Great little place for breakfast and lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed eggs benedict, vegetable omelet, and beignets that melted in our mouths. Good wait staff, too. Wish they were close to my home.

A long line outside made us worried but once inside we were offered seating at the "bar" and were served immediately. The specials all featured seasonal local produce and sounded amazing! The food was fabulous; the Cafe Vanille was outstanding; we can't want to go back! Great place for breakfast in Traverse City!

Our visit was a birthday brunch for my 6 year old. The kids had waffles, strawberries and great fresh whipped cream. Perfect for them. My wife and I had crepes. They were fantastic. Her salmon and spinach crepe was so good my mouth is watering just typing this. :-) I had a more traditional ham, fried egg and cheese crepe.... More

The meal I most enjoy is Oelfs Africainne and their rich Coffee. Small and quaint, intimate and cozy - this side street gem is eeasily one of the best restaurants in Traverse City.

This place has the best breakfast! Not your "heart attack special" menu, but beautiful French owlets and crepes. Also a lovely bistro in the evening with a nice wine selection.

My husband and I were looking forward to a relaxing, delicious TGIF dinner / evening at Chez Peres. We often eat here for breakfast / brunch and really like the quality of the food. When I called for reservations, I was told they were accommodating a large party and I was asked if we would like to be seated away... More

Went to this cute little French Bistro place for brunch on Sunday on the recommendation of our hotel manager! Chez Perfect! I love steak and eggs--so I ordered the filet mignon benedict ($14) and it was simply delicious. The eggs were poached to perfection, the filet was delicious and the ever so hard to make perfect hollandaise was incredible. This... More

Although it is a small (tiny) restaurant, any wait you might have is well worth it! We had a mouth-watering breakfast here late one morning and didn't have a wait, although all the other tables were taken. (I believe there were no more than 8 tables.) The creative food/seasoning combinations are very distinctive.
