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.

Both meal and service were excellent this Mothers Day evening. All at the table said good things. For me, I do love some perfectly tender, mouthwatering, sugar crisped burnt ends and tonight’s were spot on!! Add the sides and my tastebuds were tantalized and delighted. My increasing body circumference was annoyed, but life is. All in all, a happy outcome for all who dined at our table.
