Le Reve Pâtisserie & Café

Le Rêve is a French bistro and bakery located in the heart of Wauwatosa Village. They serve a range of fairly traditional French dishes such as bouillabaisse, steak au poivre, and branzino, along with classic hors d’oeuvres like escargot, confit canard, and savory crêpes. The appetizers were very good, especially the escargot, which was served in what appeared to be a Provençal or southern French–inspired preparation, with dried tomatoes adding depth of flavor. The puff pastries accompanying the escargot were light and fluffy. For entrées, my wife ordered the steak au poivre with a rich red wine peppercorn sauce, which was quite good and tasted authentic.

We love Le Reve for dessert. Finally we tried the dinner on NYE. Excellent service. Hope someone came and refilled our water since our bottle was empty. I agreed with another review that the food doesn’t reflect the price point, both quality and arrangement. My steak was so chewy I had to split them out 6-7 times before I gave up. We paid $300 (2pp) for the meal minus dessert. Quick recommendation: upgrade the silverware, change fries to a steakhouse cut, messed up the service? Comp a drink at least.

My husband and I do date breakfast once a month. He loves French cuisine and google helped me find this Cafe. It was 💯 spot on with flavor , comfort and service. We highly recommend.

I love Le Reve! Incredibly food, quaint atmosphere, and beautiful, delectable desserts! My favorite appetizer is the Brie with honey and soup. I enjoy their cappuccinos and other coffee drinks and for a main entree I like their steak sandwich and the Niçoise salad with salmon. My favorite dessert is the chocolate mousse but no matter which dessert you choose, you and go wrong.

Step into this delightful cafe, where delicious French cuisine is served and exquisite pastries await. With attentive service that makes you feel right at home, Parisian bistro ambiance, every visit here feels like a little slice of France. Come experience the charm for yourself!
