    Above average, hidden jewel. It is on the lower level of a shopping center on Roswell Road. You will need to drive up in and down in to see it on the corner of the building. Once there, there is a group of people who know it well as it seems to have a crowd of regular smegulars. Great place to bring a friend or 2 and have lunch or the laptop and do a zoom meeting or catchup on some work with some authentic food. They even have desserts. I noticed a few people come in and just get something sweet and leave. I had planned to get my food to go but the atmosphere was so inviting that sat and stayed awhile. Food is good but it may not fit everyone's flavor palette. Salad and sandwich is safe if that is the case. Everything is made to order so it may take a minute to get your custom order out to you. This is not McDonalds but better. Come Cafe'.

    Food was amazing, staff is very very kind and patient. Really nice ambiance to get work done. I was here for a about 1.5hrs and had absolutely no problems, got all my work done on my laptop. Highly recommend

    Tuna French sandwich and French toast with eggs
    Luz L.

    The food was so flavorful and delicious, the bread was soft and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. I tried my friend's French toast and it was so fluffy and sweetened just right without having to put any syrup. The service was fast and staff were very friendly and polite. The sit down area is open and clean with beautiful natural light coming in. I will be coming here more often. This is honestly a hidden gem I'm glad I discovered.

    Some of the best croissants I've had in the States. Great chai latte, not too sweet like some places make it. Ambience is really pretty and cozy, would love to bring a book here to read. I will try the entrees next time.

    A terrible croque madame and a mediocre ham and cheese sandwich.
    Allen B.

    We had bought pastries from here before, so we decided to come back by for lunch. I ordered the croque madame. For those who don't know, a croque monsieur and croque madame need to be made extremely specifically to be even close to authentic. A croque monsieur is a sandwich with ham, a cream béchamel sauce, and cheese - typically a gruyere or similar. The sandwich is then topped with more béchamel and cheese, then broiled to melt and brown the cheese. It's creamy, savory and cheesy. A croque madame is exactly the same with an egg on top, typically sunny side up or over easy. What Café Vendôme served me what not, by any stretch of the imagination, a croque madame. The sandwich I was given had clearly never been near a béchamel sauce. What this sandwich had on it was ham and a tiny pinch of shredded cheese (mozzarella I think), then more cheese on top, then topped with an egg that somehow managed to be nearly burnt on the bottom and raw on top. I was immensely disappointed in this. However, I cannot give this 1 star because while it was no croque madame, the ham and cheese sandwich I got was edible. The bread was fine, the cheese was fine, the ham was fine. I ate it, but I wasn't happy with it. My verdict -- get the pain au chocolat, avoid the croques.

    Spent $14 for only 2 items. This was my first time coming here and I got to say that it was calm and welcoming, but the price and taste were not there for the food and drinks. Didn't live up to the Paris Standards _________________________________________________________ PARKING | [Parking was easy to find, even in a small complex building. The address will take you straight to the location and soon as you find the building, there should be plenty of spots to choose from; either in front of the building or in the open lots.] _________________________________________________________ EXTERIOR & INTERIOR | [The exterior of the building is in a small convenient shopping complex and is a little hidden in the back area (wish they were in the open more near the highway). Soon as you see the building, it is hard to miss the big red sign which is their logo. Soon as you walk in, the decor is pretty catered to the more urban, Paris look, which is what they are going for. They have plenty of seating to choose from whether it is inside or outside seating. You have some seating for comfort, traditional, or even bar style.] _________________________________________________________ IS IT CLEAN? | [For the most part, I have not seen a dirty spot anywhere in the store. It was pretty clean when I walked in and walked out.] _________________________________________________________ FOOD & DRINKS | [Here comes the important part which you want to note. The food and drink was delicious and it was good. However, for the price of $14 worth of just two items, which was pretty insane, it wasn't all that great or different from any other place. It was honestly a little disappointing that the chocolate croissant didn't live up for to the standard of its high price value of proximity $4-5. It was lacking the chocolate and croissant combination because it seemed like they wedge only two chocolate pieces in the croissant and just focused on baking the breading than focusing on the taste texture and uniqueness of the chocolate croissant. Now for the Almond Latte which was probably the more higher value item on the board which is around $8-9. For a coffee that is smooth, it was basic with no care. The latte should come with some ideal flavor or hit to give you a wow spectacular, but however, it tasted no different than a coffee that you would get at your local market. The foam on the latte is key to its success, even with design, but it didn't have the success nor design to live up to its standard. Coffee is the highlight of my day and if I am not satisfied by at least the coffee, then it has not gained my respect. When comes to a cafe, the coffee (at least) should be designed, tampered, and developed with care and respect, but however, this coffee was not given any respect at all.] _________________________________________________________ SERVICE ‍‍| [The service was quick and simple to the point.] _________________________________________________________ OVERALL | [Would I recommend this place? Only if you are wanting to see the interior of the building. For something that is so basic and has no spark, it is disappointing to the least that the shop doesn't put care into their coffee, more or less, create a memorable experience with their food. For a store that incorporates a more Paris -Style cafe, it is not the Paris-style cafe you are going to hope for.]

