My experience in France is that you go to the simplest of cafes, roadside stands, even gas stations, and get amazingly good tasting simple fare. This is that type of cafe experience. Cute, cozy atmosphere, not a lot of seating, but outstanding simple French-inspired creations.

This is our number one choice when in Basalt for lunch

I m partial to the Turkey sandwich on a baguette. Served with potato salad. Simple but delicious!


Update 2020: A couple, Anabel and Alejandro bought and have been running Cafe Bernard for a couple of years now. The food was good before, it s even better now! Alejandro is an amazing chef! Still our favorite in Basalt (and the whole mid-valley).

They kept the menu pretty much intact but have added their own twists. Great food before......even better now! Still with a French-inspired influence. My favorites are the eggs Benedict, the salad Nicois and whatever special Alejandro has created for the day.

You won t be disappointed!
