However, the portions were more than expected considering it was gourmet. We couldn't finish our entrees. Good spot for French brunch as it is a top fine-food grocer and deli.

I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

The escargot were insanely good--perfectly cooked and served simply with a little pesto butter. My daughter and I had the confit du canard and souris d'agneau, respectively, both of which were splendid. We finished the meal, or so we thought, with the trilogie de creme brulee. Vanilla bean, raspberry and lavender, each really good. Then the chef, having heard me and the server talking about each dish, asked if we wanted to try this experimental dish he had made. It was a rump steak, smoked with grape tree wood for just a little while and served rare with a dollop of pesto. Magnificent. If you get so lucky it will be worth the trip to Paris.

The first time was…read morebased on the Yelp review for places in the area, the second because we loved it so much the first time. The restaurant changes their dishes and desserts every day, offering a fish of the day, a meat of the day, and a few other dishes. The entrecote or rumsteak options are always available. We all ate the lentils with grilled octopus at our first visits. Today, two of us had the entrecote and one had the tuna. We also each had a different desert (fraisier, plum tart, flan de coco) and did not leave a crumb behind on any of it. The team there is careful in sourcing their ingredients. This is a friendly place. Tourists and locals are welcomed just as warmly. The service is really fast and friendly. It is busy. You may want to make reservations if you are on a tight deadline.

The menu is on a chalk board- drink bottles are around the bar. A quick café to go from the bar is only 1€ - fancy that! Petite Dejuner is 6€ with a choice of options. Soups and Salads were very fresh with interesting flavors. The little cookie that comes with the cafe reminds me of Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa with Hard Marshmallows- and that's a good memory. The space is a bit small and too intimate at times for my midwestern farm sized body- but other than that- everything else is lovely.

Natalie made us feel super welcomed, even spoke English to us and told us many great stories about her bar and such. If youre in this area, go support for sure. Im sure Eugene will lick ya hands.
