    The service was great and friendly. Small restaurant. The mussels were excellent! The rest of the food was just okay. Not very complex in flavor.

    One of the best meals, no, actually one of the best meal experiences my wife and I have had in years. The service was friendly, pacing was spot on, and the food was outstanding. We had did two Hors d'oeuvres, followed by our Entree's. 1. Bone Marrow & Escargots - cooked perfectly, with the marrow soft and creamy, complementing the escargot (first time for me) perfectly. 2. Soupe À L'Oignon - simply sublime. 3. My wife ordered the scallops, large and tasty and the unique pairing with the cherry sauce and dried Iberia meat was fantastic. She loved it. 4. I had the Veal, incredibly tasty and the zucchini gratin is not to be missed. The restaurant itself is small, which only adds to the charm of the place.

    Our main courses were quite good. My son had the steak frites, I had the special risotto, and my husband had the fish of the day. The appetizers were on the small side for the price, the scallops and the frog legs. If we come in the future, we will just have a salad rather than the appetizers.

    We went for our 15th anniversary and decided to stick to the classics; french onion soup, steak & frites, Chateauneuf-Du-Pape and pastries. Absolutely perfect. The staff were pleasant and timely, the atmosphere quiet and just reserved enough but not stuffy. We can't wait to visit again soon and since we live nearby we will!

    Spent my birthday weekend here in Breck and La Francaise was so good, i went twice!The staff, chef/crew are incredible. Do yourself a kindness and have breakfast at their bakery next door and dinner at the restaurant. I recommend the crème brûlée. I could go on but i’ll leave it as it’s amazing!

    Dinner was wonderful. The team serving us was incredibly attentive and personable. The only drawback was that we were seated at one if the high tops next to the kitchen. It was partly fun to engage with the chefs, but it was also very warm. Overall it was fantastic and we’ll go back! Highly recommend.

    Outstanding meal and service!! We sat at a high top table that overlooks the kitchen and interacting with the staff was fun! It’s a small and intimate space, be sure to reserve in advance. Being locals we don’t venture into town too often for dinner but we will become regulars at La Francaise Bistrot!

    Always an amazing experience. The food is some of the best in Breckenridge and it is some of the most authentic French food I’ve had in all of Colorado. The service is outstanding as well and every time we get to eat here they make us feel like family. Don’t skip this restaurant or their French onion soup!!!

    Steak frite was good but not very tender. As most French restaurants my asked for medium was rare. Should have been med rare. Fries a bit disappointing as if they were not double fried. Cool small venue and hightop near kitchen was interesting.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Breckenridge. Make sure to make reservations through their website or open table as seating is limited. The food is delicious and authentic. It is a family run business. The atmosphere is team oriented in the front of the house as well as the kitchen. The staff is quick to offer a smile, advice and smiles are easily returned as you enjoy the delicious food.
