Either have a reservation or a backup plan because this place is busy! I sat at one of the last tables available on a Friday at 3:45. It's worth it though. It so charming inside and the food was stellar. The steak tartare was flavorful and tender and the gnocchi was just delicious. Perfect fluffy texture to offset the rich parmesan sauce and the bread with both was the perfect crusty chewy. I will absolutely be back. read more

One of my favourite restaurants in Carmel - love the food and the design of the interior. The food was flavorful and we all ended up ordering the same three dishes, all of which were enjoyed by us. The dessert was too big for one person, but we were warned! You will need to book this place far in advance otherwise you will be disappointed. read more

We were just walking around, and inexplicably the host was able to squeeze us in, without a reservation in this bustling place. We were impromptu celebrating my wife's new watch. Although it was cold outside, the inside was nice and warm. Although it was packed, it was not excessively noisy. Our waiter was quick and polite and charming. The food arrived quickly, and was fantastic. First off, we had a tough time picking what to have. We just wanted everything on the menu. Gnocchi were tender and fluffy, with rich cheesy sauce. The mushroom pizza was loaded with cheese and mushroom umami. The steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The starters were creative and tasty. Will try to be back, though next time probably will make a reservation ahead of time. read more

La Bicyclette has the best steak I have ever had. I LOVE peppercorn sauce and theirs is perfect. Steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce just topped it off. We were also able to get seated without a reservation right when they opened. We got there before they opened probably about 15-20 minutes early and were 2nd or 3rd in line. Amazing service, amazing wine, and amazing food. read more

This gem never disappoints!! Went there this last weekend with my boyfriend. We were in Carmel for a bday getaway. I try to make it a point to visit La Bicyclette whenever I'm in town. It was my boyfriend's first time so it was especially fun to go with someone who hadn't been before. He fell in love with it immediately. The decor of the place is simple but classy, the place is always slammed (that should speak for itself)z We split the oysters, the mushroom pizza and a bottle of rose'. Perfect combo...really hit the spot! We also enjoyed brief lil chats with our server Britney. We wish her well in law school & all her future endeavors read more

Located on the corner of 7th & Dolores, is La Bicyclette. They asked if we had reservations we didn't but they allowed us to walk in as long as we were out by 12:30. The service is kind of slow. The restaurant is old French/Italian. It was very warm inside the restaurant. The pizza was very blasé. The Gnocchi was probably my best dish I ate at a restaurant in months! Super pillowy and cooked perfectly. The gnocchi just melt in your mouth! The sauce was super rich and so delicious. You could literally drink it. Love that it came with a little bread to dip. I just wish there was even more gnocchi! The mousse was very good, too! Extremely rich, perfectly whipped, chocolate heaven. My Latte seemed weak and watery. *The Gnocchi saved the review from being a 3 star* read more

Our experience started a little sour when the host at the front gave us a judgey little look and sat us hidden off in the cubby. But the second our waitress came over, my grievances with the service absolved as she was incredibly welcoming and on top of her game. The host should be very grateful she was working that day. Regardless, the food is absolutely immaculate. The Steak was juicy and perfectly cooked, and my mouth is watering just typing this out. The Truffle Pizza was balanced and scrumptious; a great meal for everyone who loves to get a little crazy with mushrooms. The star of the entire meal was their Gnocchi that had me riding on Cloud 9 the entire meal. The parmesan sauce, oh my goodness, I could just slurp that up with a straw maybe even two straws. We ended the delectable meal with a big serving of chocolate mousse, and that was rich and decadent and really ended off our meal on a high note. If you are looking to have a nice dinner out in Carmel, California, this place is a great option. Just be weary of judgy hosts. read more

We got lucky with no Reservations . We were told we could sit but had to out in 90 minutes. NO Problem Its a small restaurant with a limited menu The waiter was terrific with good suggestions and efficient-because we had to be out in 90 minutes! Anyways my wife got the Halibut which was outstanding . Perfect, not fishy, with leeks, small potatoes and edamame. Fantastic tasty sauce light not heavy. My pizza was delicious 50-50 Margherita and pepperoni. Its the only two pizzas you are allowed to combine in a 50/50 due to the red sauce. This was also delicious. No dessert as this was a filling lunch . We would totally go back. read more

