I don't usually write reviews but we had an wonderful experience here at all levels. Ben did a superb job as our bartender and waiter. Great recommendations and knowledge of the food and drinks. Everything we had was exactly as it should be and worth every bit of the bill. We're so very fortunate to live in this small town with such skillful and passionate chefs and restauranteurs. Well done Lallande!

Lallande is one of our favorite restaurants in Madison and a truly special place for us. Amazing food, great service and atmosphere. It’s really difficult to save a space for a dessert though because of delicious appetizers and main course meals. Cheese plates are exceptional! The restaurant’s owner always personally greets the guests which is very nice ☺️

We loved everything about our visit. The whole night felt perfect. Best black trumpet mushrooms I've ever had! Definitely try to sit at the bar, great view of the chefs working their magic. It really helps you grasp how fresh and special the food is.

Amazing experience! Love this restaurant, food is tasty and good portions, service is great, everyone really looking to make this a wonderful experience. They are very cautious about food allergies, and have many GF options, including bread.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options, and the servers are very knowledgeable to provide additional information about what dishes are ok and which ones could be modified.

Had a very enjoyable dinner here recently with my spouse as they go out of their way to make you feel appreciated. Everything is tastefully done, and you can tell they care about the small details. We chose the chef’s counter seats which not only provided a great view of all the action but also yielded some great conversations with their staff. Food was excellent overall, and yes, the leeks were amazing.

Had an amazing dinner at Lallande. The best meal I've had in ages! Fantastic flavors - the bistro steak was cooked perfectly, the gnocchi and charred carrots were delicious. Such an amazing culinary experience! The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating with our toddler. We got to speak French with our waitress Ines too ? I love the tranquille atmosphere and vibe - we had the best time enjoying our food and were treated like royalty. We will absolutely come back! I cannot wait to taste the menu when it rotates in the Spring and Summer!
Madison is a foodie town and this is easily one of the very best. We tried many items on the menu and everything was exceptional. The owners and staff offer a very warm and personal experience too. It all felt special. Lallande is absolute treat!Dietary restrictions: They are very warm and accommodating

Lallande was absolutely fantastic. The service can only be described as delightful! Thank you to Nina who described things on a way that made our mouths water. We were treated so well by everyone, and we weren’t even celebrating anything! We had a fantastic onion tarte which was big enough to take most home. I had a cup of soup with leek and apples which was like nothing I’ve had before. The caramel brownie with coffee ice cream was to die for. It was so fun and I hope we can go back as soon as possible!

THEY HAVE A VEGAN MENU, despite the first glance. Call and ask if you are unsure, but they come through every time! Simple and fresh ingredients wielded by a master flavor maker. This chef understands the power of a vegetable and how to tease out its highlights through texture, temperature, or seasonings. Delicate find in a meat and cheese covered city. Our last visit, we ordered lentil butternut soup, leeks, carrots, and a vegan Coq au vin. Sounds basic, but it wasn't! No weird gastronómica, but a Frechified step up for Wisconsin. Ps. Don't worry meat-eaters, they DO have meat.

Spent a pretty nice evening at Lallande. Parked down the street after meter hours which stop at 6PM. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but the open kitchen concept, fireplace and use of glass/windows make you feel it's bigger than it is. Definitely a comfortable, lively vibe. The service was very attentive, top notch. The menu IS rather limited, but there is usually something available for every taste. Each in our party of 4 ordered a different dish. I had the gnocchi which I must admit was disappointing. I knew that they made their gnocchi with all flour instead of potato (like Italian gnocchi) but the flavor, texture and amount of food in the dish wasn't what I had expected, even with my knowledge of the ingredients being as they were. My date had a fancy chicken pot pie, but was let down by the light amount of chicken in the mostly mushroom dish. We had salads, split desserts and a few wines by the glass. The price for this meal was also much higher (well over $100 per person) than I expected and am used to spending in Wisconsin, and for what I felt the meal was worth. Now I don't mind spending over $200 for a meal that is delicious. I've had awesome food experiences at Harvey House, Fairchild, Nook, Tornado, etc.,. My issue isn't affordability, but is "value for money". Delicious food can command higher prices. Plain and simple. Since I'm a big fan of the Bloom Bakery next door and personally find the owners of Lallande to be extremely nice, hardworking people, I'm giving Lallande 4 stars now with the hope it continues to improve. It has tremendous potential.
