    34. Smoked Salmon with Sun Dried Tomato, Fresh Avocado and Egg Crepe
    Ashley Z.

    Just visited Au Bon Lieu and was very impressed with the quality of the food and large menu selection. We absolutely loved the outdoor seating area, it reminded us of European dining. The owner was very friendly and kind. We will absolutely be back

    Highly recommend this for a nice little breakfast or lunch. The service is fantastic, they are so kind and accommodating. The food and coffee was terrific. Reading the owners story on the menu really warmed my heart too, was glad to support local family owned business!

    When I walked in, I loved the cozy atmosphere. The staff was friendly and handed us menus. I ordered the milk chocolate crepe with bananas. It was delicious and very tasty. I would definitely recommend coming here. Not pricey either! Also, they have chalk on all the tables to draw on. So fun!

    A no frills, unassuming hole in the wall and one of few breakfast dining establishments open at 10am on a Saturday in downtown Harrisburg. We scanned the menu and then filled out our order using the numbers assigned to each menu item. Our crepes were delicious and served with fresh ingredients. The cafe is very cozy and offers indoor and outdoor seating for roughly up to 20 people. I would recommend Au Bon Lieu to anyone looking for delicious sweet or savory options at a cheap price and convenient service!

    Crepes and a salad

    I went to get a crepe and everything was served on paper plates. It was ghetto and the people who worked there seemed bothered and the kid was running around yelling the whole time. My dressing was dripping off the plate on my salad. It was not good and I wouldn't recommend esp for a date. Not at all what I expected or expect to get at a restaurant.

    Nasty and disgusting. I worked there. Not recommaded. Food not prepped right and not stored right. Surfaces always dirty. And more....

    Banana Nutella crepe and 10. Chicken with Mozzarella, Tomato and Pesto
    Diana A.

    The location was small but very chill vibe to it. The person who took our order and made our food was very nice. The chicken, mozzarella, with pesto crepe was very good. The banana with Nutella wasn't anything special it was decent. The sad part is we went back the next day to get the chicken mozzarella with pesto crepe again. It showed they would open at 10am, we arrive at 10:15am and they were closed. Not sure if maybe the owner had an emergency or something but it was disappointing.

    What a cozy and cute spot. I feel like it would be a great spot to take a date too to get the night started. A bit on the pricey side but its different so it's worth the few extra dollars. I had a Savory Crepes (Crêpes Salées) Chicken (Poulet et Dinde) - Chicken, artichoke, olives, Mozzarella, and it was a simple pleasure. I enjoyed it as I watched all the weirdos of Harrisburg walk buy and believe me, there's a lot of them around here.

    Cute place, fast service and even better food . Small but a few seats outside. Im not a crepe fan but became one since my visit. I bet they get slammed with take out business .savory and sweet choices are all great . Had one of each and was sold on them .Husband and wife business and they hustle every second .

    Adorable little crêperie on Third Street in downtown Harrisburg. Very cozy upon walking in. Grab a comfy seat by the window and enjoy a hot or cold beverage and a savory or sweet crepe. There are only about 6 tables in here so it is very small, but as stated above, very cozy. The benches are lined with faux fur and there are some throw pillows near the window seats. I ordered a crepe with milk chocolate and strawberry and my friend had the banana and milk chocolate. We cut them down the middle and shared with each other. Our only complaint was that we didn't think they had enough fruit in them, but we talked to the gentleman who served us and he told us we should've told him and he would've given us more. Good to know. We also both ordered coffees and although it had a good flavor, I thought it was very strong but my friend seemed to like it. Prices are moderate for what you get. You will pay $5 and up for crepes (see pics for size). The coffee was $3 in a ceramic mug--we weren't offered refills, so I don't know if they give them.

    Very nice owner but the crepes were not very good in my opinion, I hate to say. The place itself is also tiny with all paper products.

    Okay, I see you, Lancaster. If there's one restaurant to allure the Michelin guide to Lancaster,…read moreit's Josephine's near the famous Central Market. Joining for dinner on a Thursday evening in July, here's my experience. 1) Food: The chef and pastry chef take their jobs seriously. Every dish was unique, full of flavor, beautiful, and worth every dollar. To start, they bring out homemade bread made fresh every morning with salted butter. I ordered the special- five jumbo shrimp with smoked garlic aioli. (They have cocktail sauce if you want it, but the garlic is phenomenal.) Before the main came out, the chef brought over the gazpacho using vegetables from his garden. The soup was thicker than I'm used to, but it paired perfectly with the vegetables. It was delicious! The scallops for the main were perfectly cooked and worked with the sauce in the middle of the plate and the green sauce on top of each scallop. Another winner! The lemon custard was refreshing for dessert. It's presented so well where you uncover more layers with each bite. 2) Drinks: They have a full cocktail menu with drinks named after famous people, wine, beer, and mocktails. Enjoying more sweet drinks, I ordered the "Marilyn Monroe." It was a fun drink, but a little too sweet for me. If you like berry and sweet drinks, you'll love it! 3) Service: It's excellent from start to finish. My server Tate was friendly, passionate about the menu, and efficient. His timing with everything was impeccable. 4) Space: It's beautiful. Despite on the basement level, it's lit well with photos of famous icons on the walls. It's iconic!

Great service like that still matters. Bird went with the crab cake and was already planning her next visit halfway through dinner. I started with the shrimp cocktail, followed by the Caesar salad and filet, all outstanding. Everything was paced perfectly and cooked exactly right. And then came dessert...which somehow topped everything else. Incredible way to finish the night. Between the food, atmosphere, and service, it was the perfect spot to celebrate 20 years, plenty of laughs, good memories, and another adventure for the books. Highly recommend.

