Le Bilboquet, Dallas Our go-to restaurant every time we visit uptown, Le Bilboquet did not disappoint on our anniversary. Steak tartare and tomato mozzarella appetizers were delectable. The Cajun chicken with French fries, a favorite at the restaurant, was tender and a bargain at $36. We also enjoyed veal scaloppini and salmon tartare for entrees. Le Bilboquet has a nice wine list, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is warm[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the service professional. We look forward to our next visit. read more

A Dallas staple!! A perfect girls brunch or dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You must sit outside if weather permits - you will feel transported to Europe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent light fare with good service. On this particular occasion, we were not drinking, and the bar crafted incredible cucumber mocktails (albeit slow to make them). Love the complimentary bread and butter for the table. To start, I had the tuna tartare. I shared the Cajun chicken as an entree - this is good and comes with French fries, but definitely ask for extra sauce (our particular chicken was dry). Make sure to tell your waiter if you are celebrating / they brought out a complimentary dessert with a sparkler for our friend.

We tried Le Bilboquet after a friend recommended it. French fare and it was delicious. The menu is good sized, with a variety of options. Try the tuna tartare, it is exceptionally good. The duck was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Great lobster pasta too. Our servers were very friendly and answered all of our questions. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, great Food, nice wine list, and feel good atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You should go. See you there

The atmosphere and ambiance are perfect. You almost feel like you are in Paris. Kind of a pet peeve of mine is that we had early reservations and walked into a near empty restaurant, yet we were seated next to a post. Not a great first impression. I just get tired of restaurants like this who try and fill the worst tables first. I shouldn't have to ask to be seated in the best available table. Service from the bar was noticeably slow. It was also expensive - $28 for a shot of MacAllen 12 on the rock? Multiply that by about 2 and you can have a bottle. Similarly, the wines by the glass seemed too pricey (mid 20s). Nothing from the Bordeaux region by the glass unfortunately. Other than the wait on drinks before and during our meal, service was friendly, helpful and attentive. Began with the country pate and the special gazpacho. The pate was ok, but we should have ordered the foie gras. Similarly, the gazpacho was not bad, but I have had better and would have preferred less oil. Entrees were the highlight, exceptional, and very reasonably priced. The Roasted half chicken was delicious and so perfectly prepared. My wife took half of it home. The Filet au Poivre was also perfectly prepared. The filet was tender, juicy, and had a great flavor. The accompanying fries were crisp and delicious. I highly recommend both of these entrees! In a French restaurant, dessert is a must. My better half chose the crustless apple crisp (cannot recall the name) with a small scoop of ice cream. She loved it. It was fine in my opinion, but I would try another option next time. Note: Valet parking ($7) is not complimentary for lunch or dinner and there really isn't available street parking. Not sure that makes a difference but FYI. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute little place! I came here for brunch on Saturday with some work colleagues. The inside is such a cute little quaint place. You feel like you've been transported to Europe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking in Knox Henderson can be a headache...but there is a valet as well as a parking garage where you can get your parking ticket validated We ordered a crab and avocado salad to share for the table to start and it was delicious and perfect to share between 4 people! I got the Cajun chicken for my entree and it was delicious and flavorful! It is super buttery and heavy so if that's not your thing, I would order something else. Our servers were attentive and knowledgable. We had a wonderful experience. I will definitely be coming back. This is a perfect place for a bridal/baby shower or birthday brunch! read more

Sunday brunch at Le Bilboquet after Highland Park Baculurate. The venue is what I call soft elegance, quaint, with the expected French motif. We selected tuna tartare and smoked salmon for appetizers. We enjoyed both, but I thought the smoked salmon was the better of the two. For our mains, Jan ordered the Cajun chicken, which was delicious. I had eggs Le Bilboquet or in simpler terms, biscuits and gravey with eggs. The gravey was made with duck confit. It was good and the presentation was nice. I equate good with OK, and I was hopping for better than OK. In summary, it's a nice upscale restaurant. The seating is a bit tight and it's mild noisy. The service was excellent. read more