I wanted to love La Bicyclette from the moment my wife decided we'd try to get in for our big Saturday night dinner over our just-the-two-of-us Carmel-By-The-Sea getaway weekend away from real life in the Bay Area. But wow they made it so hard to get a reservation, or to even ask for one. She must have called between a half dozen and a dozen times and each time the outgoing message said to call back during off-peak times when the restaurant was less busy. But then every time she'd call back nobody would answer. Finally she called the concierge at the La Playa Hotel for help. They got through but reported back that we could only do dinner on that preferred night before 4 pm or after 9 pm. Nope - that wasn't going to work. So we pivoted to lunch instead at La Bicyclette and found an open spot for dinner somewhere else (as recommended by the same concierge, which did turn out to be excellent, thankfully). For our lunch at La Bicyclette, I started with the special Vegetable Minestrone soup and for my entree I went with the Autumn Salad. I normally don't do salads as an entree but wanted to keep things light given our early-ish dinner reservation happening later somewhere else. The salad was excellent with lots of crunch, cheese and unfamiliar but wonderful fruits and other unexpected goodies. My wife went for the cheese & charcuterie plate which was lovely too. The restaurant was very cute but we were sat right at the exit doorway which was annoying, especially when the windy day brought things inside - including other guests prone to bumping into us. I'm all for jamming as many tables as possible into the restaurant but after fighting so hard for the reservation it was deflating to be crowded into a less desirable table. The presumed namesake bicycle is also displayed over the bathroom in the back of the restaurant. Maybe once again my expectations were too high but I thought it would be an old classic-looking vintage bike but this one looked aged but still like it could have come out of any random boomer's garage. It is cool to name your place after a bike but maybe glam it up a little bit. We liked La Bicyclette and the food was very good but the overall experience was stressful and I'm not sure it was worth all the fuss. read more

It was challenging getting through their phone line for reservations as it kept instructing me to call during non-peak hours. I tried 3 different times of the day during the week and finally got thru to make a reservation for a Wednesday at 5pm. The food, service, and ambiance were lovely. We had the winter citrus salad and we loved it. The yuzu vinaigrette with a touch of soy sauce is so yummy. Hubby had a mushroom pizza and I had the halibut special with grilled fennel and spinach. Both divine. We ended with the beignet with ice cream and caramel sauce. It's my husband's favorite dessert now. Excellent all around. read more

A great place to eat for any meal. This visit, we had breakfast. The avocado toast was good, yet was a bit difficult to eat. Too many toppings to pick up, and the bread's crust was challenging to cut through. His French toast was delicious. read more

Have been twice (this Spring and four years ago) and had two outstanding meals. Lunch is not a strict time here, so it was especially helpful the first time we arrived in the middle of the afternoon. A sprawling yet cozy bistro, La Bicyclette is worth the bit of effort required to make a reservation. The front room is quaint with a quirky floorpan housing tables and chairs. Hidden are a couple of booths behind curtains -- good luck grabbing one of those. Maybe with enough planning... Try anything here. The combination of fresh ingredients and kitchen wizardry will likely make you smile or groan with pleasure. Appetizers: the wood-fired mushroom caps (Champignons Provençal) are substantial and satisfying (w Pernod, hazelnut-garlic butter, parsley). The charcuterie plate is also wonderful. Pasta: Parisian Gnocchi (House-made spinach gnocchi baked in parmesan cream sauce) Simple, robust, tantalizing. The pizzas are wonderful. Great to share, and perfectly crisp and chewy. Can vouch for Andrew Molera (Artichoke, garlic confit, Manchego cheese, goat cheese, piston, pumpkin sees, watercress, saga) and also the Margherita. The salads are imaginative and luscious. Loved the Salade de Betterraves (beets, goat cheese with coconut, oranges, candied walnuts, champagne vinaigrette) Surely good for your heart as well as your tastebuds. The desserts -- well, come ON. You've made it this far. I love their profiteroles. Lastly, the wine list gives you plenty of great options - bottle or by the glass. Such joyous, effortless professionalism is everywhere here. Nobody is trying to show off. They simply know what they are doing -- from servers to chefs. read more

