Best restaurant in Madison! Exceptional quality, service and environment. You order the entire meal at the start and the pacing does not disappoint! Highly recommend a bar seat where you can see all the action in the kitchen. A bar seat bonus is that your bartender/server, Nina, is absolutely fantastic!

I came here for a birthday dinner and had such a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic, the service attentive, and the atmosphere warm and cozy. The escargot was delicious, but the fresh baguette it came with stole the show, it was incredible. The espresso martini was good, though not particularly memorable, and the staff kindly surprised me with a slice of cake to celebrate my birthday. Overall, a lovely spot for a special night out.

First time here. Went with my niece. Sat at the bar for a 5:30 reservation. Hostess was prompt and smiling. Nina, our server at the bar was fantastic. Great knowledge of food, attentive service, friendly.
Nina gave us two complimentary gougere; lovely. Had six escargot w/melted compound butter and delicious baguette slices, from their bakery, next door. Had the golden beets/cheese/puff pastry. I'm NOT a beet person, but decided to live large: wasn't disappointed. There were four pieces, perfect sizing. Entrée was the duck for two, with a cherry/apple compote. Would never have known it was duck: was like a perfect medium rare prime rib. Tender and delicious. Got the duck fat potatoes to go with: perfect crust on a bowl of individual slices. Had the blackberry pepper crisp with buttermilk ice cream for dessert: also fantastic. I had two vodka/grapefruit cocktails. Niece had two glasses of wine, and an espresso martini. We were there for about two hours.
I am generally a hard sell for giving an overall high rating, but this establishment did not disappoint in any area. We had a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in, until we left. Highly recommend.
Oh! And they give you a postcard with your bill, that you can write out and they mail it for you. Nice, final touch.

My husband and I ate here for our fifth year wedding anniversary. It was absolutely perfect. We sat at the bar which gave us an amazing view of the kitchen. The service was impeccable. The food and drinks were sublime. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in Madison. We will definitely return!
Lallande was an amazing experience! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff makes you feel very welcomed. The food was outstanding and freshly made. It truly was one of the best meals I have had in Madison.
My wife and I had an amazing time dining at Lallande. We have been big fans of Bloom Bake Shop for years and we're eager to try this restaurant out. Food, atmosphere, and service were incredible. Food was more than fairly priced and exceeded any other fine dining experience we have had in Madison in over the last 3 years. We cannot wait to go back again!

What a delicious delight! Someone asked me what I liked best and I couldn’t really choose a favorite. I do have to say that we love Pate and that Mousse de Foie with the Chicken Pate and Red Onion Jam was my Jam! The Seasonal Flambee was another favorite. The presentation of the food, ambience of the place all just woo you. Thank you, Lallande, for a dining experience that we loved and can go back to, and that our visiting family loved as well!

This place does not miss. The second you walk in the door it feels like you are in an old friend’s kitchen. We have been twice now and our waiter from 5 months ago remembered us and welcomed us back. That’s just the service… Lallande has been the best food we have ever had. The farm to table ingredients shine and there’s just something so comforting about every dish they serve. This is by far the best restaurant in Wisconsin.
Awesome experience! I have a wonderful dinner here!

An outstanding experience. The food is center stage with balanced, flavorful, and creative dishes, in particular the Seasonal Tarte Flambée, charred carrots, roasted eggplant, and Vegetarian Cassoulet. The French Basque cake put us over the top since dinner was so delicious and filling. The staff (especially Nina, but several others - and the owners!) are warm, fun, and attentive and helped make it a superb evening. We sat at the kitchen bar and loved watching the team work together to create such a wonderful fine dining experience.
