The French Lady Restaurant

So glad we discovered this charming little place. Claude, the French lady, is not only an amazing cook, she is a warm and gracious host. Best French cooking in a long while, since our local favorites closed. We are now thinking of some good excuses to go back to Detroit and sample the rest of her menu.

Only one word describes this place. Wow! We ordered the savory quiche and crepes and they were amazing ! Claude and Estelle were so welcoming. Next time we are in Michigan we will eat here every day. It’s nice to see the owner take so much pride in her food. Thank you French Lady for the best breakfast ever!

We had our wedding shower there and they made a custom menu for our private event. Claude & Alexander were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They made our day feel very special. Both are incredible chefs and the cake they made us was amazing. I can’t say enough about our experience. I highly recommend this place.

Wow. Absolutely delicious! A hidden gem in Birmingham, MI.

Perfection

Very quiet and cozy cafe tucked in Birmingham. You notice extreme friendliness of the owner and the staff as soon as you step through the door. Cozily decorated and furnished, the tables will remind you of those nice, soft home dinners with family at the table. Now food. For the appetizer we had Vichyvoisse soup - delicate potatoes, leeks, and cream pureed soup, a heavenly cloud in a cup, served cold. I ordered cheese and ham crepe and my wife ordered goat cheese and mushroom quiche. Both came with the salad. The crepe was generously stuffed and cheese and ham, with some melted cheese on top. The flavors are perfectly balanced, a definition of a savory crepe. Quiche was so light and puffy, almost souffle-like, one tender bite melts in your mouth. For deserts we ordered chocolate mousse and blueberry vanilla tart. If you thought about the perfect ending to any meal, this was it. The perfect pairing for that was freshly grinded coffee with French sugar on the side. Can't recommend that place enough! Absolute gem of a place with a true French cuisine that's extremely hard to come by in Metro Detroit! Bon appétit! Viva la France!

We stopped in yesterday, excited to try this place! Such an intimate atmosphere; my attention was immediately drawn to the Camac. I love that they included it as part of the restaurant! Now on the the menu - simple yet SO complex with something for everyone. We ordered the carrot bisque and the sun-dried tomato quiche. They were worth the wait - you can taste the LOVE and PASSION they put into the food! The ingredients are so fresh and wonderfully combined. This is definitely a "sit back and relax, enjoy the atmosphere" restaurant. I can't wait to go back!