We celebrated my daughter's birthday here yesterday and I'm afraid it was a decidedly mixed experience. I'm pretty sure I won't come back. First, this restaurant is very expensive and deserves another dollar sign in its description. $12 for a basket of bread. Appetizers that cost as much as entrees at other restaurants. It's plainly brutal. And though the food was generally good, there were some clear misses. The chicken dish (the most affordable entree) was so deeply over salted it burned all the way down for the two table mates who selected that. My dish - the fish -- was delicious and adventurous, which its pairings of vegetables and curry seasoning. It was quite good. Perhaps the top selection was the Gnocci appetizer - which was fabulous. We did point out the seasoning issue to our waiter and suggested that he might want to alert the chef, since both of them that were delivered to our table were on fire with too much salt. However, he seemed fairly indifferent and didn't really attempt to make it right in any way - something quite unacceptable for a restaurant of that price point. The building the restaurant is in is quite cute and quaint - but they literally had us packed in there like the sardines Monterey was famous for. We had to all get up to allow anyone to pass. They're clearly trying to serve lots of folks, but it really isn't working that well. When time for dessert came around, we all looked at each other and said "Yeah, let's go somewhere else." I doubt we'll come back. At this kind of price point, everything has to be great. Some things were, some weren't - and they really weren't interested in hearing about the things that weren't. So I'm thinking that maybe for your special meal you might consider another restaurant. read more

Safe option in downtown Carmel for a beach break pizza and apps. Could get crowded despite plenty window seats, but quite spacious and has bar seating. Service was sweet and unpretentious. Would have been 5 stars before the chef left, which was years ago, and took the Carmel Burger with him! The gnocchi plate is a must; cheese is creamy and hits the spot without too much grease. The mushroom pizza used to taste fresher and flavorful but still better than what you'd typically get in South Bay. read more

The food is nothing special and honestly not worth dealing with the attitude from the staff. It completely ruins the whole experience. I put my name down for a table and was told it would be about a 2 hour wait. Fine. But the way I was treated when I gave my name already felt rude and dismissive. We ended up leaving and going to eat somewhere else while we waited. During that time, they kept calling me over and over again until I finally picked up and told them we weren't coming back because we were already at another restaurant. No apology, no understanding, nothing. Just silence and then they hung up. Completely unprofessional. And honestly just frustrating all around. read more

Absolutely the worse restaurant I have ever been to. Where do I start? Total ripoff, they bring food to your table based on how you look rather than treating everyone equally. We were dressed casually just to be comfortable and we felt the prejudice! Food. Hmmm. Nothing special and overpriced. Attitude. Zero. What a shame . Such beautiful town but a horrible waste of space. I regret spending mile precious time and money there. read more

I rearranged my travel itinerary around the only remaining available reservation for La Bicyclette when we were in town. Between all the restaurants we tried in Carmel (and even Napa over the years) this is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. It's a small restaurant and you are not overlooking a vineyard or the ocean but I'm here to talk to you about the food. I view restaurants like children, as you are not supposed to choose a favorite because it feels morally wrong to do so, but this restaurant wins and if you eat here you will know why and I'm not even going to try to explain it. read more

We came to this place because it smelled amazing from the street! My husband and I came in on a Weds around 5 pm and felt lucky to get a table because the hostess had let us know a couple days before they were fully booked but we didn't have a hard time finding a table. So recommend trying to get a reservation if you can. We weren't too hungry but we just wanted to try it because it smelled amazing. The gnocchi were so good!!!! They were very fluffy and soft and the flavor was amazing. I also loved the bread that it came with. The escargot were good but nothing spectacular. I wish i had tried the mushroom pizza instead to be honest, we heard great things about it. I would definitely come back here and try their other food though. read more

Every time I went to Carmel I wanted to go to La Bicyclette but I could never get in. Finally I made reservations and I had an opportunity. Needless to say was very exited. I did not like it as much as I thought I would. The atmosphere and the service were really good. I liked the mushroom appetizer and the salad. The steak was chewy and the pizza was very greasy. Their panna cotta was delicious. But over all as disappointed because it's pretty expensive restaurant and it's highly regarded but I definitely had better. read more

