“ We came in on Black Friday night and started with that days special vegetable soup and the classic escargots. The soup is top notch, welltextured creamy base with a subtle lift of a special mixed vegetable taste. The flavor the escargots is at the lighter end of the spectrum. Be sure to leave some of the juices in the shell so that you can add them on while you are chewing their bigger than average escargots. Steak frites medium rare and ris de veau roti roasted veal sweetbread are followed to wrap up the night. The thinner cut of the ribeye brings a more delicate tasting experience, the peppercorn sauce compensates well with the meat and most importantly not too heavy. The offal flavor of the sweetbread is perfectly muted by the sauce, leaveing us only the joy of the tender and creamy mouthfeel. However, the best part of both entrees is no doubt the sauteed vegetable. Cooked to a perfect temperature, from just a daytoday potato to morel mushroom, all the juice and freshness of each vegetable are held and packed with wellbalanced flavor at the same time. In hindsight, we definitely recommend try out their sauteed vegetable dish if they have one on their menu of the day you visit. The dessert menu is relatively short but full of highlights, the floating island we ordered is definitely worth a try. The light mouthfeel from the briefly cooked floating egg whites compensates very well with the sweetness from sugar and vanilla. Service is amazing, fits perfectly with their comfort bistro vibe. Last but not least, please, drink some wine when you are in a french restaurant. REVE Bistro gets rewarded as Michelin Bib Gourmand 2021. Just like what this award suppose to be, this is truly one of the top if not the best reasonablypriced french restaurants in San Francisco Bay Area. ”

“ We originally discovered this restaurant on Check Please Bay area. We had the pleasure of sampling the delicious food at the KQED Taste and Sip. We made a reservation for 4 at the restaurant. And we were very happy we did. From are starter to dessert every thing was delicious. Well worth a visit to Lafayette. ”

“ Relaxed atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, authentic French cuisine ”

“ Delicious, Beef Bourguignon, Coq au vin and scallops. Also the oysters and artichoke spread were great starters. Only complaint was the French onion soup was a little sweet and the mashed potatoes over whipped and a little gluey. The chestnut spaetzle was amazing and desert, creme brulee excellent. I would skip the truffles next time. For 20 extra I could barley taste them. Fabulous service. Best server Ive had in ages. Also the restaurant is acoustically designed so you can have a conversation without shouting! ”

“ Its not a fancy French restaurant, but definitely a gourmet French restaurant. Food is amazing. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is cozy and warm. Love it. No doubt it is Michelin mentioned. Only drawback is parking. Most of the parking spaces are compact and they are so tight. According to our waitress, they share parking spaces with the school next door. Maybe next time we will park there. ”

“ Just took my wife to Reve in Lafayette for her birthday, and wow, what a night! This charming French restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We were blown away by the food and cant wait to go back. It was our first time diving into French cuisine. The meal started with an amusebouche, a chilled tomato, watermelon, and strawberry gazpacho. Talk about a refreshing start! Next up, Gougeres. These bitesized French cheese puffs were light, airy, and packed with cheesy goodness. Then came the escargot. The herb garlic butter made them quite tasty, but Julie was done after one bite. Turns out she had pet snails as a kid! For the main course, Julie had Noix St Jacques, seared day boat scallops over Brentwood corn and summer mushroom risotto. While the scallops could have used a bit more searing, the flavors were spot on. I went for the Moules Frites. Steamed PEI mussels in a white wine, shallots, garlic, and cream broth served with fries. The flavors were incredible, and the fries had the perfect crunch. Best fries I have had in a long time. And of course, we ended the night with Julies favorite dessert Creme Brulee. One word AMAZING! ”

“ This restaurants ambiance gave the feeling of a back alley Parisian restaurant and even more so with the rain. It felt like a movie. The service was phenomenal, all of the waiters, waitresses, and the hostess were all very passionate about the food and the flavors that the chef created and gave excellent recommendations! My party got a multitude of items. Escargots The escargots were delicious, definitely a must try if youre on the fence about it. The green sauce that its cooked in was akin to a pesto and it and the escargot itself were delicious with the additional bread. Gougeres The gougeres were puffy, cheesy, and delicious! Absolute must order for an appetizer! I was so disappointing when my party had eaten them all. Soup du jour The butternut squash soup with apple crisps was delectable and savory. The apple crisps were like a hidden burst of flavor inside the soup, I really wish there were more than the 5 I had. I also came in with a bit of a cough, so the soup helped to soothe my sore throat. Poulet Facon Coq au vin This was fall off the bone delicious! I didnt even need to use a knife, the chicken meat just separated from the bone and the au jus, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots were an absolutely sumptuous treat! Noix De St Jacques The scallops were delicious and cooked to perfection and the acorn squash risotto was so savory. It was a delight to eat! Ris De Veau Roti The veal sweetbreads with fingerling potatoes. This dish had a texture akin to bone marrow or liver to me. Since I love both of those items, I loved this dish. Creme brulee Creme brulee as a dessert option never fails, and this one was no exception. It was yummy! Pear tart This was the best dessert we ordered! It was flaky, not overly sweet, and overall an absolute treat to eat. Cant wait till we come back to try the rest of this seasons menu or try the menu for the other seasons the menu rotates based on the season. ”
