Best French Restaurants in Congress Park

It’s a beautiful setting and the food is so very French delicious . I had the lentil salad. The vegetarian burger was delicious too .

lovely place to have dinner! We had a delicious gorgonzola salad and a main dish of sea bass served over mashed potatoes and spinach. All was excellent.

My friend and I had an excellent dinner at Le French (846 Albion Street) last night (12-20-2024). Each course was superb and beautifully presented. We had the seared scallops atop white beans and bacon, the beet salad, the braised short ribs, the bouillabaisse, and the Pavlova for dessert. Everything was absolutely delightful! Service by Alyssa was fantastic, and the ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. Our experience at Le French was definitely “five stars!”

La Merise is always very nice, their wine pours are very generous and it feels like a little piece of Europe. But the Trout last night was incredibly delicious! It is served covered with the heavenly gremolaud sauce on a bed of brown rice and veggies. You should have it, its is absolutely divine! However, I would recommend a little better play list. The Christmas music is great but could be more charming and lovely, rather than ordinary. Thank you, La Merise!

The food was so good, we're trying to schedule our return with more people so we can try all of the dishes! Drinks were fantastic as well. I don't recommend making a reservation for dinner at the bar. Turns out that does not guarantee seats. Fortunately, 2 seats opened after a brief wait and we were seated at the corner of the bar counter. It was a tight squeeze for all of the plates we ordered, but they staggered the delivery so we weren't overwhelmed. It's also a tight squeeze for people waiting who rested their arms on the backs of our chairs. That might be ok in a bar, but not for us trying to eat dinner.
