I went with Bret and a small group for my 50th birthday in September 2025 to Nice, France. It is still the most memorable trip of my life and for all the right reasons. We enjoyed laid back French breakfasts with the group. Amazing Nicoise style dinners. A tour of Nice. Picturesque drives to vineyards and nearby towns and of course each other's company. If you are a Francophile or budding Francophile (for the France tours) and have a deep curiosity for travel, culture, food and language then consider taking a culinary trip with Bret. It's more curated, he's thoughtful on who he finds to assist with local activities, the restaurant selection is fabulous, and the cost is less than a lot of companies out there. The bonus is that plenty of free so he does not focus on monopolizing your time for tours and restaurant visits. You get to actually explore the you're in or just relax in your hotel or Airbnb. if you were looking for something new to do for a trip, think about Bret next time.

Bret is a very personable chef and fun to work with. Whether you're a beginner or advanced and…read morejust want to learn how to prepare some delicious meals, Bret's Table can help teach you. If you're rather inexperienced like I am, and have no clue what meals to prepare or what dishes to present, you can ask Bret, and he'll come up with a menu. His private classes can range from teaching one special dish or dessert, to teaching you how to make a multi-course dinner. Let him know what you'd like to learn. If you're a beginner, also plan some time for learning cooking techniques and knife skills. What to expect: I booked Bret's Table for a small dinner party themed event, where the guests were invited to help in the preparation of the dishes that would be presented for dinner. Not knowing what to make for the dinner party, I asked Bret to help me come up with dishes to prepare. We came up with a 6 course dinner plan. If you already know what you'd like to learn, you can make that specific request instead. Through emailing, Bret provided me with recipes and the list of ingredients I needed. Because I was a nervous wreck hosting my first ever Dinner Party at my home, Bret was kind enough to show up early to help me get acquainted with some of my kitchenware before the guests arrived. He showed up nicely dressed with his white Chef shirt, apron, and twirly mustache! We designated areas in my kitchen as stations to prepare each different part of the dinner. Starting with appetizers all the way through dessert. Bret was very attentive and helped give directions to each guest. Everyone had a great time learning and cooking together. It's a great way to build friendships! And during the down time, the people who worked on the less demanding dishes drank wine. The dinner itself was amazing! The food tasted great, the company was great, and by the end of the night, we went through 10 bottles of wine. Not bad for an eight person dinner lol! Ok, ok, maybe a bottle was used in the cooking. I highly recommend hiring Bret from Bret's Table. He's very professional and friendly, and did I mention the cool mustache?!! And it speaks for his reputation for the fact that my dinner guests immediately hired him for their own dinner party after meeting him for the first time. It will be a fun experience for all, especially if you are cooking with friends! Also, how amazing is it that you get to work with the chef in your own home? Great fun! Highly recommended!

The only thing I would request of them is to have cameras and a tv or two set up over the teacher's cooking station like at the Kitchen Window classrooms. Although without those cameras it did make the participants get up front and comfy with each other, which isn't the worst thing in the world.

I also tried the Honey Granola with yogurt, which made for a light and satisfying breakfast. The café was clean, spacious, and made for a great place to sit down, enjoy my coffee, and get some reading done.

Definitely the most expensive coffee I have gotten! Their menu seemed to have lots of unique and tasty coffees and items! I'd love to come back and try more. Despite the cost, the coffee was very tasty! In my opinion, this is one of the best coffee shops in the twin cities!

In our class, we prepped a Mediterranean cake, an arugula salad, and a seafood and chicken paella. It was a fun experience and we had a good time cooking with our table mates. Because we were on a date night cooking night we were given a token for a complementary alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages, and there were more available for purchase.

I like to support this shop along with all the other wonderfully unique stores in downtown Stockholm to keep the area thriving...especially since they don't get much traffic in colder months. It's always fun to browse The Palate's curated selection of wines from small, sustainable vineyards; beautiful French porcelain; freshly baked treats; and international pantry of gourmet pastas, oils, and seasonings. Even better, enjoy a charcuterie board with a glass of wine on the back porch, or sign up for a cooking classes with Judy Krohn. Everything in this store is top notch, but one of most unique products is the Laudable Linens from France, custom cut to your table's exact measurements. The cloth has a nano-treatment that prevents stains--it really works! I've been left tongue-tied having seen demonstrations in the shop where wine was intentionally spilled and left sitting on the cloth for a while, then wiped off completely like it was never there. An elastic edge can also be added to keep your tablecloth in place, which is especially handy for outdoor tables. If you're driving through Stockholm, Wisconsin, you simply must visit The Palate for snacks and wine before continuing your adventures along the "Great River Road"--resistance is futile!! Live long and prosper!

I surprised my…read morehusband with a sushi making class and we were greeted by Chef Peter and Chef Danika (I'm not sure on spelling) and they were so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. They asked each of us why we'd were taking the class and genuinely tried to tailor the experience and instructions to meet as many people's requests and needs as possible which I greatly appreciated. They went above and beyond to make us feel special and took time to answer all of our food and kitchen related questions, even if it didn't relate to sushi. We have tried making sushi at home before but always felt like something was missing or we would struggle with certain aspects of the process. However, many of the people in the course had never made sushi before so this was a great class for beginners of all skill levels! Besides the sushi rice & tempura shrimp tails being pre made and some of the sauce ingredients being pre-portioned out, we made all of the other filling ingredients! We started by learning the best way to julienne a cucumber for sushi rolls & then how to slice up an avocado. Once that was done, we made a marinade for each of our fresh tuna steaks and were able to sear them to our liking! Once all of our ingredients were prepped, we rolled two different sushi rolls, one with shrimp & one with tuna and both were so tasty. What I truly loved was that everyone had their own ingredients to make their own two rolls. This allowed each of us to not only have an abundance of food at the end, but we also got to test our own skills out and learn from hands on experience. I can't wait to bring these new skills to life in my own kitchen. We also got a miso soup at the end which was amazing. This was money well spent and I'm looking forward to more classes in the future!
