“What a cool place! Attention to detail here and authenticity is top notch. Not only do they have brunch service, pastry counter, and coffees, they have a lot of specialty grocery items that are nicely curated and add to the vibe while you’re eating. Our waitresses were very attentive and knowledgeable. Boursin omelette was amazing, and we will definitely be back for more pastries!!!“

“We go to Chamard two or three times a year, either for dinner or lunch. It has always been a good experience. Generally not very crowded, service is prompt but not hurried in any way, food is good. Early evening, with the sun setting over the vineyard is pretty and relaxing.“
