Le Bilboquet Reviews

Enjoyed our Sunday brunch at Le Bilboquet. Excellent service and food with a reasonable price . Would recommend LES OEUFS FLORENTINE ET SAUMON FUMÉ and Cajun Chicken.

Not sure if we'll be giving this a second try or not. Some of the food items were good but others were bad. The cocktail menu is a joke. In an attempt to be creative, none of the traditional cocktails are offered and the ones that are miss the mark. The portions are ridiculously small and avoid the veal dish, its overly salty and visually unappealing. Their attempt at haute cuisine is laughable; to wit, smoke salmon served with guacamole amongst other ill fated attempts. The only thing I found that was truly French was the surly attitude of the staff. Also, don't plan on having any type of intimate table conversation, the "background music" is evidently to entertain the staff as its way too loud for table conversation, be it indoors or out.

Due to Covid, it had been over a year since we last ventured down to Buckhead for what in the past had usually been a memorable dinner. We chose Le Bilboquet since we are foodies and francophiles, and based on media buzz expected both of those likes to be well served. Aside from all the beautiful people, every aspect of the experience was disappointing. The wait staff all acted as if they'd been hired the prior day, several of the more interesting menu items were unavailable, and the food might have been passable at half the price. Plus, not a word of French was spoken. C'etait nos derniere visite!

Le Biboquet is a lovely place to have an excellent lunch. The atmosphere is elegant and luxurious. My butternut squash soup with croutons and bacon was exquisite. The steak was cooked to my specifications. I have been dreaming of the creme carmel. The service was constant.

I was prepared to give this a 5 star rating, based on the 1sthour of our time at Le Bilboquet. It was this past Saturday and the weather was perfect. My boyfriend and I decided to go out for a drink and enjoy the beautiful weather and ended up at Le Bilboquet. It was our first time there and we didn't do any research about the restaurant, but it looked cute. When we arrived, we entered through the door closest to the parking garage. We ended up walking through the restaurant and made our way to the hostess stand. We asked for an outdoor table, but the hostess told us that there weren't any outdoor tables at the time, but if we wanted, we could have a drink at the bar and she'd get us when a table became available. So, that's what we did. We sat at the bar and my BF ordered a blackberry mule and I had a glass of rose. The bartenders were so friendly and were able to answer the questions we had. Approximately 45-50 mins later, the hostess came by and asked if we still wanted to sit outside, we said yes. So we closed out our tab at the bar and went to the hostess stand. Someone walked us outside to our table. As soon as we were seated, I could see 2 men approach our table. One was the waiter and I have no idea who the other man was. I was facing them and could see that the 2nd man was looking at my boyfriend's shirt (my BF was wearing an Everton soccer jersey) and my shoes (flip flops, but nice ones) and he looked like he was pissed off that we were seated. They approached our table and the 2nd guy started telling us that they had a dress code policy and that we were in violation of that. Before we could even process what this guy was saying and respond, the waiter interrupted him and said that because we had already been served inside that there was nothing they could do. The 2nd guy was not happy at that and huffed off. The waiter then took our order and we thought that was the end of it. But, regardless the whole situation was super bizarre. The 2nd guy came back to our table about 5-10 mins later and said that he was sorry (didn't seem like he really was) but he needed us to leave or we could go to one of the stores and my boyfriend could buy a shirt that wasn't "athletic wear". We said absolutely not and that this was ridiculous and that we would leave but we were not going to pay for the food and drinks we just ordered. I have no problem with restaurants having a dress code policy. What I have a problem with is the inconsistency from this restaurant. Had we been told this from the start, we would not have had an issue and would've left...no big deal. What I have a problem with is that we were in the restaurant for close to an hour, served drinks, talked to the 2 bartenders, had many restaurant employees see what we were wearing and not one person said anything. The only person that seemed to have a problem was the 2nd guy who was monitoring the outdoor area. Look, the restaurant is cute. The drinks seem to be fun (I had a glass of rose), the wait staff and bartenders seem like they know what they're doing. I can't speak to the quality of food because we didn't have a chance. But, the way they (mainly the 1 guy whose only job is judging people and their attire) treat customers is not acceptable to me. It's even more odd during this time with what COVID has done to the restaurant industry. I feel bad because the waiter lost out on a table/tip due to nothing he had done. We ended up going to another bar/restaurant around the corner and when we walked past Le Bilboquet and hour later to go back to our car, the whole outdoor area was empty. In this day and age, Le Bilboquet's dress code policy is outdated and seem to be targeted towards a specific type of clientele. After that interaction, I did a thorough look around me and all I can say is that if you end up going there, just look at how white washed the restaurant it. In Atlanta, this is the whitest (clientele) restaurant I've ever been to.

OK food, average service, the location and decor are the only things going for it. Told their card machine was not working right so they took 2 cards and charged both. Had to return to get credit. Won't go back.

We arrived around 5.45pm to have dinner. Immediately we said that the music was no fit for an upper end restaurant! Prince, Toto, Hendrix and Fleetwood are not appropriate and the volume was so high you couldn’t talk. We had apps and a couple of drinks and left. Ended up at our favorite French restaurant, La Petite Maison and finished our evening with Stephanie! Food was great but music ruined our evening and forced us out!

Well dress man was turned away during lunch when there was at least 10 occupied tables. The reason given was the man did not have reservations. The hostess stepped away for a few minutes and came back saying his attire was not at the restaurants standard. When I looked across the room people were in there with t-shirts and shorts. From the moment I saw the hostess interaction I knew this was more about race than dress code. Seeing the other men only confirmed it. Certain people should be afraid to get here.

We have dined at Le bilboquet many times & love the food. On July 25th, my family and I (2 adults; 3 kids) tried calling to make an appointment for brunch, but no one picked up, so we showed up there at 10.50am-10’minutes before they opened. They refused to sit us saying they were fully booked and had over 160 reservations for the day. We left and dined at Southern Gentleman. And as we were leaving 1 hour after we noticed 95% of the outdoor tables were empty. There were only 2 tables occupied out of about 15 or more tables. I stepped inside to talk to the receptionist & she said they thought people would show up, but they did not. Really?? You lost 5 clients who showed up right before you were open & you could not accommodate them; including 7 and 9 year old boysAnd by the way, 80% of the indoor tables were also empty!!! Le Bilboquet management, I think you need to rethink the way you deal with your reservations. This constitutes poor management & appalling customer service!!!

Went with a group of friends for after dinner drinks. Cute French bistro. Great selection of drinks including draft and wines and wide range of French wines. Even the bathroom was super fancy and cute. Would go again. 😃

Tuna was great. Salmon was great. Wine selection was great. Price was great. Server was unkind. Attention level was a 3/10. Uppity and snobby at best. We stopped at appetizers based on the server.

It's a sad day when a well-dressed man is turned away. The first excuse was there were no tables, despite several being completely open at 1:00 p.m. for lunch. Then, this very well dressed man was turned away because of them citing a dress code. Beside him several were accepted who were shorts and t-shirts. They hid behind a policy that wasn't at all good enough to cover up their blatant and obvious racism.

This is a beautiful and very well organized French restaurant. Located in the heart of Buckhead. Clean, neat and efficiently run . Space is limited though. The service is exceptional. The menu is simple, yet exquisite. It is an ideal place for a nice get together. Will recommend for anyone looking for a nice French meal anytime.

I am so thrilled to rediscover this restaurant in Atlanta. Initially, I was not impressed; but decided to give it another try. The location in shops of Buckhead is very convenient and has valet parking; always a plus. Ambiance is amazing and service is top notch and food is authentic and really good. I had lunch twice in one week and also dinner; I could literally dine here everyday; menu is quite varied. I love the smoked salmon appetizer with brioche and the Cobb salad is amazing!! For dinner; I always gravitate to the Cajun chicken served with a fresh greens salad and frites!! Creative cocktails and a variety of regional French wines complete the experience!

With all the positive reviews we tried the restaurant last Friday eve. It turned out to be a disappointment. Personally I ordered confit de canard, expecting a tender surprise but it turned out to be a scorched and tough dish which had a unpleasant type of flavor. In all frankness, they took it back and the replacement dish was ok (veal). My better half ordered steak, which was ok, but nowhere close to the quality you will find in restaurants like little Alleys or Halls. When it came to payment, we discovered that the wine was invoiced for $ 10,-/bottle more than listed in their menu. Conclusion: ambiance is nice, but the food is at best mediocre and way overpriced. Watch your bill to avoid further surprises

We’ve decided to give this restaurant a try after learning that its Chef Cyrille Holota worked as Chef de Partie at our absolute favorite restaurant in the world Alain Passard’s Restaurant Arpege in Paris, a recipient of three Michelin stars. Le Bilboquet is a cozy place in the heart of Buckhead. They offered a taster menu on Valentine’s Day for $85. That includes an Appetizer, and entree dish and a dessert. I tried crab rolls, the venison and cream brûlée. All dishes were excellent, venison was perfectly cooked and was the highlight of the menu. Desserts were wonderful as well. I would recommend this place for a special occasion.

