    After trying seventy percent of the menu over several visits with the family on Saturdays during the farmers market. I have come to the conclusion there is Nothing memorable here just average food and pastry..

    At many times in my life I have read about characters in books, plays, biographies or seen them in movies and travelogues dining at Parisian sidewalk cafes. It seems nothing can be better. Many of those who report the joy of the Paris cafe are people who could ruin any pleasure for me, from Hemingway to Stein to Bourdain. Happily, I have had the joy of French food at a sidewalk cafe with better than any of those self absorbed companions. I sat with a dear friend, who shared my student activist days, on the patio at La Chatelaine yesterday for lunch. Normally our conversations jump from decades ago to what happened that day. Not this time. We only commented on the pure pleasure the food provided. Shoppers carried bread, flowers, and herbs purchased from the Farmers Market stalls along the quaint High Street of Worthington. The rich onion soup, the crusty bread, and the beautifully tossed Cesar salad reminded me that the art of cooking is knowing what is essential. I will never get to Paris nor to Jerry Falwell's heaven. I do not need to as I had another of this-is-as-good-as-it-gets moments on a Saturday at La Chatelaine.

    My wife and I made reservations for a special dinner menu the restaurant was offering in recognition of Bastille Day. It was a nightmare. First it took forever before anyone came to our table. It was not busy. I had to ask the manager for attention. The waiter was pleasant but remained slow. They were out of one of the specials. (My selection was the main reason I wanted to visit the restaurant) I made another selection and my wife ordered. Shortly the waiter returned to tell us they were out of my wife's selection as well. She reselected. Our food came out - finally. The waiter brought me vegetables instead of potatoes that I had ordered. I had finished my meal when he finally brought the potatoes and guess what - the potatoes were cold! Fitting ending for a terrible experience. The food tasted fine but the portions were small. The table next to us complained twice about something. I'm not sure what their issues were. We will never return!

    Great service along with a great atmosphere for catching up with old friends. They also make a great chocolate truffle/pudding. I was impressed with the taste and wanted more but had chosen to share with a friend, my mistake. The servers were also very nice. I am always impressed when the workers actually know French and have lived in France. It makes the place more authentic. I didn't order anything off the menu and their prices are a little more than I like to pay but bakery has some good food. They also have good coffee along with cold water to refresh oneself when sitting outside in 90 degrees. Their ice maker wasn't working at the soda machine but they made sure they had a bucket with ice in it beside the machine. I plan to go back one of these days and try more food than just the bakery food but usually I end up here for dessert instead of a meal.

    I definitely enjoyed my visit here. It was a beautiful evening and we sat on the patio, which definitely helped. It has a great, ALMOST European feel to it, with a soothing little water fountain and some French pop music playing in the background. The dinner menu was not all that impressive, I kept flipping it over looking for more but every time there was only the drinks list..... But I found out later that they also serve lunch and breakfast, so I guess they do have a bit of variety there. Though I cannot speak for the authenticity, not being very familiar with french cuisine, it was very good. The pre-dinner bread and oil is fantastic, and [at least the night I was there] the service was VERY fast. I was apparently feeling especially American that day and ordered the dish that was basically macaroni and cheese, but it was very good macaroni and cheese. The $12 price tag was not too bad considering you get the bread, a side, and a huge portion. There were not really any cheaper options though, so keep that in mind. The staff is very friendly, It was a pleasant experience overall, it would just be nice with a bit more variety on the menu, both food and price-wise.

    Desiring a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning in Columbus is always a hit-or-miss affair. Sure there is the wonderful ZenCha, overrated yet good Northstar, obnoxiously crowded and scenester dominated Banana Bean, or downright awful Tee-Jays, First Watch, or Bob Evans. Sure I could pop in for a bagel at Panera or Einstein, but sometimes a little variety is good. Being out at the Worthington Farmer's market and having heard good things, we opted for La Chatelaine. Set up as a quaint French bistro, yet with a kitchen full of highschool guys and servers/cashiers no older than sixteen I must say I rather doubt the cullinary expertise of the staff. All things being equal, though, the servers did a good job of describing items and filling orders, so I cannot complain. Between the two of us we ordered two coffees, a half baguette, a croissant, a chicken and olive quiche, a chocolate mouse, and a pistacchio croissant. Standouts included the fantastic pistacchio croissant and the elegant yet delicious chocolate mouse as well as the stupendous french caramel coffee with unlimited refills. Lowlights were the lack of Nutella, a MUST at any legit french bistro (or American equivalents such as Bouchon,) high prices for quality/portion ($25 for the breakfast,) and the pre-prepared nature of the quiche which simply made the crust too dry by the time we arrived at 10am. In reality, I have to say I enjoyed the meal but believe that it was overpriced. On future visits I'd certainly opt for a chocolate mouse or berry tarte and coffee, but my search for a good French bistro in Columbus will have to continue. Not bad, but not "great" either.

    Service was great......Marco is always there greeting you with a smile and a bonjour. We've only had breakfast here but so far it's been great. Omlets light and fresh, hot chocoloate taste like cocao and not sugar hersheys/ swiss (i'm a Mormon so i don't know what the coffee is like), and the pastries are great! Patio is awsome for an early morning breakfast.

    Had a lovely morning on their patio recently. The food was really great and the patio was perfect on a nice summer morning. Not sure why I haven't done this before because its on my list to visit again soon.

