It would be easy for a visitor to miss La Maison
du Café, as
it's tucked away well off Winchester Boulevard. You might even struggle
to find the place if you were actually looking for it ! However there's
perhaps a good reason for that, as this French restaurant must be one
of the
best kept secrets in Silicon Valley. It
has been around for a number of
years now and has a loyal local following. From the moment that you
enter, you know you are in for a special evening. The complementary
apéritif is most welcome as you scan though the extensive menu.
There's no doubt something there to suit everyone's taste, from mouth-watering
appetisers, delicious entrees and carefully prepared and very tempting
deserts. Desert is always something I try to avoid, but never at La
Maison du Café. No matter how many times I tell myself that
I really shouldn't, it's just something that I can't resist when it's
put in front of me. The wine list is extensive, although many people
choose to bring their own wine and pay the nominal corkage fee. The
interior is cosy with wood lattices and frosted windows at the
front, complemented with wonderful impressionist paintings and warmed
with soft lights and candles. It's
just the right size for a quiet evening for two or perhaps an important
business meeting, but maybe not for a noisy
office party ! The service is excellent or they would not be on this
site, with extremely knowledgable and helpful staff. Their restrooms
are located behind the kitchen, so you even have the opportunity to
see your meal being prepared, which is something that appeals to me.
I am suspect of restaurants that lock away their kitchens to the outside
world. Booking is essential to avoid disappointment, as things can
get a little crowded at times. There is plenty of room to park outside
and directly in front of the restaurant too. I have never been here
for lunch, but it's something that I have to do soon ! Make sure this
restaurant is on your dining schedule whenever in Silicon Valley and
tell them Oslo Pubs sent you. Bon appetit...... |