Great food and drinks. Popped in and we were seated in a back corner which wasnt too bad until we had a loud talker behind us, about that time we noticed the bar was completely open and moved over there. We had a great meal and loved the laid back setting. Very nice atmosphere, menu is good but is a little light on choices, you may want to look before you go.

Perfect evening for dining outdoors. The setting of the restaurants allows a city experience without city noise since the restaurant sits in the middle of the arrival court. Automobile traffic is slow moving. On a Saturday night, the foot traffic made interesting watching. The food was excellent, particularly Le Poulet Cajun and L'Escalope de Veau. Service was timely but not rushed, very professional.

My first time, and the setting was lovely. A new trendy area of Atlanta. However, the service was ok, and the food overpriced. Still not sure we were charged the correct amount (should have checked closer). The creme brulee was cold---is that a thing?

The duck confit and fish dish were really superb (pictured) and to sit outside on a sunny day is a treat - but the inside restaurant is great too. Traditional French foods. But the service is neglective - too clever trying to speak in a French accent and not focused enough in looking after our table - I even had to get up and go inside to ask for my check. And, if you are going to charge $28 plus tax and tip for a plate of cheese you should at least be able to explain what each cheese is - and not simply point and state “that’s a blue, that’s a goat, that’s a cheddar”! Valet parking across the road - no one tells you but you get $2 off if you get the restaurant to stamp your ticket.

What a wonderful meal. Great service. Fantastic food. Apps were really large....wished someone would have warned us. Could have eaten an app and called it a night. Loved the veal! I'll be back

I attended a champagne dinner here last night. There were five course and each was paired with a champagne from Billecart Salmon. The food was not only delicious, but each dish paired very well with the champagne being poured with that course. We had caviar, scallops, pheasant, lamb, and cheese. The restaurant is very nice inside and it is in a nice, small road just off of Peachtree. I used the valet parking, which cost $5. They said the restaurant was planning to hold more champagne dinners in 2018 and I intend to try another one. Overall, I was impressed with the restaurant, the food, and the service.

My partner and I visited this restaurant for brunch. The food was fine, but the service was incredibly awful. We waited for ten minutes for our server to show up. Our server forgot our drinks, so I had to follow up with the assistant servers. He didn’t give us any recommendations, clearly didn’t want to waste time on us. We did leave a tip in cash (more so for the other employees who brought out the food than for him). Hopefully he shared it with them as he was not at all deserving. The ambience was non-existent due to the many cars driving around (noise, poor air, etc.). Can’t recommend.

Let me tell you— Le Bilboquet. If you are looking for a romantic vibe or just into people watching, check this place out . The location is set in the heart of Buckhead in a center called the Shops of Buckhead. Think Rodeo Drive but for Atlanta . The restaurant is reasonably priced for an “upscale” experience. Their cocktail and wine selection is solid. We had the LE CRABE AVOCAT ET SALADE EXOTIQUE (crab avocado salad). It was tasty and fresh. Tea also ordered the duck confit and had good things to say about it . She also had several rounds of the Rosé Sangria. She suggested it was one of the best Sangria cocktails ever !! Bottom line, we recommend this place for couples and celebratory occasions. The food is good and the scenery is amazing without being pretentious.

We always eat at the bar as service is always better. Bartender was very friendly to start and we had escargot, fantastic! The best, blows Bistro Niko out! Then had mussels, hmmmm, classic restaurant mussels, soupy, weak on flavor and too much liquid, please, reduce it more for flavor intensity! Then Steak Tartare. OMG, I added a raw yolk, the best! Wife had Tuna Tartare, delicious. Go here!

We enjoyed a relaxing lunch on the patio. Theodora, Server was friendly. She Recommended the lump crab avocado salad and it was delicious.

Le Bilboquet already has the reputation as "the place to go in Buckhead"...it is frequented by many of Atlanta's celebrities including many of the most discerning sport figures. This is truly a french experience in Atlanta. Great food, service and a good value. It is an expensive place but well worth it!

We are native Atlantans and have been to Bilboquet many times. But when we went for pick up, the young hostess looked me and my daughter up and down (we were in tennis clothes hence the PICK UP order) and then acted like it was our fault they had not even begun the order. She was rude and condescending. And when we finally got the order, they had only given us half the normal portions for the Cajun chicken. So after a $150 lunch, we were still hungry. And we aren’t big eaters. The manager was supposed to call me back but he never did. And he also never returned my email.

This place used to be awesome but now is a well decorated Waffle House. Short pour wines and tiny entrees made with no care. Servers are great but management has destroyed a once great Atlanta icon.

My wife's cousin was in town and we took her to Le Bilboquet for dinner. We have eaten here many times, and knew it would be a hit for her, too. While I try to stay vegetarian, when dining here I have to order the veal. So good!

A wonderful evening enjoying great food and wine. We were celebrating our anniversary. The food was fantastic and the staff friendly. I’d made a special request when I made th reservation, but hadn’t heard back on whether or not they would make it. Low and behold, they presented us with a beautiful and delicious Paris-Brest gateau! We’d highly recommend Le Bilboquet for a lovely night out, special occasion or not.

Very stylish decor, varied seating (ask for a booth), great bar, friendly and efficient (no thrill) service and most of all really fresh and wonderful food - we liked every dish brought to the table !

I have visited during lunch on several occasions but 8 for dinner this time proved as wonderful. Steak tartare is excellent but the duck and veal scalloping were divine as well. Service was very attentive and accommodating as we brought several collector wines to drink. True French cuisine.

We booked this for Mothers Day far in advance. They called us TODAY, MAY 4 to inform us of a $85/per person (INCLUDING CHILDREN). We've eaten plenty of nice dinners in far more interesting places for much more money but to apply that cost to children without batting an eye & to tell me about the fixed menu the same wk of Mothers Day leaving me the option of cancelling (and likely not finding a reservation elsewhere) or accepting this is just terrible service. This is mothers day not valentines day- it is a family lunch and your management clearly has no sense. You reap what you sow Le Bibloquet. I hope you lose many more potential customers for this. I've eaten here before and it is certainly not worth what you think it is.

Service is much improved. Food was, and still is very good. Great people watching in the middle of Buckhead Village Not cheap, but overall worth it for a high-end experience.

Having traveled the length and breadth of the USA and live in Toronto, I was shocked (in a good way) to find out that I can sit on the patio, have lunch like a normal human being and have my dogs sit with me. So European. Lunch was quick to arrive. was good and service was great. Felt like I was in France with moules marinieres and tarte tatin. The last place I could sit with the dogs was Providence Rhode Island an eternity ago. Would definitely return with or without pooches.

We had a wonderful experience here! We didn’t have a reservation, they were completely full, it was pouring rain, we went on our way. The host came out in the rain to get us, he had a cancelation. He saved the day. Our dinner was incredible. The chicken is the best I think I’ve ever had ANYWHERE! Everyone who works here is lovely. Can’t wait to come back!

This is really a lovely restaurant with attentive staff and great food! Too hot to eat outside this evening but definitely will try that next time in this unique urban setting with tiny brick lanes. Try the spinach salad (big enough for two) and the escargots. Wonderful!!!

We always come here for casual meals while shopping and never had a bad experience. The food is always on point. I love mushroom risotto and tabouleh for appetizers. Bread is really good. Fish dishes and duck are terrific. Coffee is great and cucumber martinis are stellar. This place allows dogs inside its dining room, which I absolutely love and my pooch appreciates. The restaurant is also an amazing (quirky) people watching spot.

Excellent service, delicious food, great outdoor dining atmosphere, sea bass was so good, love this spot!