Pretty empty outside only us and one other table of customers. The server tells my daughter that she has to sit across the way on a public bench away from their restaurant because she has a food item that isn't purchased from their establishment. I couldn't believe it. My daughter (who already ate more than half) goes and sits away from her parents and when she finishes comes back crying and so visibly upset at what just occurred. This was our first visit. Why no warning for the next time? Who treats their customers like this? Especially people with special needs. And my husband did tell the female server that she did have special needs. She said ok but obviously didn't care. Right next to our table there was cheerios scattered on the ground which no one swept up and was inviting ants. I didn't know they sell cheerios.

Although she did…read morecheck-in with us regarding our appetizer, she was too preoccupied to check-in regarding our entree, due to her being the only staff in the dining area catering to 4 different tables; understandable but didn't leave us the opportunity to address our issues with the entree (which will be highlighted below) until we paid for our bill and came across someone else by happenstance. The aesthetics were elegant and on the dimmer side, especially if you're seating at the corner tables away from the light, we recommend sitting closer to the light or by the entrance if there's still light out. We really loved the crab croquettes appetizer, which had a perfectly crispy exterior that complimented perfectly with the moist interior mixture of potato and crab that paired very well with the aioli. The crispy potato that accompanied the NY strip was perfectly balanced as well, with the crispiest exterior that I ever had with a potato dish! Unfortunately that was the highlight to the entire dish, for the strip was extremely lean without any fat or marbling to help balance out the leanness of the steak (which is evident in the attached photos below). Usually a NY strip, even if grass fed, would still have a strip of fat on the outer layer, but ours did not have any at all, which you can see from all slices we've made. We weren't hoping for ribeye-quality fats at all, but just one that wasn't completely lean. The creamed spinach was also quite bitter and watery, which definitely diluted its creaminess unfortunately; you can see from the photo the wateriness in the creamed spinach where the cream began separating. We love their menu and the restaurant's elegant vibe, as well as how beautifully the food was presented, but unfortunately we were left disappointed by our main entree. I highly recommend their crab croquettes so please give that a try if you can, I promise you won't regret it! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Floors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in days, tables were sticky, and the whole place had this gross, stale smell that hit you right in the face. Not "quirky café smell." I mean bad -- the kind of smell that makes you wonder what's rotting and where. Then instead of taking your order like a normal restaurant, they hand you a little slip of paper and make you write your own order. It's ridiculous. If I wanted to do the staff's job, I'd ask for a paycheck. Service was painfully slow, mostly because the chef spent half the time talking instead of cooking. Just standing around chatting while people waited. I don't care how friendly you are -- cook the food. That's literally the job. When the crepes finally came out, they were served on paper plates with plastic forks. And look, I'm not fancy, but if you're charging real restaurant prices, maybe don't serve food like it's a kid's birthday party in a church basement. And the food? Mid. Basic. Bland. Nothing special. Definitely not worth the price. It tasted like someone followed the most generic crepe recipe possible and didn't bother to add anything that would make it memorable. Overpriced for what it was, and honestly the whole experience made it taste worse. Everything about this place felt lazy -- the cleanliness, the setup, the service, the food. It's like they're doing the bare minimum and hoping no one notices. I noticed. Hard pass. I wouldn't go back even if it were free.

The theme is fun, but strained. They have Paris-style love locks, American music with French lyrics, little french flags, and wall hangings in French. I even spotted a print that was also used by HiWay Pizza. It does seem a bit forced since they didn't update the seating after taking over from Baby's. As such, those old booths with duct-tape repaired cushions are still there. They really need to strip out the old seating and do an update. All they did was add some blue paint to the existing red and white theme in terms of actual renovation. The rest are just different decorations. And if that wasn't awkward enough, they have number locks on the bathroom doors. This isn't a city with a vagrant problem, it's Happy Valley. Oeuf Bouef et Bacon seems to be just a restaurant owner flip instead of a genuine renovation. Food is somewhat decent, but nothing special. Their waffle is good. It's not much of a French item, so I opted for butter and syrup instead of the jam. They give you one packet of syrup and two packs of butter, which is not enough. But packets? Really? I guess the one thing they inherited from Baby's is the diner mentality? Side of bacon was good, but they only give you two strips. I also tried the lemon glaze crullers, which left me really disappointed. They had that bad fried taste; perhaps their oil was not hot enough and/or hasn't been changed in a while? The cruller batter wasn't even good anyways, since it lacked that light & fluffy consistency. No cruller egg taste either. These might as well just be sold as fried dough. Yuck. I really wanted this place to have better food. I would have wanted to try more on their menu, including coeur de palmier (typoed as couer on the menu), croissants, and their french onion soup. But my first experience will probably be my last. I'd much rather enjoy a breakfast at the Waffle Shop (that's getting more and more expensive), than to eat here again. Ultimately I think the most painful nail in the coffin of this restaurant is its menu. It lacks innovation. I enjoyed my trip to France years ago, especially the small towns and country side since Paris is too much of a tourist trap. And I really miss the food. I'm no expert on the French cuisine, but I did get to try it for a couple weeks. So I was a little perplexed by the odd French menu choices mixed in with regular American items. For example, a typical French breakfast is rather light: croissant or pain au chocolat with tea or a cafe au lait. French toast isn't really "French". As for their lunch options, they don't reflect a typical French lunch. If it was more authentic, we'd see a multi-course meal instead of single entrees. I'm not expecting Michelin star restaurants in State College, but if a joint advertises itself as French, I'd expect it to give us a little taste of traditional French cuisine. But nah, this is some sort of weird fusion without saying it's fusion. If you can find a favorite here, then at least their prices are good. For me, I doubt I'd be bringing anyone else here.