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Le Bilboquet for a weekend brunch with some girlfriends! A few things to keep in mind for your visit: Be sure to make a reservation in advance as it tends to get pretty busy. Parking is valet only but as it is in Knox Henderson finding other parking shouldn't be an issue! The food was absolutely incredible. The meal started with the fluffiest bread with the most delicious, yet simple bread. I got a regular latte, and while unfortunately they don't have any syrups to spicy up the drinks, the latte itself was all good. I got the Cajun Chicken and I would 12/10 go back just to get it again. The cream sauce with the chicken was an absolute delight to eat! The decor is very minimal but quite tasteful and elegant. Definitely a fancier brunch experience but treat yourself! I am definitely looking forward to going back! read more

My family and friends celebrate Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and all of our birthdays at Le Bilboquet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is beautiful fun also garden room perfect for birthday parties, baby shower showers, bridal shower, etc. Let's not forget the patio with BEAUTIFUL windows that open up to enjoy the perfect weather[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Service impeccable. The owner managers and staff know your name and greet you at the door . No matter how many times you've been to that restaurant. The food. Every single item on the menu is delicious and cooked to perfection. Oh and their french fries come in a big bowl and they're crispy and warm. Their butter is fantastic and the rolls are too. Let's get serious. The Brunch #1 in Dallas! Now that's a big statement I agree. However, if you've already, been to brunch then definitely agree. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, for those that have not had the amazing food atmosphere and fun vibe. There's no better place simple as that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The menu is very simple. I am vegan and I was not going to get anything but the waiter was SO NICE! He had the chef make an off-menu vegan dish just for me. It was simple roasted vegetables and oil but it was literally the best vegetables I've ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very romantic setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never ran out of water as well which is always a plus. read more

Oh La Bilboquet...where have you been all my life? This is the quintessential "ladies who lunch" place, but certainly not limited to that demographic. The lunch menu is interesting and varied. I love it when there are so many good options that it is hard to make a decision. We started with the escargot and the were garlic-y and tasty! I had the trout with green beans and it was so, so good. My mom had the chicken paillard and it was equally as wonderful. My mom was post-surgery and I had to return to work...we stuck to iced tea, but this is definitely a place for a long lunch and a glass wine. Next time! read more

Beautiful Ambience! Roses on white tablecloths. Gentle breeze through their opened windows. Dressed to the nines doesn't feel out of place. Soft Flavors!

Yet, when there are big parties in place, it's extremely slow. CHEERS! read more

Great service! We had meetings early the next day, so we didn't order drinks. But the glasses always remained full without ever having to ask. Our server heard me mention my girlfriend's birthday and went the extra mile by putting a sparkler on the dessert - very nice touch! Entrées seemed pricey but the quality was excellent. I had the duck, which was more than enough for me. The chef did a superb job of pairing the vegetables with the duck so each combination was a great flavor - excellent meal! read more

Excellent spot for patio dinner, the Cajun chicken was a hit with our group, and the moules frites serve as a great appetizer.

Enjoyed Sunday brunch with girlfriends. Service and food were excellent! We were seated in the last table on the enclosed patio and since it was such a hot summer day, they provided individual fans to each of us positioned in front of our personal place settings. It kept the meal cool and pleasant. I enjoyed the chicken paillard with arugula, sundried tomatoes and shaved parmesan on top. It was quite a flavorful dish! Servers were on point meeting our needs. I would like to give 5 stars, but I had no sense of the restaurant's ambiance since I was last to join our group and seated with my back to the rest of the patio and restaurant. It was very crowded when we got up to leave so all I could tell was that the restaurant was small. Would definitely like to try again and perhaps not sit on the patio next time. Valet parking was easy and $5 on a Sunday. read more

This restaurant exceeded all my expectations and it was amazing! Highly recommend. I went for lunch but I would assume all their meals are great. I had the cajun chicken lunch. It came with fries and a side salad. It was very reasonably priced and was absolutely delicious. All of the staff were so pleasant and helpful. The location is great. There is plenty of free parking across the street or in the garage. They also have a valet that is reasonable. read more

Wonderful service and exquisite food...this gorgeous restaurant is in Knox Henderson. With valet parking for $5 - don't waste your time searching for a parking spot.