    This place is a must-stop every time I come home to Columbus. It has a very inviting and quaint atmosphere, mimicking something you'd see in France. I've been there both for lunch and for pastries. I must say, their Napoleon is the tastiest thing I've ever had in my life, and that's what I go back for every time I am home. They fill theirs with a custard type filling that I cannot find anywhere else. I've tried Napoleons elsewhere, to include the bakery inside the Paris hotel in Vegas and it's STILL not as good (everyone else seems to use cream filling, and they use the custard which is the best part). This place is AWESOME for a date!

    Definitely a fan of the La Chatelaine restuarants. Met up with a group for coffee & breakfast before heading out for the day. The staff have always been pleasant to me and very helpful when having trouble selecting from the menu. Had coffee and a quiche loraine this morning. quiche was flakey and just what I wanted. I love the outdoor seating on such a beautiful day when I visited. Thumbs up!

    I don't understand the appeal of this chain restaurant. I food is plain, typically dry and has little flavor. The clientele is always rich old people the 4-5 times I have stopped in. The initial service is cafeteria style. (You have a tray and slide it along picking out items you want and slowing making your credit card company happier and happier.) I have not had the croissants, but the reviews here say they are excellent. The sandwiches are basic, but not in a good way. They remind me of something my grandmother would make to be fancy, but falls flat. This review got an extra star for the Tomato basil soup, which is terrific. I think the prices are incredibly steep. I have had food at many other places that was so much better, for so much more reasonable rates. The patio is nice, but if you are going here thinking it is like Sage Bistro, you will be letdown. I have not had a lot of things from the bakery. I am hoping this is where the place shines.

    I never write a second review for a place, so this is specail! I just popped in real quick to grab a baguette for dinner. I asked for it at the counter without seeing they were out, and instead of saying "sorry we're out" I hear "hang on, let me go make you one"....I offered to take one of the ones already made, but he insisted. What a great buisness! It really pays to be a regular here!

  • Natasha L.

    Oui, I love French food. I lived in France for a while, and find their croissants are the best in town - most authentically French. The tarts and pastries are also tasty. I tend to order the tomato basil soup; the quiche lorraine is fine - heavy flavor, nice on a chilly day. The other thing I like about this spot: their summer patio. A great place to enjoy with a real cafe feel. Be sure to enjoy it during a farmer's market! Overall, it's not the best french you'll ever have, but is affordable and yummy, a cozy spot when you need that certain je ne sais quoi - a manger.

  • Crystal O.

    This place is cute, with a very French feel. Their desserts are as beautiful as they are delicious. Prices are reasonable, and lunches are scrumptious. I had a salad, soup and half croissant sandwich for about $7. It's a great place to take clients, and you can sit outside. High street can be kind of noisy, but other than that, it's great! Quality coffee as well. I'm hoping to hit them up one evening to see what the wine is like.

  • Laura J.

    While the food I've had here has always been great (among my favorites are the turkey sandwich on baguette, tomato soup, quiche, and pastries), what I really come for is the rustic decor. I always enjoy my meal here, but my favorite thing is to meet a friend, sit and chat (I love it both inside and on the patio), and enjoy some good coffee and friendly service. This is not a cheap place, and I usually feel like I spent a bit too much, but when I leave I feel as relaxed as if I just had a mini vacation. And when compared to the cost of a trip to Europe to a similar cafe, it's definitely a bargain.

  • Lesia C.

    The food is just okay. I had herb omelette and my husband had fathers day omelette which looked and tasted like mine except for it had meat. I also had a fruit bowl and croissant and 2 cups of coffee. We paid $27. Fruit wasnt ripe. All in all it was ok, but for that price I would expect a little bit more. It is a buffet style breakfast and if I had not been to the place before for dinner I would probably ever be back after having this breakfast.

    Bad Service--Bad Food--Believe me-this is the farthest thing from a French Bistro. Having spent time in Paris, I never tasted such sub par food or had a manager actually seem annoyed that I questioned why the watery vegetable soup was devoid of vegetables. The only thing the place has going for it is location--being in the center of Worthington during the Saturday Worthington market--otherwise it would definitely not be crowded. One visit was enough for me--no return.

    As a lover of baked goods - these croissants are second only to Pistacia Vera. Awesome staff is very friendly. Best quality ingredients. Good spot for a light brunch as well.

    A co-worker had recommended this establishment. When I walked in, it felt like walking into Grandma's kitchen. For the first time visitor, the staff was friendly, and the service was helpful. A friend and I ordered fruit tarts, which were not too sweet and very fresh. I also had a cappuccino with a great foam. I definitely need to return again for the fresh lemonade.

    My husband and I received from a friend, a $20 gift certificate she won here from a raffle. Thank goodness we only had to shell out an extra $10 on top of that or I would be furious. $30 for what we had is pitiful. The way you move through the cafeteria lunch line was corny, and he people are not helpful or pleasant. I got a cinnamon raisin croissant (cinnamon roll) which was so hard I could barely pull it apart and could barely chew it. I returned it for one that was only slightly softer. I also got an omlet that was good, but not great. They recommended their wheat bread when I asked what my choice of bread was with my eggs. It was very hard, no soft center. My mouth is torn up on the inside from trying to eat it. Hmmm, maybe I don't understand French food, but it was stale. They claim to make their own, so It should have been fabulous. My husband had an omlet that he said was good, I think it had salmon and cream cheese. He also had an apple fritter that was also stale. If this is what French food is supposed to be like, I HATE FRENCH FOOD. I will never go back.

