La Bourgogne French Restaurant 77-6400 Nalani Street, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"This charming little family restaurant on the edge of town served me the best meal I've eaten in years. Chef Cindy's corn chowder, sweetbreads, and pot de creme were all incredible, and the personal service made for a memorable evening. Wish I were here longer to try out the whole menu!"

"My husband and I love coming here. They have done such an amazing job of providing an exquisite atmosphere, creating a unique experience, and preserving the culture of La Bourgane. Shoutout to Cindy and Chris, you guys are awesome! Mahalo- Riley & Krystel"

"I ate here 28 years ago, when I first moved to the Big Island, and hadn’t returned till a week ago. It was my birthday celebration and my kids picked this restaurant. I’m so glad they did. It was great to try a restaurant we don’t frequent. The inside is small, quaint and cozy. Very nicely decorated. I believe only 7-8 seating areas. The menu is a set price which includes your choice of entree, main course and a dessert. We did not pair the wine as we aren’t wine drinkers. I had the escargot for my appetizer. It came on a dish which had indentations for each escargot which were in a butter sauce. Crouton (very dry and crunchy) bread was on top. The escargot were soft and delicious. I dipped my bread in the sauce to soften the texture. Due to a dietary restriction, I only ate one of the croutons and shared the rest. My main course was the filet minoin. It was cooked med/rare with the Cabernet sauce. I asked to substitute rice for the potatoes and there was a side of green beans. Everything was cooked to perfection! My dessert choice was the crème brûlée, very good. My family ordered other dishes so we could all take a bite from each other. Two of my favorites were the onion soup and the lavender rabbit. I highly recommend for a special event dining experience."

"We really enjoyed this dinner. French dining that was flavorful & hearty. Not aggressive or stuffy. Menu was fixed price for 3 courses. French onion soup and wedge salad were exquisite. The filet with Cabernet reduction was perfectly cooked. Wine list has great options at tremendous values and the cocktails are delicious."

"Almost impossible to believe, but this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Maybe it's because I didn't expect such an incredible French restaurant to be on an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean, but after meeting the owner/chef and having her not only take our order, but then have her son as our waiter, you can tell she has poured her heart and soul into the restaurant. This is no better represented than the incredible food that was served, along with the ambiance, artwork, and the very intimate dining experience. As soon as you know you'll be on the big island, give them a call and get a reservation. You won't be disappointed."
