Dining here is always an unforgettable experience. Everything is amazing, from the beautifully prepared dishes to the impeccable service. It truly shows the care, passion, and quality behind this restaurant. The restaurant has a great number of staff members, and throughout the entire meal, the service was attentive and thoughtful. One small detail that really impressed me was that after I took just one sip of water, someone noticed and refilled my glass within seconds. It's these little touches that show their professionalism and dedication. Every dish was delicious, with fresh ingredients and excellent flavors. The atmosphere is elegant, clean, and comfortable, and the entire team is professional and welcoming. The food, the ambiance, and the service are all outstanding. This is definitely a place I would love to visit again. read more

1,00,000,000 STARS!!!!! La Goulue absolutely blew me away. I will remember this meal experience FOREVER! The ambiance was dimly lit and romantic! As the night progressed, it did get busier. James was our server. He was exceptional. He provided us with purse hooks the minute we sat down at our table which I found to be a nice touch. He took my friend and I on a unique culinary journey that neither of us will ever forget! His hard work throughout the evening was beyond apparent. He was patient, kind, accommodating and comical! He helped my friend and I make decisions regarding the menu and I love when servers give raw honesty about the dishes on the menu. We started off with the Le Souffle Au Fromage which is the award winning signature dish since the year 1972 believe it or not! It was a doughy, light consistency made of Gruyère cheese, Parmesan, white truffle oil and it came with a small side garden salad. This dish is an absolute must if you're visiting La Goulue for the first time. We also ordered a cheese board which came with about 5 different cheeses, nuts, apples, purple grapes, and crunchy warm bread. We opted for version without salami. James recommended us to order a steak item that was NOT included on the normal menu. He told us it's recommended to order as medium rare. It came with string beans, grilled onions on top and potatoes au gratin. The food was so fresh and delicious!!! We ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert which was perfect as it was pretty light. When I left I didn't feel extremely full or uncomfortable. I will DEFINITELY be back soon! read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant because I've heard so many good things about it. I finally came here for work lunch and they have so many delicious options on the menu. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. To start off they gave us a sourdough bread and butter. I ordered the lobster roll on toasted brioche with side of truffle fries ($48). It was honestly the best lobster roll and fries I've ever had! The sauce added so much flavor and made the dish even more amazing. My friend ordered the mussels with a side of fries and shared some with me. They were so good too! Our server was also the best, very attentive and friendly. So glad I went! Really enjoyed it. read more

Amazing everything great experience! This place has multiple servers and really takes care of you. I would take a sip of water and they were refilling my glass within seconds. We had the mussels and you have to dunk it in the sauce on the bottom. If not they taste plain. We ordered the lamb, lobster pasta, cheeseburger and steaks. The only one not good was the trout. I had them add the Parmesan truffles to my fries and wow! For dessert we ordered the chocolate mousse and the 3 ice cream looking with chocolate everywhere was very good. The place is very elegant and well kept. A very large staff for top service! read more

Went to La Goulue with a friend and had a really nice experience overall. We kept it light and ordered the charcuterie board and foie gras which were both well done and perfect for sharing. Everything felt very classic French -- simple, flavorful, and nicely presented. The atmosphere is what really stands out here. It definitely gives that chic Palm Beach energy without feeling stuffy. Great spot for catching up with a friend or a relaxed night out that still feels a little fancy. Service was attentive and professional, and while prices are on the higher side, that's kind of expected for the location and vibe. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're in the mood for French bites, wine, and a polished dining experience. I'd come back to try more of the menu. read more

Easy valet parking in front. As we arrived early at around 5:30pm, we were seated quickly and the staff was super attentive, The restaurant got busy closer to 7pm. We ordered from their Flavor South Florida menu, with the addition of some escargot (which are absolutely delicious here). Although I wasn't a fan of my heirloom tomato salad appetizer which featured some overly mushy and heavily salted slices, the rest of the meal was excellent. The sea bream en Papillote was superb. I especially enjoyed the chocolate mouse as well. I like the French bistro feel to the restaurant and the seating is fine - not overly comfortable, but better than many places. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We've enjoyed eating here previously and will return. read more

A great experience. We initially dined because they offered caviar and ordered a few other items on the menu. Our waitress was pleasant and very accommodating since we had a little one with us. I will however warn anyone who doesn't like loud spaces that everyone's voices echo in here despite it being an intimate space. read more

Great food, great service and lovely setting, particularly outside. The waiter was thoroughly charming, attentive and fully engaged.

