What a great place! Tim, chef and owner was also our server! The menu is varied. It was tough to decide so now we need to go back a bunch more times. Thank you...outstanding food and atmosphere. It is small, which makes dining even more pleasurable. I wish no one else knew about this great place...but everyone should. read more

Tucked away on a side street this little restaurant has a little patio at the back of restaurant with French themed decorations The food was wonderful Also the server was attentive and asked if we wanted the fan to be turned off for us. First time ever I have heard a server ask that question Normally we have to ask the restaurants in usa to lower the fan or ac lol ( and therefore most of time bring a sweater with us) It made my day Onion soup was delicious snd so was. The daily special served with Brussels sprouts read more

One of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, especially in the Wilton Manors area. It's a little hole in the wall but has some incredible French comfort food. The baked Brie, gnocchi, mini beef wellingtons, and the house made ice cream are all phenomenal. The real charm lies with the staff, small owner and operated with just the owner and his sous chef at times - both of whom are not only skilled at their jobs but also delightfully friendly guides for travelers. read more

Five stars for cuteness and uniqueness for this Wilton Manors long running restaurant. You feel like you are hanging out in someone's backyard patio. Two women previously ran the restaurant and it now may have a new owner. Several of the dishes from the old appear to remain. This is a very small restaurant that was run by two on our visit. The service was decent with some nice touches like lemon in the water. Our food was good but mostly we enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

An old favorite for several years, Le Patio recently changed hands , so we went to check it out. The new owners have done a very good job of preserving the unique charm of "Fort lauderdale's coziest restaurant," while adding a few touches of their own. The menu has had a few additions but is essentially the same with all of our old favorites. Our salad with goat cheese was copious, more than enough for two and beautifully prepared. My partner got a delicious duck with cherries, and I got the "steack au poivre", a new and delicious addition to the menu The new owners have also added to the wine list, and I found some big improvements. It's nice to see the charm of the old restaurant preserved and yet see the new owners make some positive changes. We will definitely go back. read more

Terrific tiny restaurant on a side street in the just off Wilton Drive. Great food, great service and unbelievably charming ambience. One of the best cafes in south Florida IMHO 6 star ambience: the place has a wonderful tiny hole in the wall feel. There are just 2 tables inside and maybe 5-6 more in the back courtyard. It really feel like eating in someone's small but charming studio apartment with a tiny backyard 5 star food: the 2 original owners have moved to France but the new owners have kept the European specialties with some fun updates. My shepherd's pie was off the charts incredibly good 5 star food: with just 2 folks in the tiny kitchen ( which is open and literally the space behind the small bar), both were incredibly friendly and helpful. Plus they were just ten feet away the whole meal (we were able to snag an inside table) read more

Le Patio has such a relaxed ambiance. It was a great way to shed the week on a Friday night. The decor is perfect for a hidden gem. They don't rush you through the delicious courses. Tim makes great suggestions and lets you know substitution options up front. The French Onion soup lives up to the reviews. Get the Lavender Honey Ice Cream. It was a perfect finish and tasted like Provence!!! read more

We dined in for lunch on a Saturday. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The service was exceptional and meticulous. The atmosphere is definitely eclectic and one of a kind. We split three appetizers. The grilled cheese a tomato soup, the gratin dauphinois and the feta fingers. Our server was nice enough to split the food onto separate plates for the grilled cheese and soups. Everything was piping hot when it came out, cheesy and delicious. The soup has great texture with chunks of tomato in it. We greatly enjoyed the intimate environment, food and service. We would return read more

Lunch out with my bestie. It was very hot out & rainy. But as we sat down at Le Patio, we both enjoyed the setting. There were Fans On behind us. This place is very small but definitely cute. There are several tables, a fountain, lush landscaping & a covering overhead. Tim came out & explained the menu & specials to us. We decided on some wine, then we both ordered the chicken salad with avocado. We were told they were out of avocado but we could have artichokes instead. We ordered that. Glad we did. It was delicious. We also had some delicious French bread to go with it. Only issue I had was there is very little parking but a couple of spots in the front of the restaurant. Will come back to try more of the menu. Very quaint indeed. Service was excellent as well. read more

Perhaps it was a bad night but we went to dinner this past weekend and were not happy with the food. Service was fine the owner worked to make sure things were okay at the table. The Duck fat was not rendered and the meat was turkey white not the beautiful rare-medium deep red normally associated with duck Escargot were just not well prepared either. We were disappointed because we had been a few times before. Based on our recent experience I would not recommend. Again, I am willing to say it may have been a bad night. read more

