Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Golden Valley

My friend and I were able to enjoy a delicious lunch in a beautiful, quiet setting perfect for catching up. Our server was wonderful! We were welcomed, encouraged to take our time and received the very best service. The lobster rolls were yummy and the tea beautiful in its unique container and warming on a cold day. For anyone weary of extremely noisy restaurant, Nicollet Island Inn will become your favorite with its charm and beauty.

You can't beat Ladies' Night at Patrick's Cafe! The service is wonderful, the French bread is delicious and unending. Try the escargot. The Fillet Mignon is a steal at $33. On this special night (Mondays and Wednesdays) if you are a gal, and order an entree, your glass of wine is $3 and your scrumptious dessert is also $3! We'll go often!

This is a very underrated breakfast experience in the Twin Cities. You can park for free with a validation and have a very quiet, mellow brunch with a breakfast cocktail and not get the side-eye on a weekday morning. I work overnights and 72 hour shifts. It’s really a treat to go here to decompress in a benign space after an extended shift. The food is superlative, French inspired; indulgent, but not gutbusting. The waitstaff are outstanding and top-notch. Kind of hate to share this review because it’s my secret!