LA Goulue was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of authentic French flavor. We started with the escargot, foie gras, frogs legs, and the caviar tasting. Each one was outstandingly and expertly executed. The service was warm, attentive and professional without feeling overbearing. The atmosphere was elegant, lively, and quintessential Palm Beach, making it the perfect setting for a special night out. We can't wait to return! read more

At first we were a little tense due to traffic due to the boat show. I do recommend calling ahead, as we did but they are very strict with the 15 min grace period. Once seated my mom and I ordered drinks. Would love to see some house mocktails, since they have the best cocktails and very knowledgeable creative bartenders. This place is definitely worth asking for recommendations, especially the cocktails. We had beautiful weather for a tropical French brasserie. I had the escargot and the snails were a perfect size. Definitely use the toast. My mom had the Scallops St. Jacques which are beautifully plated and the caviar bump on each of the scallops. I had the Maine lobster linguini. It was so flavorful with large chunks of lobster. The linguini was obviously freshly made. I highly recommend this dish. Dessert is a must. The crepes Suzette was served flambé. The flavor was authentic but not too sweet. The profiteroles are huge. My mom barely tackled one. I highly recommend the C'est La Vie and Millionaire (off menu, so may not be available). This is one of my favorite PBI spots and the valet is perfect. Enjoy the ambiance with a table on the edge but inside. read more

This is a special place. Not a grab a bit place. You go here purposefully. We started with a special which was smoked branzino dip, served with cornichons, pickled onions, and 4 pieces of toasted French bread chunks. It was very good. The mound/large scoop of fish was a bit too much for the bread, but we still had the crusty bread they bring to the table and used some of that. Brought home almost half of it, though, Would have been perfect had we shared it among 4 people. We ordered the cheese soufflé, without the truffle oil. This was the thing to order. Wow. The consistency was perfect. Like a sponge. The taste was perfect too This is the one thing I would get any time I come here. Which I hope to do again soon. What a treat. Fabulous. We also got the salad with barely cooked tuna I couldn't eat any of that and my friend had some. We plan to split that for dinner. Portions are generous, though had we skipped the app, we may have been able to eat both entrees. Service was perfect. Atmosphere is quite similar to a Paris bistro. Seats outside also. Even in our seats, the door/windows were opened wide so it was as though we were outside. You can see what I mean in the photo. My friend got a mimosa and we drank Evian because my friend says that FL water is awful. So nice. Very special time there. Special place truly. read more

Everything was great. Food was DELICIOUS and we got a lot! Crab cakes as a special, escargot, steak tartare, beef bourguignon and the filet. Our waitress Mahrina B was so kind and attentive - checking in on us without being too much which is hard to do coming from someone who's worked in restaurants. My only small complaint was the tight quarters are table was at. Luckily we had friendly neighbors we ended up chatting with but it was difficult getting up from my seat and would've appreciated some more space. Will still love to return to this amazing restaurant when I visit Palm Beach! read more

Exceptional ambiance , food and service . We had the best experience . Thank you! We will be back

Hands down the best French food I've ever had outside of France. Everything about La Goulue feels authentic -- from the warmth of the staff to the perfectly executed classics that somehow taste even better under the Palm Beach sun. The atmosphere strikes that chic Parisian-bistro note without trying too hard, making it both elegant and inviting. Every dish was exceptional -- the onion soup, steak frites, and soufflé were absolute standouts. Service was attentive and professional, and the wine list complements the menu beautifully. It's become an automatic stop for me every time I'm in town. La Goulue isn't just a great restaurant -- it's a Palm Beach essential. read more