We made a lunch reservation and got checked in quite easily. I suggest you make a reservation because it filled up pretty quickly, and it was a Monday. The moment I walked in I was captivated by the charming decor. Our server Augustine was fantastic from beginning to end. He was friendly and attentive. The food had amazing flavor and came out nice and hot. We had such a wonderful experience and it was the perfect lunch in Carmel. Cannot wait to come back here for dinner!! read more

Some of the best wood-fire pizzas I've ever had. Service: I visited La Bicylette on a Tuesday for a dinner before sunset as a walk-in, and my party of three did not have to wait long before being seated. We actually got pretty lucky with the time that we came because the host did offer us a table with the condition that we had to leave before someone else's reservation time-- which gave us more than 2 hours to dine-in, which wasn't a problem for us! I suggest calling before hand to make reservations to anyone with a bigger party, or are adamant about checking this place out. As soon as we were seated, our waitress was amazing, always checking in and making sure everything was up to par. The only downside of my experience here was that many of the tables and chairs are pretty cramped into a small space, but not so much so that it was completely uncomfortable. Food: My favorite of the three pizzas would have to be the Margherita pizza, with the Basque being a close second. You can tell they're made fresh with fresh ingredients. A great place to check out if you're visiting Carmel! read more

Ordered: - Mushroom pizza (5/5): The pizza had meaty mushrooms and a thinner crust (which I personally love, but ymmv). It was very crispy and crunchy, and I loved how it paired really well with the provided chili oil. In fact I'd go to say that this is my new top mushroom pizza of all time! Fair warning though - the chili oil was very spicy for my girlfriend so test it out before dousing your pizza with it. - Gnocchis parisiens (5/5): perfectly pillowy and not as heavy as we were worried it would be with the cheesy sauce. PAired well with our pizza and rrally showed great creativity. They provided bread with the sauce and it was swfinitely meeded to enjoy all of the sauce goodness - Apple tarte tatin: perfectly cooked and paired so well with the vanilla bean i e cream. It wasnt overly sweet and really let the apples shine through. The crust was also perfeclty flaky and doughy makijg it a delicious way to end the meal Overall (5/5): We made a reservation at 5 back in early October. We had a heavy and late lunch that same day, so we were pleasantly surprised that the dishes were light and not too greasy or heavy. The location was a bit noisy but it didn't bother us too much. Service and food were amazing and we hope to return in the future! I'd love to have the mushroom pizza again. read more

LOVED my experience here! My boyfriend and I came for a date and made a reservation for a Saturday at 12 PM. A reservation is highly recommended because seating is not guaranteed. Parking was a bit difficult to find, especially since it was a weekend. However, we got there on time and were able to be seated right away. We look a long look at the menu (there were so many good options) and finally decided on what to order. Insalata Di Polpo - $26 (5/5): I was hesitant at first because octopus salad?? But I am so glad we decided to get this. First of all, the presentation was 10/10. The octopus was so fresh and had a good bite to the tentacle. The celery salad was so flavorful along with the sauce that was beautifully added on top. We finished every last bit! Champignons Pizza - $26 (5/5): Oh my god, soooo delicious. The mushrooms, the carmelized onions, the cheese. Everything pulled together so nicely. It was the perfect portion size too. Agneau De Printemps - $48 (4/5): This was also pretty good but not my favorite. I really liked the potato dish that it came with! The ambiance of the restaurant was so cutesy and made me feel like I was traveling outside of the country for some lunch. The price was so worth it for the quality of the food and the flavors. If you are on the fence about trying La Bicyclette, let this be your sign to book that reservation! read more

This is a cute restaurant that came highly recommended by a friend. We were back in Carmel unexpectedly and decided to try it. The online info said the restaurant keeps 40% of its tables available for walk-ins, so we arrived a little before 11am. A male hostess greeted us, took our name, and said he'd be back to seat us at 11:00. At 11:00 a female hostess arrived and could not have been ruder to our group and others!! She truly should not be in the service industry!! If the Michelin reviewer had been there, the restaurant would have lost its Michelin recommendation on the spot. Highlights of our meal: the mushroom appetizer was to die for, the chocolate mousse was amazing, our server was sweet and attentive. After our experience with this hostess, I read the reviews and agree with other reviewers who have given poor marks for her behavior in the past. I can't believe this restaurant wants her to be representing them!! Shameful that management allows this to continue!! read more

