    What an amazing dining experience. My wife and I went for Valentine's Day. We did a late lunch. I rather stick a hot poker in my eye than be out and about at night trying to eat on this day. The people were welcoming and kind. Everything was perfect. I enjoyed some oysters with no shell bits which is rare. Awesome fries great cocktails. My steak was cooked to perfection.I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my dining experience. AI have no words look at the pics. GO TO THERE!

    Gnocchi

    My boyfriend and I spent our Valentine's Day at Le Bouillon and as always, it exceeded our expectations. We started off with the steak tartare and frites and it was delicious. Our waitress, I'm kicking myself that I cannot remember her name, recommended the gnocchi and I am so happy I chose that dish. The flavors were unreal, the gnocchi was soft and pillowy, and the leek cream was decadent. I'm still dreaming about it. My boyfriend ordered the Wagyu Cheeseburger and in his words, it was the best burger he's ever tasted. He had the salad with it and the vinegar dressing was perfect. The ambiance of Le Bouillon is also so special! It's such a romantic restaurant and I love how they incorporate candles everywhere. Le Bouillon does not miss.

    We had a wonderful first experience at Le Bouillon! The staff members were SO friendly. They sat us at a cute little table in the back where it was cozy and quiet. My husband had the burger - super tasty and served with shoestring fries and homemade ketchup and aioli. I tried the tasting menu: endive salad, roasted chicken, and chocolate marquise. Everything was fabulous, and I loved the seasonal flavors, especially the charred broccolini and butternut squash with the chicken. Go check out the wine room and the downstairs space - think speakeasy vibes!

    We went to Le Bouillon for a goodbye celebration for a friend, and overall, I really enjoyed it. It's definitely a great spot if you're looking for a fancy dinner. Most of us ordered from their regular menu, but one of my friends went for the four-course dinner. I will say service was a bit slow and the food took quite a while to come out, even though the place wasn't very busy. But when it did arrive, it was worth the wait because the food was delicious! I had the steak and it was so flavorful. My friends also mentioned they really enjoyed their plates. One thing to keep in mind if you're going with a bigger group: they don't split checks individually. Also, it's a bit on the pricey side, but perfect for a special occasion.

    The restaurant is located in old downtown Omaha that have brick paved streets, large old buildings with merchant names on the fronts, restaurant, bars, shopping. Dinner was at Le Bouillon French restaurant which was bright, inviting lively art, flowers and a spectacular wine room that you can pick a bottle if you prefer. The staff were friendly, smiles and great service. We started with oysters and Champagne which were delightful and we split the Duroc pork chop paired with an Italian wine. I actually picked that bone up and clean it well, I wasn't going to leave that goodness behind. We finished with tawny port They had a phone booth that was great for a photo shoot. A fun vibrant night!

    There was a farmers market on Sunday in August 2025 and we decided to duck in here for the a/c cause it was 95 degrees outside. The a/c here was great when we were here. It was Sunday Brunch time at this restaurant and, even though it was super hot outside, we had French onion soup and a couple of their appetizers. We are fans of French onion soup so we had to try even though it was super hot outside. This place offers their full menu in addition to their brunch menu during brunch time. We would visit here again when we eventually return to Omaha. Recommended!

    What a beautiful decorated restaurant in Old Market! Serving French inspired dishes. We got two different steak dishes. The filet I got was cooked perfectly medium rare. Loved the fries. We thought the drinks could've been better. We made reservations but did not need to because it seemed as we were the first guests of the night. My boyfriend is French so this restaurant has been on his list for awhile so I'm glad we were able to come try it!

    Brunch Hanger Steak and Eggs
    Ricardo S.

    The breakfast was amazing--the picanha steak was delicious, and the asparagus and roasted potatoes were both savory. Came first thing on a Sunday morning, and my girlfriend and I were warmly greeted by the host who was also our waiter, since it was a slow start to the day. Ambiance was warm and light. We walked, though, we observed that parking was limited to metered (free after 9pm on weekdays, free on Sunday's if I'm not mistaken!) 10/10 would return!

    It's been a while since we were last at Le Bouillon for the dinner service and I have been looking forward to dining there for brunch for a while, but had not made it back there till recently. Here is my brunch review: The brunch menu is small, but covers both sweet and savory. Cocktails are available in the form of bloody's, mimosa and and a couple of unique cocktails from Le B. If you so choose, the raw bar (oysters, tartare, and salmon) can fix a craving, or the charcuterie selections will impress a friend who loves cured meat. We did an order of the Kaiserschmarrn (Austrian pancake) which was light, fluffy and delicious-definitely the reason I would return. The berry topping and whipped butter mixed with a light but flavorful syrup gave these pancakes a great gift to the palate. The eggs in a basket was a miss for me-the texture of the bread was crumbly and dry, and I didn't like the flavor. The pommes frites were yummy as they came out hot and fresh and the over easy eggs were made correctly. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. It was a relaxing atmosphere to dine in at 1pm on a Sunday and the bill was reasonable at $30. I would come back for the pancakes, for sure!

