Three delightfully decorated halls in the Empire style that dominated
the Napoleonic era give the restaurant the intimate character
that guests treasure. An exquisite cuisine, prepared with French savoir-faire
and showcasing the finest fresh regional products.

    Our dinner was outstanding! My husband had the lobster bisque, nicely flavored while I had the creme brulee foie gras, which was really outstanding. My husband had a generously sized steak tartar with a green salad for his main, while I had the cod, super fresh and perfectly cooked, served with an assortment of vegetables!. We shared a beautiful chocolate mousse for desert. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with their extensive French wine list.

    Excellent service and all around experience. Great presentation, especially the bird-carved twists in our cocktails.

    We have  been coming here for many years and it continues to amaze us how wonderful everything is. We had the chef’s menu and everything was prepared and presented beautifully. We are looking forward to our visit again next year. Bonaparte is our favorite restaurant in the world.

    I am a true foodie and have travelled extensively. Our experience was heavenly! Excellent service, fabulous food, elegant setting —- and unbelievably filling portions! How is this place not rated #1 in the city?!
