Okay, I haven’t been so ecstatic for a while now! This place has been my discovery of the year! We found it by accident on Google and I fell for the reviews and the menu.I’m so happy we got here! We got carrot bisque, it was incredible. Silky soft, smooth, rich and creamy. It felt like this dish was making love to my mouth! We also got quiche with mushrooms and goat cheese. It comes with the light salad, tomatoes and balsamic a sauce (I think..). The quiche beyond satisfying. The crust is there, fresh and light, quiche mouse has a rich creamy, and cheese flavour, it’s lighter than air and melts in your mouth right alway. Bomb! And we closed it with beef bourguignon. Braised beef in wine sauce was very soft, glistening, and juicy, comes with rice and a some vegetable (forgot it’s name). On desert we got chocolate mousse and crème caramel, delicious! What can I say, this place is exceptional! They use only fresh produce bought only at farmers markets, they cook fresh daily from scratch. I believe they also change a menu every day. Claude and young women that helps her are so nice and lovely. It was simply a pleasure be there and chat with them! A few customers came in and Claude welcomed them personally. Some reviews were saying the food is pricey, but since it’s fresh food they use and Birmingham, that’s totally makes sense.

Very quiet and cozy cafe tucked in Birmingham. You notice extreme friendliness of the owner and the staff as soon as you step through the door. Cozily decorated and furnished, the tables will remind you of those nice, soft home dinners with family at the table.

Such a cute place! Claude is the chef and owner who mostly runs the whole place herself! She is a very cute, kind lady. We went here for lunch and got a savory crepe and quiche. The menu changes daily since Claude makes everything from scratch also based on seasonal ingredients. The food was amazing – the quiche was so fluffy and soft, perhaps even better than the quiches I’ve had in Paris! The crepe was similar to the authentic crepes I’ve had in france before as well. I appreciate that the portions are filling but won’t leave you uncomfortably full. Go here if you’re looking for authentic French cuisine – very cute ambience as well 🙂

We stopped in yesterday, excited to try this place! Such an intimate atmosphere; my attention was immediately drawn to the Camac. I love that they included it as part of the restaurant!

OK so this was a new adventure for me and my godson. We are trying new culture of food. This was a new flavor. My godson was not the biggest fan but I thought it was OK. The carrots were amazing and the beef was tender. The sauce was different. It’s a up and coming restaurant

Devine. I wanted to check this place out as I was running errands. I brought home savory crepes, croissants, and a sandwich. Heated in the oven and everything was wonderful. You can taste the difference in their farm to table approach. Everything was bursting with flavor and freshness. Can’t wait to dine in.

This was such a charming little place with the most authentic and delicious casual French food. Had the croque monsieur, the quiche provence and the mixed vegetable soup…all were wonderful. The cappuccino was also better than any coffee shop I’ve tried. Loved the little meringues we got with the bill! Had to buy a jar of the homemade peach/cherry jam to take home, and it was also just amazing. Everyone should make the time to try this gem of a place!

Had some errands to run in Downtown Birmingham, and thought I’d stop in to check out The French Lady. It also happens to be restaurant week in Birmingham, so they had items not always on their menu.
