    Cajun Chicken
    Sarah L.

    A Dallas staple!! A perfect girls brunch or dinner. You must sit outside if weather permits - you will feel transported to Europe. 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. Losing a star due to construction in the area...hard to sit at dinner and stare at an office building construction site!

    Tuna Tartar is amazing.
    Mike S.

    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.

    Filet Au Poivre
    John J.

    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.

    latte
    Aditi R.

    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!

    We stopped in the middle of the afternoon for a late lunch. Service was exceptional and the food was amazing. We plan to come back for a date night.

    Beautiful Roses
    Jennifer Y.

    Beautiful Ambience! Roses on white tablecloths. Gentle breeze through their opened windows. Dressed to the nines doesn't feel out of place. Soft Flavors! Including all the lunches and brunches tried; this time, perfectly poached were my eggs in a gentle tomato sauce was my "Shakshuka". Pleasant Service! Usually impeccable attentions given. Yet, when there are big parties in place, it's extremely slow. CHEERS!

    My date and I had an incredible experience at St. Martin's Wine Bistro…read more The ambiance sets the tone immediately. It's dark, moody, and effortlessly romantic, with a live pianist playing throughout the evening. It's the kind of place that feels intimate without being stuffy, perfect for a date night. The service was honestly some of the best I've had in Dallas. My water never dropped below two sips from full, the team was that attentive. It became amusing (in the best way) how on top of everything they were. Our waiter, Rene, was outstanding. He provided stellar recommendations from starters to entrées, drinks, and desserts. I trusted him enough to let him choose my glass of wine to follow my cocktail, and he nailed it. He also walked us through the menu in detail, which was incredibly helpful as first-time guests. The food absolutely delivered: * Shrimp St. Martins - Five jumbo de-veined shrimp in a rich, butter-like sauce that was decadent without being overwhelming. * Frisée Aux Lardon Salad - Rene thoughtfully split this tableside and served it onto individual plates. The dressing leans heavily Dijon-forward, so order accordingly if you're not a mustard fan. That said, the bacon was some of the best I've ever had: thick, slightly sweet, and perfectly cooked. * Sea Bass Ratatouille - Served over a tomato sauce, it was flavorful, well-balanced, and not too heavy. * Rack of Lamb - An extremely generous portion (which I happily helped my date finish). It was boldly seasoned and on the saltier side, which I personally loved, though I understand that may not be for everyone. * Affogato - A simple but perfect way to close out the meal. Between the romantic atmosphere, top-tier service, and excellent food, this is easily one of the better dining experiences I've had in Dallas.

Apparently it's a Dallas staple restaurant, having been around for more than 44 years, but it is now in a new location as of 2024. Starting from the moment you walk in you are enveloped in a very moody romantic French bistro. Just inside the front door you are greeted by the hostess. There's also a live piano player who plays live music at just the right volume. Tables are covered in white tablecloths with glowing candles. The booths are especially cozy! If you are looking for a romantic dinner spot this is your spot! The service here is on par and the food delicious! This particular night we started with the caviar service, then moved on to the mixed green salad. After that, honestly I was full so I just had Lobster Bisque for dinner while my husband had the lamb. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, but were too full to move onto dessert, maybe next time!

Our group of 6 got there at 5:30, 15 mins early for our reservation, prior to the large crowd about to come in for the concert that night. It took 30 minutes to put 5 martinis on the table. Our food did not come out until 7:30 - almost 2 hours after sitting down. Tables around us were served before we were and finished and left before our food came out. Not once did a manager or our server George come check on us or tell us there was an issue. Every meal that we received was cold, but we had no other choice but to eat it due to how long it took and making it to the concert by 8PM. This was the night of the Andrea Borcelli concert and the restaurant was full. Management should have prepared for a busy night. My party was so excited to eat in the Polar Bear room and head to the concert. How does a Michelin star restaurant let this happen and then force us to pay 20% gratuity? I was a server for 10 years and I would never let this type of experience happen to a party paying $100 a person in food and drinks. This was hands down the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Management - you need to really work on your guest service and experience. Such a disappointment.

Our waiter said they turned over 300 tables which is amazing for a smaller dining area. Only the fixed price menu is available on Valentine's Day. Bummer, no soufflé option. Our appetizers, mushroom soup and St. Jacques (seafood with puffed pastry top) were delicious! Unfortunately our sole with crabmeat entrees were disappointing. Probably a poor choice to order fish on a night like this. Possibly frozen vs fresh. On a normal night this dish has been outstanding but on this visit the sole was mushy - likely due to the masses. Desserts, tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake were both delicious. Definitely recommend the tiramisu.

