  Went to Bureau on the advice of some of our close friends, and the experience was exceptional! We’re long-time neighbors and forever Austinites, so we’ve been through the gamut of establishments that have come and gone over the years. There’s something so unique and special about this restaurant - not just in terms of their take on modern French cuisine, but something much more subtle and warm. The space is friendly and bright, yet somehow deeply romantic as it is set purposely within a quaint and lively bodega that sells both local and international goods. This alone isn’t the sole driver of what stands out. For that detail you must come in and experience it yourself to truly appreciate. It’s the soul that goes into each dish and the delivery. It’s the people behind it all. What made our meal amazing was Chef Pierce’s dedication to his craft. All of our courses were incredible because of how well planned each ingredient and their preparation were executed. Ralph brought his knowledge of wine with a smile, and Elliot mastered dessert for us. Of course it all takes a great server to deliver and Finneas made us feel like family. To Bureau - thank you for treating us so well! To everyone else, please give this place a try.

  The duck confit with venison sausage was very tasty. The fish was very under seasoned and a bit overcooked too. And the service left a lot to be desired (took 5 minutes to get some salt, no spoon for the mignonette, and we had to ask for silverware for our dessert). The strawberry tart with thyme was very yummy though!

  Went here last minute for dinner with my partner and my sister. the hostess greeted us with “you obviously don’t have a reservation!” which felt really rude. mind you there were three or four empty tables in the restaurant when we arrived. the bathroom was dirty and had no paper towels. the person who served us was so rude and dismissive. she was rude to my sister for no reason. they were closing down the restaurant two hours before their listed close time on google maps. it just felt like we were inconveniencing them by wanting to eat there! the food was also not worth the price tag. it was good but not worth the price we paid. and then!!! i called the restaurant a couple days later to speak to the manager, left a message and he never called me back!!!!! you couldn’t pay me to eat here again.

  Love the dog friendly patio! Switched back to being more plant based with my eating and has the avo toast with sprouts. Delicious! When I asked my server if there were any GF and PB options for dessert, he had the kitchen make me one---on the house! It was toasted sourdough with fresh berries and a drizzle of raspberry syrup. Delicious! Prior to adopting a plant based diet again, I would order the Croque Madame or the Eggs Benny. You can't go wrong with either!
