“ Excellent menu, pleasant ambiance, good service and convenient location. French Onion soup and Smoked Salmon salad are my lunch favorites. ”
“ We had a wonderful breakfast there. Hidden off Cerrillos, but worth the time to get there. Large dining area, ample parking. Delightful help and the pastries like no other. ”
“ We visited Madame Matisse yesterday and had delicious French toast plain and with berries. The latter is served with a berry syrup. Both are accompanied by dollops of whipped cream and served in an appealing manner. While we were enjoying our breakfast, the aroma of just baked pastries filled the air. The display was mouth-watering so we bought a cinnamon twist, a chocolate croissant, and almond croissant. They were very impressive. The baker is French, which explains the high quality--flaky and delightful. Our waitress, also from France, was very welcoming and provided attentive service. It's a small and unassuming place that can't be missed. ”
“ A true gem of a restaurant! The food was par excellence and the pastries were outstandin. I recommend their Sunday brunch, and pets are welcome inside! ”
“ Madame Matisse has such GOOD food. Their sandwiches are always fresh (the Italian and the Banh Mi are very delicious!), the pastries are insanely good, and the service is always short and sweet as preferred. Their croissants are really great, and I've been finding myself craving them in the mornings. I recently tried the raisin roll and that was amazing, very tasty and lightly sweet. The owner is very kind, and I've never had an issue with my food in all of the times I have went to eat/picked up from here. I really can't say enough nice things, so what are you waiting for?? Go! ”
“ I had the best club sandwich I've ever eaten in my LIFE here for brunch on Saturday. The bread was toasted with butter in a skillet, the lettuce was crisp, the tomatoes were fresh and the sandwich was jam packed with turkey and avocado. It was so filling, in fact, I had some left over for an afternoon snack. The French fries are better than I've ever had, as well. They were crispy and light, not oily. The woman was short staffed, so she was taking care of the front all by herself. That didn't affect her hospitality, though. She was great. Whenever I'm feeling like a turkey club, this will be my go-to place. ”
“ Went for brunch today...warm goat cheese salad is delicious, Spanish omelet was good, accompanying gratin potatoes are superb! Also ordered an almond croissant. It was good but so much almond filling that it weighed down the fluffiness of the croissant. I will 100% return. Merci for the awesome brunch! I arrived at 9 am. It is better to arrive at 10 am, because I watched alot of fresh baked pastries delivered to display case between 9 and 10 am. ”
