Le Bilboquet Buckhead Atlanta Review

I enjoyed the service and the meal very much. I had the duck and Brussels sprouts. The food was excellent!!

My wife and I dined at Le Bilboquet last night. Top notch and authentic! We'll definitely be back. The Cajun chicken was exceptional!

An upscale French restaurant in the heart of the streets of buckhead. Food is reasonably good at reasonable prices. Elegant but simple. Consistently good food and service. Not 100% authentic French food, but the closest you ll find in Atlanta.

Love eating here in the summer when you can sit outside!

One of my favorites. The most friendly and professional staff you will find in the city. Risotto, crab and avocado salad and the cajun chicken. The atmosphere of the patio on a warm day is second to none. Great place for a special birthday with a sparkler brought to your table. Bar is open from lunch onwards .

This was a very nice FRENCH RESTAURANT the food was Amazing the staff was very friendly the restrooms were very clean the restaurant it self was very very clean I will definitely be back.

The atmosphere was good but the was just ok in my opinion. My friends however loved the food!

I will never get back in this restaurant. Had a business meeting and because I was wearing legs , they didn t allow me to have a table . If is not discrimination what the heck it is ? Or maybe because I have Latin features ? You don t do that to people. I have money to pay , Shane on you guys ! Shame on you!!

Fine French cuisine I absolutely enjoyed it cest magnifique

The food, the ambience, the staff... excellent all around! Great find!

Very bad customer service, waiter was rude and in general badly trained behavior, outfit like this would go out of business in 1 week in France.

He told us to leave because we arrived there and waited a very long time to be served, when he finally came he said why we are eating our gelato there, and asked us to leave. Really not acceptable.

One of the best restaurants in Atlanta - located in the heart of the new Buckhead Atlanta premium outdoor mall, this French Bistro has out-of-this-world filets and their fries are crispy and delicious! A woman two tables down from us just had fries for dinner - they're that good! We'll certainly be back and can't wait for round TWO!

Love this place. Never disappointed. Good food, great service. Had a birthday party, arrangements made for 20 ppl. We all had a great time. Jennifer made sure everything was taken care of.

Crispy octopus was excellent. Cajun chicken was better. Service was decent.

It's a fancy high end dinner associated with Chanel. French restaurant with lots of classics. Food was amazing because it accentuated the freshness of the ingredients. The seasoning was minimal on the skirt steak but chimichurri sauce highlights the meat. Definitely recommend the charcuterie for appetizers. We also got the duck and it rich and savory.

Ok!
Need more attention with guests

Absolutely amazing French cuisine, multilingual waiters, and charming atmosphere with good lighting. The prices are also incredibly fair.

On my birthday, I visited Le Bilboquet with app. 15 other people. It was my first visit. Although they are not set up for large parties, they were very accommodating. My grandmother (dementia) and deaf aunt were with me. Our server took his time with them. They also had an enjoyable evening. The food was awesome. Our server was OUTSTANDING. It was a fun rewarding experience. The food, ambience, and service is worth the cost.

Good French cuisine. Rude/hurried service. Intentionally unimaginative menu is cool when done flawlessly with great service. When done ok with mediocre service this place is a skip for me.

great place. the spicy chicken cajun which their is their signature dish was amazing, best chicken i ever had

Great atmosphere, amazing service, delicious entrees and cocktails. What more could you ask for?

Food very delicious. I split the mussels entre and they put it in separate bowls, gave separate ketchup for the fries. They got that extra 2% level of service. Made sure our waters were filled and removed dishes that were finished right away. Asked in a timely manner if we needed anything else. Never had to flag our server down. I believe his name was Phillip. He was very professional and such a wonder server. Made my experience here such a good one.
I also came again and sat at the bar (table) and the bartender was our server and did not rush us when we wanted recommendations for drinks and heard what we liked to drink and recommended the best cocktails they have. Highly recommend!
For fruity cocktail lovers, Afternoon in Nice is great. For light and refreshing cocktail lovers, I highly recommend the pamplemousse Royal. Can't wait to go back!
Not to mention the ambiance and aesthetics of the restaurant is super cute.

Slow service, too expensive, didn t get our reservation for 8 people outside correct. Said it wasn t possible to reposition a heater even though it had been requested in our reservation. I was expecting an experience and I didn t get it. Especially for the price. Unfortunately the staff just dropped the ball.

When our charcuterie board was brought out they didn t even present the items on the board. I know that sounds silly... but when you re paying top dollar at a 4$$$$ location you should expect good service!

Consistently rude, obnoxious service.. and a $13 latte! The food can be decent here but every time I'm here, the service is atrocious. Furthermore, $13 for a latte with an extra shot?! literal daylight robbery... I'm done.

The staff is the best!!! Always coming back to check on you, and they have the best octopus I ve ever had!! Supper yum.

Company was grand . Service was average . Ambience decent . Steak and fries, wretched . Wanna good steak ? Go to Pappadeauxs ...yes it surprised me too!

