Patisserie Boissiere Restaurant Reviews
A Bakery and French Restaurant in Carmel, CA
Charlie Lewis2024-05-01Coquille St. Jacques made me cream
Vivian Zhao2024-04-25I really love their bakery. The crème brûlée and the muffins all taste sooooo yummy without too much sugar added! I love it!
Elaine Alvarez2024-04-15We had the most delicious meal at this restaurant. The best mashed potatoes ever. I highly recommend dining here.
Kimberly Marks2024-04-06Cold, rainy day and wanted a bowl of French onion soup. This place came up on Google and did not disappoint. All of our food was amazing. Cute, quaint place for a warm delicious lunch. They also have their own bakery. My husband very much enjoyed his Sea Bass Sandwich on French bread. We will definitely return when we visit the area again.
T'Andre White2024-03-31We asked for a table for two + our husky. They were able to sit us all down in welcoming and separate area. All staff were gracious and patient and polite. The French cuisine was quite delicious and both the brunch and regular menu were easy to navigate and order from. Served a full water for the table and some bread to get us started. Full flavors in the chicken pot pie and eggs Benedict were phenomenal. Check this place out.
Andy Kim2024-03-30Such a charming restaurant with delicious, distinct dishes and very friendly service. Visited here for a special occasion, made sure to come by again a year later for the same reason because the first time was so memorable.

BeckyW2024-04-22Very charming little restaurant right in the middle of Carmel. We were seated right at the time of our reservation and treated like family. Food was amazing and very affordable! Would definitely return. They even gave me a free slice of yummy dessert for my birthday,Picky2024-04-19Great service, delicious food! Dessert if you can have it, is always outstanding!

Kathleen F2024-03-06Quaint and delicious! Been a few times now and always happy with whatever we’ve gotten. Great food and service with a homie atmosphere. Feels like you’re at your French aunts house for lunch.
Michael L2024-02-10Not just a pretty face The atmosphere seemed genuine gentile, country French. While known for its patisseries, we chanced upon this establishment for dinner on a Wednesday early evening. We started with mushrooms stuffed with spinach and cheese. They were tasty but unexciting. I had scampi on pasta with artichokes and diced tomatoes in a white sauce. A full, sautéed garlic bulb sat in the center of it upon delivery. The sauce was superb!!! My wife had baked salmon in parchment with rice and a vegetable mix (zucchini, carrots, bell peppers). She also raved about her dish. If we lived nearby, we’d become regulars. The prices were reasonable and both the fare and service were excellent. The owner is apparently from at least near Paris.
Jan Q2024-01-31Love the food and ambiance. Charming, quiet and great food. We go for lunch or dinner whenever we stay in Carmel. It's hard to find all three qualities in one restaurant.
sgbgalt2023-11-08Charming and delicious Excellent dinner. Local halibut, the best short ribs I have ever had and Osso bucco. The place is charming and the service was top notch. For the quality of the food and service it was reasonably priced and a really special night.
David G2023-11-02A wonderful little bistro-style restaurant This little gem is really wonderful. We've been eating here for years and it is asd good as ever. Classic dishes, innovative new items, and a charming and personal atmosphere. We love it.
Bill R2023-10-23As good a French Onion Soup as you're likely ever to find in Paris! I travel to Europe a few times each year, and when in Paris I seek out restaurants that specialize in French Onion Soup. Well, it's been many years since I found a soup in Paris as good as the one served here in Carmel. The Apple Tarts also rival some well known places in the City of Light, too! Add to that a warm, informal, and traditional ambience, and you have one of my favorite places to eat in California.
irishrover402023-08-28A genuine culinary joy- along with outstanding service , a gregarious chef and a very drinkable Malbec A five star experience in every way- our second visit and it actually surpassed our previous visit. The Parchment Salmon and Cocquille St. Jocque - excuse the spelling- were both delicious. Our friends were equally impressed- well worth a visit!! The staff is first class!!
Leslie M2023-08-06It's a gem! Cozy ambience, excellent service, delicious food, great location! This is one of my top three favorite restaurants in Carmel! It has a lovely ambience - cozy and charming, like your grandmother's living room. The service is consistently excellent and the food is always delicious; my favorite is their roasted chicken and spinach salad, and my husband loves their rack of lamb, but couldn't resist the tender salmon in parchment this time. We were happy to introduce another (local) couple to PB - they loved it! It's perfectly located, next to Carmel Plaza and walking distance to everywhere, including Sunset Center. It's open from 11:30 to 9:00 (except Mon and Tue, when they close at 4:30), so it's easy to drop in any time. P.S. Their baked goods are amazing! I love to take a pastry to go for the next morning!
