French Restaurants near Baltimore, MD

“This place is amazing! Tucked away in the Hollins neighborhood, it's such a gem. Upon entering, we were greeted by the beautiful smoky and welcoming energy of Shauna. The ambiance was chic, simple yet decadent. The food was pretty great and the customer service exceptional ! Definitely check them out!“

“First off, the food is amazing. I recommend trying a few of the small plates and tapas and see if you want to just keep ordering those first before you commit to the entrees. The entrees are large portions you can easily share with another person so I'd go that route so you can try several of the smaller plates. Cuchara offers several staple tapas and small plates which are just as good as I've had in Spain. The service is some of the best I've had. The servers were super friendly and attentive and the food came out so fast. We were honestly surprised how quickly it came out. I can't recommend La Cuchara enough.“

“Came here for my birthday. You will see the sign from the street and half to walk through an alley which is filled with outdoor seating for other restaurants. You need to keep walking u til you get to the end in order to get to the restaurant. Food was excellent. The house spread was fresh and served with goat cheese. Appetizers were very: broiled Brussels sprouts with blue cheese, mussels, and the short rib gnocchi. Recommend all 3 of these. Great taste without being over powering. My wife had the short ribs as a main entree which was very tender. It would split easily with just the fork. I had the roasted duck breast cooked medium. The skin was left on and was nice and crispy. Highly recommend this entree. Sides: mac&cheese, spinach, grilled mushrooms, and the bone marrow. The food was very good. Pricy, but you know that coming in. Service was top notch. We also came in early on a Wednesday and were the only customers. We had all their attention. Ambience was great. Felt like we were in a French Caberet.“

“Definitely old-school bougie (white table cloths, sommelier with a 50+ page wine list, cheese cart, and 4-6 course tasting menus), but don't get me wrong, I won't turn my nose up at a fancy fine-dining experience. Especially since you often get to taste flavors and try fare that you wouldn't normally be able to find at just any establishment. And for the most part, Charleston didn't disappoint. The scallop course was cooked to perfection, the breaded oysters were amazing - fried on the outside and creamy on the inside - it is RARE to get oysters that perfectly fried. My favorite dish was probably the duck. I am a fan of duck in all its forms... greasy over rice, fried and slathered in a bbq sauce... but this was on the scale of a dish I had in DC, where the duck was so tender it was like eating a seared, well-rested steak. Honest, perfection.I was a little disappointed in the white truffle fettuccini and their desserts. They had no wow factor like the rest of the meal and the pasta dish didn't even have real truffles. At over $200 per person for 5 courses, I would have expected a few shavings on the miniscule portion. But, 6 out of 8 of our party loved that dish, so maybe I am being too picky :)The restaurant itself is intimate and upscale, but still approachable. Most guests were dressed up, so it is definitely FANCY, but there is no specific dress code, or at least not one that is enforced from what I could tell. Our party of 8 was seated back in what I am going to call the wine room, where we were surrounded by dimly lit shelves of wine - it was old world and romantic and we had a delightful time.Their wine list is overwhelming - I am not kidding when I said it was over 50 pages! I asked for a Brunello and the Sommelier told me to turn to page 57... 57!!!! So, if you don't know what you are looking for or what might pair well with your upcoming courses, I would suggest asking for a recommendation.I also think our party-size was a little overwhelming for the staff. I am not sure they are used to serving that many people at once. There were times that the food didn't come out all at once, which is awkward for the pacing when you are eating a coursed meal, and one dessert came out a full 5 minutes after the rest of the table's. I know this is nit-picky, but it's an expensive meal at one of the premier restaurants in Baltimore, I would have just thought it would have been a little better coordinated. But, like I said, we had a big group. A smaller group may not have the same experience. Despite that though, the waiters and staff were friendly and helpful, explaining the dishes and the wine-pairings that came with them.<3 All-in-all, I would recommend. It was a fun experience, very enjoyable meal, made all the better with a group of friends <3“

“Was my first time to this charming French restaurant. The food and service were wonderful. Started with the mussels and fries with lots of bread to sop the delicious broth and then had the Croque Monsieur. Great wine and cocktail list. Easy to see why this place was packed even on a Monday night.“

“The kindest French lady, I assume manager was so nice to everyone, being good to customers beyond what's expected seems such a rarity these days. The best establishments have the best people. Delicious food also.Parking: Metered parking on the street.“