    Lavendou Bistro Provincial: A Taste of France Hidden in North Dallas…read more "Some restaurants transport you the moment you walk in. Lavendou is one of those places." Every city has a restaurant that locals quietly treasure, a place you visit again and again because it makes you feel at home and somewhere far away at the same time. For our family, Lavendou Bistro Provincial in Dallas is that place. It is one of my mother-in-law's favorites, which means anytime we are in town, this charming bistro becomes a must-visit. Located in a simple strip mall that does not reflect the magic waiting inside, Lavendou is the definition of a hidden gem. If you drove by without knowing what was there, you might not think twice. But the moment you step through the door, everything changes. The atmosphere shifts, the noise of the parking lot disappears, and you are suddenly surrounded by the warm colors and rustic charm of provincial France. It is the type of restaurant that reminds you why dining can be an experience rather than just a meal. Ambiance and Décor Lavendou has an inviting elegance that never feels stiff or formal. The décor is beautifully curated with hand-screened Pierre Deux fabrics, soft lighting, and touches that reflect the countryside of southern France. It creates a cozy environment that calls to mind long lunches, quiet conversations, and meals meant to be savored. What makes it even more memorable is the way all the elements work together. The space, the service, the food, and even the gentle background music create a sense of transport that very few restaurants achieve. Menu and Drinks Lavendou's menu is rooted in authenticity. The first glance tells you that you are in for an authentic French dining experience. Dishes celebrate the lighter fare of southern France with flavors that are thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully presented. Susan always goes for the lobster bisque, which is rich, silky, and deeply satisfying. My preference leans toward the French onion soup, which was flavorful and comforting, though I personally would have enjoyed a few more baguette slices to bring even more texture into the dish. It is one of my mother-in-law's favorites, which means anytime we are in town, this charming bistro becomes a must-visit. We never skip the escargots a la bourguignonne, which arrive bubbling in garlic butter with French bread ready to soak up every drop. It is one of those simple pleasures that remind you why classic dishes become classic in the first place. Food Quality For our main courses, Susan ordered the Sole De Deuvers with crabmeat, which she could only describe as outstanding. I selected the Gambas et Coqilles St. Jacques en Mille Feuilles. The presentation was stunning and set my expectations high. While the flavors were excellent, the scallops were a bit chewy and the shrimp slightly overcooked. Knowing the talent in this kitchen and having dined here many times before, I consider this a rare miss and fully expect to give this dish another chance during our next visit. Dessert at Lavendou is an event of its own. The Grand Marnier soufflé is a must order. Light, warm, fragrant, and decadent all at once. We have also enjoyed the chocolate soufflé on prior visits and can confidently say Lavendou excels at ending the meal on a high note. Service Service at Lavendou is exceptional. Friendly, gracious, and attentive without ever feeling intrusive. You can sense the pride the staff takes in the experience they deliver. Owner Pascal Cayet is known for his welcoming presence and dedication to every guest. You feel cared for from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. Value and Pricing Lavendou provides a dining experience that feels special from start to finish. Pricing reflects the quality, care, and craft behind every plate. From a value perspective, you receive every bit of what you pay for. This is a place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, or simply a meal with someone who appreciates great food shared in a beautiful setting. Overall Experience Dining at Lavendou is like stepping into a moment of the French countryside without ever leaving North Dallas. It is warm, comforting, elegant, and memorable. The combination of atmosphere, authenticity, and heartfelt hospitality creates a restaurant that stays with you long after the last bite. The Culinary Duo Rating: Lavendou remains one of the very best French dining experiences in the region. If you have not been, this is your sign.

The zucchini chips could have used a little hit of salt and they would have been perfect. Seating is a little cramped during peak hours but you can get in some great people watching from the patio. Service was standard and our waiter was friendly. I feel like it's just one of those Dallas brunch standards that you must hit up at some point. Very cutesy for an afternoon with your girls!

    Oh man... what a let down this visit was for us…read more My wife and I have come here at least once a year for the past 3 years, and we've always loved this place. The food has always been great and the experience was something we looked forward to. That's why we chose to celebrate an early Valentine's Day here -- to avoid the crazy rush and the preset menu. But this time? Completely different experience. We got seated right away because of our reservation, which was great. It took a few minutes for the waiter to come by -- no big deal. I ordered an Old Fashioned and honestly... the bartender needs some help. It came out full of crushed ice and tasted watered down. I sent it back, and the second one was basically the same drink with more whiskey thrown in. At that point, I just let it go. Then things just kept going downhill. After about 20 minutes, we realized we hadn't gotten any bread. We asked the waiter and he said he'd check. Another 10 minutes go by and he comes back saying, "Still no bread," and drops off the wrong appetizer -- we had only ordered a salad. He takes it back, and it's another 15 minutes before our actual salad shows up. Still no bread. At one point, we could literally see him arguing with someone in the back about why we didn't get bread yet. Not exactly something you want to watch during a date night. The food, when it finally came out, was delicious. No complaints there. But it took forever. By the time we were eating, it was about 45 minutes until closing... and we had gotten there two hours earlier. Then comes the payment situation. The waiter brings the check back and casually tells me I gave him two credit cards and he "just picked the brighter one." I look down and he had handed me someone else's credit card while mine was still sitting in the book. That's not a small mistake. Overall, it just felt unorganized and sloppy this time. I don't know if they're short staffed or just getting too busy for their own good, but it was disappointing, especially for a place we've genuinely enjoyed in the past. Hoping it was just an off night... but it definitely made us think twice about coming back.

    Very good food and service. Highly recommend the short rib and the wild mushrooms pastry dish…read more Creme brûlée and lava cake was very yummy too. There was a family with kids celebrating a birthday or something so seemed family friendly. Great also for a date night.