Feels like fancy Palm Beach, which it is. The Bronzino in a salted pastry crust was a special treat. We always order the beef tartare, and it didn't disappoint. Servers were knowledgeable without being snooty. One thing - it was very loud inside, so it's hard to have a conversation beyond with the person right next to you. read more

Great food not unlike the restaurant on the east side of Manhattan, clientele is a little loud, but the service was decent, but not great... Don't expect the same service of Cafe Boloud , and it's a far cry from that restaurants menu, but it will be more than serviceable if your expectations are not too high read more

The service was excellent and each one was kind and pleasant. This is my second time and previously I was here like two years ago. My memories from the first time was that we(4) all loved the Cheese Soufflé, Crème Brûlée, Kir Royale, Tuna Tartare, & Truffle Parmesan Fries. I had to say that unfortunately this visit we didn't enjoy as much as the first time the Kir Royale, & Truffle Parmesan Fries. We had for dessert Crêpes Suzette and with a espresso was perfect. We definitely had a good time and enjoyed. Probably we will to be back at some point. When we arrive around 6:30 pm (Sat) it was calmer and less louder. Definitely around 7:45pm- 8pm it was crowded and slightly louder (the usual from restaurants). read more

*writing this review late*The atmosphere was great( aside from the obnoxious Palm Beach drivers). The restaurant was lively and perfect for a valentines date with my lovely and beautiful girlfriend. We had an amazing waiter who went above and beyond and all the staff were very friendly and professional. My waiter even gave me a black napkin to compliment my suit :) The wine and food were top tier and everything came out in a timely manner. The courses were apart of the valentines menu and sadly I don't remember the names of the dishes; however I do remember the taste! Rock Angel 2022 wine to start and then Caviar came next, nice aged goat cheese salad, beautifully cooked lobster risotto and a juicy halibut with vegetables! For dessert I went with the classic chocolate moose and my date had a mixed berry cake. All in all, a great investment of time to be with a loved one in a wonderful establishment. Cheers! Spark Notes Review: Fantastic service and food! Atmosphere is beautiful, especially if the traffic dissipates. Great place to look into if you want to celebrate something, like Valentine's Day! read more

While lovely and tasty food, the waiter was awful. We have been many many times but this lunch merited a review. Our waiter at first would not take an appetizer order. OK. Some places insist on that. Let it go. Ordered our main course, after a bottle of sparkling water and a bottle of rose, we ordered a salade nicoise and a steak tartare. I ordered a tartare and fries as an extra side. The waiter upsold me an entree portion it did not tell me it came with fries. So when my steak tartare arrived it was with two orders of fries. I told the waiter and he shrugged. Like "you ordered it" and I mentioned it said it came with baguette and he said he would get me bread. I did NOT want bread. I was charged twice for fries because of him. Not the money. He was so rude the party at the adjacent table interrupted us to say he was rude and we were right. Never say never but it will be a long time before I go to celebrate and get insulted Again read more

The food is always good here but the service was OUTSTANDING. We had the pleasure of having Mika as a server. She was so kind and helpful. We also had Carlos serve our after dinner drinks. My daughter and son in law were super impressed with his knowledge and kindness. It's a beautiful place too without being stuffy. read more

Love going to La Goulue! The charming ambiance and great wait staff make it a true dinning experience. Always have to order the cheese soufflé! As well as the escargot. As for drinks the c'est la vie is my personal fave ( craving one now as I'm writing this) the desserts are not to be missed too. read more

