MMDecember 28, 2020Loved the onion & mushroom soups, steak frites, trout, and the bread is always amazing!
BillAugust 26, 2016Steak Frites - but watch out for the background photo-bomb! Sit outside if you can.
Brandy BonesMay 19, 2017Bread basket alone makes it worth the trip. Definitely pricey but it's a great atmosphere.- Michelle HaarApril 14, 2013Grab a table outside on 18th street. Perfect people watching spot. Escargot and rabbit parpadalle were amazing.
- Outstanding entrées include boeuf bourguignon with fresh buttered pasta and steak frites with peppercorn sauce. Fridays: try the seafood-rich bouillabaisse. Sundays: go for the coq au vin.
David GuerrieriSeptember 20, 2015Amazing eggs Benedict, perfect cuts of ham, nice staff and wonderful view of Rittenhouse Square
Sampsa KuusiluomaMarch 19, 2015Excellent eggs Norwegian. And one of the best croissants I've ever had with house made condiments.
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011This chic brasserie serving traditional bistro fare has the freshest baguettes since they make it in-house. You cannot go wrong ordering their Artisanal cured meats or Steak Frittes.- K ZiggyJune 19, 2011Cute French restaurant. Very good quality food and nice outdoor seating. For breakfast the bacon is great and the hazelnut moca is must try for brekfast
Philadelphia MagazineDecember 2, 2011Have a drink at this Rittenhouse retreat and be taken away to Le Champs Elysees! The gorgeous vibe will make the pricey cocktails oh so worth the extra buck. Read more
Scott BlackthornFebruary 21, 2014The finest French restaurant I ever had the honor to eat at. Thank you for a great evening. I will be back
Philadelphia MagazineOctober 6, 2010Go there for the Croque Madame. Grilled Black Forest ham, Mornay sauce and a fried egg, open-faced on Buttered, toasted brioche. The perfect brioche is made in-house. Read more
Try the Polenta and Eggs Basquaise - Creamy polenta with tiny bits of salt, spicy sausage and tomatoes capped off with perfectly poached eggs.
Gordon MilchamJune 19, 2015Nice old school bistro. Menu is minimal but everything is right in this place.
Ricardo SeixasSeptember 17, 2015Exceptional French themed coffee shop with very good menu. High priced but exceptional quality.
Damien Basile 😈March 24, 2013I HIGHLY recommend the French toast. The hazelnut butter is to die for.
Marina RyazanskayaJune 19, 2013We tried rabbit paparedelle, beef bourguignon and creme brûlée for dessert - everything was awesome
amooliaDecember 2, 2011Macaroni au gratin is gruyere decadence. You must have the warm shrimp salad for lunch with a side of pomme frites and don't you dare ask for ketchup.
David AbelmanDecember 11, 2016Nice atmosphere in one of Steven Starr original restaurants. Food is consistently good.
Joe CeraldeJanuary 24, 2011I had the Duck Confit, it was amazing. Not too salty not too greasy. Perfectly French. My red wine was the Boujelais Villages.... better than the noveau.
Ricky SherrillJuly 31, 2015A good choice for breakfast. Friendly service and an ice place for a breakfast meeting.
The petit plateau is neither petit nor a plateau. Discuss. And order it. The most economical and pretty amazing raw bar platter you and 3 friends won't finish.

Great place for brunch but definitely make reservations for weekends!!!- Paula MFMay 22, 2015Don't forget to order a cheese platter for the table and the tarte citron for dessert.
- GiancarloApril 18, 2012Oysters and a Warm Shrimp Salad are a great lunch combo. If you're in a big group, go for the Grand Plateau.
Jennifer Uff.August 7, 2014Salmon and braised cabbage. I all but licked the plate. A perfect French bistro.
Dee💗StacyMay 10, 2017Good food, drinks, awesome bread basket. Small portions bit overpriced. However waitress was huge bitch demanding I leave her cash tip and where is it as checks still on table.

Cole KennedySeptember 18, 2024Food didn’t blow me away, at least at breakfast, but it’s a fairly cute space.
- Love this fantastic Rittenhouse hot spot? You should live right upstairs, visit:
The moules frites is great! Even better than what I had in Paris. However the sorbet was kinda disappointing.
Carolina RevillaSeptember 2, 2013Beautiful French restaurant. Order the basket of pastries to start, delicious!!!!
