La Bonne Bouche Bakery

Consistently good food whether for lunch or dinner. Soups and pastries equaly as good. Service is efficient and polite.Management goes out of their way to make you welcome. Comment:(anyone who does not know the difference between roast duck and beef is not qualified to review restaurants) more

We visited the place on a Friday evening. My husband ordered Ham sandwitch with souce bechamel, i ordered apricot crouson. Everything looked and tasted like it was served out of the microwave, except the crouson. It was put into the over after the microway, so it was burned on the one side.\r Souce bechamel consisted of the butter (i can just hope that it was butter) mixed with mayo. \r But most of all, i was disapointed in pastres. I knew for the past 10 years, that La Bonne Bouche is not realy good in anything but pastres, but i guess i have to give up that thought too.\r Both crouson and the cherry turnover be bought few days later were raw from inside (i mean raw, a big chunk of dough just glued together around some minisculous amount of filling) and crispy on outside.\r La Bonne Bouche, please fire you pastry chef and hire a good one. \r I was your customer for 12 years, and we are not coming back. more

We stopped here for lunch on our way home from the airport and had a wonderful experience.\r \r The Spinach Quiche and the Salad Nicoise were both excellent and the service was fine.\r \r We met the owners there, and had a pleasant conversation with Sara who told us that she has been in business there for 13 years.\r \r We sampled a couple of the lovely pastries for desert and they were scrumptious!!\r \r I will return to this little gem in downtown Lake Worth again! more

I think la Bonne Bouche doesn't know how to do dinner. The wine was warm (Serving temp. for red wine is much lower than US room temperature, as any real French restaurant knows.); the meat was sweet, with huge blisters of untrimmed fat; there were very few choices of main dish.... We had a bad evening. We had two main dishes and two glasses of wine--no vegetables but a tiny diced garnish, no salad, no dessert, and no skill or expertise in French cooking--for $85. A real French restaurant can justify that (though they'd give you vegetables and maybe an amuse bouche); la Bonne Bouche cannot. The waitress did everything she could and was terrific, but other staff seemed less pleasant. There's a GOOD French place in Delray--Pastis--that serves a delicious and real complete French dinner for $13 from 5 to 6pm, $30 after that. The Cafe de France, whose family has been in French food since 1820, serves tasty, genuine French cooking for less than la Bonne Bouche. The best local French restaurant, I think, is in Jupiter: Le Metro Bistro, and is a bit less than la Bonne Bouce--just hop on I-95. I've lived in France, and there really is "French food," but we don't find it in every French restaurant. more

The pastries are made with lots of butter and are melt in your mouth good. Sandwic hes and soups are good. more
