not, by any stretch of the imagination, a croque madame. The sandwich I was given had clearly never been near a béchamel sauce. What this sandwich had on it was ham and a tiny pinch of shredded cheese (mozzarella I think), then more cheese on top, then topped with an egg that somehow managed to be nearly burnt on the bottom and raw on top. I was immensely disappointed in this. However, I cannot give this 1 star because while it was no croque madame, the ham and cheese sandwich I got was edible. The bread was fine, the cheese was fine, the ham was fine. I ate it, but I wasn't happy with it. My verdict -- get the pain au chocolat, avoid the croques.

a variety of pastries on display
Coleton M.

Spent $14 for only 2 items. This was my first time coming here and I got to say that it was calm and welcoming, but the price and taste were not there for the food and drinks. Didn't live up to the Paris Standards _________________________________________________________ PARKING | [Parking was easy to find, even in a small complex building. The address will take you straight to the location and soon as you find the building, there should be plenty of spots to choose from; either in front of the building or in the open lots.] _________________________________________________________ EXTERIOR & INTERIOR | [The exterior of the building is in a small convenient shopping complex and is a little hidden in the back area (wish they were in the open more near the highway). Soon as you see the building, it is hard to miss the big red sign which is their logo. Soon as you walk in, the decor is pretty catered to the more urban, Paris look, which is what they are going for. They have plenty of seating to choose from whether it is inside or outside seating. You have some seating for comfort, traditional, or even bar style.] _________________________________________________________ IS IT CLEAN? | [For the most part, I have not seen a dirty spot anywhere in the store. It was pretty clean when I walked in and walked out.] _________________________________________________________ FOOD & DRINKS | [Here comes the important part which you want to note. The food and drink was delicious and it was good. However, for the price of $14 worth of just two items, which was pretty insane, it wasn't all that great or different from any other place. It was honestly a little disappointing that the chocolate croissant didn't live up for to the standard of its high price value of proximity $4-5. It was lacking the chocolate and croissant combination because it seemed like they wedge only two chocolate pieces in the croissant and just focused on baking the breading than focusing on the taste texture and uniqueness of the chocolate croissant. Now for the Almond Latte which was probably the more higher value item on the board which is around $8-9. For a coffee that is smooth, it was basic with no care. The latte should come with some ideal flavor or hit to give you a wow spectacular, but however, it tasted no different than a coffee that you would get at your local market. The foam on the latte is key to its success, even with design, but it didn't have the success nor design to live up to its standard. Coffee is the highlight of my day and if I am not satisfied by at least the coffee, then it has not gained my respect. When comes to a cafe, the coffee (at least) should be designed, tampered, and developed with care and respect, but however, this coffee was not given any respect at all.] _________________________________________________________ SERVICE ‍‍| [The service was quick and simple to the point.] _________________________________________________________ OVERALL | [Would I recommend this place? Only if you are wanting to see the interior of the building. For something that is so basic and has no spark, it is disappointing to the least that the shop doesn't put care into their coffee, more or less, create a memorable experience with their food. For a store that incorporates a more Paris -Style cafe, it is not the Paris-style cafe you are going to hope for.]

Chocolate Almond Croissant
Carlie M.

Came here last week to pick up a croissant to go. I came in around 1pm. It wasn't too crowded and I was able to order quickly. A lot of the pastries were sold at this point in the day. I got the chocolate almond croissant to go. It was a bit pricey, but most pastries and croissants are these days. It was a large croissant! And very tasty. I warmed it up when I got home. I'd like to return to try their breakfast and coffee as well!

We tried this place 3x. Once for pastry pickup for a get together with friends, that was the only good experience we had at Cafe V. The other 2 visits were not good. #1 coffee drinks are ordinary (given the price) ... look, I don't mind paying a high price for quality but if it isn't, that's just disappointing. Plus, we've been to France and are familiar with what they serve. On both occasions our food was substandard...he ordered breakfast each time...no good. The servers didn't seem to care either. I had a direct view of the kitchen, where I could see the workers eating and then plating the guests meals ... yikes!!! Which didn't make for an appetizing scene at all!!! Can you imagine??? I had only ordered a pastry during that visit ... still made me a little queasy. This is an honest assessment of my three visits ... perhaps yours will be different (I hope so). I really wanted this to be my go-to place and had high hopes. :-(

Iced matcha
Gwen P.