    Chocolate Almond Croissant
    Carlie M.

    Came here last week to pick up a croissant to go. I came in around 1pm. It wasn't too crowded and I was able to order quickly. A lot of the pastries were sold at this point in the day. I got the chocolate almond croissant to go. It was a bit pricey, but most pastries and croissants are these days. It was a large croissant! And very tasty. I warmed it up when I got home. I'd like to return to try their breakfast and coffee as well!

    We tried this place 3x. Once for pastry pickup for a get together with friends, that was the only good experience we had at Cafe V. The other 2 visits were not good. #1 coffee drinks are ordinary (given the price) ... look, I don't mind paying a high price for quality but if it isn't, that's just disappointing. Plus, we've been to France and are familiar with what they serve. On both occasions our food was substandard...he ordered breakfast each time...no good. The servers didn't seem to care either. I had a direct view of the kitchen, where I could see the workers eating and then plating the guests meals ... yikes!!! Which didn't make for an appetizing scene at all!!! Can you imagine??? I had only ordered a pastry during that visit ... still made me a little queasy. This is an honest assessment of my three visits ... perhaps yours will be different (I hope so). I really wanted this to be my go-to place and had high hopes. :-(

    Iced matcha
    Gwen P.

    First thing I thought of when we sat down is it reminded me of a hotel lobby cafe, but some people had their laptops out working so I guess it's a good place to study or do work. The drinks: Latte was decent. Matcha latte was not great, but should've known to not order a matcha latte at a French-style cafe. The food: we got 3 tartelettes, 1 croque monsieur (not pictured), a hot latte, and an iced matcha. I wish I'd taken a pic of the croque monsieur bc it was the saddest sandwich for $15 I've seen in awhile. The bread was super thin and the cheese melted on top seemed super artificial. There wasn't much meat in the sandwich either. The tartelettes were alright. The best one was probably the almond one on the top left bc it had a raspberry jam inside it. All in all, we spent $50+ at this place and regretted it. Maybe if you want a coffee and a quick pastry this is a fine place to stop by. But otherwise, nope.

    Delicious sandwich. Okay potatoes.