Don t skip the tuna tartare, you ll regret not having it. The risotto was decadent. Cocktails were delightful fresh and fruity. Our waitress was lovely. All around great experience.

Very fresh ingredients and nice food presentation. However the staff is a bit "ghetto" for a place this highly priced in Buckhead. Would not recommend.

Very good food. Good service. Weird music which distracted us.

The food was phenomenal. I had the duck and wife had the Beef Bourg

We came in for dinner on Sunday night with some folks who can be picky eaters. We've only been here for lunch and always have had a great experience. Dinner was wonderful. The menu has something for everyone. We had a vegan, pescatarian and a meat eater Service is top notch and you can't beat the mussels. We ordered dessert for the first time and had the napoleon. It's so light and fluffy! We will definitely be back. Everyone was happy. Thanks for being so consistent in a cozy setting.

Pros-
The server was polite
Our water glasses were never empty
The hostess was polite
Outdoor seating was available, though hot, they can't control the weather

Cons-
The duck was over cooked and dry
The foie gras was under seasoned
The overall meal was bland

To be a French restaurant the DUCK and the FOIE GRAS have to be up to par.

We went yesterday, and while I waited on my boyfriend to arrive, I was provided bread so that was a treat. However, the location is in Buckhead Shops so the quality has to be outstanding, and they were just meh.
For the price point- which isn't ridiculous- the food was just very disappointing.

I had a nice bone to give to my dogs and fed them the dry meat from the duck. Such a shame because I wanted to "splurge" and as I am a pescatarian and I feel like I wasted my splurge on rubbery, bland food.

Delicious brunch! Service was fantastic and the food was fresh and tasty!

WOW is the only word that comes to mind. The atmosphere of the place was great, the food was absolutely spectacular, we had escargot, fois gras and beets for an appetizer, for our main course we had the duck which was incredible and the mussels which were the best mussels Ive ever had. The service was amazing as well. Literally, a five star experience.

Not worth the hype. We went for a birthday dinner on 04/18 with great expectations given the good reviews. I had made reservations over two weeks in advance, yet they didn t have a table available when we got to the restaurant. The drinks took forever to come and were not good at all, even though the place was not full (seemingly removed tables for added spacing). Our table was uneven, and our very inattentive server never fixed the issue. We had to repeatedly ask for our drinks (over 20 minutes wait!) and correct our food orders more than once. Common high end restaurant service was severely lacking from this place: no proper table service, no adequate silverware and glassware, no suitable utensils (steak knife), and a scarce service. To top it off, it was a warm evening, and they kept the doors open and the AC off, making the place hot and uncomfortable for indoor guests. Would not return and would definitely NOT RECOMMEND.

Excellent food. I had mussels, lump crab and avocado salad, scallops and the divine meringue desert. The crusty bread is so delicious. The service is simply outstanding!

Located in the new Buckhead, this quaint but thoroughly modern, beautifully finished, elegantly appointed little French oasis is quite simply a joy to behold. With the classic selection of breads including croissants, brioche, and baguette, a wonderfully prepared selection of French entrees with a decidedly Americanized touch, creatively prepared omelettes with fresh ingredients of your choosing, there are few better ways to spend Sunday brunch.

Romantic location and atmosphere. It can get a bit cramped during evening and lunch times. I suggest reservations. Good food and service with indoor and outdoor dining options.

Tasty! Mentally! Atmospheric! As in Europe! I recommend to everyone. This is a bombically tasty establishment.

Went a couple weeks back for lunch. Food was pretty good, but service was clumsy and seemed inexperienced.

Love the place. Good food welcoming crew and very good service.

Can't beat the patio in the late afternoon/evening for ambience. Charcuterie was priced well with little room for improvement. The salmon, however, I cannot stop thinking about that perfect sear. Highly recommend.

My wife and I shared the crab and tuna apps. Both were great. Crab highly recommended. For the main course, we split the cajun chicken and prime NY strip, both with frites. Solid portions and both were perfectly prepared and excellent with a nice sized leftover nosh. Outdoor seating and impeccable service rounded a good Covid outing.

Loved it! Loved the Food. Loved the French Atmosphere.!!

In non-covid19 times I'd be rating this 5 stars, but social distancing was non-existent, noisy patrons, and could have done more. The cocktails are still great.

Had the cajun chicken. It was so tender and sliced perfectly. The server was very attentive. Parking is validated if less than 3 hours.

