Review by Maxine Fahey

September 23, 2024

Le Refuge is a charming slice of France right in Alexandria! 🇫🇷 I dropped by for lunch and was enchanted by the cozy atmosphere and friendly service. I opted for the classic croque monsieur and paired it with a divine cappuccino - easily one of the best coffees I've had in a while! For dessert, the chocolate mousse was a must-try, rich and indulgently creamy. Perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a peaceful solo meal. Just remember to make reservations, as it can get busy! ✨ Highly recommend!
