I was meeting a friend for lunch in Albany and not being from there I turned to trusty Yelp for a suggestion of where to go. I was not disappointed! I was intrigued by the breakfast boards in others photos and so chose Camille's. It's in the historic part of Albany in a cute little space with warm buttery walls. Since my companion wanted lunch and I wanted breakfast we didn't get the breakfast board but I will be back for it. Instead I ordered the Croque Madam with home fries. It was absolutely delicious! My friend's sandwich was equally tasty. We got to chatting with the gal next to us who is a regular and praised everything on the menu. The coffee comes from Margin Coffee just a block away and is excellent. Our server was gracious and attentive. I'm totally in love with this place. My only regret is that it isn't closer to home.

We've been here three times trying to see if they worked out the kinks. Unfortunately, the service is a bit sparse and on our visit the food was cold. We took the servers recommendation for the croque madame and the sauce was grainy. I know so many people love it, so I feel like they do have it--we just haven't experienced it yet.

We returned to Camille's for brunch yesterday and weren't disappointed! We got the small brunch board and a side of Au gratin potatoes. The board was plenty to feed my partner and I, we even had a few leftovers to take home. It was beautiful, and so delicious!

Donna Mullen
The service was great. Exceptionally clean. The food was amazing. I had the crab crêpe. That was the best I’ve had. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

A wonderful place with wonderful people and amazing food.
Prepare to be transported to culinary heaven at this exquisite restaurant! From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with a warmth that rivals even the sunniest of days. The service? Exceptional doesn't even begin to cover it. It's like being wrapped in a cozy blanket of hospitality, with every member of the team going above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfection.And let's talk about the ambiance. Picture this: a quaint bistro, sparkling clean and brimming with charm. It's the kind of place that feels like it's been plucked straight from a storybook, with each detail carefully curated to create an atmosphere that's both enchanting and inviting.But it's not just the atmosphere that will leave you spellbound; it's the food. Oh, the food! I ordered the quiche, the very best I've ever had in my life! My friend ordered these luscious berry crepes that she said melted in her mouth. Each dish was a work of art, meticulously crafted to tantalize your taste buds and ignite your senses. And the mastermind behind it all? The one and only Camille, whose passion for food is matched only by her infectious enthusiasm and genuine warmth. I cannot wait to go back!So, do yourself a favor and run, don't walk, to snag a seat at this culinary gem. Because trust me when I say, this is one dining experience you won't soon forget.
This is my second visit to Camille’s Bistro. Both visits equally delightful. I’ve had the Croque Madame and the House version of the Avocado Tartine. Such beautiful presentation on both plates. The au gratin potatoes were to-die-for.Local loose-leaf tea served French press style with every sweetener option, and cute creamer elevates the authentic experience. Linens and fresh flower, attentive service provided by Owner Camille and server Devyn, along with pleasant music made for a calm and relaxing breakfast. So happy for this new dining option in Albany.

On first glance (street view) it looks like a quiet little nook. It's not so quiet but it is a nook. A lovely little nook. Neat. Clean. Up to date furnishings and plenty of seating space. Bathrooms are just to the back of the business on either side and are gender neutral. We were seated quickly by a lovely young lady who was hostessing. About 1/2 of the tables were empty. Not for long though. Our wait person was Erin, who was fantastic. Today, we (the hubs & I) we taking time to get a bite to eat before going out to the cemetery for my daddy's funeral. Erin was just exactly what we needed to make ordering super easy and fast. Not that he was rushing us, he just was able to answer our questions quickly and thoroughly so we could make informed decisions. I had camomile tea with honey and cream to start. Love camomile and the honey was exceptionally yummy today. When it was time for more tea water, Erin was right there offering it before I ever had to ask. We ordered Croque Madame (me) & Basique Breakfast (hubs). We also ordered berry crepes as an app. The crepe came and unfortunately it was not what we had expected nor what it should have been. After one bite, we knew it was not quite right so, within moments staff came to bring the rest of our order and after asking the young lady to take it please and no thank you for a take away box along with an answer to her question of what was wrong, she very politely apologized and removed the plate. Upon which we began to taste our entrees. Delicious! Never have I ever. I'm a tough customer but the Croque Madame was amazing. Every bite better than the last and I would be inclined to order it again except now I want to try the whole menu! The Basique breakfast was far from basic. With the star of the show being the sausage made by our local Sausage House and the jam which was to die for. Erin checked on us after we had a few minutes to enjoy our food and made sure to apologize again for the problematic crepes and informed us he had taken them off our bill. Once finished, we of course took home left overs and look forward to them this evening. Erin was warm. Welcoming. Kind and thoughtful as well as Johnny on the spot (attentive). We will return again. I absolutely suggest you give this local bistro a try.

Charming Bistro with extensive menu, beautiful presentation and attentive service. I've dined in twice and both visits were delightful. The French theme is well executed. Fresh flowers, linen tablecloths and napkins enhance the atmosphere, while the tables and music provide a relaxed ambiance. Will be back, for sure.

Ate here for a second time today 2/19/24, and once again it was fabulous! Food, service, and atmosphere was spot on.

A relatively small venue… Far too many tables for the space, thus very noisy when the restaurant is full. Service is what could be described as not, very attentive. Food was delivered promptly and was of high-quality and well prepared. Not the sort of place to linger or visit with friends for more than an hour.
