Really hot day and AC not working. But at least lots of flies.
Weโve been wondering why we hadnโt tried this place in our 5 years living nearby. Now we know, because it just doesnโt stack up. 100 degree heat index and they have the windows open and the AC struggling, older couple seated near us were almost sick from the heat. My food was ok, I liked the crab and avo salad and lobster pasta, but my wifeโs halibut had an awful pungent smell that made me gag. The evening was ruined by oppressive heat, pungent smell and flies all over inside. Didnโt even look at dessert menu so we could just get home and cool down. Never again; weโll stay with our usuals like Toulouse, Origin, Doce Mesas and Sachet.

From the first step through the door our visit was a perfect experience. From the hostess, to our server Patrick, to the bread and butter man, to the food runner, everything was on point. We had Filet Au Poivre, Veal, Branzino - everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Patrick knew when to be at the table and when to be away. This was a birthday celebration for a friend. It was my and my wifeโs first visit however this restaurant is a favorite with the birthday celebrant. It is now way up on our list. And oh, the seating indoors and out is very refined and pleasant. Reminiscent of a cafe in France. This is a very fine establishment. Highly recommended.

This was a fantastic dinner. We had the Beet Salad, Carpaccio, branzino and pork chop. Only pork chop I have had that was better was Bouchon in Santa Barbra, branzino had crispy skin and was easily the best I have had, we are going back on Wednesday for lunch. First Friday of the month has Flamenco dancing across the street at Cafe Madrid.
Be the first to ReplyJust OK
Humm......not really sure what all the fuss is about, I found this restaurant just ok. My girlfriend had the Southwestern Eggs, which was actually very good. I had (at the waiter's recommendation), chicken Paillard which was just kind of meh. Chicken with a tiny bit of salad and a mound of french fries. Our waiter was forgetful and we sat for several minutes waiting for various things. Not sure what the brown paper on top of the tablecloths thing is all about, it just seems to make a mess and exaggerate every drop of water. When I asked for a side plate for my bread and butter, the waiter brought one anyway but stated "Oh this is French style, you just use the brown paper" What? I have been to France many times, being from England, and have never heard of such a thing! The manager or owner, not sure what he was, was actually trying very hard visiting all the tables. Perhaps brunch was not the best time to go,
Be the first to ReplyPricey but an exceptional dinner
I typically review with a sense of "value", price paid overall versus quality of product and service. Le Bilboquet delivers solidly as one of the best French experiences in Dallas.
Our reservation for 4 was honored on time, and we sat on the covered porch area on a cool evening. Should have brought the sport coat. We ordered an excellent Pinot Noir fairly priced at 2X retail cost.Our group sampled a few starters, all exceptional. Particularly good was the mushroom soup (du jour) which is very tasty but not cream based. Frites came in a very generous portion (suitable to be split by 3 - 4 persons) but without ketchup on the side. That should be standard,. I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled romaine salad -- also sizeable enough to be split between 2 persons.
My partner and I split the Poached Halibut entrรฉe which was perfectly cooked and delicious. Our friends split the Dover Sole (pricey at $58) but also more than enough for 2 persons to share, and excellent.
We passed on dessert, although our server hardly made an effort to persuade us. No automatic dessert menus delivered to the table. We probably would have split at least one dessert, but decided that the "do you want to order dessert?" question would be a "no". What did we miss?
All told, with wine, dinner turned out to be about $80 per person including tax/tip. That's right on the borderline in my book between 4 stars and 5. We'll surely return, but next time will be for a special occasion and not just a dinner out with friends.
Not French
Contrary to their advertising, this is not a place for French food; it is however a place for Paris prices. Our meal cost $75 per person, not including tips or wine. The food brought to the table was good, but not great, and might be said to resemble French food, but definitely not to equal it. Encouraged by the waiter, I had the Cajun chicken (not really French). This dish was tasty enough, but was really just a blackened chicken breast, slathered in butter and covered with French fries. Two people at our table had the duck confit. Again, tasty enough, but not particularly special, especially for the price. Other menu items included steak, a pork chop, and the obligatory braised short rib, none of which would qualify as French.
The appetizer menu includes a foie gras and a country pate. In reality, these are two different pates. There is no fois gras, which would be an actual goose or duck liver prepared in a sauce. Maddeningly, the manager took time out to argue with me about this, although I did not seek the discussion. If your manager doesn't know the difference between pate de fois gras and fois gras, and you are claiming to be a French Restaurant, you have problem.
Desert was also a bit disappointing. The creme brulee (also, not really French) came to the table with hot crust, but cold custard. Again, tasty enough, but...
All in all, if you are looking for French food in Dallas, this is not the place to look. Similarly, if you are looking for an upscale meal where the prices and quality match, that is also not this place. Food was good, but not great. Wine list was good, but also not great.
Sensational large group dinner
Twelve of us dined on a busy Friday evening, and the results were superb. Service was spectacular -- lots of attention to the table, even though the rest of the restaurant was very full. Never rushed, but very attentive. At the waiter's recommendation, I thoroughly enjoyed the Filet Mignon, perfectly cooked medium, with tons of extremely authentic French frites. Crispy and delicious!
I started with the grilled Romaine salad, which was delicious as well, and ended with the chocolate mouse split between four of us (more than enough for us all) which was just spectacular.
I'll come back to Le Bilboquet in a heartbeat!
Relaxed fine dinning in Dallas
We met local friends here after a long drive from Dallas ready for an Old Fashioned and the relaxing evening ahead. My wife appreciated the fresh yellow roses on the table. The lighting was subdued and the noise level low. The evening moved at a relaxed pace from mushroom risotto and escargot apps to a variety of fish dishes - fresh halibut, Chilean sea bass and skate, a nice bottle of chardonnay and finally a chocolate mousse. Every dish was excellent. The accompanying vegetables were perfectly prepared. This place is a good choice for intimate gatherings or romantic evenings. After three visits, Bilboquet has become our favorite restaurant when visiting Dallas.

