    La Kitchenette is one of the best experiences I have had in Madison! Their Lavender Creme Brulee is to die for :) I have brought friends, and they are never disappointed and start going regularly. It is that good!

    Wonder gourmet food that melted in my mouth. I could take leftovers home even though I was full because it was just so good I couldn't stop eating it. It's small inside but cozy, quaint and charming. Perfect ❤️

    La Kitchenette is a cozy little restaurant. The Boeuf Bourguignon was excellent and the service was prompt, courteous, and professional. Prices were on the high side, but you get what you pay for. I would recommend La Kitchenette in a heartbeat to all lovers of French cuisine.

    What a hidden gem! My son and his fiancé introduced me to La Kitchenette. I recently went there again for "date night" An incredible deal for two! Delicious wine, an amazing entrée and the lavender crème Brule was to die for! Bon Appetit!

    I used my gift card for Tuesday Date Night with my husband of 45 years. We felt welcome, nourished, classy, entirely satisfied. Brief conversations with are neighbors seated nearby were uncommon and added to our enjoyment. We appreciated the off-street parking and are sure we want to return. Our server did an amazing job.

    Service by Stephanie was stellar and the food was amazing. We started with an appetizer which included perfectly prepared scallops. Our group chose the Boeuf Bourguignon, Chicken Doria, and the Quail special for our entrees. All delicious comfort foods. The lemon curd crepe for dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. Atmosphere is cozy and intimate. We will be back soon.

    Very small place with outstanding food, and great service. It gets a little loud at times with some customers who don't temper their voices or large table groups who do not care about other diners.

    Our brunch entrée was good but very sparse on the salmon. We were very excited about the lavender crème brulé but it definitely wasn't what we had expected. It didn't have any lavender flavor at all other than the dried lavender that we had to put onto our crème brulé itself. Our server was very nice. The restaurant was quite noisy but I think that is the case in most restaurants.

    We really enjoyed La Kitchenette. We have missed being able to go back to France and this was ideal. The French Onion Soup was outstanding, the evening special was the perfect dish for winter, a take on chicken pot pie but so much better. Our server was alone but she never seemed rushed or impatient with our questions and her wine recommendations were spot on! Not France, but a wonderful way to get the feeling of an intimate French restaurant until we travel again.
