Reviews for la Madeleine in Houston, TX
I often go just to buy their amazing baked goods. I highly recommend the coconut cake and lemon fingers! ??
When you walk in I went to order but didn't realize you had to get your own memu, its aukward as I kept looking up above cashier... looking for menu. Read more
This is the Nutella Crêpe!! Nothing to do with the Nutella of course a cold crème pâtissière with saggy strawberries as seen... in the picture when I spoke to the waiter/cashier they tried to convince me that it is the NuTella crepe with a drizzle ofNutella Very disappointed my son ended up having an other real Nutella crepe at Sweet Paris which was the same price but abigger portion with some real ingredients Read more
It pains me to write this review because I?m a fan of La Madeleine and have enjoyed their food at other locations. A friend... invited my wife and I to lunch and we were near this location and decided to try it out. The restaurant is set-up a littledifferent than the other La Madeleine?s in the Houston area. I ordered the Cafe Sampler ( 1/2 Entree / Cup of Soup / one side )and my wife ordered a Salmon Spinach salad with avocado added ( extra $1.59, not bad ). I had hot tea, she coffee. I orderedthe 1/2 chicken friand with mushroom sauce, French onion soup with no croutons and the side was strawberries & cream (Strawberries Romansff - which they up charged me $1.29 - whatever ). So ? Chicken Friand was luke warm at best and mushroomsauce was cold. They of course had the croutons on the top of the soup, sent it back and they were gone but no cheese on thetop - the cheese was now in the bottom, so guessing someone scraped off the cheese and took out the bread and returned it. Disappointing. I was looking forward to the strawberries, but found a couple of my strawberries were overripe and mushy - bleh. On my hot tea, they didn?t have any black tea ( like an English Breakfast tea ) just green tea and caffeine free tea. Settledfor green tea - sigh. For my wife, it wasn?t much of a salad for the price ( $13.79 ). They forgot to add the bacon and thesalmon was cold and tasted old / fishy. She also ordered a cup of tomato basil soup that she said tasted ?off? / sour. Tableservice was good and staff was overall friendly. Just issues with the food. Again, we?ve both eaten at a variety of LaMadeleines in Houston and had great experiences. Maybe they were just having a bad day, but we?ve scratched this location offour list. Total bill was just under $45 with tip for the 2 of us - which is getting up there for a simple lunch. Buteverything seems to be going up. Overall, food standards just were not what I?m used to / expect from a La Madeleines. Read more
I often forget how good la Madeleine's can be. This particular location is one of the better ones. The restaurant always feels... clean and well kept. Parking is never an issue. Usually always able to get a table without waiting. Friendly service. Thefood is always consistent and delicious!! I've been a long time fan of the French Dip and Chicken and Mushroom Friand. Who canresist the dessert counter here!? Read more
10/10 wonderful staff and amazing food, the ?cake? wasn?t my favorite since I expected it to be 100% chocolate and it had some... fruit flavor on it. However it is a different kind of food that you will love! Super nice location and warm fire place! Read more
Great place for breakfast and lunch. Friendly service, lots of parking, spacious restaurant. They also have a... fireplace. Washroom is clean with 1 stall and 1 stand. While you're in there, you can listen to their in house speakersteaching you how to count 1-10 in French. Read more
I have been dining here since they opened this location. They have the nicest people! And good food!
