A word from La Becasse MI
La Becasse is located in Burdickville, which is near Glen Arbor in Leelanau County. We serve authentic French country fare in an intimate setting which truly evokes the French countryside. This is soul-satisfying food. We have an award winning wine list, which is heavy on French wines, and features… many Michigan wines as well as great picks from around the wine-world.Continued

  • "We dine at La Becasse for special occasions. Really, though, we ought to come more - because every time we do, we have a perfect meal, are served expertly, always receive an excellent wine pairing recommendation, and meet interesting people at the table next to us. So it was on Valentine's Day. An exceptional meal!"

  • "We have eaten here a dozen times over the years and the food is always incredibly good. A nice diverse menu with every dish prepared perfectly! The chocolate dessert was so amazing, we were fighting over the last bite. A different experience too--with the setting, old house, small room--wonderfully cozy."
    Dined on 11/29/2013
  • "My husband and I had a fun and amazing dining experience on Thursday night! We celebrated the Beaujolais Nouveau by the glass thanks to Becky and the friendly hostess! Best Escargot I ever had! Wonderful food, service and ambience, thanks for such a stellar time!"
    Dined on 11/21/2013
  • "We had one of the most memorable dinners here. Our courses we all delicious, and the chef paired each with a wine. We enjoyed every minute of it. We loved the small dining room and well crafted menu. I would highly suggest it for anyone who is looking for a romantic night."

  • "I have always wanted to visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at La Becasse. The food and service was excellent!"
    Dined on 11/16/2013
  • "My husband and I had an amazing meal as usual at La Becasse! The flavors in everything were amazing, the wine selection was delicious, and dessert couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks for a great night out and the convenience on online reservations. I strongly recommend this place as well as a reservation (it's small and I'd hate to be disappointed if they were full)."
    Dined on 10/27/2013
  • "From beginning to end, everything we ordered was delicious! The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgable but understaffed for the amount of customers they had to attend to. That was the only down side to our evening. There was quite a wait time for our dessert and the bill."
    Dined on 10/27/2013
  • "LaBecasse has been one of our favorite, special occasion, unique for the area dining experiences for the past ten plus years. The food is excellent with a good variety of special dishes offered. The noise level can be overwhelming at times and with limited seating the closeness of the tables does not allow for private conversations. We have recommended the restaurant to many. We are pleased that the hours had been extended to include some winter days as LaBecasse is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Michigan with scenic four seasons."
    Dined on 10/20/2013
  • "The server ignored my request for no sesame seeds on my salad. After bringing it, she disappeared before I could tell her and did not return until she thought we were finished. The vegetables on the plate were minimal, which I don't understand since they are the least expensive part of the meal. Again the plate was dropped off and the server disappeared not to return until she thought we were finished. My husband and I had a much better meal and experience at their sister restaurant Bistro Fou Fou in Traverse City, which I would highly recommend!"
    Dined on 10/18/2013
  • "This is a great place to go for leisurely dining with outstanding food and service. The lamb was excellent, as was the hangar steak. The pear tart was an excellent finish and large enough to share."
    Dined on 10/17/2013
  • "I have eaten at La Becasse several times and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, presentation is always enticing, portion is more than adequate without being overwhelming. The waitstaff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is small and always full so the noise level can be a negative factor but not a big one. LA Becasse is the best restaurant outside of Traverse City on the Leelanau Peninsula!"
    Dined on 10/14/2013
  • "What a perfect meal to celebrate thirty years with my best friend! from the "amuse bouche" cheese appetizer, the great wine list, the wonderfull appetizers (onion puff pastry for me and a savory creme brulee for hubby)' everything was superb. Hubby had the veal flank steak marinated in a cider vinegar-based marinade. I had a beef flank steak, which was also excellent. For dessert, hubby had chocolate cake wrapped in puff pastry ( talk about gilding the lily!)' which was absurdly good, and I had the profieteroles, which were also amazing. Our server, Micah, was nearby when we needed him, but never hovered. a memorable meal, for sure!"
    Dined on 10/14/2013
  • "The service and the food are outstanding. I've eaten in restaurants with Michelin stars that are not as good. If the menu looks like something that would suit your taste, don't hesitate to go. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but the food is easily worth the drive (30 min from downtown TC). It wouldn't even cross my mind to drive up to TC and not have a meal here."
    Dined on 10/13/2013
  • "Our food was extraordinary!!! Our table enjoyed rack of lamb, hanger steak and white fish. Each meal had beautiful presentation and the flavor was truly the best of the best. The staff is personable and friendly. Incredible dining experience."

  • "My wife and I had a very enjoyable evening out. It was a celebration dinner and the waitress was very helpful, fun and engaged. The food was excellent and I would love to dine there again sometime."
    Dined on 10/5/2013
  • "The food was very good, salad was dressed to perfection. The Pork Tenderloin was especially impressive, as were the deserts...phyllo raises chocolate cake to a new level. The only complaint was the space was very cozy, bordering on cramped."
    Dined on 10/6/2013
  • "The food and wine list is wonderful. We'll be back again!"
    Dined on 10/4/2013
  • "Charming Provencal ambience, an extensive list of fine wines, and outstanding food and service. This was our second visit to this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is worth the drive, and while expensive, you definitely get what you pay for."
    Dined on 10/3/2013
  • "Such a charming French country place. The rack of lamb was outstanding and generous. You would get maybe one third the amount in Chicago. Every bite was succulent. Great wine list."
    Dined on 9/22/2013
  • "This little gem was worth the drive. Country French atmosphere, excellent wine selection, and yet small enough to feel like you are family. Will go back every chance I get."

    Dined on 9/4/2013
  • "What a treat to find such a dining experience in the middle of, essentially, nowhere. Besides the warm welcome and the farmhouse ambiance, the food was well prepared and served promptly. Prices are reasonable but not "cheap" by any measure. The wine list is limited but even the "by the glass" selections were well above average. If you are in the area, this is the top choice for civilized dining."
    Dined on 9/4/2013
  • "La Becasse always delivers. Knowledgeable and friendly wait staff. Best French food in area (including Traverse City). Great specials in addition to menu items. Wonderful wine list. Always worth the drive for us from Frankfort."
    Dined on 9/4/2013
  • "La Bécasse is the place we go to for a special treat -- the very best place in northern Michigan, where the food is spectacular, and the ambiance is just wonderful."
    Dined on 8/31/2013
  • "THis country French restaurant is always good and our latest experience bore that out. Meat was cooked perfectly and the lamb was superb. Salad was creative and delicious and the blueberry lemon parfait fabulous. We love this restaurant and hope that the quality stays the same!"
    Dined on 8/31/2013
  • "My wife and I heard good things from a few locals in Glen Arbor during our visit and we could not agree more. It was one of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever shared together. Food was great!! Service was on point with Q & A's as well as keeping the meal at a great pace. I just wish it was located in Macomb County. We look forward to going back...and soon."
    Dined on 8/24/2013

  • "This was my first time dining at La Becasse. The food was amazing and I will definitely return. I will however, make a later reservation. We had a 6:00 pm reservation and unfortunately our romantic dinner was taken over by a noisy table of four adults and four children. After drinking three bottles of wine it appeared the adults had no intention of making sure their children used inside voices. Luckily, the food was so good it made up for the noisy clan!"

  • "We heard about La Becasse from our friends up north, and we decided to give it a try for our 1st anniversary. We were not disappointed at all. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly, even the amuse bouche. I can still taste the morel risotto!"
