    The experience is truly what wins the cake here.

    We started with their special soup a butternut squash with what I believe was maple and maybe brown sugar. It reminded me of the holidays: comforting, warm, and absolutely delicious.

    Our second appetizer was the Ris de Veau. I wanted to expand my palate… and unfortunately, that was not my best idea. I’m not picky at all, but this dish just wasn’t for me and ours was slightly undercooked. That said, our server handled it wonderfully, had it sent back immediately, and removed it from our bill with no hesitation. The service alone deserves recognition.

    For our main dishes, everything was solid. I ordered the porc and was especially excited about the port and cranberry reduction and it absolutely delivered. So flavorful and rich. The sautéed sweet potatoes were good, but the real surprise was the braised cipollini onions. I never thought I’d crave eating an onion by itself… yet here we are. Lol.

    My husband ordered the Truite. The flavor was great, but the temperature was a bit off. It wasn’t undercooked or overcooked it just wasn’t warm. He still finished it, and I tried it as well. We both loved the creamy parmesan risotto that came with it.

    This is the perfect place for romance. It’s unique, intimate, and the ambiance is something you truly have to experience for yourself.

    Food was amazing! Staff was knowledgeable about what items were gluten free. I have celiac and pretty sensitive to cross contamination and had no issues. Can’t wait to go back!

    People were friendly, the place was modern and clean, food was good However the prices were ridiculous… 4 people over $500.00. We won't return. ☘️✌️

    A lovely French restaurant in this cute little town! It is located on the second floor so be prepared to walk up a bit. Service is great and our server is polite, professional, and adds a little sense of humor!

    This restaurant has a great selection for soup of the day which I would recommend trying. My highlight is a special dessert called “Le Louvre chocolate mousse” The presentation and flavor are great!

    One bite and it's easy to tell these chefs know what they're doing. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The staff was attentive and personable, and the atmosphere was surprisingly comfortable with music and heaters for their outdoor dining area. We are looking to go back again soon

    My friends and I had the pleasure of eating lunch at Cafe des Amis today. I ordered the rainbow trout which came with a salad with the perfect amount of dressing. The portion size of fish was large as the photo shows. Warm bread with lavender butter was also brought to the table. For dessert I chose to be adventurous and had an almond and pistachio cake topped with a strawberry mousse and a strawberry sauce. It was like eating heaven. Our waitresses were friendly and attentive. I was full but not stuffed. My bill was $23 , such a reasonable price for a delectable meal.

    What a hidden jewel!! We are so happy to have found Cafe Des Amis. Yes it’s just as good as it looks! This was our second time back and and it definitely will not be our last. Such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We enjoy sitting at the bar so we can visit with the owner Guillaume who most assume is just a French waiter. Thanks again for wonderful food and service!