Delicious food with exquisite service and a breath taking atmosphere. Starting with the hostess (Dez), then the amazing server (Patrick) the meal was amazing. The smoked salmon appetizer was "chef's kiss", the eggs were perfectly cooked and to end it all with probably the best lemon tart I have ever had was a delight! Oh and the crème brûlée was top notch as well! Will be returning soon and this restaurant will be on our top five for places to dine at read more

In the labyrinthine heart of Knox/Henderson lies Le Bilboquet, an emblematic bastion of French gastronomy that beckons those with discerning palates and deep pockets. This lively establishment, bedecked with the aristocracy of neighboring Highland Park, offers a symphony of flavors that, while not scaling the summit of culinary brilliance, still manages to entice the taste buds with its expertly-crafted dishes. Prepare your wallet for a fiscally harrowing expedition, as Le Bilboquet commands top dollar for its gourmet fare. The appetizers, priced between $16 and $30, serve as a harbinger of the financial tempest to come. It's a wonder the restaurant doesn't require an advance deposit to sample the hybrid Petrossian caviar dish, tagged at a staggering $460. Ah, the joys of dining in the realm of the haute bourgeoisie! But let us not allow the pecuniary tribulations to overshadow the culinary offerings. The foie gras, a celestial blend of decadence and pangs of conscience, arrives with an air of self-assured grandeur. Its buttery richness dances on the tongue, leaving one simultaneously intoxicated and guilt-ridden. For the goat cheese aficionado, the standout starter unveils itself as a revelation of tangy delight. Its creamy texture is tempered by the sharp bite of goat's milk, creating a harmonious yin and yang on the palate. This cheese, a testament to the dedication of the fromager, evokes the bucolic charms of a sun-drenched French countryside. The mains, regally ranging from $38 to over $65, present a procession of flavors that, while not mind-bending, manage to captivate the discerning connoisseur's senses. The dover sole is prepared with a deft hand. Its tender flesh yields effortlessly, surrendering to the diner's eager fork in a balance of flavors that sings a melodious wild-caught ode to the bounty of the ocean. Meanwhile, the filet au poivre, a quintessential French classic, pays homage to the glories of bovine indulgence. The tender beef, adorned with a peppercorn symphony, invites the senses on an aromatic expedition. Each bite, a testament to the skilled hands in the kitchen, elicits a chorus of gustatory delight. As the culinary charade unfolds, the service at Le Bilboquet shines like a guiding star. The staff, embodying the spirit of refined hospitality, exude an air of attentive kindness. They piroeutte nimbly between tables, ensuring every diner's needs are met with grace and precision. It is a delicate ballet of service, leaving one feeling both pampered and indebted. The ambiance here is elegant yet just frenetic enough to be interesting. When the nicer weather hits there is abundant al fresco seating available. In the realm of Le Bilboquet, where French culinary traditions intermingle with the deep pockets of Big D's most privileged, one encounters a gastronomic sojourn that, while not yielding profound revelations, delivers an overall delightful experience. Indulge, but beware the cost. For in this enclave of culinary grandeur, every distinctive bite comes with a price that may induce an existential crisis. read more

Impeccable everything. The attention they give each dish is above and beyond. They had a cassoulet special that was wonderful. Duck Confit. House made sausage. Braised smoked pork belly. Every ingredient was allowed to shine. Don't skip the appetizers either. The asparagus with dijonnaise and shaved egg was blanched and dressed perfectly, and the mushroom risotto is the platonic ideal, accented with generous shavings of sharp pungent cheese. We also had the veal scallopini and the house-made Angel hair with lobster (lightly sauced with lemon and white wine- another absolute hit). The wine list is also, like everything else, superb. If you're out to impress, this is a great experience. read more

