I migliori ristoranti di cucina francese

20/03/2026: Very helpful and friendly owners

05/02/2026: Passing through Udine, we stopped for a quick lunch. The location is unique, the walls reek of history, a step back in time. A kind and smiling young woman greeted us, but she was alone, doing everything she could, but she was running around like a spinning top: one more person would have been preferable, also because, in our opinion, it affects the quality of the service. We opted for the workers' menu: first courses that weren't particularly good, lukewarm, not hot. Then we had two coffees, one of which was a macchiato, and you could taste the milk being reheated several times: undrinkable. We wanted to tell everyone about it when we were about to pay, but the young woman was too busy with all the other things to do, and there were a lot of people waiting to pay: expressing our reservations didn't seem like the right thing to do. Too bad, the place has a lot of potential.

24/05/2026: I dined here with my fiancé for our anniversary, and it was more than just a dinner; it was a truly magical culinary experience. The place is refined and elegant, and the atmosphere is intimate, with soft lighting and soft background music. The service was excellent. The owner was extremely kind and helpful throughout the dinner, explaining the dishes as they were served. The food far exceeded our expectations. We ordered several traditional French dishes, such as cheese fondue, goose fillet, and duck leg. All were excellent: the freshest ingredients, the right quantities, and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend this place for special occasions. Absolutely recommended! 😊

24/03/2026: Top-quality French cuisine. Immersed in the tranquil and refined atmosphere of an antique shop, you can enjoy excellent traditional French dishes paired with fine wines. Highly recommended.

01/02/2026: Unfortunately, the worst restaurant I've been to in a very long time… over 20 euros for shrimp placed on ice, not peeled, and aioli that was aioli in name only, for over 20 euros!!! The same stuff you find at Carrefour 😰 Horrible snails… old parsley, not even chopped, salt, pepper… 🫢 what is this? I told the waitress I eat gluten-free, and she said okay… well, no, no bread, so that should have been mentioned before she let me order 28 euros worth of snails!!! Served without bread and without any side dish… my husband ordered a "soufflé" that looked more like a 3 cm thick block of dough… the ravioli with ragù were the only saving grace of this farce. You shouldn't try to call French cuisine by names when you don't know how to cook. In short, honestly, avoid this place. Besides, we live in Italy, and there are many other restaurants that are cheaper and much better quality!!!

03/12/2025: We've been frequenting Bistrot del Tempo Perduto for many years, and each time we find the same charm: a warm, refined, and attentive atmosphere where you immediately feel welcomed. The cuisine remains one of its strengths, with its traditional Mediterranean dishes, Ligurian cuisine with a delicate French influence, dishes that are always well-executed and never boring. The desserts are also noteworthy, with exceptional whipped cream reminiscent of the pastries of old. Special attention goes to the owner, Vanessa, and her staff: professional, kind, and always available, even when we arrived with our dog, who was welcomed without any problem and with great warmth. All this at an excellent quality-price ratio, which makes the experience even more pleasant and relaxing. A place where time truly seems to slow down, perfect for those seeking quality, atmosphere, and impeccable service. Highly recommended.

31/12/2025: An excellent French raclette. There's no dessert, but the wine is excellent.

29/12/2025: A wonderful alternative evening on vacation in Riva Ligure. Tired of eating fish every night, we tried this charming place and had a wonderful time. We ordered a meter-long platter with every delicacy imaginable, from cold cuts to fruit, accompanied by an excellent red wine and a flambéed Camembert. Truly remarkable in a casual and friendly atmosphere. We'll be back. CIAO THIERRY!

14/04/2026: A well-kept, welcoming, and family-friendly atmosphere, excellent food, and a location with the opportunity to see various animals and spend time in the countryside. Recommended for a moment of relaxation and conviviality.

11/04/2026: What a delicious and authentic menu. Highly recommended!

12/03/2026: delicious food and friendly service

06/03/2026: The service is exceptional! Giovanni is an excellent waiter. The food is very good and the prices are terrific!

03/05/2026: I tried this pastry shop with rather high expectations, also due to its "French" and niche positioning. Traveling and seeing establishments in other cities (including here in Sardinia, like Cagliari, but now throughout Italy), it's increasingly easy to find places with truly refined doughs, expertly crafted, both visually and palatably. Precisely for this reason, I expected something distinctive. I'm talking specifically about the breakfast (tried several times): classic croissants and variations (whole wheat, pistachio/Chantilly/Sassari roll/etc.), which, however, are rather average, without a particular fragrance, texture, or preparation that makes them stand out. Considering the price, the overall experience doesn't live up to expectations. A pleasant place, but the offerings could be much more enhanced in every respect. Currently, they don't meet expectations and aren't competitive except in a place like Sassari, where there are predominantly pastry shops with "old classic recipes."

