Reviews for Le Rendez-vous Café in Las Cruces, NM
this is the best breakfast place in town! just look at what a good assortment of pastries and cakes they have. great staff. ... everyone is kind and generous. I got myself an eclair, and believe me, it is the most delicious eclair I have ever had in thewestern part of America. By the way, when I went into this cafe and saw a showcase with pastries and cakes, I said to myselfeither the owner of this place went to study in Europe or he is a European, and it turned out that the owner of the institutionis French, and I thank him very much for the excellent choice of cakes !! Thank's man! Thanks thanks thanks! Read more
Loved it!! 10 stars out of 5. ???? Traveling in NM to remember my Dad. Le Rendez-vous was one of his favorites. I know why. I... must admit, the location and actual restaurant are a little puzzling to me. It sits in the end of a washed up strip mall and ison the small side. The inside is not new or fancy and by my families description of how great it is, I was a littlesurprised. But-no matter. The French trained chef makes up for this with an incredible selection of pastries and the food makesyour mouth water. I was told, "Get there early, if you don't they run out of things. And...just order the special ". Well, thespecial that day was mussels so mmmm yeah, that's a no from me. Not really a mussels fan even when I'm being adventurous. Iwill go outside the box when someone suggests I should but not for mussels, that's an acquired taste as they say. I had the Ham& Brie and can I just say, magnificent! I've ordered this from many places and have yet to have it made with actual slices ofbrie. What usually happens is someone had a melted down version of brie. It was served with a homemade honey mustard ...oh geez,so good. We bought 5 pastries and wow!! There is some serious magic happening with the pastries from there. If you are evernear Le Rendez-vous you should not drive by. Read more
Really a 4.5, love this place, great owners and personal service. Our goto place for breakfast and pastries. I love their... Americano with an extra shot, great flavor. I have only had 2 items from their menu in the 20 or so times we have been therebecause they are both so good. Eggs Benedict and Le Croque Monsieur, both are ridiculously delicious. Cinnamon rolls areexcellent, my wife drives from our house on the east Mesa to get them almost daily. French Onion soup is also very good. Highlyrecommend. Read more
Great service. Great food. Amazing looking and tasting pastries. I'm so glad this place made it through the pandemic. If you're... a tourist then this is definitely a place you need to visit while in town. I recommend trying their beignet which has some kindof a cream filling. Yum! If you like hazelnut then you will love the Paris brest. Read more
Nice assortment of pastries. It was very busy and had a wait for lunch, but the line seemed to move quickly. They had a pianist... playing too. Read more
lovely atmosphere, it?s loud, but in a calm way. i ordered a french dip on a croissant, with ratatouille. the french dip was not... very good, the only good part of it was the croissant. the flavours of worcestershire and red wine weren?t mixed well at all inthe au jus, and the meat wasn?t cooked very well. but the ratatouille was to die for, and the portions were amazing for theprice i paid. definitely would come again to try another menu item. 9/10 Read more
Absolutely the best French pastries in New Mexico. Trust me, I am a baker myself and I know how Napoleon should taste. I bought... 10 different pastries just to find something wrong and ALL were just perfect. Eclair nut cream was just right, no overwhelmingsugar sweetness but a perfect combination of roasted almond flavor and vanilla. The cheesecake is from real cheese not from"plastic" creamchees. Even berry tarts, which could be dry and usually are not crowd pleaser were perfect, moist inside andcrunchy outside. I had breakfast as well and my eggs Benedict were perfect. I would travel back to Las Cruces just for thetaste of French baked goodies. Read more
The croissant on my Picacho was the best I've ever had! The host and waitress were very friendly, fun, and full of smiles!