Never Again. Awful hot day and the AC barely working. Older couple seated near us almost sick from the heat. My food was ok, crab and avocado salad and lobster pasta; however my wife's halibut had an awful pungent smell that made me almost gag. We passed on the dessert menu so we could get home and cool down. Dinner ruined by the heat, flies and smell. Save your time and money and go to one of the other great restaurants in the area: Toulouse, Origin, Doce Mesas or Sachet. read more

Le Bilboquet is our favorite special event spot. At the base of Highland Park, it is lovely and inviting. The staff is so kind, friendly and accommodating. Our wine and food were fabulous. The weather was so lovely, they had all the windows open, as an open-air restaurant. I'm so sad I forgot our server's name, as she was super sweet and helpful. We loved her. We went to celebrate my daughter's birthday and the whole team made us feel very special. We highly recommend Le Bilboquet! read more

This is a long review because there was a lot to like about this place. Our group meets once a month to try different places for brunch and we have high expectations. 1. First thing is the location. Knox street is one of the most walkable and dense neighborhoods in Dallas. So you got to have valet parking and Le Bilboquet has valet parking. Nuff said. 2. We are always a party of six , so the place must be able to accommodate our size. Upon arrival we saw 4 tables with parties our size or larger which is another plus. 3. Sunday brunches are generally a female focus hour since many guys are watching football. This place was no exception. 4. This is a bistro style restaurant, kind of small with a welcoming patio. The wall where we were seated has a folding window that opens onto the outside patio so this place is quite pretty. The focus of this place is on their food. Their bar is quite small. 5. I picked this place because I reviewed the menu and knew everyone in our group would like it. The prices were very competitive with other places we have been to for brunch. Average price is about $25 pp without liquor. 6. Everyone ordered something different on the menu from pancakes, French toast , eggs Benedict, avocado and crab salad , etc. The salad needed some greenery but the waiter brought a house salad to complement it. The big things is that everyone said they would order their food again based on the quality and quantity. 7. I rated our service a "10". Our waiter was attentive and responsive and he had a couple of other tables to manage. 8. I forgot to mention that they provided us a large chocolate mousse dessert to share because they thought we were celebrating something based upon the reservation comments. It was delicious. We might come back to this place sooner than expected but we have a lot more Sunday brunch places to check out. read more

Nothing really to write about. Cute little place but the food was just meh! Date night wasn't a success. Similar to small bistros you see in Paris as it was cozy, but food did not meet our expectations. We may try them for brunch and might change our review at a later date. read more

Lovely little spot. Parking lot across the street with plenty of parking spots. The hostess, I believe, is also the owner and she is French. Loved her accent. The food was beautifully plated and wonderful French traditional cuisine. There's a little side patio that is enclosed and is the perfect spot for great conversation and people watching. read more

The food, service and vibe at Le Bilboquet is completely on point. Our server Ameer was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great suggestions for every course of the meal. For Appetizers we tried the warm goat cheese salad and the Salmon tartare. Both were above expectations! For entrees I had the Dover sole and my date had the rack of lamb. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the fish was mild and flavorful. We met the bartender Edgar and he was more than happy to prepare us handcrafted cocktails. We asked him to surprise us and we ended up with a Mezcal cocktail that was 10/10. The GM Kaveh checked on us twice and it's obvious he's running a veteran crew that knows what they're doing. We'll be back for sure! read more

I came for brunch here on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 8. The restaurant definitely reminds me of a French establishment with the decor being white and bright and even the style of chairs. The hostess greeted me and showed me to our table. Our group was smooshed into a corner table and it was uncomfortable. I thought to complain but after looking around I saw everyone was smooshed somewhere. The wait staff were squeezing in between tables and chairs. They need to take out at least three tables for the comfort of the guests. For drinks I got a Bellini and it was not memorable. So nothing to report there. I ordered the French toast and it comes with fruit and marscapone creme and a little bit of syrup. The French toast was really fluffy and had crispy edges. The flavor of custard they used was really good and not too sweet. Overall it was an average meal. Nothing bad and nothing outstanding. read more
