    A hidden gem of French gastronomy in Ocala FL. We have stopped in Ocala over the years while driving in I-75 to dine at La Cuisine and always loved it. Chef-owner, family and staff are very welcoming. Menu is always fresh with new dishes and outstanding culinary quality. Service is impeccable. Highly recommended.

    I found the food a little salty. This is probably my own taste since I usually don't add or cut in half the salt in a recipe. Other than that I found the food very good.

    Always a great experience at La Cuisine. Introduced some friends and they will be back also! Cannot beat the braised short ribs and the Steak Tartare is one of our favorite appetizers anywhere. The service was amazing as always! You just cannot go wrong with this gem!

    Yet another fantastic dining experience at La Cuisine! This time we brought friends who had not been there before, but kept asking about it. They loved it! I tired something different this time—the Beef Bourguignon over fettuccini noodles. It was SO GOOD. French comfort food. But before the main course my table shared escargot. My guests said it was the best they ever had. The salads were so fresh, and of course you can't forget my favorite part of the meal—the fresh baked bread! Everybody loved their meals, and the owner, Elodie was nice enough to stop by and say "hi" for a bit. Looking forward to many more visits to La Cuisine!
