I went the with big expectations, as a croissant lover I was disappointed from empty ones, and the French owner should know that in Balkan countries the hospitality is different, he should find more experienced employees and teach them at least to know the answers of people who know more for bakeries ! The tea was great, prices were too expensive for Belgrade! I wanted to buy cheese 🧀 for the empty croissant only 50 grams for try, but they didn’t served me anything out of the menu ! I would not go again!
Really nice small cozy place at a corner-shop with a view on the nearby park.
Solid choice of different gourmet food and drinks.
Quality food, a bit higher prices than average, but corresponding to the quality.
Very good service.
Sitting on the first floor.
During the outdoor season, sitting outside is also available.
Unfortunatelly I was very dissapointed with this place. I first read about it in a magazine, loved the concept and had totally different/higher expectations. Especially since they pointed out it was opened by a French guy, so I expected it to be more authentic and attentive.
I visited as a sit-in guest/went there for breakfast on one Friday. Food was mediocre. We had a quiche, which had nothing to do with classic French quiche (not even the ones i had in France). The dough too chewy, bacon too strong, no classic filling that a proper French quiche is supposed to have. The baguette sandwich was ok, but the croissant was a fail. Not the best quality/taste, and also wasn't freshly baked. Maybe on a day before or so. Service was unmotivated and atmosphere a bit depressive (some sad music playing - not for example some French playlist, or anything more cheerful), the space at the gallery somehow unfinished and empty.
This place itself has great potential - the location is great, the space is beautiful, but it needs a more attentive approach - better food quality (i am not talking about cheese that is there to purchase. But an old crissant and poor quiche is not the way to go at a place that is called At the French Guy), more attention to detail when it comes to interiors, music and also the way they welcome the guest.
I hope they will read my review and consider my constructive critique, improve some details and transform to a place with that authentic French vibe that is missed in Belgrade.
A long review, because I wish everyone success and all the best.
Very tasty cheeses and baked goods. I buy food here all the time. The staff is very nice, always polite and pays attention to the customer. The quality of coffee drinks is slightly above average, not like in a coffee shop.
Not bad to be honest. I'm no croissant expert but they were definitely passable compared to others I've had in the region. These actually taste croissant like (rather than being bread shaped into a croissant shape). Decent cheese selection, but you pay for the premium. Coffee was ok, not particularly mind blowing but it hit the spot. The staff, meh, a bit of a mixed bag. Generally fine, but one definitely seemed like she would rather be back home (wouldn't we all) . If you are in the area or fancy a taste of France / cheese I would check it out.
Bland coffee. Too watery and tasteless (cappuccino with soy milk). Too little chocolate fill in croissant. Disappointing. Nice location and kind waitress.
I expected a lot more. Croissants are of average quality (we tried salmon and fruity), prosciutto sandwich is nothing special. Ground floor is nicely arranged, but upstairs seating seems like it is still not finished (empty space with couple of garden chairs)