My husband and I flew to Dallas from North Carolina to attend the 20th Anniversary of the company he founded. Our daughter and her husband drove over from Austin to join us as well as our granddaughter and her fiancรฉ from Tyler. For this special time together I made reservations at Le Bilboquet, a highly rated upscale French restaurant in the Travis Walk center.
I had made reservations a month ahead to be sure we all could get in on a Saturday evening.Two of our grandchildren were unable to attend, so I called the restaurant Saturday afternoon to confirm our reservation and to inform them we would be 6 instead of 8.
When we arrived for our 7pm reservation, we were directed to a small table just inside the doorway. I immediately ask if we could be seated at another table not located in the doorway. Looking around the restaurant there were several larger tables that were unoccupied, but the only one offered to our party was a table set for four that could be a very tight fit for 6. No other opinions were available per the manager, even after explaining this was an important event that we had planned and been looking forward to for some time. Needless to say we were all disappointed at the lack of consideration for our party.
We chose to go elsewhere rather than be cramped sitting in the doorway.
We were in walking distance of Toulouse Restaurant on Knox St. so we hoped we could get a table for the six of us. I must say that we made a great decision! We were warmly greeted and seated promptly. The service, food and atmosphere were perfect. A big Thank You to Toulouse Restaurant for saving our Celebration Dinner. It turned out to be a great night.
Le Bilboquet is off my restaurant list. We highly recommend Toulouse on Knox St. Dallas for a great French dinner and friendly and efficient service!
Authentic French Bistro in Dallas (via NYC)
So delicious! Ricardo honed his skills at the original and legendary Le Bilboquet in NYC and transplanted the delicious menu, bursting ambiance and attention to details to Dallas. Visiting from NYC, I was thrilled to see the high energy and attractive crowd and best of all the creamy pate, steak frites, excellent wine list and tasty deserts. We'll be back soon!

Hard to find something wrong with this spot. Very open very, white and bright, yet very warm and comfortable. Service was very personal and more than accommodating. I liked the menu, bit of everything that you could like. Food was fresh tasting, and plenty, and a fair and well balanced wine list. Patio is nice but I imagine on a busy afternoon not very appealing with the traffic. But youโll like it here, simply pleasant

I stopped into Le Bilboquet around 2:30 p.m. on a recent Wednesday afternoon. A business meeting ended earlier than expected, and I had hours to burn before catching my flight home. The restaurant was dead, but that didn't kill the charm. The whole affair is understated, neat as a pin, and stylish in a way that is not at all annoying. I enjoyed a perfect cheeseburger and fantastic skinny fries with an ice-cold gin martini while peering out of the big, sunny windows that front the dining room. Both the food and service were easy and low-key--just what I wanted my guilty pleasure "business lunch" to be. (FYI--There is no bar at which solo diners can eat, but I took a table alone, which I rarely do, and felt just fine about it.)
