RÊVE is not that snooty, splurge-on-your-anniversary kind of French restaurant. Au contraire.
This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024

    Wonderful dinner and experience as always. Attentive service. Quaint atmosphere. One has the feeling one is in a small Paris bistro. The veal special was amazing. The chocolate mousse light but satisfying. Could not recommend this neighborhood gem any more.

    The food was good but not great. I wish there were more flavors present. The lamb shank tasted like beef brisket. My husband ordered the steak and it was too undercooked. It was decent overall but I would not return.

    This evening with friends in this beautiful Lafayette neighborhood French restaurant was delightful. We have been here many times and always find wonderful new dishes that surprise me each visit. As a result we often share dishes just so we don’t miss out. Black truffles over scallops served on a bed of risotto was a favorite tonight.

    The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. Victoria, our server, was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. And even though we dined outside during a chilly and windy January evening, we were more than comfortable due to the enclosed outdoor space and various heaters.
