Crema's Take
“Cafe Lafayette serves French bistro cuisine with genuinely impressive execution—think pistachio-crusted salmon and beef stroganoff that justify the splurge—in a warm, unpretentious dining room where the service actually matches the ambition. This is the place to linger over a long meal and feel like you've escaped the Bay Area strip mall sprawl for something with real culinary care, though you should come prepared for fine-dining prices and small, refined portions rather than value for money.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Nice place to eat french food in the valley. Glad to have a departure from the normal choices. Our server Chris was very attentive and hospitable! The atmosphere was simple but warm. The prices were high but expected. The food was underwhelming not only because of the high…