Terrible, terrible experience. The worst treatment at a restaurant in my life. The most disgusting treatment of a wait person by a manager that I’ve ever seen, in my life. What started as a festive birthday lunch ended with an hour-long forensic investigation by the incompetent manager into why we were charged for two bottles of $450 rosé champagne when in fact, we ordered and received two far less expensive bottles and not a rosé ONE HOUR. We waited and waited and waited and waited. One friend had left his card and gone to get the car. Where he sat and waited for an hour while the incompetent and rude manager grilled the wait person and ignored the fact that we had both a cork from one of our two bottles as well as a photograph that clearly showed that the glass pictured did not have a rosé champagne in it. “I have cameras all over the place,” was his response when offered the photo. As if to imply that we’d switched out the bottles somehow. “This may save your ass,” he said to the wait person when one of us took the cork to him. He also came out of the kitchen, brandishing an empty bottle of the rosé that we hadn’t ordered, waving the bottle around like a deranged Hercule Poirot (to be clear, he was not French. The restaurant is, of course, so it seems an appropriate description.) “Your other friend left, so the three of you are going to have to pay,” he said, as if to imply that we were trying to leave without paying the bill. If we had ordered the rosé, we would have paid for it. Horrible experience. Even though the food was a good experience, this treatment overshadowed everything. That’s why this review is a 1 star across the board. I literally had heartburn for hours afterwards. He ended up removing the two bottles from our final bill entirely, but at that point, it didn’t matter. We all felt grubby and unwelcome. Happy f’ing birthday, criminals. To the ownership of this restaurant: You have a problem. This person has clearly worked there for several years, as evidenced in IG photos of staff from at least 2019. If your managers are allowed to treat staff AND clientele this way, then a pox be on your house. Never again. If you like to be treated badly by ass hats, I highly recommend this place. If you don’t, there are plenty of other excellent French restaurants in Atlanta.

My son is in Atlanta and has been by this place frequently. He has wanted to eat here all summer. So we decided to have dinner. We had the escargot, mushroom risotto, and tomato mozzarella for appetizers that we all excellent. Then filet, veal and salmon for entrees. Again all excellent. Joshua was our server and recommended an equally complementary wine. A very fine evening was enjoyed by all.

I was expecting this to be another overrated buckhead restaurant but was actually very surprised! The escargot was amazing and so was the veal. Expensive, but very generous portions. Our waiter was mediocre, she kept forgetting what we ordered since she didn’t have anything to write our order down with (my biggest pet peeve) but other than that it was a great meal

Very tasteless establishment, content in their discriminatory and complicit practices. A couple guests and I dined at Le Bilboquet (ATLANTA) on July 14th, 2024 where there was a woman who had no regard for others dining around her, as she continuously slewed profane language even with minor children seated in close proximity to her/her table. As a result, my guests and I asked a server to inform the manager of this woman’s crude behaviour and for at least 10 minutes, we waited at our table while this “manager” pretended to assist incoming guests and when he wasn’t doing that, he was attempting to hide behind the plant located at the host stand while he peered over it at the woman’s table. When the “manager”’CHAD, finally made his way over to our table, he barely listened (kept interrupting and talking over my guest while she was attempting to explain what was taking place), and with a smirk and in a VERY CONDESCENDING tone asked, “what would you like me to do?” He then did the unthinkable/something I have NEVER seen any MANAGER do in any restaurant I have ever been to! This “Manager” walked over to the woman’s table, very casually walked her to the front exit of the restaurant, and stood with her outside for at least 5 minutes, having grand conversation. We know because we watched it all unfold from where we sat. Upon her return to her table and for the rest of the time that we dined, this woman completely antagonized us and made us extremely uncomfortable — continuously staring at us in a VERY intimidating way, as if we had done something wrong and as if she wanted to take action of her own. Once we realized what was taking place, it became VERY apparent to us that not only did the “manager” explicitly inform this woman of where the complaint about her stemmed from, but he was also complicit in her actions. It was also very evident that her actions were justified because she was clearly a regular so he was afraid of addressing her, and her money was more valuable to their establishment than ours was. To add insult to injury, and in my attempt to keep this private and allow Le Bilboquet to address what occurred, I typed a very lengthy complaint on July 17th, 2024. I sent the complaint via e-mail to the e-mail address for the Atlanta location — no response. A week later on July 24th, 2024 I escalated it to the New York e-mail address — still no response. This establishment has had more than one valid complaint pertaining to discrimination, and by not responding to either of the e-mails I sent they have sent a VERY CLEAR message that they stand by the discriminatory actions of their employees who mistreat guests they are not familiar with, and are content with allowing guests they are in fact familiar with to retaliate against others.

I had lunch recently and was seated outside. The waiters were attentive and courteous. I had the goat cheese salad and the mussels. Delicious, crisp and outstanding goat cheese. The broth for the mussels was very French with a touch of garlic but not over done. The Ott Chateau Romassan From Bandol was an amazing Rose. Great time.

Very nice French restaurant in the Buckhead area. The atmosphere is great. The food is above average, the wait staff is great. You have to have the lump crab and avocado salad. It is absolutely the best. Prices are high but it's Buckhead.

Love the location and the setup. Food is great! I had the steaks and the fish and everything was prepared perfectly. Love the quinoa salad as a starter as well. Great outdoor seating when weather is good!

We had a very nice leisurely lunch. The food was very fresh and tasty and they even had a DJ to entertain us during lunch.

We had been hearing about this restaurant for quite awhile and fortunately got a reservation during our short stay in Buckhead. (Made the reservations about a month ahead of time.). The restaurant is very attractive and was certainly packed and lively. A fun atmosphere. Our server, was very good - she was friendly, helpful and once she knew we had not dined with them before, she went out of her way to make our experience very good. I wish I could say the food lived up to her level of service and expertise! Although "good", each of our dishes seemed to be missing something - just not quite as flavorful or interesting as we had expected (or heard and read about). It was not bad, but it was not excellent either. I will say that we would certainly give it another try on a future visit, as we liked the ambience, menu and location so much. Perhaps they were having a bit of an off night in the kitchen.

The worse service ever there is a Hispanic guy that don't know how to treat people we've been coming for about a year now and unfortunately would be the last time good is great but service was so bad!!! Won't come back

This place has a great, open and airy brasserie atmosphere. The food was delicious and generously portioned. Would recommend the escargot, cajun chicken (I never order chicken in a restaurant but this was highly recommended by a person at the next table and it was true!), and muscles. The only disappointment was tuna tartare which was flavorless. Our server was very nice. All servers wore masks, but tables were at regularly spaced distance. Check it out!

Very bad experience. The staff treated me with disrespect. I feel that they do not respect people who look like me.

whether, we return. First, the appetizers and entrees were outstanding... everything 5 stars. However, if service, noise and ambience are important, to you; try somewhere else. Food was great. Service was adequate. Drinks, appetizers and entrees arrived, in a reasonable time. Therefore, 1 star each, for them. (Caveat: Our réservations WERE at 5:30; before, the restaurant got slammed.) The noise, on the other hand, was intolerable. So, no star, on that. The ridiculous cacophony destroyed any hope, of ambience. No star. Finally, on the issue, of “will I return?” As, I stated, above; that will be my wife’s choice. I sure would not.

We sat at an indoor table. The food was "ok" but we lost our appetite when we saw a large rat scurry across the floor. We will never be back.

We had reservations and arrived early as we were travelling into the city from out of town. We were able to get our table early, which was great. From creative craft cocktails to extraordinary service to outstanding food, it was a great experience from beginning to end. The lemon veal scallopini and mashed potatoes was among the best I've ever had. Desserts were not as memorable but not bad. We will be back!

The service here is very good. I enjoyed a fish dish that was very tasty. The appetizers were good: the salmon and crab appetizers were excellent. This has a France – like feel and experience in the food is excellent. I recommend

Cher philippe, Chere Llona, And the Team I wish I could say tonight : let's go have dinner at the Bilboquet. Stephane and myself want to tell you how much me miss you all, the food, the feel at home away from home. As soon as things gets better we will come to our favourite of favorite restaurants: Hang there, be and stay safe, we miss you. Bilboquet you rock. On espère un jour, voir un gourdin au restaurant D' Atlanta, on se sentirai comme à la maison😂 we love you

Revisited Le Bilboquet after a Covid hiatus for an anniversary celebration. Beautiful night in Buckhead - lots of outdoor diners on the patio. Met by pleasant hostess and seated immediately. The French 75 cocktail was just perfect with the mushroom risotto appetizer - one of the best risottos ever! Salmon on spinach was fabulous - Lots of buttery goodness. Husband’s Cajun chicken choice not quite as wonderful but his plate was cleaned! Lovely anniversary dinner finished with a tart tatin dessert that was fabulous. Pretty good value for your money. Service was friendly and unhurried. We’ll be back.

Le Bilboquet is spectacular! The waiters are professional. The food is delicious. My view was spectacular my friend Seabass was great. It's worth every penny. And it cost a lot of pennies!

Find the restaurant in the middle of the Shoppes of Buckhead. Valet park your car and walk right in. This up-scale French restaurant offers a menu of carefully selected dishes. Everything is wonderful and desserts are delicious. Don't miss this resturant on your visit to the Buckhead area in Atlanta.

