De La Terre BYOB

We’ve had the pleasure of dining here more than 10 times since it opened (which is more than once per month).

The experience has always been wonderful and the food delicious. Upon arriving, you should be seated momentarily and the tables are well-spaced.

Once seated and while perusing the seasonally-changing menu you will be offered a complimentary toast of sparkling wine. It’s always welcome and a nice touch.

The food is executed perfectly, it’s one of my favorite things about the experience, no matter what I try it’s divine.

It’s the perfect place for date night and you don’t have to go into the city to enjoy fine dining!

We have been looking forward to dining at De La Terre for a few weeks, and are very pleased! To have a higher end dining experience like this in Downingtown is welcome and refreshing. Right from the start, including how we were greeted, seated and treated we knew we were in for a wonderful time. The atmosphere is pleasant, tables are spaced out nicely, and the decor all added up to a great time. We could hear our own conversations at the table but not those of the other diners. There was a perfect balance of ambience and low level music.

The staff was attentive, friendly, smiling and knowledgeable. You can tell these people know how to run a great restaurant. Our food was all perfectly prepared and served in a relaxing pace. Our appetizers included oysters, escargot, and the cheese plate. Our main courses were the king bay salmon, the gnocchi, the venison and the duck. All delicious! Every detail from the initial champagne toast to the little chocolate treats and French press coffee at the end were perfect!

Go and enjoy this new and exciting establishment! Such a treat compared to all the other mediocre places you can find everywhere else.

Finally!!!!

Delicious French food and wonderful service. The complimentary champagne and amuse bouche was a very nice touch. We had the eggs, escargot, steak tartare as appetizers and the duck and the gnocchi as entrees. With crème brûlée for dessert. All delicious! A few photos of the yummy dishes.

Absolutely outstanding! One of the most delicious and decedent meals I've ever had. Service was impeccable, they brought amuse-bouche and a sweets sampler on the house and started us off with some house 🥂 champagne. Just incredible!!

Go here while you can still get a reservation, this place is going to book-up fast once word gets out. My wife and I went here after reading about it on a local forum and it was phenomenal!
From the bread and amuse-bouche to the coffee at the end of the meal, everything was delicious!
We picked a croissant and brioche for our bread- light, fluffy, buttery, amazing! The amuse-bouche was a sweet potato base with a foam and candied pecan… excellent.
For appetizers we got the beetroot salad and escargot. Both were unlike any escargot and beat-root salads we’ve ever had in the best way possible.
My wife ordered the duck and I got the steak frites. My wife said it was the best duck she has ever had! The skin was crispy, the meat was cooked to perfection (let the chef decide how much your duck should be cooked, don’t order it over cooked!).
My steak was cooked perfect (rare- as it should be), and the fries were thin, crispy and the perfect complement.
The deserts were the perfect end to the meal. The flourless chocolate cake with a mango sorbet and passion fruit topping was rich and tart, not overly sweet. Perfect. The crème brûlée was easily one of the best we’ve ever had, outstanding. The coffee was excellent as well.
All of this was made even better by the incredibly attentive and courteous staff! Our server, Caitlyn, was open and honest with her suggestions and seemed to delight in the opportunity to help us have the best meal possible. She was great. The rest of the staff was equally attentive and were laser-focused on making sure we had a great meal.
We will be back, if we can get a table.
