About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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

Reservations available for 8 or less people until May.

    I am familiar with French cooking having lived in France many years and married a French man. This place was a huge disappointment. First the good—gougères with glass of wine were excellent. Floating island dessert also very good. Now for the bad. Onion soup was truly terrible! It was very sweet as if they added quite a bit of sugar and they skimped on the cheese melted over it. In France it is not so sweet. Trust me this was not just from « carmelized » onions. They either added significant sugar or used some weird sweet varietal not used in France—or both. Mushroom risotto tasted OK but was not worth the price. Some rice grains were still hard. The chocolate mousse also terrible. Not mouselike—almost a ganache texture—chewy when pulled straight from an ice cold fridge. The chocolate used was very bitter (like a 85-90%) and they added salt, but the salt was not subtle. It was salty! Overall, this place a big disappointment and I won’t be returning.

    Reve is the ultimate dining experience. The food is delicious and it’s just the place for delicate French cuisine with friends. Meal is prepared meticulously and I love to linger over wine and dessert. It’s not an every day affair but definitely on the menu for special occasions. Thank you

    We had made a reservation for 5:15 pm and it was perfect timing for us as we needed to be back home early. The food was 'blissland' according to my 7 year-old grandson who had the steak frites, and the lemon meringue tart - and enjoyed the baguettes. The grown ups were blissed too.