Small & quaint yet delivers a romantic to charming experience with average to excellent food selections and wine list. Cobblestone outdoor patio allows a European flair, in the midst of a concourse where designer community events flourish throughout the year. Usually a wait evenings and weekends. Book Valentine's Day now for 2018. Unless you're an uber VIP. Valet & garage self parking.

Le Bilboquet is a restaurant that I frequent multiple time a month. The food is very good and the service is excellent. Some of my favorites are the jumbo lump crab and avocado salad, tuna tartare and pan seared salmon.

Bartenders are just drink dispensers, no interaction, had to constantly ask for our wine to be poured from our bottle. Mussels were good but the sauce needed reducing as it was thin on flavour. I added butter to try and help. Bar was a mess and never bussed. Unfriendly bartenders! Used to go but would skip it now!

Thanksgiving Day!! Great service. Sammy!!! Halibut was off the charts!! Turkey and Dressing, Chicken were terrific c!!

I was put off by the reviews about the dress code but we thought we would try. We enjoyed our evening. My husband has celiac disease and they clearly understood gluten-free and had lots of choices. Our server was very knowledgable and efficient and friendly. It was a bit warm, so we sat inside but the outside tables looked very nice. Our cocktails were spectacular and the food was excellent. It was pretty quiet inside. As to dress code, it reminded me of Houston where we recently moved from - women in cocktail dresses and the men more casual. Not odd to see a couple with cocktail dress and man in cargo shorts.

Seated scallop special today was light and delicious. Kale and Quinoa salad fresh, light and a bit large. A very tasty French Onion soup was covered with beautifully stringy and delicious cheese. My companions enjoyed the Cajun Chicken. Their creamed potatoes were extremely creamy and rich and seasoned perfectly. I had a steamed meringue dessert that was so perfectly light and delicious it was heavenly! I highly recommend it. All in all the perfect atmosphere and service along with delicious cuisine made for a fantastic lunch. I highly recommend Le Bilboquet!!

Great service. Food incredible. the atmosphere was all you could wish for . Our waiter was efficient and kept a close eye on our table and returned when she saw need or we called.

I spend a lot of time in France, and this is not a French restaurant. They sort of nod to France but submit to Atlanta by various substitutes to the dishes. It’s not bad, the service was good, and the items we chose were prepared well. It was a pleasant evening, just don’t go expecting Jacques Pepin to cook for you.

A great Calvados based cocktail as a starter, then a nice starter with asparagus, followed by a very healthy lobster in a delicate sauce with some pasta and veggies. Wow... a unforgettable dinner, with a creative Sauvignon wine from Oregon. A place to visit !

This was our first time at the restaurant and we must say that it was great. We opted to sit indoors which was amazing since we had the pleasure of an empty restaurant but the view/breeze of being outside. We had some great dinner and drink recommendations from our server. He was great! Very attentive, knowledgeable and a great sense of humor. Menu was small but had options that we both enjoyed. Valet was literally right in front of the restaurant so we will be back!

Lovely french bistro in the heart of Buckhead. Food has been delightful each time we were there. Service was good. Unfortunately, it was a very nosy lunch crowd which detracted from our ability to converse. The risotto was outstanding. Not the quiet lowkey environment found in true french bistros but still very worth the visit.

We recently visit this restaurant 2 weeks ago and we loved it. The food is just exquisite, I suggest try "Le Poulet cajun" just the most delicious chicken I had eat in Atlanta so far, my boyfriend told me next time he will order that (he got another entree). Great service, prices are a little high but it's fine for a special occasion. Definitely we will come back.

Just finished dining at this restaurant with my wife and daughter. My wife and I had been here many times before but my six-year-old and 9 year old had never had this experience. The food was good, and we felt the service was even better. Highlights included the top-shelf old-fashioned, the champagne recommended by our waitress, my wife's fish, my daughter's entrees (spaghetti and salmon) and the Foie gras terrine. Shout out to Catherine, our server who bent over backwards to make sure my daughter's enjoyed their dining experience. Yeah, we'll be coming back.

Went here for dinner recently. Food was good. Had the snails, short ribs, and chicken...all were good! The chocolate mousse and flan were excellent

The crispy octopus with garbanzo beans and puree was outstanding as was the lentil salad. Appetizer and entree portions are both large and after seeing some diners around us opted for two appetizers and salad--which was more than we could eat. Wait staff was attentive but less sophisticated than the food. You couldn't close your eyes and pretend you were in France...

From start to finish, it was just well done. Very attentive service, delicious appetizers, excellent entrees and great desserts. This was our first time and we will definitely go back.

I recently ate lunch on a Saturday at Bilboquet. 5 ladies. We had a reservation for 2:15, and had to wait almost 15 minutes to be seated. The DJ/music was pretty loud, so we were okay to be taken to a table away from the DJ, but it was still really loud there. Once seated we ordered a drink and waited and waited to have our food order taken. Finally one of us snagged our waiter and said we were ready to order, but he tried to tell us that as it was (now) after 3:00pm, we were too late because the kitchen was closed! We fairly strenuously objected that we'd been sitting there and no one had ever said that time was of the essence, so waiter said he'd have to "ask chef". Well chef said okay, so we ordered and got our meals. Then coffees. We asked for the bill, and plopped down our 5 credit cards, and the waiter tells us that they can't split it with 5 credit cards!.... Really? Since when? And perhaps he might've anticipated this and told us up front? (Like he should've told us that the kitchen was about to close, except, of yeah, he never came back after delivering the drinks...) The food was very ordinary. Nothing special. The music was too noisy. The waiter was either unhappy to be there or unable to anticipate and/or think about delivering decent service. It was very disappointing. Three of the women were from out of town, and I imagine they won't be recommending it any time soon. Neither will I.

We went there for lunch and had a delicious meal! It was very french and simple. I had their Cobb salad, which was well made and quite filling. My friend had a steak, which they liked. The french fries were also good. We had champagne, which they had quite a good selection by the glass, though a bit pricey ($55 for 2 glasses). The tarte takin was nicely caramalized, and the ille flottante was divine. Plus the atmosphere is quite buzzy.

Wish I could choose zero stars. I had a bizarre experience at this restaurant today. I'm sharing my experience so others can be aware & tread accordingly. I apologize in advance for the length but I want to accurately capture the foul experience w/limited character space! I had a reservation for 3 people at 12 noon for brunch to celebrate a friend’s recent engagement. I made the reservation months ago & was looking forward to experiencing the restaurant for the 1st time. I live @40 miles south of the restaurant. When I appeared for the reservation, I requested to be seated outside on the patio. I was first told by the host that I could not be seated due to me not meeting the dress code. She stated that my attire constituted as athletic wear. I had on a cotton outfit, that fell into a category of athletic wear for them. All soft cotton green matching bottom (jogger style pants (that could be worn with heels or dressed down w/sneakers, and coordinating top) and nice clean sneakers. I did not realize this outfit would not meet the dress code for outside seating. That was on me, my bad. The host suggested I speak with the manager (Chad) as he may be able to make an exception. Chad, promptly approached & said I would not be able to be seated because I did not meet the dress code citing my outfit appeared to be athletic wear and the sneakers weren't allowed. I was disappointed, however I understand that rules are rules. In a last ditch effort, I asked if there was any way an exception could be made due to the fact I was celebrating a friend’s event and the drive time it took me to get to the location (40 minutes). I was declined a second time. I got it, I was too casual (coordinated & neat but did not meet the dress code). Chad was never rude & seemed to just try to enforce the rules. Ok, cool, I was able to regroup, found a nearby restaurant that happily sat my party. The brunch was saved; we moved on, until we had to walk back past the outdoor patio of this restaurant to get to our cars. Immediately, we noticed SEVERAL guests wearing athletic wear, cut off jean shorts, jeans w/holes, tshirts, dirty sneakers and a baseball cap. I also noticed an individual with shorts that were basically daisy dukes. I was astonished and LIVID. How was I turned away for not being business casual and yet several people were sitting there violating the same policy? I proceeded to return to the restaurant to ask to speak w/Chad. I asked him to step outside on the patio w/me, he politely agreed. I asked him if he remembered turning me away just a few hours before for not being dressed “appropriately”. He said yes. I asked him to take a look at several of the guests on the patio & explain how could it be possible that I was turned away & these people were seated. He did not have answers; said he was in agreement there were some inconsitencies. He was not rude nor was I. I was seeking clarity on the interpretation of what appeared to be arbitrary rule following. I had accepted that I couldn't be seated but I was dumbfounded that others dressed more casually, dressed down more were seated. It made no sense. I contacted the general manager via email. I described what happened and attached pictures of myself and others that were not in compliance with this dress code. In short, he told me everyone in the pics that I took were in compliance (except me). The guests were not in compliance. The GM compared my "athletic wear" as looking like pajamas because they were made of cotton. Pajamas? He was insulting and made it all worse. He said Chad said there were no inconsistencies, a completely false statement. Chad absolutely concurred there were some issues. The GM did nothing to make this right, instead he just attempted to tell me I didn't see what I saw. I don't know if Chad changed his tune or if the GM threw the manager Chad under the bus. I will never ever spend my money here. This was the messiest experience I've ever experienced as a consumer of any establishment. Too many choices for this type of foolishness. Be consistent.✌️

First visit to this enjoyable restaurant located in The Streets of Buckhead. We chose it because it offered place of morning worship. One attendee was age 90 so valet parking with no steps into the restaurant was great. We all chose different entrees which included French Toast, Salomon, & Omelette of the day. I had Poached Eggs over Salmon and sautéed spinach. Two of us had a side of bacon. The food and service were wonderful! We will return.