    A great cafe. We mainly go here for soup (love the creamy tomato basil), salad, pastries and wine. The food selection is relatively simple, but almost everything we've had has been well made and enjoyable. The variety and quality of the wines and pastries make it particularly stand out from most Columbus restaurants in its price range. We particularly enjoy coming in on the weekend when we have the time to enjoy a couple glasses of wine, a small meal and a pastry dessert. It's not the cheapest dining choice, but I feel the prices are reasonable given the quality of the food and service. I'm not a fan of the weekday buffet lunch. I am a fan of soup and bread to go as a quick dinner.

  • Rose R.

    I'd choose the baguette and maybe a cup of coffee here, although I probably wouldn't go again. We had lunch - a veggie sandwich for me and french onion soup and sandwich for my husband, followed by a napoleon dessert. Everything was borderline terrible. Veggie sandwiches can be hit or miss (usually a miss) and my sandwich maintained that 'miss' reputation; I'm going to stop ordering veggie sandwiches altogether I think. Anyway, the sandwich had an unappetizing, dry and tasteless combo of uncooked and unseasoned sweet peppers and a sprinkling of lettuce, and the french onion soup came out as broth with a few onions and swiss cheese on the side (which was odd). The french fries were decent. The napoleon wasn't fresh and after I found a hair in it (that wasn't mine!), I was done. We've had true french food in big cities as well as on French occupied turf, and this restaurant was a sore representation. The only reason I didn't give it a one star is because the service was good and the baguette was tasty.

  • Keith F.

    I really like this place as a breakfast joint. The breakfast sandwiches, though pricey, are very good. They did raise the price to $10 but it does come with a drink. The croissant is probably the best I've had anywhere ever. I get my sandwich with Swiss cheese, bacon, and make sure you ask for lettuce and tomato is you so choose. The pastries are almost like lacquered replicas. It is a really neat place and a great place to take the wife for breakfast after dropping the kids at school. The macaroons are very good also! Stop by but realize it's not a cheap breakfast but I think this would appeal to most people!

    Nice spot. Our waiter Miles was the best. Good service, communication, and you could tell he really enjoyed his job. He was absolutely amazing. The food was good. The wine was exceptional. Atmosphere was very cozy, reminiscent of a family-oriented dining room. I enjoyed.

    When I first moved to Worthington, I frequented La Chatelaine regularly for the desserts and soup and to sit outside on the lovely patio. I quite like the general ambiance and food, but feel it's a bit overpriced for what you get. After living in France for a while, I've come to realize this is authentic (albeit simple) French cuisine... Caesar salads, Croque Madames and Monsieurs, tarts, baguettes and French onion soup. The flavors are good, but not great. The desserts rock! I still like to come here on occassion. The patio remains one of my favorite outdoor drinking spots in Columbus, It's quiet and unlike so many other patios, overlooks a more scenic part of High Street in Olde Worthington. This location is a little different than the La Chatelaine closer to me, and I enjoy the formal rustic ambiance the restaurant here takes on during dinner time. I still can't say the food is any better here than at other locations. It's good. Not great. But who needs Caesar Salad and Croque Madams? They carry their signature fabulous baguettes, crusty peasant breads and pastries. That alone is enough to get me in the door on a regular basis. If you struggle to find parking on High Street, a large, free, public lot is located behind the building, accessible from New England.

    I would love to know why people rave about this place. Yeah, the setting is cool and the historic building is interesting, but in my two visits, I left hungry after not having any desire to finish my food. I mean, when you pay a premium for a croissant breakfast sandwich, you don't expect the croissant to be Sahara-dry, and the sausage and eggs to be flavorless. I'm having trouble thinking of a worse breakfast sandwich I've eaten in my life, and that includes McDonald's. The coffee is bad, too. Fortunately, in my last visit, the Worthington Arts Festival was taking place right outside the door, so I could supplement my breakfast with some good food. La Chatelaine is basically a cafeteria. With the Worthington Inn, Old Bag of Nails, O'Ryans, etc., all within walking distance, there's no reason to come here.

  • Hannah H.

    Nothing bad, nothing specific to say anything good. So if you are looking for some good bread and french pastries, try it out. On a nice day, there a patio area which is relaxing and quiet to take a break.

  • Mechelle S.

    I stopped in here on a whim on the suggestion of a woman at church. It was amazing, and I was not prepared haha. There's a giant pastry case (and they're very well priced) and amazing coffee. I happened to come on a Sunday so there was a big brunch spread that smelled amazing, but I ended up just getting a blue berry pastry and some macaroons. Will definitely be back to sample more treats! Also, it was super cool to hear the pastry guy speaking French with customers--it was legit like I stepped out of Ohio and into Paris.