I checked to see if La Goulue has a Michelin star after eating here. I was very surprised that they do NOT have a star as I have eaten in several Michelin star restaurants in France. The quality of the food is quite extraordinary. Our waiter, Carlos, really helped make our evening very special. He was so good to our two children as well. I had the Terrine de Fois de Canard. Best I ever had. Made in house obviously. I had the mushroom risotto with black truffles and additional shaved white truffles. Risotto can sometimes be boring and bland but this one had an abundance of flavour. Only by tasting it can you possibly understand how good it is. Their chef has a source for truffles from Europe of a standard that I have not enjoyed so much in many years ! Again, I don't think most people will have ever experienced the flavour imparted to a dish by a superior quality truffle. La Gouloue Chef knows where to source them. Ten out of ten, well done Chef ! My wife had the pan roasted duck with salad and very creative cubed fries. She loved her meal also ! Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful experience !! read more

First, we waited 25 minutes for our table even though we had a reservation. The hostess said our table was being reserved when we checked in. Then 10 minutes later she saw me hanging by the stand and asked if she could help me like we hadn't spoken. M when I reminded her, she then confirmed I was checked in and would be seated shortly. Another few minutes later, we asked to see what the issue was and a different hostess said a bunch of tables were having dessert and they were waiting for them to pay and reset our table. They didn't acknowledge any mention of a table having already been ready. Food: other than the soufflé, which was excellent, the food was mediocre. We got the escargot (subpar), the beef tartare (just not good) and the burger (also mediocre). Profiteroles were good, but nothing extraordinary. The place has a great ambience and seems to be popular, but I would not waste your time coming here with so many other great restaurants in Palm Beach. read more

On our recent visit, we enjoyed the escargot, salad laitue, beef bourguignonne, moules frites and iles flottante. It was a lovely evening with wonderful service.

For these prices, given the location and the other competition for French food on the Island I had to give them a one star rating, even though I so badly tried to justify two stars. The environment is noisy and I know they cannot control the people with their loud car exhausts and people overusing their horns, but service at the bar is inconsistent and just plain oddball. The drinks are good, I would go there for a drink, but not the food. The appetizer of cheese souffle was bland and unremarkable, in fact, I had to ask my wife what we had because it was so bland and tasteless, also overpriced. For the main courses we were very disappointed, tasteless and, you guessed it, overpriced. Finally we thought to ourselves, surely French dessert at a French restaurant would be great, right? The apple tart was disgusting and the ice cream served with it had far too much water content in it, crystalized like crazy. The Creme Brulee was just, meh, I've had better frozen from Wild Fork for a fraction of the price. Overall this place is likely supported by people who like the overdone and bougie ambiance, despite the fact it's on a busy corner and attempting to carry a conversation is impossible. You have better options a few blocks away, and for less money with significantly better service. Those who value good French cuisine, avoid this place. read more

Overpriced French food, and unfortunately not worth the price tag. Very fancy atmosphere (thanks to location being in Palm Beach). Ambiance is lack-luster, decor and colors seem boring and outdated. The bar is full service so we sat there, and were happy with the nice (and fast) bartenders. The food itself left something to be longed for (even more so once the bill came). We ordered the cheese soufflé (Gruyère and parmesan cheese, white truffle oil), steak tartare, escargot (with garlic-herb butter), steamed mussels (with white wine cream sauce) and French fries, filet mignon and the hot molten lava cake (with ice cream). I'm not sure what I was expecting out of the "award-winning signature" cheese soufflé, but it did not "WOW" me. Presentation was beautiful, technique was perfect, but flavor wasn't there for me. Also, $28 for a bowl of cheese and random garden salad, is ridiculous. Escargot was de-shelled, but again was lacking any real flavor. Steak tartare did not have the best presentation, instead of being red/pink, it was brown and was not appealing-looking. Dish needed more salt, and an extra French baguette. The filet mignon was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and was tender and juicy. Mussels were soft (almost too soft), and unfortunately were presented in a small bowl, where it was hard to get any of them at the bottom. All of the food was just OK. Large selection of wine, but priced at $20-30 for a glass is outrageous. For $450, not including a tip, I won't be quick to return. read more