Place doesnt have the same moxie and vibe, since jean and vera retired, and sold it to the new owner. Yes, the receipes and prep may be the same, but that can only get you oh so far in this business, of which, I have 20 years in. I do not think this place will last very much longer. I mean the place looks exactly the same, but its all about ownership. Taking control of a ship when everyone in Wilton is accostomed to 2 wonferful ladies, leaves much to be desired. Interesting, they deleted my comment because their poor little woke feelings got hurt. Oh well. Google maps is up next! read more

Easily some of the best French cooking I've come across in S FL! It's also a super cute and small restaurant so plan accordingly. Apparently certain nights like Valentines are very hard to get a seat and you want to always check if they are taking reservations. The service is personal and memorable. 10/10 read more

This is a small quaint hole-in-the-wall, and a fabulous date restaurant with a candle and Xmas light holiday lighting. The music playlist really added to the atmosphere. The food was rich and quite delicious. The tomato sauce and cheeses in the spinach ravioli were amazing. AND the most awesome part is the one woman powerhouse who does it ALL. Great find! read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and finally got to go yesterday. My sister and I went for lunch. It is super tiny. Only 2 tables inside that each seat 2 people and a nice outside patio. We opted for inside as it was a super hot day. We decided to have all appetizers for our meal. We had asparagus in cheese sauce, onion soup, Macaroni snd cheese, beef wellington and feta fingers. My favorite was the feta fingers and Mac and cheese. The food was good, nothing to write home about. Maybe I wanted to go for so long I expected more. Not sure we will return read more

How on earth have I waited this long to sing the praises of our beloved Le Patio? I've been going there forever it seems. Anytime folks visit I take them and every time a special occasion occurs off we go. A few days ago it was our dear friend's birthday and of course we had to take her for a Saturday lunch since she adores it there. Ideally we had two in our group who had never been. I'm always excited to witness newbies to Le Patio. The best was that one of our group is a server in a very high end restaurant and I know that he appreciates good food and service. And Vero was in the house! Of course we ordered French onion soup. The best soup that I compare others to and nowhere comes close. Our compatriot who's *in the biz* eschewed the soup and ordered bacon wrapped scallops which he said melted in his mouth. For the main course the birthday girl and I had to have a dozen garlic soaked, plump and tender escargot with escalloped potatoes. With sliced baguettes for soaking up the love. I was impressed with our fellow diner's shepherd pie and he stated it was delicious. More impressed with our server friend's shrimp cocktail salad. I realized that on a hot afternoon, that cool salad with huge shrimp might be my next order. Just amazing. Anyway our friend was so impressed that he picked the check up. He told us that it was an honor to pay for such a wonderful meal and experience. We found out that Vero and Jean were getting married the next day. Even though they have been together for decades. Makes sense to make things legal in these uncertain times. To them I say: "toutes nos félicitations" and "Mazel"! And "grazi"! read more

To think an authentic, wonderfully friendly and incredibly charming French bistro is hiding in this neighborhood makes me smile. While not on the main drag, it's just far enough down the road on 11th Ave to be a quiet haven with truly incredible food. Not fussy or unapproachable, the menu has some classic country French favorites (escargot, duck liver mousse) mixed in with Southern Italian influence (heavier pastas, lasagne). Solid wine list. Very nicely priced. For us, the escargot, broiled tomatoes a provencal and chicken richelle were literally just perfect. This was exactly the kind of food I was used to eating when living in Paris. The owner/chef is kind, funny and a integral part of the process, which I love to see. She also loves Absolutely Fabulous, so she's aces in my book. GO EAT HERE NOW. read more

Having a step dad from France, I knew I had to check out this spot with him when he came into town. It's a tiny place with only a couple tables outside in a beautiful garden like area, so reservations are a must. The food was incredible, homemade and authentic French cuisine. Everything is made to order so don't be in a rush when eating here. The menu also changes frequently. The French onion soup was out of this world. Honestly better than all the French onions I had visiting France. The portions were huge. I got the spinach and cheese ravioli and it was big enough to share. The crème brûlée for dessert was torched at the table and delicious. Mom got the Sheppards pie and it was very salty, but that was our only complaint out of everything we tried. If you like to support small businesses and enjoy a good home cooked meal, this is definitely a place to check out. read more