My wife and I dined here for our Anniversary. We had been looking for a place that served mussels and escargot. We thought we had found the perfect place. However, we will not be returning here due to the horrible service we received.
We ordered a bottle of Champagne to celebrate and we were presented with white wine glasses. We thought it was a little weird they didn't provide champagne flutes. This was overlooked until later on in our meal, when we noticed other tables with flutes. We asked our server for flutes and she provided them just in time for our last glass. Not sure if the server was not trained properly (she also struggled with opening the bottle) or just an oversight.
The escargot was just meh. Not sure if the snails were fresh, we have had better. The foie gras was tasty. We then ordered the mussels and Jackpot!!! This was what we had been waiting for. They tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned and it was divine. It was so delicious, we ordered another order with our entree course. Steak tartare was good as well. We had ordered a bottle of wine with our entree and it went downhill from here. After our entree course, our server pulled a disappearing act. Not to be seen!!!! We even poured our own wine during dinner. The kicker was we wanted to take the left over mussels home and we asked for our food to be packaged. Rather than pack our food, we busser brought us a togo deli cup dropped it off on our table and just left. It seemed odd that other tables had their food packed. For all their policies and standards on trying to keep this restaurant upscale, they should really focus on their service first!!! I have had better service at WAFFLE HOUSE compared to this establishment.

Great dining atmosphere. Great & helpful staff. Food was really good & presented well.

Great place for lunch/dinner. The Cajun Chicken is the ultimate dish there.

Excellent food and service! We had a wonderful experience.

Duck confit was over-cooked, completely dried out and very chewy. Waiter then had the audacity to say it s supposed to be dry and chewy. Have you never had duck confit before? HA! Gordon Ramsay would ve thrown him and the dish in the trash.

Worst duck and experience I've had. More disappointing than the final season of Game of Thrones. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Don t trust these google reviews - check out yelp.

Laughable.

French fries were decent - tasted like a fancy take on Burger King and McDonalds if I m being completely honest.

UPSIDE: Escargot and chicken were delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked.

All in all, should ve stuck with Bistro Niko! Much better at actually being authentically French.

Ps. To be fair, since this place had no A/C in the dead of summer, the real chefs may have stepped outside to cool down and forgot that the duck was cooking.

It was like being in Paris again! The Croque Madame is divine! Can't wait to return!

Nice brunch awesome service five star all the way!!!

This restaurant is in the middle of an outdoor shopping area. There is valet parking for the shopping center not the restaurant, on a Saturday night it was very busy and slow. There is no dedicated restaurant valet, so you pay for it More

Delicious! You can't go wrong with any choice on the menu. I highly recommend the Cajun chicken entree and fried octopus appetizer. Best French cuisine in Atlanta.

Lovely intimate and fun restaurant with lots of choices and a great by the glass wine list along with bottles. Outside are warming fire pits with outdoor furniture for long Spring evening conversations. Friendly staff as well

Had a very disappointing experience today at Le Bilboquet. Do not go here if you have any kind of dietary restriction because apparently the "chef" will not accommodate any modifications of the menu. Our waiter was also unsympathetic. He did not even ask what temperature for salmon so had to send it back. Will definitely never go back!

One of my favorite places to hang and see the pretty people!

We always come here for casual meals while shopping and never had a bad experience. The food is always on point. I love mushroom risotto and tabouleh for appetizers. Bread is really good. Fish dishes and duck are terrific. Coffee is great and cucumber martinis are stellar. This place allows dogs inside its dining room, which I absolutely love and my pooch appreciates. The restaurant is also an amazing (quirky) people watching spot.

Great spot for brunch and/or drinks, especially when the weather is nice.

Love the atmosphere. So bright. Loud on a Saturday afternoon and I wish they would play French music. But food, wine, and service are great.

Just a disappointment. I read the reviews and was looking forward to a pleasant experience and it never came. There was one large occupied table at the time we got there, our party of two, and they sat us next to them ? The rest of the place was empty.
Sunday service was lacking good waitstaff. We got the preloaded everything ok . My veal was floating in sauce? And sadly the manager never even acknowledged our presence.
The location was convenient, music was fun, great mix, and the place was pretty. Maybe it was a Sunday and the B team was working?

Everything was so good. Risotto was out of this world, Cajun chicken was perfectly cooked, chocolate mousse was amazing, even the bread and butter was top notch. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. My only complaint was the bussers were a little too aggressive. Would clear things while I was literally chewing my last bite, or in the case of our bread, took it before we were done. Minor annoyance though, the food made up for the service timing issues.

Great food! Perfect service. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Such a beautiful place to dine.

Great food and decor. Servers were Great. Had a reservation for 6:00. Were seated away from others. This was easy as few people there. At 7, as our main came, out a table of 4 was seated next to us. They were not 6 feet away, did not have masks and were enjoying themselves. This was unsettling to us as we are seniors and it was so unnecessary as the place was at most 30% capacity. We questioned the young lady who seated us as we left, why. She said it was for the servers convience , as the tables were close together. WOW. THE SERVERS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE CUSTOERS. Guess while we love the place, we will not be back any time soon.

Delicious food and wine! Can t go wrong with anything here.

Nice atmosphere as many reviews said, but I didn t get why all the hype about the food. Average quality of ingredients.

Favourite restaurant in Atlanta. Good food and nice selection of wines. The best thing about this restaurant is their friendly staff.

Truly amazing, this little French restaurant is classy , sexy and great for every occasion . You must have a great palate to appreciate the flavors they offer. It is $$$$ but worth it. Easy valet parking and great area to walk around.
