Great! Everything is great: food, staff, atmosphere. Perfect taste and perfect portion sizes. Anyone complaining about portion size is likely overweight. If you need unlimited food I'd reco golden corral for you? read more

Wow, this was the best place we ate at during our vacation stay in Placerville. The food and service were amazing and the flavors we experienced were beyond belief. Do not pass this place up, you will regret it. The only negative thing I have to say is that they are not in my home city. read more

I love the menu. The staff is very friendly. And the food... Amazing ! Comfort french food! Love it. We went several times already and bought gift cards for our friends. I definite Y recommend it read more

Food is good as always, but the waitress was so busy chatting with a couple at the bar, that we were left feeling a little ignored and wanted to place our order. After I got her attention she was kind and attentive. The food is sooooo good. The chicken crepe and coq Au Vin is delicious. Desserts are fabulous too! read more

Appreciated that the menu had vegetarian and vegan options labeled it clearly-- pretty good selection for vegetarian but only one option for vegan and they didn't offer any ability to modify other dishes to be vegan so I went with the Maison salad. Was good! But wish there were more options. I guess c'est la vie ‍ read more

Great food, every time. One of the better Caesar salads, especially if you like garlic. Two types of Paella, wonderful soups in the winter. Nice sandwiches if you want a picnic, a nice overall variety of French cuisine. I've heard great things about the escargot, just not my personal cup of tea. Delicious desserts and quite a variety. No reservations; limited seating; get there early; and have a wonderful experience with lovely owners and a lot of attention to detail. read more

Everything was delicious, but they could use more work on the paella. The rice was overcooked or almost stale. The only thing that saves it is the aioli it comes with. We enjoyed some local wines and sort of made our own little wine tasting selection. Definitely order the lamb and finish off your meal with coffee with ANY dessert and you can't go wrong. And we can't say enough about the bread. Get it in some form - as a sandwich, with the cheese, with butter, with escargot, anything you want! Just be sure to get the bread. Lastly, the people there are so nice. Service is excellent even in such a small place. There are just 2 servers but they never rush you. They really give you their full attention and care about the work they're doing. It's worth the wait and the special drive! read more

We have stopped here twice on our way over to Tahoe. It's kind of out of our way and SOOOOO worth it! We plan on going back when we can. I don't think I'll get the same thing twice until I have tried everything on the menu. read more

I had such a good experience getting a to-go lunch while running errands that I made it back for dinner with my husband for our anniversary the same night. I really enjoyed the veggie sandwich in my picnic lunch, which was set on fresh, crisp baguette and had very satisfying savory flavors (possibly olive oil, cauliflower and zucchini with a mild, creamy texture accented slightly with turmeric?). The cute and filling boxed meal was like a gift and came accompanied with a chocolate tart, cookie, pasta salad and a piece of delicious brie. It was really filling and definitely offered flavors I crave. Dinner was also enjoyable, though I forgot the try the beef bourgogne that I had heard was amazing. I enjoyed my perfectly cooked fish, rice and veggie plate (I loved the lemony beurre blanc with salty capers, yum!) and my husband loved his cassoulet. Definitely recommend the chocolate mousse, don't skip out on that. Service was attentive and professional and the ambiance is warm and cozy and was a nice escape from loud or pretentious vibes. Great wine, also. read more

Wonderful food, so good and popular it's always full. Only downside is limited seating and no reservations.

My only regret is that it's not closer to me! Everything about this place is wonderful. I wish we could go more often. I highly recommend their charcuterie - so much of it is homemade, so you can't get it anywhere else! Take it to go and have a nice picnic at the park yummmm read more

Fantastic food. Very personable service. This is a hidden gem that is worth the drive!! read more

My husband and I love French cuisine, and this restaurant elivered beautifully. The staff treated us kindly and made us feel at home. I had the quiche Lorraine, and he ordered lamb chops-both dishes were sasoned and cooked to perfection. The intimate, classic setting with soft background music reminded us of our travels through France. read more

What a gem of a restaurant. Deeply flavored stews, coq-a-vin, crepes, freshly prepared veggies, price-fix menu, pleasant wine selections, freshly made desserts, 2 servers to get your dishes to you and lots of parking. Dishes seem cooked/prepared at order. I like their red and white tea towels that hold their special silverware. I swear it made eating an elevated event. I also noticed the exterior had beautiful metallurgy and the surrounding buildings were appropriate for the caliber of food here. Make sure to get a reservation just in case. read more

It was delicious!! Best bread I've tasted in a long time!! Escargot was great too! Chocolate mousse the best!!