    The La Chatelaine is a French bakery and a bistro rolled into one. I've only ever eaten breakfast and after-dinner desserts at La Chatelaine, so my review will be focuses on those aspects of this restaurant. I live much closer to the La Chatelaine on Lane Avenue, so I usually go to that one, but made the trek out to this one in Worthington yesterday to meet with family for a Sunday breakfast. In comparison to the one in Upper Arlington, this La Chatelaine in Worthington seems much larger with more seats. Unfortunately, parking space is relatively limited at both locations. I just got back from a trip to Paris last week, and if you were to compare them to actual Parisian bakeries, La Chatelaine might only be 3 stars. But here in Columbus, this is probably as good as you're going to find. Their breads, quiche, and sandwiches are all pretty good. Their beignets are only so-so. Their cakes are absolutely delicious and gorgeous. And their coffees are excellent (with free refills)-- Their Columbian French Roast is one of my favorites in town. I wouldn't necessarily want to eat breakfast here every day, but I think it's a nice treat every now and then.

    I have been to this location once, for baked goods. The baked goods were fresh tasting and packaged well for the travel home. They were a bit pricier than grocery store prices, but they have many unique desserts (my son loves the chocolate mouse--not mousse) and they're all worth the splurge! Very cozy atmosphere, love the decor.

    627 High St Worthington, OH (614) 848-6711 I wandered into La Chatelaine Bistro last evening tired, hungry and knowing nothing about the place. I was greeted warmly in English and French and handed a menu (in case I decided to stay) The Tables were adorned with fragrant peonies. The menu had many appetizers, soups and salads as well as entrees to choose from. Some were called "petits plats" (small plates) but the portions looked as generous as they were delicious. After consternation I chose the Coq-qu-vin and requested a substitution of a vegetable de jour over the suggested mushrooms. I choose the Tomato Basil soup to start with a peachy sparkling wine AVIVE nicely priced from Salon de Provence, France. It was light and enlivening a perfect spring aperitif. The Coq-Au Vin was appealing and served with crisp potatoes and a nice array of spring veggies. I finished with a café au lait and a delightful chocolate Mousse. The staff was so kind and the menu so alluring I will be sure to make a return trip.

    Croissants are real - delicious. Service is weak. Keep your ticket if eating in on busy day since they don't always bring everything you ordered.

    The hubby and I stopped here for a late Sunday afternoon lunch. It wasn't busy at the time, but you could tell they had been as a fair amount of tables had not been bused. If this review was based on service alone, I'd give it 5 stars. The staff behind the counter was great! They were very helpful in guiding us through our selections. We wanted to keep it simple so we both ordered bowls of soup. Tomato basil for me, French onion for the Hubs. For a dollar extra each, we added the cheese and croutons offered. Both soups were fresh, tasty and delicious - though my soup was rich enough and didn't really need the addition of cheese. Oh, lest I forget! You also get your choice if bread with your soup. I chose the sourdough. My husband chose the baguette. They were nice and crusty on the outside, with tender interiors. Overall, we had a good experience and will come back to try dinner.

    Oh gosh, no way. I will never, ever go here again. There were way too many negitives to outweigh the minimal positives. For ease of reading, I'll number them. Cons: 1. Both my sister and my father got the macaroni and cheese and despite the menu making it appear as though the cheese sauce is homemade, it definitely tastes like Kraft. My father barely touched it and the waiter didn't even notice. 2. I ordered the Lobster Bisque because the waiter told me it was very good. I kid you not, they probably brought me no more than half a cup (measuring cup) of bisque. For $12 that was the totality of what I got. That's appalling given the price and that the meat was very rubbery, possibly indicating that it had been frozen. 3. The table they sat us at was dirty and had not been wiped off. And two of our forks were visibly dirty. 4. They brought out enough bread for a table of 6 people but only gave us two butter pats. What kind of math is that? Pros: 1. The rabbit ragout was excellent, both in flavor and cook. 2. The tomato basil soup was also very good, but we got a very small portion for the money (in my opinion). As you can see, there is really no reason to visit this restaurant. The chances of picking something that is actually good instead of overpriced or fake tasting is very small. Chances are you're more likely to be disapointed then you are to be happy.

    I haven't tried their food but I did stop by for their bakery goods. We got an enclair (YUM!) and a chocolate croissant. I think we finished them both before even getting home. We were hoping to try some of their apple turnovers but we had to wait 15 minutes for them to reheat. (Reheating from the same day's batch so not as bad as it sounds). All their baked goods are made fresh everyday at the Chatelaine on Lane St. Then they deliver them and pop them in the oven. So if you're not going to the Lane St. location, try calling and asking if they have what you want. This way you won't have to wait 15 minutes for a croissant.

    How dare you substitute rib eye steak for petit filet mignon and not even understand the difference! And the manager on duty tried to blame the waitress! It's the kitchens's fault. Not hers. The so-called manager is unbelievable! Never again for dinner at this place! Zero stars if possible....

    This place may only be great at lunch or brunch. After reading the previous reviews, I was all set to have a great bistro dinner. I was very disappointed. I ordered the equivalent of a chicken pot pie (Vol au Vent de Poulet à la crème fraiche) and it was lacking in flavor and dry as a piece of parchment. My friend ordered the filet Mignon Sauce Béarnaise and Frites. The frites were from frozen potatoes not fresh and the filet looked like it fell off a truck. Aw, come on! The whole idea of a bistro is fresh. If you're not going to adhere to its true meaning, take it off your sign! The only redeeming quality of this restaurant is the dessert. The Chocolate mousse was so luscious I wanted to bathe in it. The decor is quite charming and the wine selection bears more research. This may have been great when it first opened but I would keep to the daylight hours and forget dinner. I'm sure they could do much better.

