This was the first time for three food lovers visiting this restaurant, and it absolutely impressed us. We started with the traditional French onion soup, the cheese platter—where the Brillat-Savarin really stood out—and the Tartare de boeuf au couteau. Each starter was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. For our entrées, we had the Ballotines de poulet with pommes sautées and mushroom sauce, the Cuisse de canard confite with fig and port sauce, and the Jarret d'agneau with basil mashed potatoes. Every dish had its own standout element—the English pea mousseline, the perfectly crisp duck, and the tender lamb shank paired beautifully with the bell pepper compote and purée. A great balance of textures and flavors all around. To finish, we shared the Île flottante with caramel sauce (a nod to the Great British Bake Off) and the Tarte au citron topped with fresh blueberries. Both desserts were light, airy, and a perfect way to end the meal.

The Australian Rib Eye was gristly and fatty. It just reinforces in my mind never to order steak.

We loved the food - definitely on point! This has been a destination French restaurant for many years, but it's been a year or so since we have dined there. It was awesome! The Butcher's menu on Wednesday is a great addition. Well done Et Voila!

When you dine at Et Voila! it is as though you are in Paris dining in a French cafe! The decor is welcoming and warm and the food....what can I say except outstanding. We began with the French baguette and butter, (so good), followed by the escargot (delish). Dipping the bread in the garlic butter was heavenly. Wednesdays are Soiree du Boucher evenings and we shared the t-bone with bone marrow and a side of truffle Mac n cheese. The steak was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. What a lovely find in the North Park area. Can't wait to return.

Always delicious food. I enjoyed the tender duck confit and the dessert soufflé. The profiteroles weren't the best.

Ted

Delightful food, excellent service, a great dining experience! We celebrated our wedding anniversary and were treated extremely well, thank you!

Always a truly exceptional experience. We've been coming here for over 5 years and it never disappoints. Everything is beautifully cooked and the presentation is nothing short of art. They have a wonderful wine selection and the cocktails are great too. I highly recommend the huckleberry bourbon.

I have a tradition of trying something new for my birthday each year. This year we chose Et Voila and we were so happy with our experience. From the cocktails to dessert everything we had was delicious. Their beef bourguignon was one of the best we've had. We enthusiastically recommend Et Voila for your next dinner out.

We live in Bankers Hill so we have a couple of great French restaurants nearby. We decided to try something new and this restaurant is amazing. Fabulous service, great wine and the most amazing food. We'll be back often. Also we love to have our meals hot and they deliver.

A decent experience but my expectations for the price were not met. The service was excellent but many of the dishes fell flat for us.

1 star: French fries / frites (not crispy, kinda mealy, and bland)
2 stars: white wine flight (of the 4 wines, one was delicious, 1 was okay, and 2 tasted like cheap wine), truffle linguini special (cream sauce was super runny and both the sauce and the truffles themselves weren’t that flavorful)
3 stars: soufflé, mussels, bread/baguette (all decent but not memorable)
4 stars: red wine flight (of the 4 wines, 2 were so good and 2 were solid)
5 stars: duck breast and the gratin were so yummy, 12 year calvados

The service here was incredible. Nancy, Missy and their servers were attentive, warm and hospitable. They created a warm & pleasant atmosphere that made this place a must try! We went for a lovely happy hour which came with many different options and delicious food. We left full & happy. Thank you to their team!