Always an excellent meal! My husband and I enjoy the food at Allez so much, that we dine there once a week! The restaurant is very small and intimate, so you have to get there as soon as the doors open at 4 PM for the dinner rush. But, it is well worth it, and you will not be disappointed. The employees there are absolutely amazing and super friendly. A special shout out to Shane, Joy and Nadia! read more

Food-service and quaint ambiance all make for a memorable night out, consistently. The menu differs all the time based on seasonal offerings and the desserts are amazing! The wine selection is on point with enough variety to satisfy anyone. Try Allez! read more

Easily some of the best food available in El Dorado County. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and helpful and the interior is very cozy. What's not to love? Their daily prix fixe menu is a surprisingly good deal. For $32 you get a soup or salad, a well portioned entree, a dessert and a glass of wine. Everything we tried was phenomenal. We will absolutely be back when next in the area. read more

Allez has it all - authentic, classic French cusine, exceptional service and delightful ambiance. My husband and I fell in love with the Cassoulet Maison, Boeuf Bourguignon and Coq au Vin. The pastries were delicious as well. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

Allez is a cute, small French restaurant in Diamond Springs. My friends live near the area and thought it was a perfect spot for a girls dinner. Pros: there's plenty of parking, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. We ordered the escargot, rack of lamb, boeuf bourguignon, paella and the prawns martiniquais. My favorite was the escargot, the garlic herb butter was perfect with their loaf of bread. I must've ate a whole loaf by myself because it was so good. The desserts were made in house and the lemon tart was very refreshing. The boeuf biurguignon was on the saltier side by itself so I recommend ordering that with rice or mashed potatoes. Good portion sizes and each dish was seasoned just right. Cons: there's only a handful of tables so I recommend getting there early to grab a table. Cons: read more

Always a pleasure to go there. A tiny place but with lots of ambience of the small restaurants in France. Owners are friendly and welcoming to all their customers. They have a huge following in this area as a delectable place to eat. Always hugging their friends with warmth and kindness. If you want to experience a taste of France please go there! The food is Remarkable! Never been disappointed! I recommend this place to anyone who loves excellent food. So happy to live only a couple of miles away!! Get there early!!! It gets packed! They also have food to go and the desserts are delicious! See you soon read more

Stopped in last night for dessert after we had dinner elsewhere. Wanted to check the place out. My husband ordered the Belgian chocolate mousse which was delicious, and I had one of the shortbread tartlets (with chocolate, almonds, and caramel) it was also tasty. The tartlet is a small portion, but it was perfect for me and reasonably priced. If you wanted a bigger dessert you could always order a couple of them. The mousse was a larger portion that two lighter eaters could share. We ordered coffee with our dessert which seemed to be a good quality coffee, but their little French presses are kind of a mess. Tons of grounds in the cup which is not desirable when drinking coffee. Maybe need to get some different French presses or just go with a standard brewed coffee that you can serve folks with their dessert. The service was good, but it did seem like maybe they were a little understaffed. The two people working looked like they were running around a bit trying to keep up with everything. We scoped out the menu while we were there and will definitely be back to try some things. Looks like lunch is the best bang for your buck. I really want to try the pate! read more

Delightful! Intimate, informal setting. Legit French cuisine. Very reasonable price. Good French wine. A very enjoyable meal.

Went here for the first time for our anniversary. We have wanted to go for a while and it was wonderful!! Started with the escargot and it was so good. After that my husband had Cesar salad and I had the split pea soup. Both were amazing. For entrees we had the tri tip and chicken piccata. Both were great and for dessert it was the chocolate mousse. All in all a wonderful dinner and the staff treated us like gold. We can't wait to go back and we are so happy we found our "new" date night restaurant. and yeah to top it off it s super affordable. read more

This is the hidden gem of El Dorado County, I can't say enough good things about it. The food is the best, hands down, you should be paying hundreds of dollars a plate in a Michelin star restaurant for food this good. The service is very personable and always makes you feel welcome. The small farm cafe feel is great whether you want some amazing French cuisine after a hard days work or your going out for a special occasion, you never feel out of place. Everything on the menu is to die for, but some highlights are the beef bourguignon, seafood paella (especially if you ask for the spicy cream sauce with it), and if you really want the best of the best the rack of lamb. Any really good restaurant we go to is measured against Allez, and none are as excellent. read more

Not very tasty. Portions not good for prices. I was expecting a lot more flavor and presentation for a French restaurant.

