Great spot for Brunch ! Brioche Pain Perdu with honey was fantastic. However, there was a surcharge added to the bill which made paying the check a little confusing, but the delicious food was worth it

Bommy

Fabulous brunch spot and everyone knows it. Get here early or wait forever. Try goat cheese scrambled eggs with a side of spicy merguez sausages . Skip the gingerbread pancakes ; too dense and doughy.

Anissa Sales

OMG! Spur of the moment breakfast with my son. He absolutely loved the french toast ! I really enjoyed the ham and cheese omelette with potatoes . The food and atmosphere were amazing!

Shayan Sanyal

Great spot for brunch . I’d give the bread basket/viennoiseries a pass tbh. Pretty dry. The goat cheese scramble is to die for however. The coffee is pretty good. Pancakes were dry.

Lovely French breakfast ; good to pair with a day trip to Berkeley, but not quite worth the trip on its own. Go when it's warm to sit in the courtyard out back. Get there early or wait for hours.

Paul Otis

La Note has great pancakes with le creme, everything there is amazing. Hard to believe that no one has reviewed this restaurant . It's in DT Berkeley and is packed every morning! Garden eating in back.

ScottySauce

Get the BRIOCHE PAIN PERDU - Three generous slices of cinnamon brioche soaked in orange water batter sprinkled with lavender honey . This is one of the best versions of a french toast I have ever had.

Megan Allison

I've not been particularly impressed with the food at brunch/lunch, but the back patio is a lovely place to sit a while.

Paul Otis

Their pancakes are wonderful, everything is great though and fresh. Creme Fraische pancakes . Yummy. Omelets and sausage good as well . Not your typical breakfast place. It's an experience.

Reuben Prichard

Atmosphere, service, and food are great! Serving pancakes with corn syrup makes them non-descript. Would recommend adding a bit of real maple syrup to the corn syrup or just use pure maple syrup .

Katy

One of my favorite restaurants in Berkeley! Bring your close friends for quintessential European ambiance, music from the heart of Paris, and amazing food!

Garric Sullivan

Wow this place is fantastic. Great French atmosphere. Try the French toast with chocolate hazelnut spread. Wonderfully sweet.

The Taste Sheriff

Excellent. Authentic French fares, reasonable prices. Sandwiches are fantastic but never pass on their specials, they're really good. Portions are European!

Sritej Attaluri

The food is good but I tried to pronounce an item on the menu with a French accent and the waitress hit me on the head with a large wooden spoon and said "NO OMELETTE DU FROMAGE FOR YOU"

Ryan Leggett

Woah. Great food and huge portions . Sharing is caring here. Get something with bread and something with eggs and revel in all the deliciousness.

Ryan Landry

Put up with the wait time to get a seat in the back garden . Beautiful!

Danny Trejo

Be sure to get here early, this is a very popular brunch spot . Worth the wait. Checkout the book store next door while you wait.

Anne M

Cute spot, great service, delicious coffee . Not sure it's worth the massive lines outside, but a pretty good place if you can time it right

Jordan M

Prime window seating + omelette + grapefruit = perfect power breakfast

Matthew Seife

Try the burger - great flavor, with huge tomatoes , onions and cheese . Also recommend starting with one of the cheese appetizers

The chicken apple sausage is spot on. The semolina pain perdu is fantastic. Wish I could get a side of ratatouille on any order.

Paul Mederos

Weekend brunch is fabulous. Loved the Cote Sud w/ roasted tomatoes .

Be ready to wait, but so worth it. Order the Lucas eggs , super fluffy and creamy! Big latte bowls.

The flavored steamed milk , pastries , and any of the pan purdu things are amazing!

Amazing pastries and egg dishes . Can’t go wrong.

Reem A

Great place to get French brunch in the Bay Area. Good for groups . Make sure you sit in the back patio .

Shirley Lau

Have always enjoyed their dinner more than the brunch food here. Flat iron steak !

Nabeel Hyatt

Sit outdoors, get a latte in a bowl like it's supposed to be served and escape for an hour. All the food is good, except gingerbread pancakes which were too sweet for me.

Prathyusha Gogineni

The cinnamon brioche Pain perdu is amazing a must try !

Brian Strauss

Your lengthy wait at brunch will be rewarded with perfect scrambled eggs . Get the merguez sausage to go with.

Go Find Alice

The bouillabaisse was good. Great date spot ! ;)

Sushrut Pavanaskar

Best brunch in Berkeley which already is, u know, Berkeley!!! Bread basket is a must with any order on any table.

Emma Hacker

La Note is small and very busy, which does lead to slow service. The tea was not strong enough for my taste but otherwise everything was excellent. I would come back for the french toast .

J T

Famous for brunch , but there's dinner three days a week, and it's very good. Try the vegetarian ravioli .

Melissa Zhang

Raspberry oatmeal pancakes , caramelized potato and onion omelette , and strawberry steamed milk . Period.

Stephanie Lockner

Anything is amazing here from the Brioche to the Omelette Fromage et Jambun

Aneilia McDermott

Great food! Cute interior. Long wait - get there before you are hungry :)

Sarah Strehler

This brunch was sooooo good, and a cute little eclectic building. Pancakes FTW!

Cathy Cooper

Good country French food . Great service.

heathr gold

The oatmeal is the one thing here I really don't like. Heads up that it will be like a loose soup infused with fruit .

Avery Pursell

The Ratatouille Madame is awesome and the Corque Madame damn good also!

Sara AlShaker

Out-of-this-world scrambled eggs with goat cheese and a side of roasted tomatoes !

Matt Mayo