    Nice atmosphere. Nice patio. Friendly people. Good almond croissant, croissant and pan chocolat. Coffee is sadly mediocre. They had 3 kinds of reg. coffee and one decaf. I tried all 3 regular and they were all folgeresque. All in all, if you are going for the pastries I'd recommend.

    A great place to go for fast French food. Counter service is very fast (even through huge lines), ordering primarily from the pre-made items for breakfast and lunch, including fresh salads, soups (including the required "french" onion, but also other French countryside-inspired soups and stews) - served in breadbowl if desired (for a nominal charge), plus quiches, croissants, and sandwhiches like the aforementioned (and delicious) croque monsieur. The croques are usually only available at lunch time, and go fast, so make sure to get there EARLY. Dinner options also introduce one or two daily specials, again usually french countryside-style dishes - try the vol au vent if you can -- a creamy chicken stew-like dish served in a bread bowl. And if you're still hungry - well, they've got desserts for days - pastries, tortes, muffins, cookies and other treats, all baked fresh - the "Bakery" in the name isn't just for show!

  • Tracy S.

    La Chatelaine is probably the most likely place I'd become a local. I love stopping by in the afternoon for any kind of pastry - chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, fruit tart, anything, and a cup of coffee. It's simple but the baked goods are exceptional and the main attraction. I do find the lunches a little lacking, but aside from the calories and the long interval between preparation and actual eating time, I can't complain about a croque monsier. I'm less likely to dine here for dinner because of the simple approach that French food has in general, but that is not a fault of La Chatelaine.

    Best croissant in Columbus. I am picky about my croissant. I won't eat one unless it's really good. This is the ONLY place in Columbus that does a proper croissant, and that is what I get 9 times out of 10. I've also had their lunch special, which is fine, nothing amazing, but a half sandwich and bowl of soup for $7 or so. I also tried their happy hour for the first time last month and thought that was a good value. We got a cheese plate, the fries (which were killer and very belgian), and some sort of battered fried cheese (how can that not be good?). It was too much for two people, but at half price HH apps, it didnt' matter too much. They also bring out bread and butter. We had the signature martini, which was sweet, but very tasty. I had to pace myself as I wanted to drink it too quickly. I believe they were $4. I'd return for happy hour, and I will always return for the croissant. Oh, my dad who lives just a couple blocks from the arlington location always gets the blueberry muffin and likes that. It's more like a mini loaf. The ambience is pretty nice, it does have a slight european feel. PS. Oddly the next best croissant in Columbus is the frozen mini croissants from Trader Joe's. They aren't bad! You have to let them thaw/proof overnight and bake them in the morning. Pretty good, pretty pretty good.

    Worst restaurant in Columbus. The service is horrible. I stood there for 15 minutes while no one asked for my order. Then I recieved a sandwich that was on the driest bread ever made and came with no condiments which resulted in another 15 minutes while I waited for somone to give me a side of mustard. The enviroment in this horrible establishment is very cafeteria like. I felt like I was in high school again, however, my high school's food was at least edible and had some level of service. At one point I thought I was going to have to sacrafice the other half of my rock hard sandwhich to throw at the wait staff in order to get my condiments! How this place has survived so long in Columbus is beyond me. Anyone who thinks this place is good must have bellied up to the wine bar for a few hours before having to go through the agony of trying place an order for bland food. I would highly recommend walking straight past this restaurant when you are in Worthington. I paid $15 for a bad enviroment and a horrible sandwich, not worthy it at all.

    In search of a patio for brunch, my sights were set on La Chatelaine. The patio rests right alongside the bricks of historic downtown Worthington and features what appears to be 14 tables, facing east in the morning. My breakfast choice was the breakfast sandwich that featured sliced pork sausage, egg and Swiss. Though there were alternate options for a three toppings. The pastries here are always a temptation. The coffee is good, not amazing and my one tip for eating here is don't forget to grab silverware while you're ordering. It helps avoid an awkward situation where you lean over people attempting to order their food. All in all, a really good spot for a sunny Sunday morning meal.

    Losing it's luster. Had two dinners here and both were not very good! So I would skip dinner. Every year chocolate croissant has less chocolate. Seems like they are cutting costs!? Best thing there is the coffee!

    Poor excuse for quiche: tasteless crust and too much of it for the size of the pie, also skimpy on the filling. Definitely not worth the money or tastebuds!

    Went to La Chatelaine for breakfast yesterday morning. I haven't been to this places in years so I figured I'd give them a shot. The decor looks exactly the same as I remembered, the pastries looked very appetizing in the display case. I decided to go with the Breakfast Special (Eggs, Bacon, Bread and Potatoes). The customer service was great, they greeted me immediately and they were very knowledgeable. Breakfast is served cafeteria style. Potatoes 1-5=3. Eggs 1-5=2. Bread 1-5=5. Bacon 1-5=4. This would have been a 3 star review due to the lack of seasoning, but the customer service was great!!! (+1) I will definitely give them another shot to earn all 5 stars.

    My favorite place in the Colombus, OH area. I was in town 10 days and went to this place twice. It's reasonably priced, there's a decent glass of wine, the service was attentive and not obtrusive, and the food was delicious. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. The pastries are perfect. I did not get any sandwiches, and only went for an early dinner, FYI. Those were the most appealing items on the menu, from what i remember. It was probably one of the best parts of my business trip, that year, and I remember it fondly.

