This place is sooo cute! Me and my family loved it. We stopped in unexpectedly today and we are so happy that we did. Our waitress Kate was very sweet and attentive. The food was so delicious, there aren't many place I can go where my entire family will clear their plates. This is one of them and we will we back. Their coffee, pancakes, French toast, bacon, potatoes and scrambled eggs are all exceptional!!! read more

This place is a little jewel. I've stopped here several times for lunch with my son. And my son is the one who actually told me about this place. He had come here several times with a couple of his friends from college and said I needed to give it a try. I ordered biscuits and gravy and it's not like your typical biscuits and gravy. It just has way more flavor than you would expect. I sampled a few other various items off the menu and everything was outstanding. The staff is very nice and courteous and it's just a cozy little place to go and get some food. It's also very clean inside and it's one of these businesses that if you're not paying attention, you'll just drive right past. It's kind of hidden out of the way, but it is definitely worth going. It's not a huge restaurant and I didn't have any trouble finding parking. It also wasn't very busy at the time that we went so I would imagine it will get busy with the breakfast or lunch rush but both times that I've been it's been really nice. Highly highly highly recommend visiting this at least once and trying it read more

Loved it!! My friend & I decided on brunch here. Neither of us had been, but upon researching options, this seemed to be the one. We were not disappointed. We were seated upon arrival and our server was excellent - I wish I remembered her name. She was great. Inside is decorated really nicely... very cutesy as my daughter would say. I ordered the strawberry matcha and oh my gosh... delicious. My friend then ordered her one after seeing mine. I had the strawberry cheesecake waffle and side of bacon. All good. She ordered a breakfast with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Definitely going back!! read more

Hidden around a small corner outside of Denton square is this adorable restraint. L'Amitie Bistro is tucked inside an old building, and the charm of the old place remains constant throughout your experience. It honestly felt like I was going to a families house for lunch... it was just that comfortable and peaceful there. They played old French music - but lightly so you can hear it but let it be the focus of your experience. I ordered the caprese panini and it came with homemade chips. It was delightful! Some caprese sandwiches feel like they're missing some with me at other restaurants... like I could have slapped it together myself. But not here, it was created with care and I tasted it with every bite. I also ordered one pancake with homemade blueberry compote - and oh my! It was delicious. read more

Came out to Denton today and found this restaurant. It's unassuming from the outside but inside is such a vibe. It's perfectly decorated the little cozy rooms that you could sit with your girlfriends or have some private space. We ordered the lemon blueberry crêpes and the ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwich. Both were exceptionally delicious! But the star of the show was the sugar-free caramel latte. We are connoisseurs of lattes wherever we go and this was by far the best we've had. We got a second one on the way out after we discovered that between eight and nine Wednesday through Sunday they are half price. Great deal! Will definitely go there again! read more

We didn't realize this place was the old Meat Up. Odd location but def a better one for brunch. No eggs Benedict on the menu is odd but plenty of other options. We each got an omelet. Potatoes were too big for what we like. The cheeses jalapeño grits were really good. Omelets were okay. Service was very slow and our waitresses kept forgetting things but she was very sweet and polite. Don't think we will be back. It doesn't really stand out. read more

Back again! The little building keeps trying! This time we are here for brunch before a big shopping day! The service was excellent, and we started with some nice latte's, and I had the French Madeline! They have a good selection of syrups to add in! The Dirty Chai was also amazing! We enjoyed the beignets, which were a little different, but we got gentle crispy outsides, and soft fluffy insides, so we were pretty happy! However, we came for the Belgian Waffle! Chocolate chips, bacon and maple made it rock! None of that made it to the take home bag! In and out, quick and easy, reasonable pricing! 5 STARS read more

I got a new friend in Denton, and while I would like to keep our friendship a secret, the truth be told, word is all over town. L'Amitie Bistro is my friends name, and if you are familiar with the French language you already know that L'Amitie means "Friendship". Nestled in an old house, converted to a French Bistro, is some of Denton's finest cuisine. Paired with great service, this place is hard to beat. We ordered the Ham & Cheese Omelette, Strawberry Cream Cheese Crepes, and Pancakes with Blueberry Compote. Everything was FANTASTIC! When my meal ended came the time to say, "au revoir jusqu'à la prochaine fois", or goodbye my friend until next time! read more