We were give a $175 gift card to this restaurant. We really expected better because of the reviews we read before hand. We decided to do a lunch there. Because one of us does not drink alcohol, we asked the waiter to let us know if any of the choices had it. He was very accommodating and told us some dishes could not be changed, but others could be alcohol free. A choice was made and the waiter went to ask the chef if he could keep the entrée alcohol free. His response, "Absolutely not!" even though we knew nothing in it was pre-made. We each ordered an appetizer and an entrée and I had a gin and tonic. Our bill before tip was around $175 for quite mediocre food.

I love this restaurant. They have the best fries in Atlanta. The hangar steak and fries is one of my favorite meals. The restaurant has a great wine selection. Although the restaurant has a more casual setting, I think it would be fine for a business meeting. The set -up is nice. It's fun to go to sit at the bar during the weekend. I've met several interesting people while having a glass of wine. I have to mention that the brunch is also excellent. My friend raved about the eggs benedict! I enjoyed the croque monsieur sandwich.

We went there for brunch after walking past this place since they opened. We truly enjoyed the brunch, little price but worth it.

This was our first time going. And did not know how busy it was going to be. We were told it would be an hour wait. A place at the bar opened up so I jumped on it and sat there. Then the hostess came up to me and said a table opened up would we like it. And we said of course. Francisco was our server. He was wonderful. The bread with butter was tasty. We ordered the crepes suzette a perfect blend of citrus and crepe, beat salad, with crispy bacon. The beat salad was beautiful and so good. And mille feuille napolean dessert. So good too. I was so impressed. The service was excellent.

A wonderful romantic spot...We had a very nice bottle of white wine and nice meal...numerous choices on a french leaning menu. The service and vibe was exceptional...after wards a stroll around the neighboring stores to window shop

Stopped in Saturday afternoon for drinks and had a blast. They had a live DJ (Just James) which made the whole experience that much better. Beautiful restaurant, lots of natural light and great music all around highly recommended 👌🏼

Nice atmosphere with lots of natural lighting. Service was friendly and prompt, refilling water and cleaning the tablecloth with those little brushes in between courses. The food was delicious. I went for Sunday brunch and everything from the cocktails to the dessert was bright and flavorful. I highly recommend the rose sangria, it was served with lots of fresh fruit mixed in. The beet salad was beautifully presented. I don't know what it is but they have the best french fries! Better than Paris! End the meal with a sinfully rich creme brulee. There are plenty of high end shops in walking distance to make this a perfect girls afternoon. The food and ambiance is 5 star. I had to give 4 stars for the bathroom which unfortunately needed a lot of attention.

A friend and I dined at Bilboquet for lunch one Friday and we were looking forward to trying a new (to us) place. In the heart of Buckhead, we opted to use the valet parking. Attendants there were friendly, which is worth noting because as other reviewers have mentioned, I also found the staff at Bilboquet to be aloof and inattentive. The ambience seems stark with some interesting artwork scattered on the walls. There is outdoor seating which will be nice on warmer days. The indoor tables are on the small side and very close together. After an uncomfortable wait for someone to come to our table, our server finally made an appearance. We ordered a charcuterie platter, and crab salad. The platter came out and was unceremoniously left on the table. In every restaurant I’ve ordered this appetizer, the wait staff has always explained what each item was. Our waiter disappeared immediately so we had no idea what we were about to dig into (the menu doesn’t give details). We flagged him down after a bit and asked, and he explained, but we could barely hear him over the loud music. I will say everything was delicious- and it should be at $28. The crab salad was terrific and very fresh tasting. The avocado was more of a guacamole so diners shouldn’t expect sliced or diced pieces. We spied other entrees on adjacent tables and the mussels looked amazing (and plentiful), as did the beet salad - it looked yummy After a while the water stopped flowing in our glasses and it was ages before anyone refilled our drinks. Bilboquet’s food is worth a journey for lunch (I personally wouldn’t drive out of my way during rush hour) but the service could use some improvement. By the way, note to management: the music doesn’t have to be so loud!

This place is elegant and has great french food. The desert is the best part of the meal at this restaurant! I absolutely recommend the tarte tatin. I was a little upset the second time I went there because my favorite dish, which is the duck, was removed from the menu. The service is good although very slow.

The online photo's don't do it justice its more stylish in person. It started a little bumpy my reservation requested a quiet table but they seated me right at the door, however they quickly recovered with allowing me to pick my own corner table next to a floor to ceiling window which was perfect. This was a chic, nice little restaurant. It had a Euro vibe and great service. The food was very good but a little high priced for my taste. I spent a $100 bucks for 2 with no drinks other than bottled water and no dessert. I would go here again for 3 things the risotto, service and the ambiance.

I have heard that brunch is phenomenal. I ate at dinner and I called saying I would be late (apparently my boyfriend would be much later) and they kindly adjusted my reservation. Pros- The server was polite Our water glasses were never empty The hostess was polite Outdoor seating was available, though hot, they can't control the weather Cons- The duck was over cooked and dry The foie gras was under seasoned The overall meal was bland To be a French restaurant the DUCK and the FOIE GRAS have to be up to par. We went yesterday, and while I waited on my boyfriend to arrive, I was provided bread so that was a treat. However, the location is in Buckhead Shops so the quality has to be outstanding, and they were just meh. For the price point- which isn't ridiculous- the food was just very disappointing. I had a nice bone to give to my dogs and fed them the dry meat from the duck. Such a shame because I wanted to "splurge" and as I am a pescatarian and I feel like I wasted my splurge on rubbery, bland food. Today is August 3, 3030. I literally ate there yesterday.

This place was great - food, service atmosphere were all fantastic. The only problem is that they have a business casual dress code, which is one of the reasons why I went here. There is even a sign outside stating this policy that is very visible. However, immediately as I walked there there was a guy in a hoodie, torn/distressed jeans at the bar. I overlooked it because he was at the bar and left pretty quickly. After being seated I noticed that two guys sitting at the table next to us, both had on tee shirts, blue jeans, one with sandals and the other with slides that he took off at the table. Certainly not business casual by any stretch of the imagination.

A good location; indoor & outdoor seating. Very nice waitstaff. But overall, no management and immature hostess staff that must Uber to work or they’d get lost on way to restroom. Very, very self-impressed, though nothing that distinguished. Good for brunch or light fare ; pleasant environment; good people watching but definitely needs a wake up call and dose of reality.

First and last time we will ever eat there. A waitress from another table charged our credit card almost $500 for someone else’s meal and then they charged our card for our meal. The restaurant had no plans to tell us this, we fortunately got a text from our bank letting us know. When we brought it up to the manager, he told us it would be 5-8 business days til the money would be back on our card. The manager proceeded to yell at us for 5 minutes like it was our mistake. They offered zero solutions and acted as if we were the problem. Ruined our entire meal and evening out. The manager was the rudest person I have ever spoken to in my life. I had heard the rumors about service here as I assume most people from Atlanta have… unfortunately the rumors are true and far worse once you’re actually inside.

I was excited to share this wonderful spot with my friend - but alas, it did not pass muster this time. We ordered one of their specialty cocktails - but they were out of one of the key ingredients. We ordered escargots - but they didn't have them (really, a French restaurant and with a small menu was out of escargots?) My friend's veal was average at best. I had their signature chicken dish - and it was as delicious as I remembered. I would like to say I'd come back next trip to Atl, but with so many wonderful restaurants, I'm not sure that I would risk it - so sad because the atmosphere is great and the other times I've eaten there I have been in love with the food - Have to say our server was not very interested in looking out for us either

We had a wonderful dinner at Le Bilboquet the other evening and as usual the food and atmosphere was delightful but what really prompted me to write this review was because of the outstanding service from Wick Dropik. He was accommodating, pleasant disposition, knowledgeable, and appropriately attentive. I will go back there again and ask to be seated at his table!! Bravo and well done. Terry Henritze Atlanta, GA

Best escargot in Atlanta and one of my favorite Salmon dishes in Atlanta. Very sexy, sophisticated atmosphere with a nice bar too. I highly recommend inside and outside is very romantic and great views.