    Pastries and soups are good. Coffee very strong. Dinner menu limited and I've never liked any of the night entrees. If you're in the mood for a breakfast sweet and coffee it's good to go. The baguettes are excellent.

    If you've been to France before, you're going to want to spend every Saturday morning in this space trying to recall those memories of baguettes, croissants, and espresso served up with a nice book or mate. With that comes the same price points that you would find in France, though. The place still has a bit of a mom & pop feel to it, with the occasional cheesy memorabilia on the walls or the excessive use of plastic plants in the corners. The Croque Monseur's just look delightful- I had to settle on a quiche because of time and hunger. This is the type of place that anyone around Worthington would want to consider as their "regular spot". As far as culture goes, it is generally an older crowd of retirees or grandparents, but on occasion you'll spot a young couple settling in for a late breakfast or a single college student with a few books.

    I've been going to La Chatelaine for over 10 years. Granted the cafeteria style may be difficult to understand but once you use it, you appreciate how you can quickly order or take the time you need to decide without holding up the line. As far as food, I love the Croque Monsieur, Chocolate Chaud and always pick up at least one baguette. Their coffee is also strong and dark perfect with one of their numerous desserts, I'm a fan of the fruit tart or chocolate mousse. They are on the pricey side for a lunch style set up, but I truly appreciate the quality and dedication to French bistro style foods. This place is perfect for a cute lunch with a friend where they'll let you stay for hours to converse and refill on their coffee. Overall, every time I go home to visit Columbus, this place is a must stop.

    Although it is a bit more expensive than you might expect, j'adore La Chatelaine. :) I've loved everything I've ever ordered: for breakfast, hot chocolate and a chocolate croissant; for lunch, ceasar salad and turkey baguette, for dinner, french fries, three cheese macaroni. Its also the perfect place to meet a friend just for coffee. The service is great and the ambiance is warm (or is that the fireplace?). Waiter service only for dinner.

    Please understand that I never write reviews. I joined Yelp so that other people can understand how bad this place is. I truly don't think I have ever been so disappointed in a dining experience. I wanted to like La Chatelaine. Ten of my closest friends and I came here for what was supposed to be a nice start to my bachelorette party. First, we were seated next to a family with children (Ok, not a terrible offense... But when you have reservations from a group that says they are a bachelorette party and they come rolling in with favors and Victoria's Secret bags, is the logical choice to sit them next to parents with their elementary school aged children? Doubtful. Also the entire rest of the restaurant was empty at 7pm on a Friday night.). So, we felt that we had to be on our best behavior until that family left. The service was awful. I mean AWFUL. The guy had no clue what he was talking about or about the menu items and at $20 a plate, I would like to know what I am eating. The service was so epically slow that I opened my gifts in the downtime. Lo and behold, a GIANT cockroach was sitting right there next to one of my gifts. It was so big, I actually took a picture of the little guy. We called it to the waiter's attention. All he could do was smile and sweep it up, then pretend like nothing happened. When we finished eating our overpriced decent tasting meals, the dude took just shy of a decade to get our checks to us. We give our cards (which we all had ready and waiting for him to take in an effort for some sort of timeliness), and he takes them to the register (I assume). He comes back to the table with our cards, looks at one of the bills, says "oh crap" and walks away. He returns a minute later only to discover that he has misplaced two of the cards, with his only response being "Well, they have to be here someplace". Yes. All of this: no comped bill, no discount, nothing. I will never return to this restaurant. Ever. I would have rather eaten at Taco Bell.

    Just go! Close your eyes and point to anything and order and you've made a great choice. We've only ever gone for breakfast but we've gone many times. My husband is obsessed with their sausage! It's delicious and a great way to spend a morning. We would love if there was one closer to Westerville!!

  • Laura J.

    While the food I've had here has always been great (among my favorites are the turkey sandwich on baguette, tomato soup, quiche, and pastries), what I really come for is the rustic decor. I always enjoy my meal here, but my favorite thing is to meet a friend, sit and chat (I love it both inside and on the patio), and enjoy some good coffee and friendly service. This is not a cheap place, and I usually feel like I spent a bit too much, but when I leave I feel as relaxed as if I just had a mini vacation. And when compared to the cost of a trip to Europe to a similar cafe, it's definitely a bargain.

    I came here on a Yelp date with Janet L. this weekend, but I'm thinking this is a good place for an actual date. The dark wood and cozy feel is very inviting. We were here on a Saturday afternoon, and ended up chatting for almost three hours; the staff was friendly and didn't make us feel like we were overstaying our welcome, although I imagine that the vibe is a little more robust during lunch and dinner hours. We both had the fruit tarts, which were a little pricy at $4.25 each, but were SO GOOD that I got another one to go later. I also had a chai latte which looked very pretty, but was not very hot or strongly spiced, which may just be a personal preference. I would definitely order a different drink next time. Prices for meals are a bit above of my typical range, although they are pretty reasonable considering the area and type of restaurant ($10-18 for an entree).