Would recommend getting a reservation. Walk ins are possible if they have cancellations but it's rare and you'll probably be waiting until their last reservations (around 8:45) no show before getting a call. We ended up going here for lunch and the ambience is cute. It's a bustling spot, the wood capped mushrooms were intensely savory with a side of olive and seed bread that paired well with it. The butter and hazelnut sides to the mushroom were nice to dip the bread in. We had their squash blossom pizza and were initially apprehensive about the anchovies, but it's a well balanced savory pizza with nice notes of peppery and green from the arugula. The wait staff were quite nice and it was a nice dining experience overall! read more

Wow, wow, WOW! Quick service. I was a walk-in for two and got seated right away (call me lucky? IDK). We got the Champignons Provençale and the Basque wood-fired pizza. Let's start with the Champignons Provençale, amazing, for lack of better words. They were hot and steamy, and the hazelnut garlic butter really took it there. Now for the Basque wood-fired pizza, it was too good, especially with the drizzle of hot chili oil provided. YUM! The ambiance was immersive and made it feel like I was in a little European village. Would definitely come back again! read more

We enjoyed our meal here! It's a bit pricey but reasonable for the fresh, high quality ingredients and service. Would definitely check this place out if you're in the area. (1) Reservations - they take reservations over the phone. Would call in advance as they book up fairly quickly. Unfortunately they no longer offered their outdoor seating when we tried in April. (2) Ambiance - Very cute and cozy interior. There is a large stone oven for pizzas. Feels like you've been transported out of California. (3) Food - We especially enjoyed the mushroom pizza and salads, which were reasonably priced. The seafood pasta was meh and even more meh considering the price. Next time would skip the seafood pasta and focus on more starters, including their stuffed mushrooms. (4) Service - Really good service, fitting of a higher end restaurant. read more

We had breakfast/brunch on our last visit so I brought back my family for the gnocchi which everyone loved in the reviews. We did not have reservations at 11:15am but they sat us and let us know we had to be out by 12:30. It's a small place and there were customers but a few empty tables as we left. We ordered the large Gnocchi Parisiens. They are super soft and smooth, no chunks of potato bits and it was not mushy, over cooked. It was served baked in a Parmesan Cream sauce. It is super rich and I'm glad we shared this dish. It was nice it came with two slices of bread to dip in the sauce. We had the Steak Monaco which was served with a peppercorn cognac sauce. The filet mignon was very tender. We ordered it medium rare. It was good. This is my son's signature dish and it wasn't as peppery and the cognac wasn't as strong as his, but this was still a good dish with a nice presentation, with the potato hash, sautéed spinach, wild mushrooms, and melted Gorgonzola dolce. It was more creative with more flavors added. The basque pizza was very interesting and different. The chew on the crust was good. The peppery sauce, onions, sausage, and manchego, made it very different from other pizzas and of course it was baked in a pizza oven. Occasionally, you want a pizza with more pizzazz! The torta Veneziana is great if you like pistachio gelato and mixed berry sauce. I love pot de chocolate and chocolate mousse. This was pot de mousse au chocolate. It's close to the same, the mousse was very smooth and the bits of chocolate was delish. We're paying for ambiance. I had these French chairs in my kitchen years ago. La Bicyclette is a nice place for brunch or lunch. The menu changes so I would make sure something sounds appealing first. They were nice enough to squeeze us in and I wanted to make sure we were out in time so it was a bit of clock watching and not as relaxing for me. read more

I feel like this place was overrated? They are on the Michelin guide. Our server explained they serve French and Italian food. Reservations are highly recommended. I was able to do a walk-in, but it was a 90-minute wait. -Special of the day: risotto. This was ok. -Champignon pizza: lots of mushroom toppings, more than I expected. The bottom of the pizza was too hard, almost like a cracker. -half order of spinach gnocchi: I enjoyed the cheesy creamy sauce very much!! I dipped the pizza crust into it. Half order only comes with 5 gnocchis. The food leaves you wanting more, in the words of my friend May. Parking - free 2-hour street parking around this area. Good luck. If you have reservations or time restrictions, come early just in case. Restroom - go to the left side of the restaurant in the back. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. read more