02/05/2026: Friendly staff, it feels like being in Paris, exceptional pain au chocolat, exceptional apple and cinnamon sfogliatella, you have to go back several times to try everything! Cappuccino with perfectly frothed milk. NB: The workshop is open to the public, they have nothing to hide here, well done.

28/02/2026: Chef Alessandro Zanotto's family history is a manifesto of Monferrato. Today, his 23-year-old grandson has already designed the winery you're visiting, and he cooks with the energy and cultural clarity of his home, having gained significant experience at the Mudec in Milan, one of Italy's international cultural centers. Lower Monferrato. Varengo, a hamlet of Gabiano. Hillside. A rare example of "family style and culture" that knows how to create refined cuisine. Perfect portions. A small wine cellar, but a place for meditation and a delight for the senses. The restaurant is by reservation only—or rather, "reservation"—and offers a highly personalized menu based on guest requests. The menu changes every three months. Refined local ingredients are used, including meat. Whipped maple butter, homemade bread, pretzels, spreadable gorgonzola, and the boiled meats with green sauce in a Chinese ravioli set us on a path to dinner. Innovative appetizers, and the first course, a beetroot and gorgonzola risotto, with rare flavor and balance. The second course's tender and flavorful diaphragm cooked on a silken potato. A genuine, artisanal, unfiltered Grignolino. A Catalan cream with a surprising flavor and color.

02/03/2026: I had lunch at this restaurant two days during my trip to Italy. As a daily menu they offer 2 first courses and 2 second courses, water and bread. Both days I ate very well, a lot of food and very good service. Thank you very much!

19/01/2026: Everything was very good, unique kindness, we will return.

08/06/2026: Had a very bad experience. We came for lunch, tourists. We ordered a few things. I calculated how much we had to pay. When i arrived at the cashier. I was told a much higher price. When i looked at the receipt. The prices were 1-2 euros higher for EACH item we ordered. The prices on the menu they gave us DO NOT match up. The food was dry and too salty. The toast was overbaked. I would never go here again.

02/06/2026: So delicious!! We tried the international-style breakfast, both sweet and savory, and found it truly excellent!! The restaurant has a thoughtful design and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, plus the staff was very friendly and professional. A well-deserved five stars. We'll definitely be back!

07/02/2026: Excellent Piedmontese cuisine, a welcoming place, and friendly staff. We made a bit of a fuss with the kids, but the staff was patient!

03/02/2026: It had been recommended to us and it was true: excellent cuisine, good wine, but above all fantastic background music. I love disco.

06/11/2025: Everything is delicious, they make everything and it's all good. Fantastic cakes and pastries! Recommended.

24/10/2025: Highly recommended! The products are always fresh; the only problem is choosing between sweet and savory! The cakes are also noteworthy; I had two customized ones made for special occasions, and they definitely exceeded my expectations! Well done!

06/04/2026: Young, polite, extremely courteous and professional guys and their product is really good, excellent quality, since we tried them we never give them up.

19/12/2025: The takeaway pizza is good and easy to digest.

22/03/2026: Entering this bistro is like sitting down with your family at Christmas. A refined yet simple atmosphere makes you feel almost at home. The young and dynamic staff are ready to make you feel at ease, without sacrificing their expertise in offering advice. The menu, which changes regularly, doesn't offer a vast selection of dishes (this last sentence shouldn't be taken as a negative). The dishes offered are, in my opinion, deliberately "reduced" compared to a careful selection of unique and refined dishes. Did I eat well? NO: I ate very well! Furthermore, the quality/price ratio is perfectly balanced. Without a doubt, a little gem worth visiting!

14/01/2026: A small but truly exquisitely curated place, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I visited during the Christmas season and found it even more beautiful: thoughtful decorations, soft lighting, and a truly pleasant atmosphere, the kind that makes you feel immediately at ease. The staff is friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. I had the pinsa with mortadella and stracciatella: excellent, just the right amount of crunch, fragrant, and very tasty, with well-balanced, high-quality ingredients. One of those simple yet well-made things that makes you want to return. It's also a perfect place for an aperitivo, especially in the summer, when it's even more pleasant to linger and enjoy the atmosphere. The prices are average and absolutely in line with what's on offer. I would go back in a heartbeat; highly recommended!

07/02/2026: I've dined here several times. The food is delicious, from the fondue de bourguignon with a myriad of sauces and sophisticated pairings, to the special dishes (I had an incredible mushroom and chestnut cream soup), the wine pairings, and a special mention for the desserts: the best crepes Suzette of my life. I hope to return soon.

27/10/2025: My favorite restaurant for a year now. Excellent food and incredibly kind and friendly staff. Dishes are prepared in front of the customer, like the tartare or the crêpes, which are delicious just watching them being made. It's always a pleasure to visit you. See you next time!