We have eaten both lunch and dinner here. The decor is lovely and the food is well prepared. The service is good. It is a favorite of many in Buckhead so do make a reservation. The wine list is extensive but a bit pricey. Choose well for good value.

The food that we had in this Restaurant, by far was the food in our entire vacation. It was amazing, delicious experience in Atlanta. Over all the food in South is totally different, it was hard to find a quality food in our trip, but this chic French restaurant is absolutly the best to find the most delicious food in Atlanta.

Great menu, service and bar. Old Cuban to start at bar and Icelandic cod with a duck liver starter. Highly recommended.

Although we live close enough to walk here, we had never tried it out until last Saturday. It was a bit hot for us to sit outside, tho if our reservation had been for 8pm rather that 6:30 the weather would have been perfect for the patio. Inside was very impressive. Simple and unfussy decor with large windows and skylights around the edges adding to the light and airy atmosphere. We sat in a half-circle banquet which was very comfortable for the back and backside, but so tall that even with my highest heels on my feet did not get close to the floor. The baguette we were served was sliced and toasted, however, we asked if it could be warmed before cutting and then served untoasted. What a good call. Great bread deserves to be warm and fresh from the oven. Chris from California, our terrific waiter, brought me a taste of the Cab Franc and it was a winner. We ordered veal scallapini and it was tender and tasty (and we find that good veal is not easy to find) with a delicious rich sauce, and served with potato purée. We also ordered a side of asparagus. However, for some reason, our potatoes did not make it to the table with the meal (which we hate!!!) and tho we slowed our eating it took a very long time to get the side dish. Dessert of creme brûlée was a fitting end to the meal. We will surely return in the near future.

I was really looking forward to a visit at Le Bilboquet as French food is my favourite cuisine. However, being a large party (8) where people have dietary restrictions (fish and nut allergy), I called the restaurant in June and spoke to the most disinterested woman who asked me to send an email so that she could properly attend to my query. Sounds reasonable, non? I knew from the tone of voice there was very little interest. Sent the email query. No response. Resent and asked via there FB page which indicates that the query was seen - no response. I don't have to spend my money at places which have such poor responses and terrible attitudes. Clearly they arent interested in customers. We did have a rather good evening at Bistro Niko (also French, also in Buckhead and who do attend to queries...) Wouldnt ever bother with this place again. ("When visited" is marked otherwise I could not submit this review.)

From the special request to serve our cocktails in glasses I brought for a gift to my friend, to the delicious meal, and lovely atmosphere - we had such a wonderful evening!

This was our first trip to Le Bilboquet and, as French natives, we had a high level of expectations. My wife ordered foie gras which is her favorite French food and both of us were disappointed. This was clearly not a top quality product and to pay $27++ for a slice , of paté... For the rest, it was a good experience but we have had better confits of duck or tuna tartare. Very good service and nice atmosphere. This being said, we will be back. They deserve a second chance.

Dress code enforcement. Thank God. A satisfied Black customer. We celebrate our birthdays with a dinner at Le Bilboquet because the customer service make us feel special and the food is excellent.

Le Bilboguet's floor to ceiling windows and outdoor seating create an airy and sunlit atmosphere, despite being located in what amounts to an outdoor mall. The atmosphere is cheerful and pleasing and last Saturday the vibe was hip as we walked in for a late lunch and were greeted by a live DJ. Tables of celebratory friends and couples enjoyed pink champagne and bloody marys and the mood was absolutely convivial. Our steamed mussels with hot and crispy frites and chunky spicy curried chicken salad washed down with French rose were the perfect, relaxing lunch, The bread was warm and crusty and our coffee was hot and quite good. Overall, we agreed it was the perfect, upbeat but relaxing Saturday lunch.

Bottom line: you pay up for the very good and well prepared French food, great wine selection, outstanding service, and very pleasant setting. We had a nice evening celebrating a family birthday and were impressed with the attentive and friendly service. Tremendous wine selection particularly amongst 1/2 bottles and wines by the glass, albeit this is where the restaurant makes its money as prices are NY’esque. Highly recommend octopus and charcuterie board appetizers, veal and Cajun chicken main courses, and mashed potatoes.

Since Mid-Summer, I've dined here about 6 times and there are a few consistencies: 1. Reservations are not required, but highly recommended. 2. Self-Parking is complimentary for the first two (2) hours (validation at the front desk). Valet parking is right in front of the restaurant and is also complimentary. I usually tip the valet between $2 - $5, depending on the individual. 3. The best seats are the ones where you can view the restaurant as well as the outside (glass walls/doors). 4, Service is relatief quick, attentive and not pretentious (Thank God!). The staff knows the menu well and gives awesome paring recommendations. 5. There are some classics on the menu to try (Escargots, Steak Frites & Duck), but I've never been disappointed. 6. If you're looking for an easy paring drink, try the Peach Bellini...Delicious! Bon Appétit!

Eclectic, fun, and great place to have lunch with friends or family. Varied menu and the food was excellent.

We dashed in during a rainstorm and asked for a table despite having no reservation. Luckily it was only 5 pm so we were seated promptly. The bar was already crowded with patrons who had reservations for tables later in the evening, so the place was already pretty lively. Service was excellent; good warm French bread; mussels were delicious and plentiful, although the accompanying "frites" were just like McDonald's french fries; chocolate mousse was very generous - easily enough for two! Wine list is vast and very expensive. As tables filled up it became impossible to carry on a conversation as the place is very loud, which people seem to want these days. We did not want that, so if we go again it will be midday or lunch. Valet is available but you can park for free in the underground deck and get your ticket validated at any restaurant in the surrounding block.

This spot is in the middle of some high end shopping so there's lots of fancy cars pulling up to the valet parking. Nice tables outside and service was very good. They brought some good bread and soft butter to the table. I had the veal scallopine as my entree. The plate was full of veal in a nice sauce. Side dish was mashed potatoes. Very thin but great taste. I went for the chocolate mousse for dessert because my friend recommended it. Was very good but expensive ($10) for a dessert. Had some fresh creme on the side. I went inside to use the restroom and it was very loud inside. It was perfect outside except for the occasional smell of smoke.

Great atmosphere but the food is NOT worth the price. Skip the meal and have drinks and appetizer outside instead!

During a Girls Weekend in Atlanta, I was looking for a Michelin-starred restaurant. There isn’t one in Atlanta but Le Bilboquet popped up in the search results, so that’s where we went. The ambience is nice, the food and service is good. The arugula pesto linguine in the Le Homard dish that I had was salty but they replaced it quickly to my satisfaction. Note to self: Have Le Risotto Aux Champignons on my next visit! I recommend this restaurant for couples and Girls Weekend.

Sad to see my favorite restaurant has become elitist and requires credit card for reservations and ………72! Hour cancellation notice or they charge you?!?!?!!!!!!!

Super sexy fenchy in Buckhead. Unbeatable service and food! Always a great spot for celebrity spotting. Crazy great wine list. A favorite for date night!!! Once the weather cools off...nice outdoor tables too!

The service here it's pretty good even with new staff they work hard to provide you with their best effort. The wine list was nice and we found some pretty good selections. The food is fantastic. If you like mushrooms, I recommend the risotto, however we tried several dishes and all were prepared perfectly and very fulfilling. The chef even accommodated the vegan guest at our table. Thank you for making our business function not only a success but also a really great time. Many good conversations and laughs over excellent food.

My wife and I went to Buckhead and wanted to check out the shops and look around. This restaurant is very well located in the center of things, and also has very good food. Service was great, the menu is fairly diverse, and it was a very pleasant experience. We can vouch that the duck and the lamb chops are very good. Great flavor on the duck and nice crispy skin. Wine selection by the glass is a bit limited, but otherwise a very good experience.

This is my third time eating here. Made a reservation for Friday night at 715pm. Was seated promptly, and attended by an apt ,but, not very personable server. He did not tell the nightly specials, nor was he interested in answering questions regarding the menu. We shared a salmon app, then a salad. Had 4 glasses of a great Pinot noir. I had the Cajun Chicken-- perfect as usual, my wife had the salmon- absolutely divine! If the food was not so terrific we would not return. The cuisine perfect, the service all three times- marginal.

