Dined with friends in upstairs dining area. Very pleasant once fans were shut off which took the chill out of the room. Excellent drinks, food and service. One of our favorite restaurants in New Smyrna Beach.

We have eaten at the cafe many times. While the dinner menu is excellent, we particularly love going for breakfast. The crepes are so delicious, especially my favorite, the ratatouille crepe. Pair it with some breakfast potatoes and a glass of wine and I’m in heaven. This morning my husband decided to try the omelette with smoked salmon. He said it was the bast omelette he’d ever had. My brother and sister-in-law both had the Croque Madam and both were delighted with their choice. We’re never disappointed with our experience at Voo Lay Voo Cafe.