Looked forward to visiting this gorgeous place again on our trip to Denton. Absolutely beautiful inside and outside Friendly staff and speedy service. Loved that they even stock the bathroom with items you may need. Feminine products and diapers! Just in case If all of that wasn't enough- the food is mouthwatering and the coffee is absolutely lucious! The waffles soft yet toasty and the ham and cheese omelette was so fluffy. Absolutely a must visit when in Denton read more

Food is okay just fancy prices! The place is small & gets crowded due to small spot, I order The American breakfast with a coffee.

My husband and I had brunch here on our 30th Anniversary. We made a reservation in advance and they saved us the cutest table behind a half wall where we could still see the restaurant but were more secluded and it was adorable! This was our first time here and it did not disappoint! Our drinks were perfect- I got a London fog earl grey and my husband tried a seasonal coffee. We started with a biscuits and sausage gravy and it was absolutely perfect. The gravy had so much flavor and is not the boring bland traditional southern white gravy. I opted for a seasonal omelette and my husband had a seasonal/special waffle so unfortunately we haven't tried anything on their standard menu beyond the biscuits and gravy. But the food was all outstanding. The service was excellent. And at the end of our meal they brought us a chocolate croissant with Happy Anniversary on it! Have been planning our next visit to return with our family since we left. PS- parking is super easy/lot surrounds the building. read more

I went to yoga in the area and my friend wanted to go to brunch. I pulled up my hand dandy yelp and found this place. We drove up and this was a nice little restaurant in downtown Denton. There was a wait, so I ordered a Dirty Chai. It was pretty good but had to add-in additional sugar free syrup. We were seated and I ordered a cranberry mimosa and the croissant sandwich with breakfast potatoes. This was a decent sandwich. I only ate 1/2 of everything. I ended up having it for breakfast next day. If you are looking for a place to have a nice brunch this would be a nice place to eat. read more

We've come here multiple times by now. We just moved here and found this place that has the best fried chicken with waffles. Every time we go our whole family of 5 gets that to eat. First time we came the service was aaaaamazing, she said she was the owner's niece I believe. But after a couple of times after the service definitely went down. One time we came about an hour in a half before closing and the waiter was HORRIBLE. So bad I told my kids we aren't coming back until I forget how horrible he was. It took him 20 minutes just to get us waters and to take our order. Than 50 minutes to get our food!! We even went over the time they close because we barely got our food. Than we waited for the guy to come back so we could box up or leftovers and pay our bill. The guy was no where to be found. We asked someone else to help us, payed and left. Never even seen our waiter again. read more

What a cute place! Perfect for groups, couples, solo visits, families, and even a cozy mother-daughter outing. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the bathroom even has a diaper basket--such a thoughtful touch for parents! I had the potatoes with eggs and bacon--really flavorful and satisfying. I also tried the lavender latte with oat milk--smelled amazing and tasted just as good. My colleague enjoyed the Capers Panini and sweet potato chips--she said both were absolutely delicious. My other colleague had to take her food to go. The only miss for me was the pancake. The first one was undercooked and doughy, but they kindly brought out a better-cooked version. Still, the flavor just wasn't for me. Now I know not to order it again. Tips: Some signs for parking and the entrance would be helpful, since it's located in a residential neighborhood and easy to miss if you're not familiar with the area. The waitress was attentive and delightful! All in all, a charming spot with great food and a thoughtful vibe. I'll definitely be back with friends and family! read more

We came as a party of 8 this morning to celebrate an early Mother's Day. The French country ambience was lovely and our tables were ready the moment we walked in the door. Our server, Kate, was friendly and attentive. She even took our 80 year old mother by the hand and escorted her to the lady's room. But even more amazing, she sought us out and found us in the parking lot because my 19 year old daughter accidentally left a white envelope at her seat with "$100" written on the outside of it, a gift given to her from her grandmother earlier this morning. Kate could've easily kept it and we would have understood and considered it a good life lesson. Kate's integrity, alone, ought to be recognized and commended. Her parents raised a wonderful human being! She is an asset to this establishment, and anywhere else she lands. read more