    Absolutely delightful lunch spot! The service is fantastic, our host/server Ellie was so wonderful & welcoming. Love how calm the dining area can be during the week, it's always worth a visit. The French Onion soup was so good I almost cried, keep up the great work!!

    This restaurant is amazing!! I can not recommend it more. We have been here a few times, and each time we got the tasting menu which was well thought out and decently priced! Right as we walked in the offered to take our coats and led us to our table. They staff was very attentive, even offering me a purse hanger. They have an extensive wine list, so we began our meal with a bottle of riesling which was crisp and refreshing. We went there for valentines day and did the chef's menu. I am gluten free and they were very accommodating with altering the dishes slightly. I started with the smoked white fish on a delicious creamy dill spread. Then had the tuna for my main which was FANTASTIC and finished with a chocolate mouse- the perfect dinner. The ambiance is moody and I loved how the tables were spaced to feel like you had your own little private dining area. There is also so much fun art on the walls to look at. This paired with the white bricks made it the perfect place to enjoy good company, good drinks, and AMAZING food. Highly recommend!

    Tartare + frites
    Nosa E.

    My partner and I have been doing this thing where we try French restaurants and the duck everywhere we go, and this week I realized we hadn't given Omaha a chance. I had heard of this spot from a colleague and decided to give it a try. Walking in, there was only 2 other diners but it was a Monday evening so I set my skepticism aside. My first glance at the menu left me a bit disappointed. The menu I had seen online had several items that intrigued me but what I was seeing in person was quite different. I was disappointed. I considered leaving but decided to give it a shot. Now I would compare this dining experience to a musical score. This particular composure started off with a steady build. The pre-dinner drinks - the rooibos old fashioned for me, and the chamo Collins (with gin) for the lady were pretty decent. Then the appetizers upped the excitement and the tempo. We got the tartare + frites. While this was good, the beef was a bit too chunky for me. At this point, we should be bursting with excitement for the crescendo that is the main course. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The duck frites fell flat. The skin did have a nice crisp to it though. The saving grace of the whole thing was desert. The basque cheesecake which was brûléed with what I assume was a custard brought us right back to a peak. Service, otherwise, was great! We love to share meals and they accommodated us very easily. The hostess was very friendly and the food came out well-spaced out and timed.

    We visited Au Courant for the first time this past weekend for my husband's birthday…read more The space is cosy and I really liked the overall ambiance they provided with the lighting (lights did slightly dim at 8). My husband wanted to try the chef's tasting menu but I unfortunately for him wasn't feeling very brave. Just a heads up; if you decide on the chefs tasting menu, everyone at your table needs to do it as well. While slightly less adventurous, we found some truly amazing dishes on their à la carte menu. For a starter, we ended up choosing the featured chovy's egg for the week which included beurre blanc, steelhead roe, and turnip. While I didn't try this myself, my husband enjoyed it. For the rest of the meal we decided to share the fagottini which was filled short rib and was placed on a bed of sweet potato with caramelized onion. The flavors on this were so delicious. The red wine they used was perfect. Next, came the pappardelle bolognese with basil and parmigiano. Again, amazing. So flavorful and so many different textures which elevated the dish so much. Last was our agreed upon favorite, the picanha that was served with a wonderful grilled/smoked cabbage and topped with hollandaise (though I think the menu said it was served with spinach and potato). I loved everything about this dish. The meat was cooked to absolute perfection and the cabbage (a total unsung hero) was delectable! I would 1000% get this dish again. We also both had their Raspberry Beret which was fantastic. A perfect summer drink. They have a little fun with their featured drinks; if the song they are named after is played during your visit, the drink is half-off! While Prince didn't end up serenading us, I do always love a little challenge! Our server was very friendly along with each staff member who brought our various dishes to us. Wow is all I have to say after visiting. I haven't loved everything I've eaten at a restaurant in such a long time. Will definitely be back!

We shared the Valentine's menu; two starters, two entrees, and two dessert options resulted in us trying one of everything. The starters: Crudo--our surprising favorite--contained buttery yet tart scallops we couldn't shut up about, and fresh made tortellini in a rich red pepper sauce we were spooning out at the end. The entrees: a perfectly cooked crusted, yet tender steak with alarmingly good seasoned hasselback fingerling potatoes, and tender swordfish on a bed of creamy cous cous.
