I recently ate at French Meadow Cafe & Bluestem Bar and had a really enjoyable meal. They have a large number of vegan options, which makes it a great spot for anyone looking for plant based choices. I tried their dark chocolate sea salt cookie, which was rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. I also ordered a side of fruit, which was fresh and a nice complement to the meal. For my entree, I had a creamy mushroom pasta. I don’t remember the exact name, but it was very good and comforting, with a nice balance of creaminess and flavor. Overall, everything was well prepared, and I would definitely come back to try more from their menu.
Tried out French Meadow for the first time! Lots of options for breakfast along with the pastry and cake selections. Corn pancake - shareable for 2, add butter and put the pure maple syrup on it. It elevates the flavor of the pancake! Eggs Benedict - peppery but delicious hollandaise sauce and the hash browns were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside
I have been to this establishment a few times now. It not disappoint. Classy, if modern, atmosphere. A decently expansive menu. Good place to bring a date or just have a good lunch before running errands.
Had a delightful dinner here after a show at the Orpheum, the options were fresh, allergy friendly, and the service was professional and kind. Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food. Their vegan chocolate rose cake was such a treat!
Been here several times before. There are several locations, and this one on Lyndale is close to lots of retail shops and restaurants. There are plenty of seating options, including patio seating outside, indoor seating by the coffee area, or a more formal sit-down dining area with servers. Usually there is a line to place an order, but this time it was quiet. To order, they have a large wall-mounted menu board, or hard copy menus you can study at your table. The pastry case on the left as you approach the cashier is filled with croissants, muffins, scones, and other baked goods, with plenty of amazing choices. To the right are the more formal desserts, including cakes, tortes, and tarts. I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam). Normally I would get it in a mug, but we had to dash off. The barista did a nice job with steeping the tea and creating the extra foam. Next time we will stay for breakfast. A very nice place for breakfast, big or small.