    I have been here several times and am always very disappointed. Hopefully this review will remind me to stay away. I recently stopped for lunch.... I don't mind the counter service in theory. However, I found the guy handing out food to be very annoyed with everyone coming through the line when they needed some help deciding. This isn't the lunch line at high school: let's show a little pep. This would have been a 1 star review if it were noted for their excellent selection of teas, which they serve in a press, piping hot. The vegetable soup was intensely salty, and the veggies seemed canned. Perhaps the whole soup was canned. The pre-made sandwich was a single, thin slice of salami, on a buttered roll. Very uninspired. The decor seems very dated with the clunky 70's style chairs and cave-like ambiance. It feels more like an old bar in Milwaukee than a French cafe. I really need to remember not to visit La Chatelaine again.

    Double check your detailed receipt BEFORE you sit down to eat. Twice they have double charged me for bakery items. The first time I though maybe just an oversight and for $1.80 I wasn't going worry about it, but they did it to me again this past weekend. Paid for 2 Croissants, got 1. Both times it was a bakery item.

    A wonderful place that we frequented when living in the Worthington vicinity. Now that we live out of state, it is a rare treat and never disappoints. Today, had the simple combo lunch of cup of soup, small salad and small sandwich. Too late in the day for coffee, but would have enjoyed French roast with one of their fabulous macaroons!

  • Lesia C.

    The food is just okay. I had herb omelette and my husband had fathers day omelette which looked and tasted like mine except for it had meat. I also had a fruit bowl and croissant and 2 cups of coffee. We paid $27. Fruit wasnt ripe. All in all it was ok, but for that price I would expect a little bit more. It is a buffet style breakfast and if I had not been to the place before for dinner I would probably ever be back after having this breakfast.

    I love the atmosphere at La Chatelaine. It truly feels like stepping into a wonderful Paris cafe. But what I feel about it varies depending on what you're there for. If you're going for bread, pastries, cakes, or a little sweet fruit tart and some coffee, this is a five star, no brainer. Getting a cake from them for a special occasion is a a wonderful treat, and I'm a sucker for their chocolate mice filled with marzipan or custard. On the other hand, a trip for brunch left me a little less pleased. I do understand the bistro / semi-cafeteria style of service, and I didn't mind going through the line to pick out my meal, but it's never quite as nice as table service. I was also somewhat disappointed in the made to order breakfast sandwiches. I decided to go for a baguette with eggs, sausage, and cheese, and there was very little sausage and the eggs were overcooked. For $7.25, I really do expect better, and the excellent baguette couldn't quite save this. I think I'd like to go back for dinner - I have a feeling I could be bumping this review back up.

    My experience was so striking, I created a Yelp account just to write this review. My fiancee was headed to France to complete some requirements for her teaching degree. I live near Worthington, and i've always thought this restaurant might be a neat place to eat. We went one warm evening in May and sat outside. We both ordered from the specials menu, she got a pork and fig dish, I got steak and shallots. The menu specified both meats were raised in Ohio, as was the delicious beer I had. The menu was very specific that they cooked no meat less than medium-rare, so that's what I ordered. I received the steak not even medium, but truly well done, no pink remaining. I tried to eat it, and while tender, it just had all the juice and flavor cooked out of it. On a second go-around, the steak again was truly well done, not even medium! At $22 a dish, you would think they could afford someone who knew how to cook a steak! My fiancee's pork and figs were very tender and well prepared, but were really nothing special. I've made better in my kitchen.

    I came here on Saturday morning to kill time before the Worthington farmer's market opened. The outside of this place is absolutely stark beautiful, as well as the inside. Wooden awnings, clean floors, and everything looked tidy inside it's glass display case. I browsed the menu that was hung outside of the entrance door, but I really couldn't decide; also, it seemed a bit pricey for what was received. I chose the "Breakfast Special" which set me back $9.00, and all you received was about a 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 3" of a baguette, and a 1/2 cup of the potatoes, that came with coffee. It was served a-la-carte style, so you had to take your tray to a table of your choice; the outside patio was already filled, so I sat inside. I wasn't told what to do with your tray after eating, so I just left it on the table. I didn't really get a feel for the personalities in there, but they seemed annoyed and unfriendly. I am not sure if I will go back, or not. Sometimes businesses deserve second chances, but I don't think this place was worth it. It's definitely a beautiful and romantic place, but I wasn't impressed with service or food.

    At many times in my life I have read about characters in books, plays, biographies or seen them in movies and travelogues dining at Parisian sidewalk cafes. It seems nothing can be better. Many of those who report the joy of the Paris cafe are people who could ruin any pleasure for me, from Hemingway to Stein to Bourdain. Happily, I have had the joy of French food at a sidewalk cafe with better than any of those self absorbed companions. I sat with a dear friend, who shared my student activist days, on the patio at La Chatelaine yesterday for lunch. Normally our conversations jump from decades ago to what happened that day. Not this time. We only commented on the pure pleasure the food provided. Shoppers carried bread, flowers, and herbs purchased from the Farmers Market stalls along the quaint High Street of Worthington. The rich onion soup, the crusty bread, and the beautifully tossed Cesar salad reminded me that the art of cooking is knowing what is essential. I will never get to Paris nor to Jerry Falwell's heaven. I do not need to as I had another of this-is-as-good-as-it-gets moments on a Saturday at La Chatelaine.

