La Cabriole

The food and service are both spectacular. The atmosphere is great and very cozy.

A delightful experience. The chef and the owner are welcoming, accommodating, and accomplished professionals.

If you are looking for a true one of a kind dining experience where you can relax and eat 7 courses of edible and very tasty artwork, La Cabriole is for you! Beautiful French Cuisine with southern hospitality. When I had first emailed the restaurant about reservations, Ms. Geraldine responded in a timely manner, went over the menu options for the main course and asked if we had any dietary restrictions (which I really appreciate since gluten doesn’t like me). She also explained how guests can bring their own wine and they will open for you there at no extra charge. I told her my husband and I were not drinkers so she made sure and had a bottle of sparkling grape juice there for us (which we love)!
The restaurant is located in a very peaceful countryside valley with an awesome view of the mountains.
We were welcomed by Ms. Geraldine standing on the porch ready to greet us, take our coats and walk us to our private table right in front of the fireplace. While we ate, French music played in the background. The food was a delicious art!!! It started with a tomato bisque soup followed by an appetizer, then bread, then filet mignon for the main course cooked to a perfect medium rare. We were then brought salad, a 4-cheese plate with more delicious gluten free bread just for me! Then we were brought dessert and then coffee. The best part about the experience was Ms. Geraldine and the chef who cooked and served us. The chef ensured we had knowledge about our food and how special and meaningful each course was to the mind and body. They made us feel so special by learning the true art of serving. After the coffee we were brought our bill (she made sure we were ready for the bill first) on a silver platter with a beautiful red rose, 2 chocolate truffles and a beautiful handwritten breakdown of the cost. Ms. Geraldine also asked if we could sign the guestbook, which of course I was excited to do so! If you want a truly romantic atmosphere and a quiet place to relax and get some QT with your spouse, here is your spot!

My husband surprised me to a delicious 7 course French meal for our 3 year anniversary. I had great expectations for this restaurant as our honeymoon was spent in France and wanted a taste of that experience again. La Cabriole delivered!

We were first welcomed by Ms. Geraldine while French music played in the background. The seating was comfortable and she even gave us the option to choose which table we preferred. We did not bring any wine because I am pregnant, but you do have the option to bring any wine you would like and they will open it and chill it for you if you need. Seeing we did not have wine, Ms. Geraldine quickly brought us a bottle of sparkling apple cider...such a sweet thought.

The food was absolutely delicious. It started with a tomato bisque soup followed by an appetizer plate with quiche and veggies. We were then brought bread and salad. Just when I was starting to get full I was brought Chicken Piccata and my husband was brought Steak. Then we had a cheese plate followed by dessert and then coffee. We were so full, but so happy.

The best part about the experience was Ms. Geraldine. She made us feel as if we were welcomed into her home in the French countryside. She cooked the food herself, waited on us, and even sat down and talked with us about the restaurant history and her French travels for almost 45 minutes. She is a delight!

If you want a one of a kind experience in Chattanooga, then you definitely need to visit this restaurant.

My wife went there for our wedding anniversary. We had just came back from spending 18 days in France. This meal was as good as anything we had in France. Can’t say enough about how great the food was. My wife has celiac and the total meal was gluten free. Highly recommend.