First thing I thought of when we sat down is it reminded me of a hotel lobby cafe, but some people had their laptops out working so I guess it's a good place to study or do work. The drinks: Latte was decent. Matcha latte was not great, but should've known to not order a matcha latte at a French-style cafe. The food: we got 3 tartelettes, 1 croque monsieur (not pictured), a hot latte, and an iced matcha. I wish I'd taken a pic of the croque monsieur bc it was the saddest sandwich for $15 I've seen in awhile. The bread was super thin and the cheese melted on top seemed super artificial. There wasn't much meat in the sandwich either. The tartelettes were alright. The best one was probably the almond one on the top left bc it had a raspberry jam inside it. All in all, we spent $50+ at this place and regretted it. Maybe if you want a coffee and a quick pastry this is a fine place to stop by. But otherwise, nope.

Delicious sandwich. Okay potatoes.

So, we managed to get away one evening and this did not disappoint. My colleagues are still talking about the butter a week later. The atmosphere is cozy and the style resembles post deco Paris (which makes sense given the inspiration for the restaurant). We sat outside on a gorgeous evening. The soft lighting would have added a hint of romance had I not been with colleagues! We were downright celebratory at our success. We ordered fun cocktails (and all agreed that the Encore! Encore! was the best btw - so good) and apps to split (crudo, fries, and a couple of bowls of French onion soup). The bread and butter was even great. Like I said, my coworker continues to wax nostalgic for it. I got the poullet. It was decadent. I cannot recall what everyone ordered but what I got to try was excellent: the schnitzel and the tortellini were so delish. I loved how the schnitzel was topped with a fresh salad too. I'm sure it helped cut the heaviness of the dish. The tortellini was luxurious with black truffle. So dangerous. The service was lovely and the staff is dressed smartly! It was a magical evening.

Alternatively you can enter through a brick gateway by Jeni's ice cream and walk down an outside walkway. Either way -it's worth the search for the le (petit) Sparrow.

It was rich, well-seasoned, and held its own alongside the meat dishes. Green Papaya Salad: Generously portioned and remarkably satisfying--it never fails to deliver a crisp, refreshing crunch.

Highly recommend for any group looking for vibrant French-Vietnamese flavors and plenty of solid options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

I'd happily return for lunch with family, a girls' gathering, business lunch, or a date. * Service: Truly top notch, especially if you're lucky enough to have Gordon as your server. He had the perfect balance of attentiveness, charm, and dry wit. The kind of service that elevates an already great meal. * Crab salad: I'm usually not much of a crab person, but this was excellent. Light, fresh, and with just a hint of sweetness from the passion fruit dressing. * Tuna tartare: Excellent. I was worried the sesame might be overpowering, but it was actually just a subtle hint that gave it a lovely Asian-inspired flavor profile. Delicious on the wonton. The knife work was a little clunky, but the taste more than made up for it. * Branzino: Light, perfectly cooked, and paired with a bright fennel salad. Simple and beautifully executed. * Le Croque Monsieur: A must if you're hungrier! Essentially a croque madame with a sunny-side-up egg on top... just wow. And the fries are perfection. * Chocolate mousse: Light and a lovely way to finish the meal. Almost like a little palate cleanser after lunch. * Wine: Great wine list. Naturally, we went with Sancerre because that's my go-to. And then Gordon took the experience to another level... My mom had brought a card for my husband and me that said "Happy Anniversary." We never mentioned it to anyone and kept it tucked away, but Gordon happened to notice it. When dessert arrived, he had chocolate syrup written to say "Happy Anniversary," complete with candle sparklers. We were completely caught off guard. That level of observation and thoughtfulness is what memorable hospitality looks like. I'll also acknowledge that I had some hesitation coming back. I had a reservation here a few years ago and was turned away because I was wearing jeans, which honestly left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Le Bilboquet is undeniably high-end and clearly makes an effort to curate its atmosphere and clientele, which I can respect, even if that particular experience was disappointing. After giving it another shot, I'm really glad I did. This lunch was lovely from start to finish. I also noticed several guests wearing jeans this time around, so perhaps the dress code has relaxed a bit. Bottom line: Refined, polished, excellent food and genuinely exceptional hospitality. If you've written Le Bilboquet off based on an old experience or some of the negative press over the years, I'd say it's worth giving another shot. I'm glad I did!
