When I see “French cuisine “ I expect French but here the food is more like a fusion, please don’t get me wrong the food was tasty but not at all original, very pricey for not being authentic French cuisine. The place was very nice once you are taken to a table, the area for dining is cozy! So a plus for ambience. I give a 4 star for service because they were rushing us out. In France no one rushes you out…so I missed that “no rush feeling ” you get dining in France.
I had a great dining experience at Hopfields located in central Austin. Their lobster 🦞 chowder was very tasty and so too was the mussels with pommel frites. Service was great and I loved the ambiance.
I've been looking for another French restaurant since Chez Nous closed. I think Hopfields might be the replacement. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. It looks like a great spot to bring a group of friends to enjoy a meal and each others company.
Forewarned, it is a little expensive. A full dining experience for two people with 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 dessert, and 4 drinks will cost two people $200+.
The steak tartar was flavorful, I can say their French onion soup is my second favorite. I see they have a Full English Breakfast. I am looking forward to trying it. We will be back!
What a great little gem of a place with delicious food and craft cocktails. We had a wonderful meal and the bartender Brice made us feel welcomed! We had mussels in a delicious wine sauce with garlic pomme frites, French onion soup perfect for a cloudy weather and an array of desserts. The Brown Rabbit espresso martini was perfection…not too sweet, smooth and delicious. Thumbs up!
Visited the place on Sunday for brunch. It was not busy. We ordered Benedict and Burger, both are good but the portion of Benedict was too small for me. Plus there was a hair in the fries but we didn’t say anything. Cider was good.

Started with a kir royale (cassis with Andre Delorne sparkling wine). It was well proportioned and excellent. It’s a simple thing, but so many places don’t get the proportions, right.
Bartender was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Enjoyed the steak frites it was a nice filet medium rare.
Loved the stock of different types of gin at the bar — I had two Austin sours, nice cherry flavor from the Luxardo gin.
I enjoyed a small glass Firestone Walker Parabola (2022).
Had the crème brûlée which was very nice indeed.
I love the atmosphere, and enjoyed Junior Brown and other “real” stuff in rotation on the music.
The flatware and plates were even nice too.
Overall a great space, great menu and excellent bartending.
One of the top to go French restaurants of choice in town. Especially if you want a less crowded places for a more romantic setting. The place has great mood lighting for dates or family style meals or just grabbing a quick fare with friends or coworkers in their 3 partitions.
The Entree menu changes seasonally and the quality and portion of food for the price are very well justified. I have never left feeling hungry but always have felt satisfied.
The wine listings are wide and really good and the server recommendation pair really well with the food.
I enjoyed my Saturday brunch while sitting near the bar at a booth with my daughter. The draft IPA I tried was great, as was my meal which was an eggs benedict but with beef cheeks (excellent). Plus it had a nice salad with it that paired well. My daughter had the crepes, and while she wanted more Nutella, I thought it was an appropriate amount. The staff were cordial and inviting. I will come here more often.
It is a very cute spot to get a delicious craft beer and get a chance to try french food. We had a lovely time! Its the perfect place for a date
I stumbled on this place having diner at the place next door. The atmosphere is nice, the bar staff we super friendly, and they had a really great selection of brews on tap. I didn’t get a chance to try anything on their food menu, but what I saw being served look delicious. I’ll be back for food and brews the next time I’m town.
A great spot with two vibes once inside The front is a bit more busy with more noise while the back is more quiet and calm. Neither was off putting and both are great places to enjoy this fantastic restaurant. The food and drinks were very well executed and so delicious. There is a large selection of beers on tap along with excellent wine and cocktails to choose from. The escargot dumplings were incredible and the beef bourguignon was melt in your mouth tender and delicious. Uber is probably better than driving as parking is a bit of a challenge, but the trip is absolutely worth it.
This is such a charming place! The atmosphere is definitely unmatched. The food is okay, not nothing overly amazing. However the presentation is great. Our server was so polite and accommodating even though we were literally there for 3 hours. I’d love to come back here. It’s a great place for a date.
This is one of Austin's most underrated dinner spots. I've eaten here three times each time has been better than the last and every time has been better than some of the best restaurants in Austin and whole state. Upscale food, decent portions for amazing food, and decidedly not pretentious, this unassuming spot has an amazing burger and the best steak frites I've had in town. Good drinks and friendly but not ostentatious service make this my favorite spot
Amazing selection of craft beers and wine. They always do a great job of keeping the beer menu up to date. The ambiance is charming and patrons are diverse across any number of characteristics. Food is really excellent here as well. Tried the vegan muscles and fries which was surprisingly spicy and a bit oily if I'm being honest. But they tasted great together and we uses the left over sauce and oil to make a killer vegetable stir fry at home. Will always be one of our favorites but it is expensive.
The decor of the restaurant is sublime and subtle. Half of the place is sound proofed for people wanting a livelier experience at the bar or more intimacy during dinner. In addition, the food and service are superb. The staff that waited me, Brice, Neha, Sara, and Florian, were very attentive and made me feel comfortable. I will certainly recommend this establishment to my friends and family.
This was the best hidden gem!!!! The French onion soup was the greatest I’ve ever had! This was such a good burger as well and the lightly dressed Bibb salad was divine. What an incredible traditional French restaurant in the heart of Austin! Bravo team!
My wife and I stopped by for a late lunch after biking around Austin and the University. It was a cozy French bistro, the food was excellent and the drinks were even better. Highly recommend dropping by, leave room for desert and the brown rabbit cocktail!
I had the spinach eggs Benedict and it was very tasty. Great service also. 👏