    Michelin Star Little Sparrow is one of those restaurants I look forward to whenever I'm back in…read moreAtlanta. It captures that wonderful Parisian brasserie feeling without trying too hard--the banquettes, heavy drapes, soft lighting, beautiful tableware and attentive service. Everything feels considered. And then there's the food. The menu is small, the prices are not, but they execute what they do exceptionally well. I was tucked into a beautiful banquette and taken care of by Keenan, who was lovely throughout dinner--warm, polished, knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. First things first: do not skip the bread service. The warm levain baguette arrives wrapped in Little Sparrow-branded paper with their gorgeous butter, EVOO and Maldon salt. It sounds simple. It isn't. That butter sitting in fragrant olive oil with those little pops of sea salt, smeared onto hot, crusty bread? Heaven. Sometimes the simplest things tell you everything you need to know about a kitchen. My usual order here is the chicken schnitzel, which I love, but I promised myself I would branch out. I ordered the Cabillaud Frites--cod with tartar sauce--and Little Sparrow's interpretation of fish and chips is anything but ordinary. The cod arrived as beautifully fried little rounds with a deeply golden, crisp exterior and tender, delicate fish inside. Hot, crunchy, moist, perfectly cooked. The house tartar sauce was delicious. And because apparently I needed more decadence, Keenan brought me garlic aioli for the frites. Yes, please. And those frites. Lordy. Crisp, deeply savory and dangerously easy to keep eating long after you've told yourself you're finished. Dip one into that garlic aioli and good luck stopping. I skipped cocktails this time because I was saving precious real estate for dessert. I usually order the chocolate soufflé, although I continue to wish they would rotate the soufflé flavors. Give me Grand Marnier! And at $22, that soufflé is definitely an investment in dessert theater. Instead, I took the coconut cake back to my hotel. Unfortunately, this was the one miss of the evening. It was overwhelmingly sweet and lacked the richness and complexity I expected from a kitchen operating at this level. It tasted surprisingly ordinary compared with everything that preceded it. I'd skip it next time and return to the soufflé. That small disappointment doesn't change how I feel about Little Sparrow. The dining room is beautiful. The service feels polished and gracious. Even the restrooms and little sitting area carry through the aesthetic. There is an attention to detail here that I appreciate--from the china and menus to the lighting and presentation. Little Sparrow isn't inexpensive, but I don't come here looking for inexpensive. I come because they take seemingly familiar French dishes, focus on technique and ingredients, and make them memorable. If you're anywhere near Atlanta's Westside or the Design District--or frankly, even if you're not--make the detour. Make a reservation, settle into a banquette, order the bread, and get some of that food in your face. Life is too short not to eat well. Get out there and find your next meal.

The mussels are always fresh, although their size can vary, sometimes they're large, and other times they're quite small. They used to allow parking in the back, but now it's valet or street parking only. The valet service is complimentary, you just tip the valet attendant, and they accept Venmo. My boyfriend enjoys their beer selection. I've had consistently good experiences with the food menu, but I find the mocktails to be just average. They tend to be more fizzy and soda-like than flavorful. I imagine their cocktails and wine are probably a better choice. They used to have complimentary bread. Now the bread is a menu item. The outdoor seating is very nice, although it can get a little hot during the summer. They have both ceiling fans and standing fans to help keep things comfortable. The only downside is the number of flies. We constantly had to wave them away from our food. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The only minor issue happened at the end of our meal. We ordered a large dessert and asked if they happened to have chocolate ice cream. The server said he would check with the kitchen. However, before coming back to confirm, he brought us the chocolate ice cream as if we had already ordered it. Since it was already served, we didn't feel comfortable sending it back, and ice cream isn't exactly something you can take home. We ended up eating it even though we were already very full. Aside from that small misunderstanding, we had a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, the service is friendly, and it's a restaurant I would definitely recommend.

Creative and tasty. 3. Smoked carrots. The version I had was served with orange yogurt and topped with pepper relish. It had both red and purple carrots, which provided different flavors. I also liked the idea of pairing creamy yogurt with the sweet & crunchy carrots. 4. Grilled oysters. Served with diced piquillo & onions over grilled Pan Cristal pieces. Savory and slightly sweet & sour. 5. Cordero. Grilled lamb chops served with harrissa, eggplant escabeche and smoked tomato puree. They grilled the chops, sliced the meat from the bone, then grilled the bone again, so that the sliced meat was quite tender, while the meat on the bone was quite crispy. The smoked tomato puree was smoky and paired well with the chops. The eggplant added some freshness to the dish. Plus, I really like the plating of this dish. 6. Grilled Branzino. This dish was priced by weight. About 1lb so shareable for two. The fish was butterflied and grilled until the skin (and even bones) were quite crispy. The sauce was refreshing and delicious as well. 7. Arroz Cremoso. Similar to risotto. At first it was too salty for me; my server asked the kitchen to remake it and the second one was good.

