Our quest for great brunch spots took us last weekend to Flower Mound and Vieux Carre. The store is in the upscale Parker Square strip center on Cross Timbers Road. As you can see from posted pics here on Yelp the restaurant is classy with a brasserie ambiance and vibe. We elected to be seated in one of the very comfortable booths across from the attractive bar with its red, upholstered swivel stools. My wife opted for a glass of Pinot Grigio and I a Sazerac. The Sazarac was OK, but overpowered in this pour by the bitters (and I'm one who loves both Angostura and Peychaud bitters. I drink them both straight whenever I have a slightly queasy stomach and enjoy them straight). For starters we shared a bowl of French onion soup which on this chilly early winter morning was a comforting and savory start to our brunch meal. My wife went with the eggs Benedict and I decided to try the Oeufs en Cocotte, a dish I encountered here for the first time ever. The eggs Benedict, my wife reports, was excellent. Perfectly poached eggs, large slices of a tender and flavorful ham over a croissant-like puff pastry that had been split and grilled to perfection in butter on the flat top, topped with a nicely done Hollandaise sauce. Happily for me, she left a half of the butter grilled pastry. It was divine. Likewise the Oeufs en Cocotte, eggs poached in a shallot cream sauce, was heavenly. Cannot wait to enjoy this again! Perfectly cooked eggs in a flavorful, steaming hot, shallot and cream sauce. So good. Our server was perfectly attentive and very helpful, answering clearly our questions about the preparations of the dishes. So looking forward to our next visit. read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a shot, we enjoy finding new experiences. This is a French restaurant and after we went the first time, we've already been back twice! Also, the friend we took one of thost times wants to return already because the beef bourguinon was still cooking when we were there. We have really nice experiences in Parker Square in general, but this was definitely a highlight. Friendly, welcoming servers and a neat atmosphere. Menus seem to change frequently, which is a good thing. My dad had the eggs in cream... when he gets quiet and doesn't say anything about his food, it means it's really good and he doesn't want to share it... when I stuck my knife in it and tasted it, that was confirmed, it was deliciously creamy and garlicy. I had the souffle the first time and the French Dip the second time. My mom had a smoked salmon salad and really enjoyed that. Go for brunch, go for lunch, go for dinner. Yummy! read more

Another great meal! Joined for lunch and had a wonderful ham/cheese/crossing sandwich with a Caesar salad and a side of shoestring fries. Not a single crumb left. Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. Pricing was GREAT! I already made plans to return with friends and family. If you haven't been it's a must try! read more

This hidden gem in Flower Mound is a French restaurant that transports you back to a cozy Parisian eatery. The pork ribeye is cooked to perfection, harmonizing beautifully with the apple and leek. The beef bourguignon is a chef's kiss, with a red wine flavor that complements the entire dish without overpowering it. The crème brûlée is equally delightful. The attentive and friendly staff adds to the overall cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return.

Many have talked about Vieux Carre so we thought we would give it a try. Arrived early to our reservation time to have a drink at the bar. Place was 1/2 full. Band was playing which made it difficult to have a conversation without yelling. Even the bartender (who was possibly the owner or manager ) commented how loud it was. We'll ask them to turn down just a bit. After about 15 minutes of sipping on our drinks we asked to be seated. A upper scale restaurant would have carried our drinks over for us but not here. Lack of knowledge by the wait team??? We were seated at a table that was directly under an AC duct that we found out leaked in multiple areas on the table. I am sure the staff was aware of the water dripping as the table was wet before they sat us. Why would you seat someone at a table that is dripped on??? The service is veeeerrrrryyyy ssssslllllllloooooooowwwwww. Our waiter was MIA after taking our order. No one checked on us. Asked if everything was to our liking, asked if we needed anything, filled our water, asked if we wanted another drink, asked if we wanted dessert.... We had to ask for everything, water m, containers to go, ask for the check. We contemplated getting up and just leaving since no one was checking on us. The food was above average, B+ Value: average Service: D- Atmosphere: B+ The wait team needs some training. It will be an awhile before we consider trying again as there are many other places on our list. read more

This was my second visit, and just like the first, it didn't disappoint. The first time I had the tomato biscuit grilled cheese, and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had. This time, I went for the Boeuf Bourguignon, tender beef, rich wine sauce, smoky bacon, and the chive lime cream added just the right brightness. I also tried the escargot in a garlicky Chardonnay beurre blanc (worth it!), and the lemon roasted chicken, which was juicy and flavorful with perfectly sautéed mushrooms and potatoes. Our server, Mondo (yes, like Star Wars), was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. The ambience is moody and elevated, with velvet bar stools, beautiful lighting, and jazz softly playing in the background. read more

