Our Guestbook
“ We tried four different dishes and they were all excellent. The restaurant staff was nice and the place itself was clean. French food at different places were always bad and too salty. We had croque monsieur, croque madame, omlette, and onion soup, and they were all excellent. I highly recommend the onion soup. Almond croissant and baguette is highly recommended. Their cappuccino is also worth trying. ”
“ My husband and I absolutely love this place! It's the best spot for coffee and pastries, and their brunch menu is delicious. The quality is top-notch, and the atmosphere feels like a charming boutique coffee shop. Everything tastes amazing, and the owners and servers are incredibly friendly and polite. Highly recommend! ”
“ I’ve been to Motier probably 15 times since they opened and they consistently deliver on high quality products and you want tell they care about their customers. You always get a warm welcome when you arrive at the store. My favorite items are the almond croissant and breakfast croissants I need to come back to dine in at some point! ”
“ Highly recommend this simple and quaint cafe for a cozy meal with high quality ingredients and preparation. It’s like dining at your fancy aunt’s house. We purchased some items out of the pastry case (apple turnover, leek croissant, blueberry cream cheese croissant) and all were perfect in terms of texture and flavor. The entree items were all exceptional; full of flavor and prepared with precision. My only regret was that I came too early and would not be able to enjoy the lunch items such as coq au vin. I shall return :) ”
“ If you’re looking for a real French Baguette and croissants, this is the best place in all of Northern Virginia. Guys, this is the place your girlfriend/wife is looking for. Tons of great shops and things to see in Clifton. You’ll be glad you took them there! Recommend a fresh baguette (weekends only), the apple tart, and plain croissants! Have been remarkably satisfied with every visit! ”
“ Super cute cafe! Our food was excellent. We stopped in for lunch. The indoor tables are reserved for those choosing to have lunch with table service. The outdoor tables were available for those wishing to have to go items from the bakery case. The service was excellent. There were some technical difficulties on the day we went; however, that isn’t the cafe’s fault. They handled it as best they could. ”
“ The interior of this place is really cute. A lot of french related memorabilia. They also hang chef's certificate from France which shows their confidence in the food. Which they should be. We ordered Croque Madame and Monsieur, and their Ratatouille and they were amazing. The bread was soft and savory, and the cheese they used on Croque was really good. ”
“ Very delicious brunch in Clifton. The food is very fresh and the cooking is superb. Will be coming back for dinner. We sat outside on a nice day and it was a very enjoyable meal. ”
