What to Order
Lobster Roll
A fresh and light take on the classic, served on a perfectly toasted bun.
"Best Lobster roll I’ve ever had! Highly recommend"

Truffle Croque Monsieur
A delightful and savory sandwich featuring real shaved truffles, not just truffle oil.
"The truffle Croque Monsieur was delightful. It's rare to have real shaved truffles rather than just overpowering truffle oil. Bring it on!!"
La Klayman
Beef Bourguignon
A rich and flavorful beef stew, a must-try for those seeking a taste of France.
"The beef stew and the lobster roll are amazing."
ATELIER by ET
Dessert French Toast
A sweet and indulgent treat that elevates the traditional French toast to a dessert experience.
"Definitely don't leave without trying the dessert french toast."
Shawn S.
Smoked Duck Appetizer
A flavorful small plate served with excellent sourdough, perfect for sharing.
"For small plates we had the smoked duck and the grilled leeks. So many restaurants in Calgary tend to have the same thing on their menu, so it's a real treat to come here and find things that are different and served as if you were in a little bistro in France."
La Klayman
French 75
A classic and refreshing cocktail, well-executed and highly recommended.
"Wine by the glass was lovely, as was the French 75 cocktail."