Simple and beautifully executed. * Le Croque Monsieur: A must if you're hungrier! Essentially a croque madame with a sunny-side-up egg on top... just wow. And the fries are perfection. * Chocolate mousse: Light and a lovely way to finish the meal. Almost like a little palate cleanser after lunch. * Wine: Great wine list. Naturally, we went with Sancerre because that's my go-to. And then Gordon took the experience to another level... My mom had brought a card for my husband and me that said "Happy Anniversary." We never mentioned it to anyone and kept it tucked away, but Gordon happened to notice it. When dessert arrived, he had chocolate syrup written to say "Happy Anniversary," complete with candle sparklers. We were completely caught off guard. That level of observation and thoughtfulness is what memorable hospitality looks like. I'll also acknowledge that I had some hesitation coming back. I had a reservation here a few years ago and was turned away because I was wearing jeans, which honestly left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Le Bilboquet is undeniably high-end and clearly makes an effort to curate its atmosphere and clientele, which I can respect, even if that particular experience was disappointing. After giving it another shot, I'm really glad I did. This lunch was lovely from start to finish. I also noticed several guests wearing jeans this time around, so perhaps the dress code has relaxed a bit. Bottom line: Refined, polished, excellent food and genuinely exceptional hospitality. If you've written Le Bilboquet off based on an old experience or some of the negative press over the years, I'd say it's worth giving another shot. I'm glad I did!

    Le Bilboquet never disappoints, but this meal was truly outstanding. The atmosphere is…read morequintessential Parisian chic--vibrant, elegant, and bustling--making it such a lovely spot for a relaxed yet upscale lunch or dinner in Buckhead. Every single dish was executed to perfection: Vichyssoise / Chilled Green Soup: Smooth, vibrant, and incredibly refreshing--the perfect light starter with beautifully balanced flavors. Warm Lentil Salad: Perfectly cooked french lentils topped with a poached egg and crisp frisée. Cut open that egg, mix it with the mustardy dressing, and every bite is rich, earthy perfection. Pan-Seared Salmon: Crispy, golden sear on the outside, flawlessly tender and flaky on the inside. Served alongside fresh heirloom cherry tomatoes and tender green and wax beans, it felt light, fresh, and indulgent all at once. The service was impeccable--attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and wonderfully welcoming. If you're looking for authentic classic French bistro cuisine with an upscale, lively atmosphere in Atlanta, Le Bilboquet is a top-tier choice. Can't wait to come back!

    My friends and I enjoyed a Saturday morning brunch at Tiny Lou's. I've visited the restaurant for…read moredinner last year and the server told us to try the brunch. I'm so glad we did. When we arrived, the valet received our vehicle and let us know parking is $5 with validation from the restaurant. I was able to easily secure our reservation on open table. We were greeted by a very sweet hostess, who asked each person in our party about food allergies and put the notes in for the server. We were seated next to a sunny window and the server quickly welcomed us. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and even went and found some hot tea for me. We enjoyed all of our food and the portions were so generous that most of us took food home. We look forward to returning.

    We were so excited to try Tiny Lou's great ambiance, cozy tables. Makes you wanna order a cocktail…read moreor three and splurge. However ... five of us made a reservation, for 5:30, our plan was to eat a celebratory birthday dinner ( two birthdays) then catch the sunset on the roof. We should've known there would be issues from the drink order: A vodka tonic order yielded a vodka soda even after she confirmed he wanted tonic, not soda. The other drinks came out at different times. We ordered bread and our salads and entrees. Then the server brought out a plate of deviled eggs " a gift from the chef!" How nice. They were good, we appreciated it. Our entrees were OK: Short ribs were rich and meaty, redfish was good but a bit overcooked and dried out, pork was OK, mussels were good, but the bread wasn't grillled and was slathered with almost inedibly salty garlic butter. The salads were meh. We had wine and water and asked for our checks so we could make sunset. She brought back one check for two couples and a single. We asked if she could split it. She came back a few minutes later, after we sent the birthday folks to the roof for sunset, she said we could "just throw a card down" for the combined check. We reminded her that we wanted to split the check. She completely forgot. Several minutes later, we go our checks. Those deviled eggs that were supposed to be a "a gift from the chef?" They were on one of the checks. Thanks so much for the gift. Anyway, we quickly paid and made it upstairs before the sun was below the horizon. The roof is awesome. But Tiny Lou's is a one and done. Not worth the price. Not special. Would rather just eat at home post-sunset.
