“Le Cavalier” (pronounced: luh-KAH-vuhl-YAY) honors the deep equestrian tradition in the Brandywine River Valley.

Le Cavalier (Le Cav) is a French brasserie from Chef-Partner Tyler Akin that takes the brasserie out of Paris and transports it to Wilmington's iconic HOTEL DU PONT. Provençal fare meets North African and Middle Eastern influences in the dining room that once housed the historic Green Room.

The Le Cav Team is excited for you to share this unforgettable experience.

    I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a while but there are many mixed review. Decided to go for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed. The food and service were excellent! Will definitely go back.

    We were seated a few minutes ahead of our 9:15 breakfast reservation and were the third and fourth diners in the room. We found not only the coffee to be luke warm but our eggs Benedict with fingerling potatoes as well and felt the meal was overpriced for value received.

    My daughter and I dined here on Thanksgiving 2022 during mid-afternoon. First time there since the big remodel. A more casual, but still upscale setting. Some tables along the banquettes are close together. Wasn’t too crowded, so serve staff were attentive. Traditional turkey dinner was on menu, as well as several other entrees. We found our choices well-executed and tasty, including the sides. There were interesting cocktails and wines offered. The tab was on the high side once beverages and tip were added on, but it was a special occasion meal and we were a small party; might be prohibitive for a larger group. We brought home leftovers and had no clean-up awaiting us at home.

    Our second Thanksgiving at Ke Cav and better than the first. The family service of sides was smart and each item from sweet potatoes to Brussels the stuffing and cranberries was on point. Plus who wouldn’t live foie gras as a starter.

    Overall really great experience except for the steak tartar which had an odd tobacco taste that did not leave a good impression. However the restaurant took the tartar off the bill which was thoughtful, professional and appreciated. And for that I am happy overall and highly recommend the restaurant and would go back in a heartbeat. The architecture was beautiful!

    French toast did not come with fruits as expected. Coffee was cold. Servers were ok and attentive and the atmosphere was nice. The food was the sticking point. Not very good for the caliber of restaurant.

    We were disappointed in what is supposed to be a high end bistro. Two of the party had a scotch before dinner and , to be honest, for a restaurant of this type the pour was was, let’s say, chintzy. Other top restaurants in the area are much more generous, especially for the price level of the drinks. One person ordered steak frites and unfortunately the meat was under cooked. It was ordered to be medium but came very rare. Another one of the party ordered the Branzino and was very disappointed in its quality. We felt the quality of the meal was not in keeping with the prices charged. Compared with restaurants like Eclipse, Le Cavalier was a real disappointment. Unless we hear of major improvements, we will not return to this restaurant.

    Le Cavalier offers upscale dining at its best and its atmosphere is second to none. However, at this price point ($19 for a hamburger?), there are other options that have more extensive menus with dishes that are executed with the same level of culinary artistry. If you want a quick lunch, there are better options. However, if you want to impress a client or celebrate an event (e.g. anniversary), Le Cavalier warrants serious consideration.

    Food was average. Atmosphere no longer elegant, just average. Mimosas seemed to be made with canned orange juice not fresh. Music was intrusive. Service was fine. After the Green Room it is not my cup of tea but it may be yours.
