The best brunch I’ve had in a long time and lovely staff too. Just outstanding all round – pancakes, duck, eggs Benedict, baked goods… wish we could have saved room for more. Great coffee ☕️ Highly recommend

Always hit this spot few times a month! This place is a charm. I love the vibe of the venue. The decor is very creative. They don’t use matching chairs, plates, or cups; which I love and it’s little quirkinesses! Such a fun, funky vibe, delicious food, coffee alone is worth the wait. Truly, truly delicious food, classic homey vibes, and an amazing team! C’est La Vie Bistro has it all and then some for an awesome out of culture French Brunch experience!

The best brunch experience in the Greater Boaton Area. Love their food, ambiance (on the deck) is awesome and last but not the least their servers are very friendly. Creme Brulee French toast is a must try and the coffee is good too. My Boston trip is not xompkete without a visit here

Amazing food. Nice cute ambiance. They have parking space for around 15-20 cars. I believe they don’t take reservations, but the wait time is a lot over the weekends. We had to wait for at least 30min before we got a table. Loved their coco banana Nutella shake and egg benedict. The staff is super friendly. The service was slow, this again could be because the cafe was packed. I would definitely love to visit it again.

Fairly small parking lot, it fills up fast, carpool if possible. You may have to park at the library or the church across the street if it’s full. Once you step inside there is a large lighted eiffel tower in a small area where people take photos, then a few small steps to a room where you can watch them cook. There is a bathroom located to your left just past the first small set of steps. As you head through there’s nice french themed decorations. You then pass an area where you can grab coffee or tea while you wait for a table. Continuing past that is another small set of stairs. Then you get to an antique looking desk and put your name in with the hostess. The wait was about 25 minutes for us. There is another bathroom located down a small hallway and up a few stairs to the right of the waiting area. Once seated we were greeted by Paul. He was an excellent server, friendly, attentive but gave us our space to chat without interruption, yet was always right there when we needed him. I ordered crepes with bananas, strawberries, cinnamon butter toppings, and an earl grey hot tea. My mom ordered the quiche of the day (vegetable) and Saratoga sparkling water. Our food arrived fast and was absolutely delicious. When they bring you hot tea it’s delivered to you in a French press, (if you’ve never used one before, which I hadn’t until today) you let it steep for 1 minute, then push down the top and pour. They also give you a jar of raw sugar, and a small decanter of milk. The decor in the dining area was beautiful and unique. I appreciated the paintings that were seemed to be intentionally crooked on the walls. Overall we had a wonderful experience and definitely will return. It cost us less than $50 to dine here for phenomenal food, great service and lovely ambiance. Come here, you won’t regret it!

This place has the most quaint, warm European style atmosphere! It’s a lot bigger than I thought with several floors. I dined in and eating here made me feel like I was in Europe. It has a sort of rustic interior with a French aesthetic. Service was quick and prices are reasonable.

I literally died and went to heaven. This place is beyond amazing. There was a little bit of a wait but I would wait 10 times as long if I had to just to get a seat at one of these tables. I stumbled Upon This Place by pure accident because two of the other brunch places I went to had over an hour wait. I found this place on Google Maps and I called to see if they had a wait. While they did have a way it was not even a fraction of the weight that other places had. I’m so glad that it did not work out with any of those other places because my God this place is mind blowing. The food is incredible the service is incredible and the atmosphere is so quaint. I will 1000% come back

we went on a Saturday at noon, no trouble with parking, and we were seated pretty fast. our waiter was great, super friendly. our food came out surprisingly fast as well, contrary to some other reviews. the steak and eggs was fantastic but the menu has so many delicious sounding dishes!! love the aesthetic of the house they built into, it’s charming and looks beautiful in the summer. 5/5 will be coming back with more people

This place is a charm. I love the vibe of the venue. The decor is very creative. They don’t use matching chairs, plates, or cups. Yet all play a symphony of beauty. The food and coffee is great. Every item in the menus comes with a little twist. Loved the Brie with toasted bread and fresh fruits and jam. Friendly service is the icing on the cake.

Always a charming place filled with lots of cozy and loving items (cutlery & bowls & dishes + interior items). Their food is great and I love every bit of C’est La Vie. Their weekend was VERY hectic so we visited during the week and we did not have to wait at all. Their french onion soup was very tasty and nice for cold weather and the quiche was amazing.