My friend and I were looking for some great food at a place that wasn't too pretentious, as we were coming from a day of hiking. This is an upscale restaurant with a casual vibe. You can see the woodfired oven from your table, but they have some gourmet items on their menu, and my friend and I did both. We ordered the special appetizer of the day, which was deep fried local chanterelle mushrooms in a harissa sauce and then one of their pizzas with assorted fresh mushrooms with a caramelized onion truffle puree. My friend liked the appetizer, but I wasn't sold on it; however, the pizza was delicious. I would definitely come back for that alone. We also ordered the chocolate mousse dessert, and for me it was too rich, although we brought it to go and added fresh strawberries with it later which helped cut the richness. Service was on point from being seated to the end of our meal. I would definitely recommend this spot if in Carmel. read more

This review honestly pains me to write, because I've been here many times and usually love this place -- especially the Los Angeles location, which has always been amazing. I came in this past Saturday for lunch and had one of the strangest service experiences I've ever had here. There was only one waiter working, and he looked completely overwhelmed. While I understand things get busy, we had to flag him down multiple times just to get our drinks. Meanwhile, the table behind us (a party of six) seemed to get all the attention and was quickly helped with anything they needed. The real issue, though, was the food. I ordered my steak medium rare and received it well done. No problem -- I understand mistakes happen. But when the replacement came out, it looked exactly the same. Still well done. The waiter apologized, but it took a long time for the plate to be cleared, and again, most of his attention went to the larger table behind us. What made this more frustrating was seeing how quickly the larger party was taken care of when something wasn't to their liking. It felt like we were being completely overlooked. I've never had an experience like this here before, so I'm hoping this was just an off day. But it was definitely disappointing -- especially given how much I've enjoyed dining here in the past. read more

As usual the best restaurant in Carmel in my opinion. The food is simply always great and the menu is substantial. They have very freindly people working here all the way around.

I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner at La Bicyclette, based on a friend's recommendation. I was able to be seated immediately without a reservation. The host and waiter were welcoming. The restaurant is cozy and definitely has its own personality. I tried the gnocchis, the swordfish and the apple tarte.

The questionable ratings here have no leg to stand on because every single item we had here was INCREDIBLE. My friend and I made reservations at La Bicyclette literally 3-4 months in advance because we KNEW we had to go on our Labor Day weekend trip. FYI you do have to call for resys but we were able to snag one thankfully. It was completely booked up otherwise so fair warning! We are a group of gluttons so we opted to get every app minus the cauliflower, 3 pizzas, 1 spaghetti, and 1 lamb. Oh and can't forget the 3 desserts :P The salads were fresh, delicious, perfectly seasoned; and the standout dishes were the mushrooms in garlic small plate and the gnocchi which just melted in your mouth. Pizza wise, the mushroom pizza once again won with its truffle and caramelized onion sauce. This place knows how to treat mushrooms 5sure. The other two pizzas, margherita and salumi, were stellar as well. My husband essentially downed the lamb in one go and my friend's husband adored the pasta. All in all, there wasn't a single bite that we disliked and the drinks kept up with the food without issue. Dessert wise we had a tiramisu, the crockpot of mousse for 2, and the apple tart with ice cream. All of them were insane and our friend felt like this was one of the best tiramisus he had ever had. Prices are so fair for the caliber and quality of the food and I would recommend this place to everyone and their families. Service incredibly kind and the interior is so darn cozy and cute. Loved the details like the hanging pans and interesting lights. This should be on your must try list in Carmel for sure. read more

We recently went here for breakfast and it was a very positive experience. Efficient and friendly service. The menu had selections that were hard to decide between. Wood fired oven! Great coffee. And it had a comfortable atmosphere that helped you want to linger and enjoy your food and the person you are with. As we were in line, yes, there is often a line to get in here, I noticed a sticker in the window that said, "3rd Edition: Complete Revised and Updated: The Best Places to Kiss in Northern California."
