French Restaurants near Carmel, IN

“Josephine in Carmel — Vive la French Revolution (of Flavor)! 🇫🇷🥩🍷 We double-dated with my sister and brother-in-law last night at Josephine, where Executive Chef Andrew Popp (of Ambrosia Hospitality Group, owned by Dan and Anna Cage) continues to rewrite the book on French cuisine in Indianapolis—one perfect plate at a time. Let’s start with the steak frites. I’ve had them everywhere from Chicago to Paris, and I’ll say it: these are the best. Crispy, salty perfection paired with a steak so tender it practically whispered, merci. I came for the frites (my favorite), but I’ll be back for the boeuf bourguignon, which appeared as last night’s special. We ordered one for the table “just to taste” — and then promptly considered ordering four more. Julia Child would have wept tears of butter-scented joy. Service? Polished but friendly — like a Parisian waiter who’s actually glad you’re there. Drinks? Excellent. Company? Lovely. Evening? Perfect. Chef Popp, if you’re reading this: consider this my official campaign to make that boeuf bourguignon a permanent resident on your menu. Vive Josephine! #JosephineCarmel #AmbrosiaHospitalityGroup #FrenchCuisine #SteakFrites #BoeufBourguignon #IndyEats #FoodieFinds #BonAppétit“

“The food was ok. But onn January 25the they served us a christmas dessert with peppermint and christmas candy..... The server was very friendly but her bluse was not ironed well. We did not finish our second corse meet dish and the desert was already served. For a restaurant in a 5 star hotel. We would expect more attention to details. but overal not a bad experience.“

“Our brunch experience was superb thanks to Allen & crew! Fast service, delicious cocktails & you truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! If you’re in the area Petite Chou is a must try!!“

“Two of my friends and I ate at Auberge last evening and all the food was supreme. One had the monk fish chowder...another had the Taste of the Alps and I had the scallops. We are very used to eating at outstanding restaurants and once again found the food at Auberge high on our list. The wait staff were both excellently trained and made the evening even more enjoyable. We are felllow Village merchants and are very proud to recommend Auberge to all of our clients.“
