We just ate breakfast there. Food was fantastic and delicious. We will go again and again. Go and try it. You certainly will love it. No wonder they were the winner of the best brunch in 2007.

I have been dining here since it opened. This is a great place, with consistently good food, and very cordial and overly accommodating owners. It receives an A+ from me.

This cozy French café lives up to its billing at the 2008 pick by Citysearch users for best brunch spot in L.A. The breakfast plates come so beautifully decorated with powdered sugar and strawberries carved to look like flowers. The paintings of Paris on the cream-colored walls and the French placemats decorating the table make diners feel transported to Europe. (The fact that a lot of the customers and wait staff speak French helps, too). From omletttes to traditional chicken dishes, Café Flore is a great destination for any meal. However, the big draw here has to be the crepes. The strawberry Nutella one I get is always so thin and crisp; it practically melts in your mouth. It doesn’t taste pancake-y like a lot of other American restaurants trying to do crepes. The salads and sandwiches are a tad more expensive than other area restaurants, but are clearly worth the extra few dollars as soon as you dig in. The turkey sandwich with apples, honey mustard sauce and Swiss cheese I guarantee with send your taste buds into ecstasy. Café Flore is definitely a brunch destination in L.A. that should not be missed!

Pros: food, ambience, service

Cons: small dining room

The place if very cute, small and very crowded and wait times can be long. Cool place to go for breakfast/brunch, but be forewarned, it is French restaurant and most of the wait staff are French, so expect the service to be slow and but surprisingly very friendly. Just like in Paris, except for being friendly :) Their eggs Benedict are really good. It's all about the bread they use. I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict. I would go again, but I will make a reservations. Their cheese platters looked interesting, but I haven't tried it yet. May be next time I will grab a bottle of wine from my house and try the cheese platter. A couple of months ago I was in Paris and went to Café De Flore in Saint-Germain, paid over $40 for a salad and a glass of wine, and let me tell you, the food in this little place here is a lot better the one in France.

I went on Sunday late morning with high hopes given the pedigree ( french, good reviews...) It was one of the biggest disapointments We ordered the chicken sandwich : it was bland , came without a sauce , having a yellow coating that was supposed to be saffron but it only had the color . The steack sandwich for $ 12 was also bland had the same lettuce . Finally we had hopes that the eggplant baguette might save the day but it was also bland ( the same tasteless sandwich ) I am not even sure if there were eggplants as I suspect that they were substituted with zucchini but I am not sure ( it tells you how indifferentiate the taste was) The server was nice but these people have to change the cook Where is the pesto , the goey eggplant , the marinated chicken , the caramelized onions that you get anywhere else cafe flore with such an illustrious name ( one of the nicest brasserie in Paris) does not live up to its name

Pros: service and clean place

Cons: food

My wife and I enjoyed this place soo much that we started telling our friends about this restaurant and so far, we've heard nothing but good comments about this place from our friends. Before you go, make sure you email them to make a reservation because they give you 20% discount for online reservation. Everytime when we go, we come out with a very full stomach and it didn't hurt our wallet at all.

Yum! Great place to go for brunch on a Sunday morning! My favorite is the Salmon Benedict, which is a twist on Eggs Benedict, but with Salmon instead of Canadian bacon - Mmm! All their other dishes are good too. I've also had their crepes (my favorite is Amaretto with blueberries, Chicken Farsi (Breast of chicken stuffed with goat cheese and herbs), Smoked duck ravioli, -- you just can't go wrong here! And, for all you fellow coffee lovers out there, this place has GOOD coffee! I don't know about you, but having bad coffee, no matter how great the meal is, just doesn't cut it for me. Their espresso is one of the best I have had. Come early, or as a small party, cause this place can get packed quick and there'll be a bit of a wait. But trust me, it's worth it!

Pros: Good food, good price

Cons: Slow service, small venue

Last Saturday night, I invited an out of town friend and his wife for dinner and wanted to keep the tab at a reasonable amount. I picked this place based on the reviews that were posted here on CitySearch and let me tell you, I am not disappointed at all. We started the meal with some pastry stuffed with goat cheese, the owner brought us an extra serving of this with a different taste because he was trying a new recipe and wanted to know our opinion, they were both delicious. We also had some strawberry/baby spinach salad, also great tasting. For dinner, we shared pumpkin ravioli, lamb chops, salmon fettuccini, and stuffed chicken breast. I liked the chicken breast the most but everything was delicious. We topped it all with a couple of nice fruit Crepes. Again, great stuff. The service was very good, a bit slow but the place was packed. If you are going on weekend, definitely make a reservation, or be ready to wait. Take your own bottle of wine, they don’t serve any, but you can get a bottle that you like and pay one third of what you normally pay in a restaurant.

Pros: Great Food, Reasonable Price

Cons: Small, no place to wait inside.
