Still the slightly stale, cold baguettes were doled out two slices at a time, the bits of meat in the beuf Borguingion were as hard as rubber erasers, the salad meager. Don't go! http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#4063 http://www.wincfood.com/ Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:54:08 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - This is our favorite restaurant in Winchester. My husband and I always come here when we want a delicious meal. I have been here for lunch and dinner, and we even had our rehearsal dinner here last year before our wedding. The owner, Frederic, is extremely accommodating and kind. The inside is clean and charming. The dishes are always very clean and the linens are crisp and freshly pressed. It is by far one of the most unique restaurants I have ever eaten in. The food is outstanding! Our favorite appetizers are the champignons sauvages and the scallops. For dinner we love the ravioli, beef burgundy, pork tenderloin, and filet mignon. Everything we have tried here is delicious. The food is properly portioned and you always leave feeling satisfied. You can spend less money here than at IJ Canns, where customer service is mediocre, the steak is cooked poorly, and you are packed in like sardines at 6:00 pm on a Friday. We would eat here every day if we could! I very highly recommend this restaurant to someone who enjoys fine, authentic French food and a charming and intimate environment. I would give it ten stars if I could. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#3994 http://www.wincfood.com/ Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:56:30 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - Today I had the pleasure of eating lunch at La Nicoise Cafe. Although I am a Winchester resident and the restaurant has been open for 5 years, this was my first time dining there. I guess I'm one of the many who forget there is more to Downtown Winchester than the walking mall. La Nicoise Cafe is just a few minutes stroll from the center of the walking mall and across the street from the Fire House. It was an absolutely fabulous meal, Frederic is quite charming and is an excellent Chef. We were told everything is prepared "in house". The waitress was very friendly and offered excellent service. I found so many items on the menu I would have liked to try that it was hard to pick.. My friend and I decided to order several differnt things to share so we could taste a variety of Chef' Frederic's culinary talents. We were delighted with everything we tried from the Classic French Onion Soup to the Pate Campagne, on to the Croque Monsieur served with a deliciously fresh mixed salad with the house dressing and lastly 2 scrumptuous desserts of Warm Blackberries Napolean and Warm Rum Bread Pudding (we just couldn't decide and had to get both). It was truly a pleasant surprise dining in this little French Cafe. I look forward to tasting more of Chef Frederic's cooking. Take the walk (or drive) to La Nicoise Cafe, I think you will likely return as I plan to do.... http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#3898 http://www.wincfood.com/ Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:35:21 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - My husband and I recently took advantage of the coupon offer and had dinner at this wonderful restaurant. The service was excellent and the owner was delightful and visited our table several times to check on how we were doing and how we were enjoying our meal. The meal was delicious! The presentation was lovely. We will definitely be returning for another visit soon. The coupon made it so much more affordable for us. Definitely worth a five star rating. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#3890 http://www.wincfood.com/ Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:04:15 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 3 - I read all of these reviews and decided to try it again. It had been 3 years since we last had lunch there and obviously it had grown up. WRONG! I am starting to doubt the reviews on this site. The food is decent, yes. If it has been awhile or your first time, you are treated as if what took you so long. No bread until you order, only wine and beer and the chef literally quit during dinner service. No kidding, stormed out and threw his apron behind him. Thank God he came back because his food is pretty good but this place is a 3. Period! And play French music, not ABBA! Too long in business to be like this...mediocre. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#3713 http://www.wincfood.com/ Sat, 22 Jan 2011 7:45:57 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - What everyone else has said is true. The owner is awesome, and the wait staff as well. My husband and i went there last night for the first time and we don't like a pretentious atmosphere, so we were impressed from the start. This place has the perfect atmosphere- casual, warm, inviting, but it still feels romantic and special. The food was great and reasonable priced. We shared two bottles of wine, the mushroom appetizer, steak frites, and the snapper. All delicious. We wanted to stay for dessert but we were trying to get to a movie. We both can't wait to go back, and that's unusual for my husband because he usually isn't impressed with "fancy" restaurants. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#2542 http://www.wincfood.com/ Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:08:52 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - A couple of weeks ago I was lucky to be invited to have lunch at La Nicoise Cafe It was one of the best meals I have ever had. I ordered the Portabella Ravioli with mushroom sauce and it came with a side order of spinach that was out of this world Everything was perfect The staff was warm and friendly Service couldn't have been any better Everybody in our party agreed about the food Yes it was a bit more money that some of the other restaurants in Winchester But it was worth every penny Can't wait to go back again and try something else off the fanatic menu Wish I could give it more that 5 stars http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#2259 http://www.wincfood.com/ Sat, 24 Jul 2010 6:23:51 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - After reading the reviews of La Nicoise Cafe, my husband and I decided to have dinner there last night. We were not disappointed! Our meals were absolutely divine! My husband ordered the Red Snapper Nicoise style and I ordered the Portabello Ravioli with mushroom sauce. The presentation of both dishes was outstanding and only surpassed by the taste of our entrees. The chocolate mousse for dessert...heaven! I've read other reviews commenting that the menu is a bit pricey....it is worth every cent to dine here! Our only little nit was that the dining room lighting could be turned down some to provide more ambiance. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#2244 http://www.wincfood.com/ Thu, 17 Jun 2010 12:51:41 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - My husband and I ate with friends last night at La Nicoise Cafe. the entree of stuffed founder was the best I had ever eaten. A little high priced but the food was delicious. Salads were great. The staff was courteous. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#2156 http://www.wincfood.com/ Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:20:34 EST La Nicoise Cafe - Vote 5 - Tonight, my husband and I joined friends for a wonderful dinner at La Nicoise. I officially retired today, so this dinner was a particularly special one. Upon entering the restaurant, the owner and his son immediately greeted us and made us feel welcome! The scallops in an appetizer were perfectly cooked. The salads were great, but what REALLY captured our attention were the orders of crab-stuffed flounder and snapper. The meals were delicious! I ate the flounder and the cream spinach sauce added just the right touch for the fish! I would highly recommend this restaurant. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=460#2154 http://www.wincfood.com/
