Best Cafés in Palo Alto

I understand why people are rating the experience low, since the price is definitely a little outrageous for the experience. However, our servers (shoutout especially to Tom) were wonderful, and the environment was super nice and cozy! The food was good, not anything extraordinary, but still good nonetheless. We had a great experience and would potentially return next year if the prices are adjusted accordingly. We believe the experience with just the fixed menu (not the private chateau) would be much more reasonable and worth it if it were priced at $65-70 pp!

We loved the ambiance at this place. Even though we arrived about 20 minutes early, we were seated promptly. The restaurant offers charming spaces: a formal dining area with crisp white tablecloths and a serene outdoor space with lush greenery and a covered roof. It’s a beautifully relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely meal. If you're in a hurry, this may not be the spot for you. We visited for Sunday brunch, and while it took a little longer than expected for our food to arrive, the service was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Breakfast Sandwich, Baby Kale and Quinoa Salad, Shakshouka, and the Home Fries as an appetizer—each dish was delicious. The bread with the Shakshouka was absolutely incredible. While prices are on the higher side (approximately $35 per person, excluding alcohol and tip), the quality of the food and the laid-back setting make it worth the experience. Plus, it’s conveniently located near lovely walking parks, adding to its appeal.

Foods were very good, only my husband was disappointed for not having the fresh oyster which we usually have when we eat on Sunday brunch at cafe florian.

Good food and nice staff for our company Christmas dinner.