This was a really nice find in the faux city of Flower Mound north of Dallas. Excellent service and friendly staff complement a cozy sheik interior that emulates that of a french bistro. They have a most impressive cocktail menu which I highly encourage guests to explore. The signature original creations as well as the "prohibition " classics should appeal to the most picky of cocktail connoisseurs. If you're a whiskey fan, be sure to ask for the separate whiskey menu with prices. Very impressive. Food was satisfying. Appetizer of escargot was unique and easy to eat out of shell and plenty for two. My entree was the lemon roasted chicken. A bit of a miss on this one. Billed as a quarter chicken leg/thigh in the bone but served as a chicken breast. Unfortunately this was dried out and tough as one would expect. The bone-in dark meat is what's needed for this cooking method. I wouldn't get it again. There are plenty of other options that were appealing and I would come back to try those. My server Maggie was the highlight of my experience with only two days in the job. Well done! Recommend. read more

My wife and I dropped in on a Friday evening with the intention of sitting at the bar for a few drinks and snacking on a charcuterie board so we did not make reservations. Turns out they would not have been needed. As a quick note, they do not offer a happy hour on Fridays. I should have used the patrons rule of thumb on a restaurant. If a place is empty Friday at 6 PM then clearly something isn't quite right. To their credit the beer prices are just fine. $5 a beer; and their pecan old fashioned at $13 is decently priced and flavorful, though bordering on too much sweet flavor. Usually my wife won't have anything to do with my old fashioned drink but this night she said she actually liked it. Also to their credit the charcuterie board was good, though void of the liquid brie that my wife and I thought was unique. In its place were quality substitutes but for the most part just made it above average level vs a reason to come by. The star on the board I thought was the fig jam, and the candied walnuts were a great supporting cast. Cheeses and meats good as well. The disappointment of the evening was the beef Bourguignon, which I tend to think as a comfort plate on a cool evening. The plate came out lukewarm, an attempt was made at reheating, and that somewhat solved the temperature issue. However, it did not solve the tough and rubbery meat that I could barely swallow. Not helping matters was the very odd flavoring in it. We also had a side salad which was more edible but basic. The ranch dressing however was probably the most bland I've ever had. Those two dishes sealed a very friendly two-star rating. At an overall bill of $90 plus our $18 tip I would have a very hard time convincing myself to come back. I think they're missing the boat when it comes to happy hour; The people were quite friendly there and I think everyone loves a great place to have a drink at a decent price. But also when it comes to this place I've never understood their desire to present themselves as fine dining but then have French fries as a staple on many entrees. I think the place has lost its way and could use some direction before we give it another chance. Wish them luck... read more

First time visiting and it's such a cute vibe! Our host was Christopher and he took great care of us and provided options to try. We had the loaded fries as an app and hamburgers w/ fries. Burger could have been seasoned a bit more but was still good. Definitely gonna come back to try their brunch or even just sit at the bar for party of 1. The atmosphere is cool enough for that and I love that. read more

I read about this place on Yelp and Thank You - it was fab-u-lous! Well decorated with an intimate feel. Great for date night. Let's start with our most pleasant and ever attentive server Kennedy. She was great. Ask for her if you try this place. We ordered the Pan Seared Salmon that came with finger potatoes and asparagus. When I tell you that it was beyond delicious. The salmon was thick, juicy, and, tender. But the best thing was the sauce that topped it. OMG!!! It is a must try. Next was the mussels. Again well prepared and the sauce was so good that I kept spooning it up. They were accompanied by perfectly prepared baguettes with just the right amount of butter. Finally was the green beans with almond and bacon. They really weren't my favorite, but hey you cannot win them all. I would definitely return. A great collaborative staff and amazing food.

Saturday night we met our friends in Parker Sq for dinner at Vieux Carre. Our friends had suggested the restaurant based on word of mouth so we thought we give it a shot Plenty of parking is available in Parker Sq and we arrived for our 6:30 reservation and there was plenty of seating. Restaurant is dark with hard surfaces so sound will reverberate if you have problem with sounds The restaurant has a large wine menu and they allowed us tastings. Once we determined our drinks we ordered everything including apps and entrees I had the grain and chicken salad and the Monte Cristo and my wife had the French onion soup and mussels. All tasted very good , portion size was average. Our friends shared the creme brulee - they found it disappointing, not creamy I do realize they are currently in a soft opening so we hope the restaurant succeeds. That said at this price point more variety on the menu and complimentary table snacks would be a suggestion read more

Vieux Carre - Grilled salmon with capers on top of wild rice in A delicious cream sauce with the best asparagus I've ever had!! Everything was delicious - French Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

Decided to eat here with my husband for a Saturday brunch. We recently went to France and have been searching for a French restaurant nearby to even come close to what we experienced there so we were excited to come try Vieux Carré...(had to ask how to pronounce this one!) The ambiance is almost cave like with a nice touch of colorful furniture and light romantic atmosphere. Loved the decor and little touch lamps on each table. There was light music in the background followed by a couple guys who came in to play live jazz music which you would expect from a high end restaurant in downtown Dallas! Certainly, an elevated restaurant addition to the town of Flower Mound. We had an excellent server named Kennedy and would definitely return to have her as our server again. Overall, the service and atmosphere of the restaurant was quite nice and enjoyed conversations with one of the managers and also Chef Gregory. The main test is the food of course, which tasted better than some other French restaurants we have been to but will need to return for a dinner experience instead since that seems to be their main focus. Not sure if we can justify spending $50 for brunch here. The restaurant just opened a month ago, so it seemed they are still getting things going. There were no cappuccinos available as they don't have an espresso machine yet, which is definitely a must especially if they are serving brunch. They have super cute patio tables outside too which resembles what you would see in Europe...but you need coffee! I'm sure over time this will be one that we can hopefully return to for a unique enjoyable experience. Their official grand opening is coming up on November 4th so I may update my review after giving it another try. read more

