I love this place. The atmosphere is relaxing and the food is amazing.
Broccolini was too salty but otherwise great food
My wife and I went here for a short Valentine's Day celebration. The beef rib, Rachel sandwich, and fries were all very good. There was a deal on bottles of wine that was gone, but the waitress did her best to provide an equivalent deal. The service was a little slow and the time we could stay was a little short due to the state's health restrictions, but the experience was great overall!
Valentine’s Day
our brunch at the French Meadows restaurant on Grand Ave in St Paul was a delight and lovely -- everyone raved about the food -- and they paid extra attention to my sisters 80th birthday -- thanks -- I expect we'll all return again and again -- thanks for the food, service and ambience -- g
Valentines Day. The food is normally really good, but on Sunday it just wasn’t.
Brunch, slow but friendly wait service, baseline okay drinks, food was subpar no love/finesse.
Took the family out for dinner for 1st time since Covid. Received outstanding service and tasty food in a safe "Covid-era" dining room. Tables were well spaced apart from one another, and staff took all necessary precautions to make us feel safe as possible.
Food and service is always great at French Meadow.
Food was good. Service was average. Great gluten free menu selection. Nice ambiance.
Service was excellent and food was delicious! This was one of the few times I have dinned in since COVID, and I felt very safe dining in.
I used to love French Meadow but have found the prices to be high for appetizers and casual fare. The least expensive glass of wine is $11. I would return for breakfast only, for this reason.
The service was very good and it’s a safe dining environment during Covid.
My friend and I love catching up over the avocado toast and a latte! Always delicious! And, the service is sheets excellent!!
It is a bit pricy but good food, people and ambiance.
French Meadow can make everyone happy! I loved my “healing plate” entree. Great food, ambience, service.
Food was outstanding, delicious, craving for more. Coffee is amazing, I felt like a kick on my head after the first sip, desserts are to die for. If you want to amaze your palate come here.
Wonderful ambiance, great food and drinks, service was excellent. Will definitely be recommending and going back.
My daughter and I met for dinner, the service and food were excellent. Highly recommend!
The visit was perfect. They greeted us kindly at the door and provided top notch service the whole meal.
French Meadow was delicious as always! They were pretty busy that night due to just reopening, so seating took a little longer, but overall the service was still excellent.
Delicious food - recommend their homemade hashbrowns!
Great food and service
Love the ambience, service and menu! Our waitress was very peppy and helpful! Will definitely return!
Located in a great neighborhood. Free parking. Welcoming. Great Service.
Salads and Sandwiches are Delicious. Safety shields installed between booths. Safe space. Delightful time. Hope to return for another wonderful experience soon. Make reservations early. It’s a popular place; for good reasons.
FMB is our favorite go-to restaurant for our vegan lifestyle. Delicious, healthy food with many options available. We highly recommend FMB.
Delicious and beautiful food, as always! Lovely service. Delightful atmosphere. One of our favorites, over and over!
I loved it! First time there and it was for a birthday celebration. We had brunch and it was delicious. The service was great.
They were very accommodating, and attentive. Waitress was great!
The food has just been ok for me lately. The dishes are "overladen" to where it's hard to make out anymore what's in them and they lack taste. I'm sorry! I still really love it there though and the service as always very good!
French Meadow never disappoints and this time our expectations were exceeded. There was no abbreviated menu due to the pandemic so we got to pick from the many fabulous options. We feel safe as plastic dividers have been set up between all the booths. In other words, except for the masked servers, things are very much business as usual and we can enjoy French Meadow indoors throughout the fall winter and spring
Loved the chicken wild rice soup and will definitely order it again because it was very delicious (more brothy based than creamy based) which is my preference, but it was served luke warm at best. I wish it was served piping hot! I will request this next time I order it.
Good food but too expensive for what you get
It was good food, but overpriced, and the server checked on us a grand total of twice, and we were one of 3 full tables.
We enjoyed the food, the place, the service was very good. We will return again:)
Beautiful lunch on the patio. Everyone loved their entrees. Especially my son who had the vegan breakfast. We will definitely be back.
Excellent Old Fashioned cocktails. Lovely atmosphere protected from breezes outside on their back patio. Food was amazing, we had the GF mac and cheese and blackened fish tacos. All was fresh, well seasoned and delicious.
Delicious and healthy food, but very weak cocktails
What an enjoyable birthday lunch with my mom. Very happy and friendly service. Thanks!
Good burger ... not great fish tacos .. good deserts
The food was amazing and the ambience was quite comforting. My friend and I had made a couple of requests to add more ingredients to our coffee and the serving staff was beyond amazing, making sure we were always well taken care of! Bring my family here next because of the great service and food!
