I loved my visit to this charming French spot! The escargot and foie gras were highlights, bringing back fond memories of France. The stuffed quail was delightful, but the dessert fell flat - the profiteroles were a letdown. Still, a delightful atmosphere for brunch or dinner!

Cafe Rabelais is a delightful spot in Rice Village, perfect for those craving authentic French flavors! 🇫🇷

We started with the Escargot and Foie Gras, both were tasty but the Escargot was a tad too salty for my liking. The stuffed quail was a highlight - perfectly prepared!

Dessert was a mixed bag; the profiteroles didn’t meet my expectations, resembling an ice cream sandwich instead.

Nonetheless, the cozy atmosphere and lovely wine selection make it worth a visit. I’d love to try their brunch next... 🥐✨