A Sweet Slice of Parisian Charm in Denton: A Review of L'Amitié Nestled in the heart of Denton, Texas, L'Amitié is the kind of cafe that immediately transports you--from the first whiff of lavender-infused coffee to the soft clatter of vintage cutlery--into a dream of cobblestone streets and cozy brunches abroad. Whether you're planning a girls' morning out or a charming breakfast date, this spot delivers the kind of ambiance that feels equal parts romantic and delightfully Instagram-worthy. On my most recent visit, I opted for their lavender coffee, a fragrant and floral take on the classic morning cup. It was expertly balanced: not too sweet, not too perfumed--just enough to give you a soft sigh of "ooh, that's different" with every sip. It's the kind of coffee that lingers long after your last taste, both in flavor and in memory. For my main, I chose the ham and cheese panini, which arrived warm, melty, and perfectly crisp. The exterior of the bread had that golden crunch you hope for in a panini, while the inside remained tender and full of rich, savory flavor. It was accompanied by herbed potatoes, served hot and seasoned just enough to make you sneak a bite before finishing your sandwich. The vibe of L'Amitié is what truly ties it all together. Think soft pinks, eclectic dishware, cozy lighting, and a background buzz of light-hearted chatter. It's a place that practically begs you to stay for "just one more cup." The staff is friendly and warm, even if occasionally a bit elusive during peak times. A couple of forgotten items were gently forgiven thanks to their kindness and the overall calm, inviting atmosphere. While not every detail was perfect, the overall experience was. L'Amitié isn't about polished, corporate-level precision--it's about thoughtful food, warm coffee, and a setting that makes you want to slow down and be. Final verdict: L'Amitié is a charming, memory-making brunch spot that deserves a visit (or three). Order the lavender coffee--you won't regret it. read more

Oh my gosh. What an amazing restaurant! 6 minutes from UNT in Denton. We started with Toffee Brooke lattes. Best latte ever! I had Mexican breakfast with jalapeño grits. I almost swapped the grits to potatoes but I am glad I didn't. They were absolutely delish. The serving sizes are quite large. My husband would love this place too. The menu is huge and varied.

L'Amitié Bistro is one of our absolute favorites. Julie and I come here whenever we want a spot that feels both quaint and cool -- the kind of atmosphere that instantly slows you down in the best way. The coffee is consistently great, the staff is kind and welcoming, and the whole place has this relaxed charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. It's a small, cozy bistro, so it's always best to reserve ahead of time, especially on weekends. Totally worth planning for. Every visit feels like a treat. Highly recommend. read more

Nice little brunch place! No one could tell me if we could bring our own bubbles though so that's an issue. BYOB doesn't require a license and I would like the option to bring my own. However, this was our first time here AND it was pretty good! We ordered a strawberry shortcake Belgian waffle for the table. My hubby and our friend ordered omelets. I had already had eggs that morning so I opted for the lunch, grilled chicken on a great Caesar wedge with romaine lettuce. The waffle was the hit of the table! Homemade strawberry cream cheese smack in the middle of a giant waffle with fresh berries. Next time, I'd ask for the waffle to be crispy, it was soft. Either way, it's delicious! Go there, get some. Life is too short for boring food! This is a very decent option in little D - away from the bustle of other places. You'll like it! read more

We are pretty patient but dang this place has the worst customer service we've experienced in a long time. One disaster after another today made it really bad. Told half hour wait, after an hour I asked what's up and they sat us right away. Multiple tables open. Constantly told that the large parties were being taken care of before ours. Drinks never came out. Had to ask for them when food came out. No silverware. You name it, they jacked it up. It's a shame because food was decent. read more

