    We've just had (another) fabulous meal at La Boheme! I wish I'd taken pictures of our fabulous brunch! Best hash browns EVER! We had a fabulous burger today, but there's something on the menu for everyone at any time of day they are open. The burger was topped with fresh crispy iceberg lettuce, a lush generous tomato slice and more....SO GOOD! Don't forget the delicious fries with the option to switch that to a green salad. Another favorite is the duck confit benedict. I don't think we've had that anywhere else and it's always delish! Both included breakfast options--hash browns or potatoes--are wonderful. If we get two breakfast options, we'll get one of each and share them. If you eat inside, and are relaxed, you may get confused and think you're in a French bistro in Paris. Included with your dining is a French chef, who is also a co-owner....Marie can often be heard speaking in French to other diners. In addition to lots of wonderful French staples, this can also be among your favorite breakfast spots. Yum, yum, yum!

    We had a nice Sunday brunch. The menu has many appetizing offerings. We had delicious scrambled eggs and omelet and a nice trout. The croissants had the right texture and tasted a little bland, the potato hash was plain and too crusty. The service was less attentive than usual. It was not very busy at noon time.

    Another wonderful experience at La Boheme. The menu has the favorites/Brasserie food like boeuf bourguignon and jarret d'agneau that keep us going back. Prices have gone up like, well, everywhere... but they remain reasonable for the area, the quality of the food, and the food portions. Dishes were plated well and seemed a little more decorative than usual. Service by Malik, Marie-Pierre, and others was apt as always. Looking forward to revisiting as well as introducing more groups to this place.

    Very cosy atmosphere. Food was excellent; not as fussy as some French restuarants, but excellent task and appearance. Relaxed dinner.
