We made it just in time because there was no wait and the restaurant wasn't crowded yet. We were greeted by Connor, who was a pleasure to have as our server. He made great recommendations and gave us his honest opinions about the food and drinks, which we really appreciated. I had the citrus chicken, while my family ordered the mushroom ravioli and spaghetti. Everything was delicious, and the fresh-squeezed lemonade was wonderful! I also tried a lavender mocktail. It was okay, although I think it may have tasted better as a cocktail. By the time we were ready to leave, there was a wait, so we were glad we arrived when we did. There is also plenty of outdoor seating if you prefer to dine outside. We really enjoyed the flavorful dishes, the friendly service, and the overall experience. We'll definitely be back again!

Nothing special with the escargot, but it was still delicious. The crispy brussel sprouts were good, but the balsamic glaze through my family off lol, but I still loved it. Nothing special about the pepperoni pizza at all. The melted Raclette was really fancy and delicious. They came out with melted cheese and scraped it onto our bread and prosciutto. Palo Alto dip was weird, but pretty good too. I don't think I've ever eaten anything like that. The bow tie pasta was ok. The Citrus Chicken and Beef Bourguigon were very tasty and flavorful. Overall, a bit pricey, but the food portions were generous and the quality on some of these dishes were worth it. The staff here were fast and friendly. Lots of tables to dine at to include outside in a tent, buuut it's summer so indoor sounds better lol. Lots of parking as well.

She ordered from the "Restaurant Week" menu and enjoyed each course (the creme brulee was the right consistency). My m-i-l's Branzino was cooked perfectly, and her birthday profiteroles left her smiling. I went simple with their cheeseburger and fries, and French Onion soup as a side, and was not disappointed. The burger was cooked to my liking (rare to medium rare). Their aioli makes simple fries a classy experience. The soup was cheesy, savory, and nice and hot. Our server, Marc, did an excellent job, even though we all ended up feeling a little overwhelmed by our options. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Our server was very attentive, and the ambiance was perfect. Drinks were made well, and I was able to order off-menu for my go-to cocktail, a manhattan.

There's an empty lot next door for parking as well as some street parking, but both are pretty limited and hard to come by. If you can Uber, I recommend it. The outdoor tent setup is really pretty and feels like a romantic date night and the main dining experience, while the inside is much more basic, but air conditioned. We were seated indoors which was good since it had just rained and the weather was quite muggy. Our unfriendly waiter (so French) came over right away to take drink orders. Our group consisted of one beer drinker, one cocktail sipper, one soda guzzler and one water drinker. The drinks were very good. For appetizers we started with the grilled octopus and escargots, both of which were delicious and the stars of the meal. For entrees two of us ordered the steak frites, also ordered bolognese, and côte de porc. Nothing was bad at all, but nothing really stood out either. For dessert we tried the crème brûlée and chocolate ganache, which were fine to finish the meal. If you go, definitely get the grilled Spanish octopus, that was the standout dish for me. For a party of four, our bill came out to $360 plus the tip. I'm glad I finally tried it, but with the higher prices and kind of average food, I don't feel a strong urge to come back anytime soon. Maybe in good weather I would uber over for some drinks and great appetizers.

Five words. OBSCENELY OVERPRICED AND ABSOLUTE SLOP…read more AVOID THIS PLACE!!! My rating is a NEGATIVE 10, however that choice is not available. Sam L. is correct in his review. It bears repeating. OBSCENELY OVERPRICED AND ABSOLUTE SLOP. I went there for my birthday, and I need a redo of my birthday. I cannot comprehend how ANYONE could rate this as not poison. I was sick during the night from this food. It was just awful. The only good item was the fresh baguette that was served with the escargots. The escargots were flavourless and obscenely overpriced. I requested salt. It did little to redeem them. I had the absurdly overpriced duck - $45. It was flavourless, dry as a bone, miniscule in size, served with frisée (awful), and an overabundance of roasted potatoes. $45 for this is a crime. I would not serve this to a starving stray dog. The plate was clearly designed to extract maximum profit for a tiny strip of dry duck. The fat on the duck was equivalent to to the minimal amount of protein. My dinner companion and I ordered pomme frites as a side. We imagined that it would be a reasonably sized side plate. They brought a TUB. It was a serving bowl size. We commented about this and the staff say that they like to 'make sure that people are fed'. I certainly appreciate the sentiment, but oh my, not THIS place. I had the special desert. Nope. It was an abysmal failure. It was supposed to be a coconut rice pudding with mango sauce. It was served with a flavourless piece of millefeuille on top. Pointless. The rice pudding and mango sauce were pre-cooking school level. Again I revisit the pricing on this. Criminal. I was out with a friend who was kind and generous enough to take me out for my birthday, so I put on a brave face. This place should shut down immediately. It is a revolting excuse for food. Actual excellent french food can be found in NY for FAR less than these prices. I will cook a french meal (satisfying and delicious) for any person who disagrees. This place is a trashcan. PLEASE I beg of you, do NOT waste your money! Stay home and cook, or take me up on my offer.

Don't let the outside--or even the inside--fool you. La Frite Belgian Bistro may not look like…read moreanything fancy at first glance, but sometimes the best dining experiences come from the places you least expect. Normally, when you walk into a restaurant during peak dinner hours, around 5:30 PM, and see only two other customers, you might start questioning whether you made a mistake. Well, not this time! When I walked in, there was no hostess waiting to seat me. You simply find a table that's available and make yourself comfortable. Fortunately, that wasn't exactly difficult this time around--the place was practically empty. La Frite offers a daily prix fixe menu for around $43, and I decided to give it a try. It started with a carrot soup. Now, let me be clear: I hate carrots! But somehow, this was one of the best soups I've ever had. Creamy, flavorful, and surprisingly delicious. If you can make someone who hates carrots enjoy carrot soup, you're doing something right! For my entrée, I went with the Steak Diane served with frites. Hmm... hmm... hmmm. That's honestly all I can say! The steak was delicious, the sauce was packed with flavor, and the frites were the perfect accompaniment. Dessert was chocolate, and it was just as satisfying as the rest of the meal. Overall, both the food and service exceeded my expectations. This is definitely one of those restaurants where you shouldn't judge the book by its cover. The unassuming atmosphere might make you hesitate when you first walk in, but the kitchen is clearly serious about the food. The only downside for me was the Belgian beer I ordered. It was very good, but definitely on the pricey side. Would I come back? Absolutely. If you're in San Antonio and looking for something different, give La Frite Belgian Bistro a try. Don't let the empty dining room fool you--there's some seriously good food coming out of that kitchen!

The intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and authentic Belgian fare create a memorable dining experience every time.

The croissant was everything a croissant should be--beautifully laminated, impossibly flaky, buttery, and so light that it melted away with each bite. But the true star for me was the lemon meringue tart. It was genuinely life-changing, striking the perfect balance between bright citrusy tartness and just the right amount of sweetness. Every bite was thoughtfully crafted. What really sets Saveurs 209 apart is the attention to detail. The pastry flavors feel intentional and refined, never overdone. Even the staff speaking French adds an extra layer of authenticity that adds to the experience. If you're craving delicious pastries, Saveurs 209 is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the display case.