It was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday morning brunch. Since we had a party of 5, we made reservations but didn't seem to need them. It's a cute little place and the service was nice. Lots of french-inspired brunch and lunch options and lattes. The Sweet Julia was much sweeter than I expected and that is coming from somebody that likes sweet. I had ordered the toffee latte but they were out of the ingredients needed to make it. The ham, egg and cheese croissant was ok but was honestly very salty. I couldn't eat much of it because of that. The breakfast potatoes were standard, nothing special. Others in my party really enjoyed the Belgian waffles so maybe consider those instead. Clean cafe. read more

The food and ambiance here was actually good, but unfortunately the service completely RUINED the experience. My food came out cold like it had been sitting out for a whole, and my drink didn't even arrive until my meal did. Our server (a girl with curly hair and glasses) never checked on us once during the entire visit. We had to flag down 3-4 different employees just to get her attention and eventually to get our check. We understand when restaurants are busy -- that's not the issue. The problem was the lack of attention and basic service. It felt like we were ignored the whole time, and it honestly left us feeling upset. It's a shame because the food was enjoyable, but the server truly ruined it for us. read more

It's a very cute place! I'm reviewing it within its first week, so let's assume some of the kinks are still being worked out. It's not at all clear what to do when you walk in, so I'll let ya know: walk toward the noise, order at the counter, then find your table. We actually weren't sure what to do so we ordered coffee first, sat down, and then went back to the counter to order. Coffee: Drip coffee is self-serve, so you can get refills whenever you want! There's only one coffee option and it's also okay, nothing impressive. The cappuccino was good, though milk options are limited. Never thought I would say this, but let's talk about syrup! They don't give you any with pancakes and waffles so be ware! Ask for syrup. Or, if you're daring, you can try what they do give you, which is a melted-butter-maple-syrup blend. We aren't sure what this place "French." But if you're expecting croissants I have bad news for you. They don't have 'em. The biscuits and gravy were yummy! The breakfast Americana is good, but not great. Pancakes and waffles are pretty standard. Breakfast paninis have great options but are kind of dry. Parking is the same as it has been for every place in this spot. Get here early, get lucky, or good luck! I think the noise level was the most problematic aspect of the entire experience. The music is loud, and they have done nothing to dampen sound in the big, open, loud space. We couldn't hear each other and it was kind of overwhelming. The people who work here are all super nice! Very helpful, happy to grab you something, and always ready to refill your water. We will come back, only because the counter service and self-serve coffee eliminate so many of the headaches of the service issues at most breakfast spots. Plus always want to give new places a second shot! read more

This is a delightful place for brunch or lunch. I have really enjoyed it more than once!

My friend and I came here for lunch and loved the lovely atmosphere. L'Amitie is a cozy converted house that has plenty of seating inside and a beautiful spot to take pictures. I ordered a couple of sides, the grits, a biscuit, chai latte and scrambled egg. They have a bakery with goodies to take with you. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and delivered our food quickly. They had lovely fruit jam for my biscuit and hot sauce for my scrambled egg. The grits were cheesy, creamy goodness. The chai tea was delicious, sweet and paired well with my sides. I picked up a chocolate chip cookie from the bakery which was huge, dense and delicious. The prices are reasonable and the servers were sweet and offered to take pictures of us by their colorful wall. read more

This is a cozy and well-decorated breakfast venue with a delicious coffee menu. I've had the Julie latte, and the pumpkin spice latte was also very good, as per my discerning companion. The stuffed French toast was phenomenal and worth the wait. My companion had the Reuben (a substitute for the Caprese due to a basil shortage) and enjoyed the heck out of it. The staff were friendly.

2nd time dining at this restaurant this week. Very disappointed. First visit early in the week, earlier in the morning, the omelet was delicious, fluffy, just really good, sausage gravy was obviously scratch made. Entire meal very good. This morning the omelet was rubbery flat, not good at all, the gravy didn't taste as good, it had huge chunks of sausage, the grits also had a strange taste, almost chemical, and there was nothing dirty about the dirty chai, it tasted more like a glass of milk. Maybe a different cook?? Not sure, they were very busy, but consistency will make or break a restaurant. I was excited to take family there to my new find, but that won't happen. $36.00 later I left almost the entire meal on the table. Service was good, great ambiance. Sat outside, very nice area. read more
