Le ARTISAN BOULANGERIE 📍 Ahmedabad - Restaurant Review

Restaurant • Desserts

Go for : delectable desserts & continental food, in a cozy Parisian chic ambience

There's no dearth of pretty cafes & restaurants in Ahmedabad surely, but on 20th November 2022, I visited Le Artisan Boulangerie which takes the cake (pun intended) for being the prettiest space in Ahmedabad!!

I was on the search for a pretty patisserie with cozy vibes and since it was a Sunday, I was trying to avoid places with boisterous, noisy crowds. Le Artisan Boulangerie was the perfect restaurant for this purpose. Tucked away in a quaint by-lane of Sindhu Bhavan Road, this place turned out to be the embodiment of Parisian chic.

Tastefully designed Parisian interiors, crystal glassware, pretty florals all over, the ambience was stunning!

WHAT WE ORDERED

The menu is an interesting mix of Italian, Continental & Mexican dishes, along with an assortment of the most delectable looking desserts. We ended up ordering the following:

• Chicken Stroganoff

• Le Artisan Boulangerie Margherita Pizza

• Blue Pea & Ginger Iced Tea

• Think Pink (freshly churned pure fruit juice, which was gobbled up very fast, so not pictured here)

• Chocolate Orange Dessert (selected from the assorted desserts on display)

The absolutely lip-smacking Chocolate & Orange Dessert, which we chose from the desserts display. Side note: madly in love with the stunning dessert spoons!

The gorgeous looking Margherita pizza that we tried. Yummy mozzarella oozing from it, the pizza was a delightful melt-in-your-mouth dish, with the cherry tomatoes adding just the right amount of tang and acidic balance to it.

The unassuming Chicken Stroganoff...do not let the looks deceive you. The dish may have looked simple, but it was amongst the better stroganoffs I've had in Ahmedabad. The chicken was juicy, and the sauce had the right balance.

Loved the pretty crystal glassware, coupled with the beautiful flowers!

The gorgeous Blue Pea & Ginger Iced Tea. Blue Pea is a delightful flower which lends a gorgeous blue hue to all the drinks that it's added to. The theatrical aspect is, that when lemon juice is added to it, the colour transforms into a stunning violet/pink right in front of your eyes. Absolutely loved this drink!

THE AMBIENCE

Parisian chic, is how I would describe the ambience here. The team has created a little Paris in the by-lanes of Sindhu Bhavan Road. Magnificent chandeliers, pretty frescoed ceilings, lots and lots of pastels, peppered with beautiful flowers, the patisserie was a delight to spend time at.

THE SERVICE

Loved, loved, loved the service here! All the staff members were super polite and attentive. The service was super efficient, and all the dishes were served at a relaxed pace, which gave us the time to really savour all of them. Kudos to the team for such a great job!

THE COST

Our bill came to be around ₹ 1,800/-, for 2 main course dishes, 2 drinks & 1 dessert.

THE FINAL VERDICT

This is the perfect place for a cozy afternoon with your loved ones, or your closest friends. Enjoy a cuppa, with a few yummy desserts, or have a great multi-cuisine lunch like we did. Bliss, isn't it? This is not the place, however, to go with a large group, simply because in larger groups, you would not be able to truly savour the laid-back vibe here.

My final ratings:

• Food: 9/10

• Service: 10/10

• Ambience: 10/10 (I mean, just look at the pictures!)

• Value for Money: 9/10 (some might find it a tad bit pricey for this city, but for the sheer joyful experience that they're providing, in such a gorgeous setting, with yummy dishes, I felt the prices were absolutely justified!)

• Overall: 9.5/10

I would say, it's an absolute must visit in Ahmedabad, for a cozy afternoon, with dainty looking desserts and a chic Parisian vibe.