Food at Le Bilboquet was extrodinarily good but the service was horrible. Wrong meal was brought to the table, water was not filled, coffee was not refilled even after asking twice. Ate dessert without coffee and went home wishing coffee shops were still open. Although the restaurant is in a great location and the food is good, I will not be returning and I would not recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy a meal.

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant! And the food is good, too — particularly the French fries. They make the BEST French 75 in Atlanta! Our server, Blake, was very attentive.

Overpriced is a relative term. We never mind paying a lot when we get value. Atmosphere was nice, outdoor seating right next to the driveway, and service quite attentive until we quit buying drinks. I had skirt steak, chewy and without much taste. Just no bang for the buck here.

We enjoyed a lunch of soups and salads in the early afternoon on the terrace outdoors. The service here was very attentive and quick. The food is extremely fresh and very well prepared. The drink list is wonderful. A great place for lunch for sure!

We were fortunate to be able to attend a wine dinner there last week. Every course was paired perfectly with the wine, and the food was amazing. Absolutely the best meal I have had in years - we will be visiting again on our next trip to Atlanta.

As an Atlanta native, I have tons of friends traveling to this amazing city for vacations, conferences, sporting events, festivals and everything else that Atlanta has to offer. My #1 restaurant recommendation is ALWAYS Le Bilboquet! It is also a local favorite. They are known for their Cajun Chicken & Frites that are out of this world. Absolute best French fries I have ever had. Their Mussels, Salmon and Steak are also fab but their Lobster with Linguine is my favorite! For appetizers they have an amazing Tuna Tartare and I love the Goat Cheese Salad. The ambience is perfect, very high end, luxury feel inside and if the weather is nice their patio is perfect to sip some wine and people/car watch. They have Champagne Saturday's with a DJ in the afternoon and serve delicious Brunch on Sunday. Service and staff are so kind, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Le Bilboquet Atlanta for locals and tourists alike!

Great French food! Service is pushy and snobby. They need to be little be more friendlier and laid back. After all it’s only a french resturant nothing more.

This restaurant is in Buckhead in an upscale shopping area. We were fortunate enough to get a seat on the patio - it was a perfect evening for being outside in Atlanta. I was debating between two wines and the server let me try them both - the one that he initially recommended was the one I chose. There were many interesting things on the menu, but I went with the chicken, because it was a signature dish. Fabulous! It came with frites (French fries) and dressed greens. Every bite was wonderful.

Had an amazing time at Le Bilboquet with my boyfriend. It was amazing and Chad our waiter and all staff were exceptional. Will return and looking forward to this being a new regular spot!

This is such a cute place in a high rent district. They have wonderful outside seating and it was a beautiful day to have lunch outside with my friend. The waiter was useless. The other folks (bringing dishes, pouring water) were so much better than the main guy helping us. He halfway explained the specials. He finally took our order and then a while later someone brought my salad but not my friend's. We had to ask where her food was. Then he proceeds to tell us that he knew he punched it into the computer but maybe the sun was glaring and it didn't go through. My friend waited patiently and they did rush hers out but the enjoyment of sitting outside on a lovely day was ruined. He offered to do nothing in compensation for her. My cobb salad was really fresh and really yummy. Nice light dressing on the side and the chicken was perfect. Would go back again but make sure I had a different waiter. Bathrooms were very nice and had great products to use.

The bad : the hostess was not kind. No smiles The good : everything else. Server was so sweet. Cajun chicken was awesome. Salmon. Awesome. A little expensive but worth it. Clean. Great atmosphere. Good music. Relaxing !

Decided to drop in for the "Champagne Saturday" from 1:00p-5:00p. We arrived at 4pm for a quick sip and was informed that they were "Out" of the $18.00 per flute champagne, and only had the $25 per glass Rose Champagne available? Really??? It was Champagne Saturday for God's Sake? How do you run out of what you advertise the afternoon event for? We were only there for 30 min max! For the $50.00 plus tip, I could have just bought a bottle of Veuve Clicquot at Wine and More! However, I did not protest, but I wasn't pleased either. The DJ @jdgracelamour was very good and there was a "very colorful crowd" at the bar with their pet dogs if you like to "People Watch"! ⁣The ambiance is very nice and it is surrounded by the Shops of Buckhead for luxury shopping. Dior, Tom Ford, Tods, Hermes, Jimmy Choo, etc... So you kinda expect $$$ it to be on the higher end of the spectrum, but going in know that it "maybe" not the very best value for your expenditure. However, it's a personal choice and You should decide.

The food is delicious and the ambiance is swanky as it's location in the center of the Buckhead shopping district. A little pricey. (Alcohol prices). We always leave spending close to $200 for two of us and we don't order that much? Anyway, worth a go.

Open, very airy and very popular - Le Bilboquet is "the spot" to see and be seen. Food is delicious and the atmosphere positive, upbeat and very fun. Both indoor and outdoor dining in the heart of the Buckhead shops. As the old saying goes "Tell only your best friends"!

Great food, fantastic service, fabulous outdoor patio- just wonderful! Located in a vibrant part of Buckhead, not to be missed.

Usually I enjoy visiting Le Bilboquet but today was just a big headache. Fire alarm went off & of course you know it will continue to screech until fire department arrives. Our food sat at the table as we all ran outside because of loud alarm with most other patrons . Now, how do think a fine restaurant will handle this disruption, an announcement by management ? A tray of champagne or ice tea as we wait? Nothing , Nada..Are we do fabulous that we can just mistreat long standing customers ? We'll see

Great restaurant with an inviting ambiance. A bit pricey but worth it. If you like champagne, they have a great selection. 🍾🥂

I have heard of Le Bilboquet for some time and finally I had a chance to have dinner there. The setting is lovely, and the patio, where we dined, reminded me of a bistro in St. Germaine. The food did not. The bread was wonderful, the hangar steak was good, and was served with watercress salad-which I love. However, the frites were frozen fries. I was so disappointed. Just an average meal.

Husband's salmon raw instead of done medium. Sent back with my veal. Out came same salmon cooked more. My veal recooked-tough. There for my birthday. Waiter told us to pick item off of dessert menu. We opted for chocolate mousse. Mouse was great , but being charged for it wasn't. We told management of our experience. They are still smiling and yawning!

well , personally didnt enjoy , while the food is good, the waiters were snooty, the prices are very high and wasn't impressed all around with the vibe

Reception extremely unfriendly and arrogant. Service ok but we have seen much better. Food is mediocre and does not compare to any French bistro we have ever been to. Better to try Le Colonial across the street, or Alma Cocina.

Stopped here while shopping, and found a great place to sit outside and people-watch. Great salads and wines. Service was very efficient, almost aloof. The server recommended a popular cocktail over the one I actually wanted. Salads were simply prepared and fresh. Go when you have a lot of time to relax and unwind!

I had the octopus appetizer followed by the duck confit, it was superb....I thought I was in Paris. I was drinking a chilled Rosé

Great service. Wine is really good and priced right. A 60 dollar bottle of red here would be triple in New York,. Good value for the location. I’m not big on French food but I wanted to try it. Had the escargot and tried the waygu tartar. I would come back just for the atmosphere and outdoor seating is perfect. Would be perfectly happy with wine and appetizers. A good choice for a date.

Food was very good, but I would save the dining experience for some other time than Christmas Eve. The reservations was made about 1 month in advance, in which they should have denied reservations for a table of 4 if they didn't have any. We were seated at a 30" cocktail round which required us to hold our menus, and the wine list in our laps; the bread basket had to be placed on top of someone's bread plate & if not on a bread plate then it had to be at one of our place settings. Needless to say, we were cramped, and at a fixed price of $80, plus water ($16) and wine, the experience became anything less than ideal. My meal was cold and had to be returned-not a big deal, but I was way behind my fellow diners and therefore was still eating while they watched. I would recommend the restaurant anytime other than for a holiday.

They have a nice patio in a glitzy high-end shopping area that would make for good people-watching. But we sat inside. It was quite loud. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The chestnut soup was a delicious appetizer. We had entrees of veal and cajun chicken. Both were good, but neither wowed us. The serving size was generous so we had leftovers to take home. The wine we ordered is no longer carried by the restaurant but it was still on the wine list. The wine list is fairly expensive ($60 and up) and we wanted one of the lesser expensive wines. I thought they could have given us our second choice wine for the price of the wine they did not carry any more -- other restaurants have done that when they did not have a wine we ordered. All in all, a nice night out, but not high on my list for places to return to.

