I hardly ever contribute to Yelp ...which isn't cool since I use it all the time. The reason I am writing a review is because I didn't see anyone mention the steak frites. The steak and au poivre sauce were really good, but the frites were absolutely incredible. I can't stop thinking about them. They are reason enough for us to go back again as soon as possible. It's a nice modest little place that doesn't have a ton of appetizer options or beverage choices but those fries were that good. I would have them with EVERYTHING...

Finally checked out @Le Jardin Cafe for brunch on Sunday, and all I can say is I am disappointed I waited so long to try it! Everything was fantastic from start to finish.The restaurant is a bit small so we made reservations for noon and were seated immediately. Service was warm and personable. Our lovely waitress made great recommendations and spaced our courses perfectly so we didn't feel rushed. And the hostess was super sweet and took some great pictures for us on the way out. The decor was inviting and everything was decorated beautifully for fall. We sat inside, but they also had a nice patio which was pretty full with people enjoying the nice weather.For food we decided to order a little bit of everything and share. We started out with an order of fries with truffle mayo, and the truffled devil eggs. The deviled egg yolk were smooth and creamy with just enough truffle not to over power the dish. The fries were shoestring hand-cut, and perfectly crispy. I would have happily eaten 2 orders by myself ? Next we went with the French onion soup and the stuffed pumpkin. French onion was one of the best I've had, the broth was dark and rich with plenty of carmalized onions and the comte cheese gave the most perfect cheese pull ? Stuffed pumpkin was the highlight of the meal for me! Cutest presentation of the whole roasted mini pumpkin. It was stuffed with roasted mushrooms, bacon lardons, and torn pieces of bread that soaked up the delicious comte bechamel poured over the top 10/10. We ended the meal with the soufled chocolate pancakes(which I forgot to take a picture of). This was the most disappointing part of the meal for me, though still delicious. I was expecting a super fluffy, biscuit-sized pancake. It turned out to actually be a chocolate crepe with a chocolate filling. The chocolate was nice and rich and the sweet creme angliase was a perfect balance. We also had a large pot of their french pressed coffee- this was addictively delicious, dark with lovely fruity and smokey notes.I will definitely stop by just for coffee and to try out the chocolate croissant in the future. We are already planning to come back for dinner as well. They have weekly specials like a Sunday night roast, and $35 pre-fixe dinners on Monday. Overall we had a great meal and great service.

Had Brunch here. Tried eggs benedict and the creme Brulee french toast. Probably the best Benny's and toast I have ever had. The portion size is perfect too you dont feel overfed. The look of the room is cute, 100% recommend!!

With a day off I went to Café le Jardin. Loved my meal and service. I ordered The Eggs Benedict. Best Benedict I've had around.It was so tasty and light. The music set the vibe. I was reminiscing my trip to Paris. Highly recommend giving it a try.

Had an amazing belated birthday brunch. My girlfriend and I shared our meals. We started off with the French toast crème brûlée which was thick pieces of bread with the crème brûlée in the center sprinkled with pieces of the crispy crunchy sugary topping. It was fabulous. Then we had the tarta flambé. Puff pasty with crème fraîche, bacon, onion and herbs. It was lite and flavorful. It seemed like they were short staffed as it took a bit for us to get seated despite having a reservation. Our waitress was friendly but not overly invested in our table. The chairs are uncomfortable and the ambiance could use something.

Good French onion soup and excellent service. The steak frites & tart flambe just decent. The duck cassoulet was very disappointing."Cassoulet" by definition is meat cooked with beans together in casserole or an eathernware "cassole". This simple comfort food (if done correctly) is one of the emblematic French gifts to gastronomy. I was surprised to find the beans frigid and the single duck confit leg & sausage luke warm at best. The dish lacked seasoning and tasted bland. If salt and pepper shakers are not on the table then the food should be properly seasoned as a rule. For $38 it should also be plentiful. Audubon NJ is not Paris after all...Perhaps I'm most disappointed in the fact that June BYOB (sister restaurant) is so exceptional in every way. Manned by the best young chef/owner in the area with great attention to detail in food, service and decor. June BYOB is much more expensive but also a tremendous value. Unfortunately Cafe le Jardin does not give the same value perception for the prices charged.The dining room is cold figuratively and literally.