Charming place. Friendly service. Affordable French food. Nice casual ambiance. We were in apple hill and Yelp suggested this lunch place. Came on Sat around 11:15 to beat the crowds since they don't take reservations. Luckily there were still quite a few tables when we arrived. The food was pretty good. My fav was the spicy shrimp. My coq au vin was tender and not too salty. Husband had the all day fixed menu and his broccoli potato soup was great. Too bad his meat was on the chewy side. (Cooked medium rare) The friendly waiter even surprised us with a secondary dessert. We will be back! read more

Escargot was delightful!! Live French cuisine, can t wait to try the crepe, they ran out this time

This is the best French food I've had in a long time I know Allez has been around for years but I haven't reviewed it and it really needs more attention It is a very quaint looking place and you need to look real closely because it blends in real well with all the other businesses in this little shopping semi-industrial center The restaurant is very homey and doesn't have many tables but does a great job with takeout hence the name Allez From their baguette sandwiches to their wonderful chicken dishes of which I forget at the moment (just bring up the menu) to the wonderful deserts there is nothing negative to say about Allez So Allez and get your tookis down there you will not be disappointed read more

We love this little spot in Diamond Springs. They make the perfect box lunch to take to wine country, including delicious baguette sandwich, cookie, homemade salad, Brie cheese and tart. Very nice staff with great service. Right now they have some cute tables set up in their parking lot for outdoor dining. We haven't had any other entrees but they look great. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Allez! Is divine! The ingredients are fresh, and the cuisine is very French. A great place to dine on the way to/from South Lake Tahoe, or while exploring the vast wine country in Amador and El Dorado counties. Definitely make room for dessert. read more

This place is my favorite restaurant in the whole area. We found it probably 5 years ago and have been coming regularly ever since. My favorite dish is the coq au vin- it's so so so delicious and it makes you feel so warm and full afterwards. I cannot say enough good things about the food there! Beware- there are only about 4/5 tables inside and 2/3 outside. There are no reservations so you just need to show up and hope there is space! Regardless the food and ambiance make up for any waiting you have to do. Bon appétit! read more

Really good food & wine Really affordable prefix menu and other items change weekly. The Accoustics on the front porch dining was strange and loud like I was eating with the other table and listening to there conversation and we definitely wanted to be outside so that's how it goes.

Was super excited to try here. Was talking to my husband about it for weeks! He stopped by to enquire about a Togo order and possible part time if they need it. The owner I'm assuming, looked him up and down and was so rude! Needless to say we didn't end up spending our money there. However I'm my pre excitement my best friend tried it. She said it was way over priced for the portion sizes, and they didn't season hardly anything. She also told me she felt uncomfortable as a lady (I assume to be the same one) gave her dirty looks I myself do not have a poker face but the RBF on this lady is out of this world! read more

My mouth is watering just thinking about the meal I had here the other day. I got the chicken & bacon sandwich "Lunch Box" and it came with a side of the freshest, most delicious, Mediterranean pasta salad. I finished it before I even took a bite of my sandwich! But once I did take a bite of the sandwich I was in absolute heaven. Super tasty chicken, incredible bacon, and the best house-made spread! My meal also included a wedge of cheese, the cutest baby cookie, and a dessert that I took home. I chose the lemon curd tart, fully intending to let my daughter have a taste, but once I tried it I knew I wasn't going to share it for anything! I was on the highest plane of true nirvana, so much so that I returned the next day to get more tarts (nearly collapsed in grief when I saw they weren't open) Allez! Has a wonderful menu with affordable prices and warm, friendly service. An excellent, family-run café that you'd be hard-pressed to find its equal. I'll be back. read more

Even small towns sport some of the best culinary surprises and Allez is a gem that is worth visiting whether it's for dine-in and definitely if you're looking for a to-go lunch option that is an incredible deal. Situated in a newer development at the crossroads in Diamond Springs, Allez is a small establishment with 5-6 tables, a bar, and a few patio seats. If you come during the dinner rush, you can expect to wait more than an hour for a seat. That's what happened to us even though we arrived just before 5:30pm. One hour and a half later, we were finally seated. The ambiance is cozy and quaint with B&W photographs of French football teams of yore and the prerequisite beret hanging off a coat hook. It's not kitschy; it's welcoming. If you dine-in for dinner, there is a great prix fixe 3 course menu for around $32. The food ranged from good to very food. Most notable in my mind was the beef bourguignon. It comes out piping hot. The beef is steeped with flavor, fork tender, and a delight with a side of mashed potatoes. The paella is a notable entree that will please many palates. The chicken and pasta was ok as was the fish. Perhaps the best deal of all is the lunch to go. We ordered that night and brought our boxes with us for lunch the next day. The sandwiches are sizeable with one side, a chunk of brie cheese, and 2 different desserts. The portions are generous and one box could probably even serve 2 people as a light meal. It's perfect for a wine tasting picnic or wherever your travel takes you in the county. Again, perhaps our most frustrating experience of the evening was the extended wait. Our wait for our table totaled 1.5 hours. Our wait to get our order placed exceeded 20 minutes. Then the wait for our food was another 20-30 minutes. Keep that in mind if you plan to dine in the restaurant. Take out may be a better option if you are compressed on time. read more
