Ohh La Boulangerie, what can I say but delicious. A cute spot on Broadway in downtown San Antonio…read more Sylvie the owner is originally from Western France and moved close to Paris then came to San Antonio. Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy! And for those in Austin...they opened a second location in Austin West lake area.

The gentleman at the counter went above and beyond--he walked us through the menu, explained the specials, and made sure we understood how their counter service worked without making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. It's rare to find that kind of genuine, attentive service these days, and it truly stood out. On top of that, the food and drinks were just as impressive--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you'd hope for from a great breakfast spot. This place gets it right on all fronts: warm hospitality, clear communication, and delicious offerings. We'll absolutely be back!

Recommend it if you have a small group that can fit. All the staff we encountered was amazing. Even the ones we didn't directly deal with seemed nice and pleasant towards the guests they were serving. Food was great! The iced coffee late is VERY strong but amazing. If you are a coffee lover this one is for you! It is on the sweet side though. Also got the chicken and beignets to go so no photo but it was also good. The omelette is good but very rich! Shrimp and fries were also good. Also don't skip out on trying their homemade sauce.

The Chicken & Beignets were definitely the star of the show--absolutely outstanding! The chicken was tender, flavorful, and juicy, while the beignets were perfectly sweet, fluffy, and delicious. The Pancake Flight was also super yummy if you're craving something sweet! The variety was fun, but the Bananas Foster pancake was definitely our favorite. The only downsides were the matcha, which unfortunately tasted mostly like milk, and the service. Our server was a little difficult to track down, and we had to wait a while before being greeted and getting our order in. Overall, the food was delicious and there were definitely some standout dishes! I'd come back for the Chicken & Beignets alone.

A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

But From their snacks to their smoothies and food everything is good. I loved the sunset blend smoothie!! It was so good, as was the chagachino! Unique and super good. The avocado toast was my least favorite cause the toast was a little too toasted.. The lentil walnut taco was surprisingly good and they're a good size! I've also tried their goat cheese and bean tamale which was good and a little spicy. The more power to you bowl was more spinach heavy than I expected but nice. The Mother Earth seed bar was yummy too.

The brisket roll was good and not greasy with a well spiced wasabi ranch. Krab roll is popular but wasn't as good as I expected.

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different.

They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert! We shared a large slice of butter pie and ice cream. Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!
