La Guinguette

"If you’re expecting a nice French cafe with traditional French flavors, this isn’t it. The flavors are decent, I’m not sure what they were thinking with the buckwheat crepes, but it doesn’t blend together. I had the eggs Benedict crepe with salmon, for such an elegant dish the crepe completely ruined it. It was like eating a fishy sponge with eggs on it. I ordered the French onion soup which was their “specialty,” not sure why, because it wasn’t much better than what you get at Panera or another fast casual restaurant. It was like the forgot how to use seasoning in any of the food. Although the food was decent, my main problem with this place is the price. There is a crazy up charge for just being in this location. With the surrounding restaurants the up charge is there as well but, they make it worth it with amazing waitstaff and incredible food. My suggestion is just stop in if you want an overpriced cup of soup but go somewhere else if you’d like to have a nice meal and feel good about paying the up charge."

"I had an amazing experience at this cafe. I had tapenade (crostatas and something like crunchy crepes), chicken and mushroom tamales, raspberry jam flavored and lemon sugar flavored crepes with yummy whipped cream! The iced tea was great too! I find this place a great splurge place but can be affordable if you order less. Wonderful restaurant! Will remember this visit fondly for many years to come eating delicious food with my family!"

"First trip to Black Mountain. First time trying La Guinguette. I looked up different restaurants in the area online and I love crepes. The menu sounded great. I tried the blueberry and strawberry crepes with chocolate sauce and they were amazing!! The staff were all very nice and helpful. Loved the atmosphere. Loved the outdoor area. Very cute, cozy, nice, and relaxing place. I definitely can't wait to come back and try more crepes and other menu items as well"

"A delightful cottage style hidden gem with phenomenal food! We had tamales, crepes, and the cheese plate! Everything including the service and atmosphere was wonderful. Best way to spend my birthday. A big thank you for having the raspberry jam crepe on your menu - my mother made that for me as a child and it’s always a memorable treat when I can have it again."

"The atmosphere at La Guinguette is cozy and unique. The service was excellent. However, the empanadas were terrible. They were raw on the bottom and the chicken inside was tough. We expected much better. The staff took care of us and took them off of our bill without any trouble. The crepes were excellent! If you check this place out, I can only recommend the crepes."
