Voted top ten late-night restaurants ! Fries at any hour are welcome, especially when they are served addictively crispy , perfectly salted and served with Barbette's creamy aioli .
Had the ham and gruyere omelet . The greens were perfect, the gluten free bread was stellar, and the omelet was so fluffy and beautiful! The Art Deco is also super fun, and the service is great!
It may not scream "Bring your kids here!" yet many do - daily quiche and bakery specials are always full of seasonal ingredients and baked with loving care. Eggs Benedict is the must try.
French Bistro fair , small menu in american standards, authentic . People like the frites here (small cut twice fried I believe), you can order them as a side and skip the steak .
Great happy hour . $4 bubbles & $5 pommes frites are The Way.
The green curry/coconut mussels are to die for. Pair with the herbed Brie + bread for one of the best meals in Minneapolis.
Such an authentic and colorful place for lunch . Everyone was friendly and their sandwiches and fries are to die for.

Voted top 10 French Fries ! Not only are the fries at Café Barbette tasty, they're pretty, too.
This is a great brunch spot ! Excellent coffee ! It's rich and bold! The truffled eggs are decadent!
Truffled scrambled egg is to die for !! : ) Also the lemon and blueberry waffles !
Try the Whipped Truffle Brie . Just when you thought you couldn’t look at another brie , this whipped version lures you with an earthy touch of black truffles , elevating the cheese to a new form.
Fave date spot and fave lunch spot ! Great Champagne selection .
The croissants are 'old world' great. For breakfast , have the ham and gruyere (with caramelized onions )!
Royale with Cheese is the best burger I've had in Minneapolis. Brie , carmelized onions on an english muffin-y bun w/ side of hollandaise . Pure amazing ridiculousness. Order it! Read more
Best restaurant I've been to. Amazing brunch , great bloodys. Incredible omelette
It's hard to go wrong here, but the fries will remain a personal favorite, and their Bastille Day is a good time in the summer.
Great food and wonderful atmosphere. My favorite date night spot in Mpls
Late brunch until 5pm Saturday and Sunday for you rock stars out there.
I've only tried their oysters . They were ok (hard to compare to the ones we had in Seattle).
Chicken Hash is an outstanding, and healthy meal that will leave you wondering how it could be soooo good.
Love their happy hour specials !
Stellar cheese and wine specials are up on the blackboard.
Excellent evening spent here. Great wine list , moule fritte, lime basil creme brûlée ...
Share plates, go with the house red , it's all good
Hit the late-night happy hour and make a meal out of mussels and pommes frites .
Frites . Always the frites .
The Prix FIXE menu right now is amazing! Best scallops I've ever had.

Love the Cheese Plate and Wine Pairings .
The waffle is to die for! Heaven on a plate!6
The tasting of seasonal vegetables is outstanding. And the Nicoise Salad is also fantastic.
The frites are great, but heh, who doesn't like fried potatoes .
Bistro . Good atmosphere. Authentic feel
The mussels are simply Devine.
The beet salad was super delish. Also one of the cutest sidewalk patios in town .
Good food, not great food. Overpriced for what you get. Service is good. Can't go wrong with happy hour pomme frites .
My go-to brunch spot . Best French toast in town !