Both of our salmon dishes were RAW. They did recook the meal and took them off the bill. The restaurant handled it appropriately and we're happy about this, just not sure we'll be back anytime soon. read more

From the time we walked in the door we were greeted and seated immediately, then a pleasant surprise of relaxing jazz musicians playing. I was impressed a charming, intimate beautifully decorated French Restaurant. The extensive beverage menu was a plus as well. I ordered the Monte Cristo I was torn between two items our phenomenal waiter Christopher was exceptionally knowledgeable about the choices said go with the Monte Cristo it was thee best I've ever had. My honey and I shared the cheesecake brûlée, the presentation was absolutely wonderful!! It was delicious! I don't live in the area and I'm confused as to why this establishment is not jam packed!!! I will certainly place it in the rotation for dining, and share with friends in the future. read more

Great experience! Food was delicious in an upscale atmosphere. It all tasted homemade with its own flair. The waiter was great and friendly. The manager came over to talk to us. The bartender was helpful. The prices were very reasonable. Surprisingly not crowded. I will probably make this a more frequent choice. I didn't notice the 3.5% service fee for credit cards at first, and that's an unusual line item for a restaurant of this caliber. I'm sure it's to cover a credit card fee, but I usually only see that at a donut shop to cover small purchases. Would feel comfortable taking friends, family, and business associates here for the food and experience. read more

I'm shocked this place is not more crowded! The food and service were excellent. The lobster bisque had big chunks of lobster and is less thick than most places which made it awesome.

Highly recommend! We will be back for sure. read more

Unfortunately, my dining experience was not as those that have left reviews. We visited on a Monday evening and were the only party in the restaurant for most of our time here. We ordered the Steak Frites with truffle fries and a Caesar Salad. Caesar salad was excellent and delivered timely. We then waited for an hour for our entrees to arrive. While the steak was delicious, the fries were subpar. Still a little cold and not super crispy. My asparagus looked like it had a fight with the grill. They were tiny and severely overcooked. My friend had Boeuf Bourguigon and the taste was terrific, however, the "stew" was quite watery? It just doesn't seem like maybe the regular chef was working? The restaurant itself is gorgeous and quaint I only wish our experience had been better as I am unlikely to return. read more

Very nice indeed. Prompt, friendly service from Maggie. Pretty restaurant, with many interesting food options from Escargot to fondue and more.

We decided to make reservations for brunch after family photos in the same shopping center. I was really impressed with the decor. It was really exy (my new word). The dark greys and maroon was singing to me Gitchie gitche YaYa DaDa lol. The staff was super friendly and eager to be of service. Now I was saddened because earlier in the month I had stopped by and got menus and had my mouth all set to try some of the French cuisine but unfortunately during the time period I reserved only the brunch menu was available. I don't make it to this area much so it's not like I can just casually come back. I mean brunch is brunch... not very exciting so next time I have to pay very close attention to the time frames so that I can try either the lunch or dinner menu. read more

Today was my first visit to this restaurant. The restaurant is well designed and very welcoming. If my review was on purely aesthetics.. they would get a five. My waitress was attentive and very kind. If my rating was on service, I'd give them a four. I ordered a burger and fries. The fries were abundant and very good. My issue was with the burger. Dry as a bone.. and it was very small. The bun was much larger than the burger. Would I return ? Probably not. I hope the quality improves. read more

We hope this review saves some people from our gut-wrenching experience (literally true-NOT a joke) at Vieux Carre on March 5, 2025. We had a group of 5 people who went there for lunch and within 20-30 hours of the meal, 4 of the 5 people were extremely ill and one of them went to the emergency room. All the sick people were ill for 2-3 days and one of them missed 3 days of work. The management did not seem to take this seriously and were dismissive. We noticed the other review posted in Yelp in regards to a bunch of people getting very, very sick also about a week after our experience. This is NOT an isolated event and these events need to be reported to the Texas Department of State Health Services. read more

We, family and friends, went to Vieux Carre for my husband's birthday luncheon. What a disaster it turned out to be! The service was slow, and the food mediocre. The French onion soup was warm, and the entrees were nothing special. The result of this meal was violent sickness. Our one friend ended up in emergency, and the rest of us couldn't stray far from the bathroom. My son missed three days of work. We talked to management about our experience, and it was implied we would receive a refund for the meal. Still waiting. read more