The site is very nice, but the food is at best mediocre, and the service very poor and unpolite. We asked for some very easy requests but they were somehow ignored. Very non-Atlanta friendly service.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. It actually has been one of the best restaurants that I have dined at in the Atlanta area. We were seated right away with a reservation at a lovely table. The server was attentive and the manager even came around to check on us. The octopus appetizer was prepared perfectly, would definitely recommend this dish. The mussels and fries were also delicious. Some restaurants tend to over prepare mussels and these were very traditional and delicious. My daughter and I shared the creme brûlée and a strawberry and meringue dish. Both were equally delicious. They also had a great playlist and we asked for the name and they gave it to us. I will be back to Atlanta in September and will most certainly dine at this restaurant again.

I went to le bilboquet for business dinner a week+ ago. The restaurant charged me for an item that we did not get (they were out of the soup) as well as an drink order that was wrong. When I reviewed the bill the next day, I called and spoke to a financial person at the restaurant (very nice and thorough). He was going to discuss with the manager. The manager has not gotten back to me in a week plus. I called back a few days later to connect with the manager and still, nothing. I am very frustrated by this lack of service for a meal that was almost $500. Not sure why they won't do the right thing here.

Went to dinner with family. Service was terrible and manage is incredibly rude. Food is okay but overpriced.

My first time eating at Le Bilboquet ATL. I’ve been to the NYC location a few times and always enjoy the food, wine, and ambience. This visit was no different. We shared a bottle of rosé, Henri Bourgeois, which was perfect on a hot day. Then the crab/avocado salad and tuna tartar as starters and a bowl of moules frites. The food was lovely, and the service was good, not great. I’d suggest it as a good option whenever you have a craving for rustic French. Enjoy.

We enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a cold Sunday. The restaurant is very pretty and cozy. The brunch menu was a nice selection of French and American favorites. I loved my Croque Monsieur - yummy ham and cheese with French flair - perfectly crispy frites and a simple green salad. The bread basket is a bit pricey but delicious. All the pastries melted in your mouth. My husband had a wonderful Eggs Benedict. Looking forward to coming back on a warm spring day when we can pretend we are in France.

I don't know why I keep giving le Bilboquet a chance? I want to support our local restaurants, and I live close by. the ambiance is fantastic, and the food is ok. but on this occasion - it was the worst I've experienced.... something has to change. it was a Sunday evening 7PM reservations, and it was actually very nice outside. so we arrived and valet the car walk across to the restaurant ( noting a bunch of open tables outside... walk in to the hostess stand, nobody there. literally waited 5-6 min as staff walk by, outside, inside - bartender gabbing with another employee, not even one person asked have you been helped, or just a moment ... no eye contact nothing. finally a young woman come up, no greeting. give her the name and literally she is staring into the ipad screen for minutes... saying nothing, not "just give me second, or hello or anything. then you get a terse "follow me" we ask can we sit outside? ... back to the screen... for 4 more min. then walk the "short way" past the storage closet out the back side door... where our table was last one on the corner... while there were tons other tables open. Not to mention NARs the makeup place was having an event and there was Loud rap music blaring... but that ended pretty soon. we were waiting for our friends to arrive, I asked for the waitress to open the wine I brought. "ok" and asked for water and bread. literally 15 min go by our friends by that time arrived. we have this magnum of red wine on the table ... but its not open. finally the waitress comes by totally forgetting about the wine bread and water. "let me go get it" ... 10 min more. nothing. finally our friends ask can we get water & bread... 5 min more it arrives. 4 pieces of cut up baguette, and butter. no water & still no wine opened. so finally we get the wine open, and order. then we wait and wait more. 25- 30 min before 3 salads come out. then the entrees come right after. I ordered the steak tartar and frites. right on the corner of my plate - a curly hair. then I decide do I send it back? or ignore it and eat? but since its raw... my wife says - he's got a hair on his plate. so they take it back... I'll show the chef." I don't know what that means. then 5 min later she comes back and says "the chef says that was a anchovy bone... they are very small, but they are remaking it for you." ( Now I digress - but I'm a trained CIA cook... worked in 3 star Michelin guide restaurants etc.. currently work in the food biz.. I don't remember anchovy's having curly round bones? ... but what ever".... meanwhile everyone else is eating. bring out the Tartare its actually good, I eat it. the Gm comes by - does not say anything, and starts to make small talk with the wives... I don't get it... oh, and our friends asked for more bread - which comes once we are completed with entrees? ... This place has good potential. but the way its being run, it will not last.... terrible stay away. go to Bistro Nikko - at least they have taken the time to train the staff.

10 out of 10 and shout out for our waiter Wick Dropik who stayed later so we could enjoy a post dinner drink outside on their lovely terrace. His service and kindness is appreciated … thank you Wick for being such a professional!!!

Such a wonderful spot to end the day! Impeccable service. Delectable menu. Wonderful atmosphere. This restaurant is a must when in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. Our group of ten or so were seated immediately and attended to by servers full of knowledge and personality. Each item I’ve ordered was beautifully served and delicious.

The place is beautiful and the outdoor dining is good when it is not raining. The menu is limited for lunch, but has a very good selection of salads, meats, and fish. The service was good as well and we enjoyed eating lunch outside. The stores in this shopping district are high end and varied. You will enjoy this restaurant and the surroundings.

This was a classy spot for brunch. We were visiting friends and it ticked the box perfectly. The crab and avocado salad was delicious and the steak tartare was apparently very good although it did contain anchovy I am told They are determined to seem authentic French here so it is the first time in 30 years I have been called mademoiselle! And the oui etc is irritating but it is a nice spot with plenty of local high end clientele. Must book

It is with regret that this review is necessary. I have tried to work with the restaurant for over a week to address my concerns with not even the courtesy of a reply. I never got to dine at this establishment. Unfortunately, I had to cancel and did so 2 1/2 days in advance. I received a confirmation email for the cancellation. Yet this establishment charged my card a $120 no show fee. Diners beware. They did absolutely NOTHING that would entitle them to charge me $120. They did not answer a phone to take the reservation as it was made online, and they did not lose business because of a no show. We did not eat there. We courteously cancelled the reservation well in advance. If my credit card company can not resolve it, I will be forced to take legal action. In a world of predatory companies, they are just one more vulture. The lack of customer service is consistent with other reviews I read. Sad. I take no pleasure in writing negative reviews.

My husband and I came for his birthday because we had heard good reviews and it did not disappoint! Our waitress, Brittany, was an excellent server and she really elevated our experience! She was well versed on the menu selections and even on the wine! She is a wonderful addition to their team! We would definitely visit again. Both our fun cocktails and dinners were excellent, we got the Cajun chicken and the veal. The atmosphere on the outdoor patio and the additional waitstaff were both excellent as well.

I really liked what I ordered, I had the beef tartare and I've never had food where I felt it on my taste buds entirely. I was really impressed. My husband really liked the cajun chicken saying it was very tender. The servers are nice as well.

I recently went to Le Bilbouquet to celebrate my birthday with a friend and I must say I was very disappointed. First we were seated at a tiny table in the corner where we did not even had space for the bottle of wine we ordered. The service was being slow and the restaurant was not e even busy, the waitress did not even refilled our wine glasses or checked on us through dinner. The food was also bad - we ordered a mushroom risotto and was not even salted. I will not return again

From greeting to departure we had an amazing experience at Le Bilboquet! My husband had the Signature Cajun Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and I had the Skirt Steak. Our meals were perfectly prepared and the service was outstanding. If you are looking for a restaurant with romantic ambiance and excellent food this is the place.

Only here for Martinis and charcuterie platter, which was quite good. The Martini selection was unique and very well prepared. Atmosphere was bright and sunny at the inside bar although you could dine outside if you chose. Seemed a bit too trendy & upscale for me but if that's your thing, get out your Fendi bag and saddle up to the bar.

As soon as you walk in the receptionist is arrogant and unfriendly. She mumbled something in her mask and gave us a dirty look. We inquired about a table and she said a hard "no". Didn't even wanted to help and figure something out. Place is pretentious and cold. We will never come back!

Delightful birthday dinner with family. We had an assortment of appetizers, mains and deserts. The Icelandic Cod was perfect. The tartar was good, but felt too many add ins rather just let the protein speak for itself. Service was attentive and professional. The front bar has a a really nice cocktail menu… I recommend the Old Cuban.

One more of several visits to Le Bilboquet. Being an unabashed Francophile, I would consider my standards for French bistros fairly high. That said this place never disappoints. While not possessing the antiquated patina of an authentic Parisian cafe, Le Bilboquet has nevertheless captured the convivial atmosphere you find in France. In addition to the ambiance, the food is outstanding. Service also is excellent, but the musical soundtrack (curated by Restaurant Manager Ilona Knoepfler) creates the appropriate energy to compliment any meal. Highly recommend.

What a great place!!! French inspired menu with all the right things. Has a great location and a fun feel. Service is amazing. The plates are beautiful and the you won't leave hungry.
