Best Lunch Restaurants in Saratoga

Such a unique experience. From the decor to the menu. We keep it simple - salad, cheese fondue and of course, a dark chocolate extravaganza for desert. Service is efficient and friendly. I know people think of La Fondue as a special occasion place, but it really shouldn't be.

My wife and I had a terrific Valentine’s Day dinner and drinks. The prix-fixe menu options were excellent. The oysters, tuna tar-tar, strip steak were done perfectly. The bread pudding was possibly the best I’ve ever eaten. My wife’s halibut may have been a touch overdone—but just a touch and that’s only relative to everything else being absolutely perfect. The service was prompt, courteous and pro-active. The atmosphere and large table in a cozy nook was perfect, too. Highly recommend!

There definitely is a reason why this restaurant has withstood the test of time in upscale Saratoga. It might not be the fanciest place in town, nor is it the most expensive. However, the menu is simple yet offers a good selection of entrees. On a busy Valentine's night, entrees were served hot and timely, fresh warm rolls were plentiful, and service was excellent!

Incredible food and top-notch service! The staff was welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. Paella Negra was a standout—flavorful and beautifully presented. The ambiance was cozy & elegant at the same time which is perfect for celebrations Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

It was a pleasure to have Christmas Eve dinner at La Mere Michelle. We appreciated the warm, friendly, welcome when we arrived. The French Onion Soup was delicious, complete with a thick layer of cheese. The Chicken Tarragon entree was the best I've ever had with a Tarragon reduction that was divine. My family member ordered the Chicken Forestiere with wild mushroom cream, also delicious. Both entrees had plenty of sauce unlike some restaurants that only provide a few tablespoons, were served with green beans and scalloped potatoes, and were pleasantly filling. We didn't leave hungry. A slice of chocolate hazelnut cake with excellent flavor finished the meal.
