Cafe de la Presse is always a lovely place to go for a weekend lunch. The accommodations are lovely, the atmosphere delightful and the service prompt. We always love our time at the CDLP!

We went for the Steak Night special and we were very pleasantly surprised on the generous portion of the steak and frites. Steak was cooked perfectly for me and the frites were one of the best Ive tasted! The oil they were cooked in was obviously very fresh and the crisp was perfect. We enjoyed a window seat and our waiter/bartender was a delight. We will be coming back!

The only positive was the Chef, his delicious dishes and the Parisian vibe of this restaurant. The waitress was in the restaurant servicing us but obviously didn’t want to be there with her checked out personality. The owner fell into the same category. They both need to go to charm school. We will not return. Merci Chef!
