Best French Restaurants in Wallingford

Great food, great service. Our wait person went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable.

I love Cafe Campagne. Wonderful restaurant, delicious food, good service, welcoming reception. I appreciate that some lunch entrées have a very nice small salad included. My only disappointment was that the (excellent!) vegetable quiche was sold out at 12:15. That does not leave many choices for a vegetarian. But the food and the atmosphere are excellent, and it was not noisy: a big plus.

Incredibly delicious food. My husband and I shared short rib wontons, rice cakes with pork, a cauliflower dish, and a pear tart. Fine dining with Korean influence. Fantastic! Waiter was kind, efficient, and helpful.

Fab brunch: pork shoulder Gordita - well seasoned, buckwheat crepe - nicely cheese filled, breakfast platter - thick hearty sausage, Eton Mess - rhubarb jam balances sweetness and crushed pistachio for visual appeal & touch of nuttiness. Thoughtful garnishes as dishes served with different greens. Fun to see skill of chef managing frying pans cooking food in open-to-dining room wood burning oven. Lovely service, leaving bottle of water and also refilling. Let us relax and catch-up. Maybe slightly pricey for portion size but I’d rather have less of food well done than leftovers. Also $25pp no-show charge a bit daunting as stuff happens even with best intentions - maybe should only be enforced during peak times (Mother’s Day, Christmas, etc)

I recently dined at Stateside in Seattle, and it was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! The ambiance, the food, and the impeccable service all combined to make this one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. A special shoutout to Jessie, the bartender, who went above and beyond to make my evening unforgettable. Jessie crafted an incredible Piña Colada—perfectly balanced, refreshing, and utterly delightful. On top of that, Jessie’s food recommendations were spot on, showcasing both knowledge and passion for the menu. Everything I tried was an absolute masterpiece. The duck rolls were perfectly crispy with an explosion of savory flavor in every bite. The ahi crudo was light, fresh, and beautifully presented—a true testament to the restaurant’s attention to detail. The creamy crunchy prawns delivered on both texture and flavor, a must-try for anyone visiting. And don’t even get me started on the duck egg custard—a truly unique dessert that ended the meal on a perfect note. Overall, Stateside has raised the bar for what a dining experience should be. The food is exceptional, and the staff, especially Jessie, make you feel completely taken care of. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of this incredible menu. Thank you, Stateside!