Went Saturday night with friends. We loved the ambiance, wine and food. The menu has something for everyone. If I had to describe the food it's European "French meets Mediterranean ". The feta appetizer was my favorite. The owners are very nice. Absolutely 5 stars! read more

I had dinner here with a regular. So we had a good time but I just get past the fact that almost everything here is made off site and microwaved. I've never experienced this. Now I have to say that microwaved food must be an art because it was good but it's an awkward space. Kind of hovering between quaint and annoying. I won't go back on my own but if someone else wants to go I'd be okay with that. read more

Owner was an absolute bitch to us. We arrived 40 minutes before closing and she says to us upon arrival oh I closed the kitchen already. We meandered and found another neighborhood gem. We told our server about our experience and she said oh we know who they are, they come in here and stay way past closing time and are so rude read more

I just want to say that I love love love this place! I use to live a minute away, love wilton manors. My fiancé and I were in the mood to go back to our gayborhood for a bite of some French dishes and decided to stop on by. As always there is street parking available all through the drive. The server was absolutely amazing and informative. I thought the prices even for the drinks were fairly reasonable. I went right at sundown to get more out of the experience with the outdoor seating. It does get dark but I liked it, oh they provide little flashlights for the menu if needed. We started with a few wine glasses and tomatoes a la provencale. The French onion soup I had a couple bites from my fiancé's which was superb. I continued with the patio house lasagna which was pretty filling, I had to take some home with me. If the place is hidden like this one is, you just know it's a sweet little gem. I will always continue to support wilton manor local businesses. read more

Jean D... As we were pulling away we saw a gal get out of a van across the street and walk up to the door and unlock the front door. If you were on vacation you have a SERIOUS Security compromise! I understand if someone is running late. There were no vacation signs visible during our attempt to dine at your business. Good Luck! read more

This is a very cute eclectic cafe. Most of the dining tables are located in an outside, but covered area in the back the the building. The owners have done a very nice job creating an unique atmosphere. The lighting is low, but the atmosphere cannot be beat on a nice night. Le Patio serves what can be described as "comfort foods" so you will find everything from shepherd's pie to scallops. I prefer the lobster ravioli which has a delicious white sauce. Often there are specials and they offer appetizers which often include pates. Service is generally good. On my visit there were only two servers (and likely only two for everything else) so it is an act of coordination. However, if you want something different and quirky, this is a great option. For that reason, I give it five stars. read more

Still one of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale for both lunch and dinner. The food is fresh and delicious. It is a very quaint place that makes you feel like you are far away from Fort Lauderdale. I have been so many times for both lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. I had lunch at le patio two times in the past two weeks. The first time I had the duck liver pate which was delicious along with a glass of red wine. Today, I had the baked brie and a glass of the house Sauvignon Blanc. Superb! read more

Thank you for making our anniversary celebration a special one! The restaurant is tiny but that works to their advantage. QUALITY VS QUANTITY! Love it. Specialize in what you know and you guarantee customer satisfaction. As others have said, the onion soup is outstanding. It is cheesy and the soup stock is very flavorful. Hubby ordered the bacon wrapped scallops and they were excellent as well. For his main dish he was adventurous! He ordered Cioppino, a fish stew. I was very surprised as he has never ordered anything even as close as this! I think he found a new favorite thing! Thanks ladies for broadening his culinary taste! I ordered the Shrimp and Crab ravioli. I was equally not disappointed. The cream sauce was delightful, and the ravioli cooked perfectly. how we made it desert I do not know because both entrees had generous portions. We did manage though and the Mousse Au Chocolate was divine! There are quite a few more offerings on the menu so a return trip is in order! See you soon! read more

We will return! read more

Ok, the such a cute place. The vibe is great. The food is delicious. Vero the chef is so nice . I will definitely go back.

I always enjoy dinner at Le Patio. What a perfect name for this tiny restaurant where most of the seating is on the patio. I don't often dine here in the summer but fall, winter and spring it is on my go to list! The menu is very much influenced by the owner Vero's French roots. She operates the restaurant during open hours largely by herself. Reservations are strongly recommended! Careful timing of reservations is how Vero spaces out patrons so she can provide good service. That said, Le patio is not the restaurant for a quick bite. figure an hour and a half or perhaps a bit more. Vero is not going to rush you out the door! read more