    My wife and I made reservations for a special dinner menu the restaurant was offering in recognition of Bastille Day. It was a nightmare. First it took forever before anyone came to our table. It was not busy. I had to ask the manager for attention. The waiter was pleasant but remained slow. They were out of one of the specials. (My selection was the main reason I wanted to visit the restaurant) I made another selection and my wife ordered. Shortly the waiter returned to tell us they were out of my wife's selection as well. She reselected. Our food came out - finally. The waiter brought me vegetables instead of potatoes that I had ordered. I had finished my meal when he finally brought the potatoes and guess what - the potatoes were cold! Fitting ending for a terrible experience. The food tasted fine but the portions were small. The table next to us complained twice about something. I'm not sure what their issues were. We will never return!

    Great service along with a great atmosphere for catching up with old friends. They also make a great chocolate truffle/pudding. I was impressed with the taste and wanted more but had chosen to share with a friend, my mistake. The servers were also very nice. I am always impressed when the workers actually know French and have lived in France. It makes the place more authentic. I didn't order anything off the menu and their prices are a little more than I like to pay but bakery has some good food. They also have good coffee along with cold water to refresh oneself when sitting outside in 90 degrees. Their ice maker wasn't working at the soda machine but they made sure they had a bucket with ice in it beside the machine. I plan to go back one of these days and try more food than just the bakery food but usually I end up here for dessert instead of a meal.

    Le Chatelaine is one of those places I would never go if it weren't close to me. Everytime I go I am annoyed, then I forget, and then I think the next time will be different. No, it's always slightly crummy. As other yelpers have said, the inside decor is goofy and dated, and the food is sub-par. I have had some good dishes- a cheesy baked veggie lasgna stands out in my mind. The pastries are not good. They have that bland/chemical artifical taste, but I'm not sure how they're made. On the other hand, they have super cute little chocolate mice, and I love those. They also have a small, but interesting, wine and beer selection, including Chimay, and the outdoor patio is really lovely. My real issue with this place is the terrible service. Sometimes you order from the counter, and sometimes there is table service. It's not clear when this happens. Last time I was in, I saw table service, so I sat outside and flagged down a server, who told me very sarcastically and rudely that if all I wanted was a beer and a pastry, I had to go inside and order. Not cool.

  • Amber H.

    I definitely enjoyed my visit here. It was a beautiful evening and we sat on the patio, which definitely helped. It has a great, ALMOST European feel to it, with a soothing little water fountain and some French pop music playing in the background. The dinner menu was not all that impressive, I kept flipping it over looking for more but every time there was only the drinks list..... But I found out later that they also serve lunch and breakfast, so I guess they do have a bit of variety there. Though I cannot speak for the authenticity, not being very familiar with french cuisine, it was very good. The pre-dinner bread and oil is fantastic, and [at least the night I was there] the service was VERY fast. I was apparently feeling especially American that day and ordered the dish that was basically macaroni and cheese, but it was very good macaroni and cheese. The $12 price tag was not too bad considering you get the bread, a side, and a huge portion. There were not really any cheaper options though, so keep that in mind. The staff is very friendly, It was a pleasant experience overall, it would just be nice with a bit more variety on the menu, both food and price-wise.

    Desiring a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning in Columbus is always a hit-or-miss affair. Sure there is the wonderful ZenCha, overrated yet good Northstar, obnoxiously crowded and scenester dominated Banana Bean, or downright awful Tee-Jays, First Watch, or Bob Evans. Sure I could pop in for a bagel at Panera or Einstein, but sometimes a little variety is good. Being out at the Worthington Farmer's market and having heard good things, we opted for La Chatelaine. Set up as a quaint French bistro, yet with a kitchen full of highschool guys and servers/cashiers no older than sixteen I must say I rather doubt the cullinary expertise of the staff. All things being equal, though, the servers did a good job of describing items and filling orders, so I cannot complain. Between the two of us we ordered two coffees, a half baguette, a croissant, a chicken and olive quiche, a chocolate mouse, and a pistacchio croissant. Standouts included the fantastic pistacchio croissant and the elegant yet delicious chocolate mouse as well as the stupendous french caramel coffee with unlimited refills. Lowlights were the lack of Nutella, a MUST at any legit french bistro (or American equivalents such as Bouchon,) high prices for quality/portion ($25 for the breakfast,) and the pre-prepared nature of the quiche which simply made the crust too dry by the time we arrived at 10am. In reality, I have to say I enjoyed the meal but believe that it was overpriced. On future visits I'd certainly opt for a chocolate mouse or berry tarte and coffee, but my search for a good French bistro in Columbus will have to continue. Not bad, but not "great" either.

    Service was great......Marco is always there greeting you with a smile and a bonjour. We've only had breakfast here but so far it's been great. Omlets light and fresh, hot chocoloate taste like cocao and not sugar hersheys/ swiss (i'm a Mormon so i don't know what the coffee is like), and the pastries are great! Patio is awsome for an early morning breakfast.

    This place is a must-stop every time I come home to Columbus. It has a very inviting and quaint atmosphere, mimicking something you'd see in France. I've been there both for lunch and for pastries. I must say, their Napoleon is the tastiest thing I've ever had in my life, and that's what I go back for every time I am home. They fill theirs with a custard type filling that I cannot find anywhere else. I've tried Napoleons elsewhere, to include the bakery inside the Paris hotel in Vegas and it's STILL not as good (everyone else seems to use cream filling, and they use the custard which is the best part). This place is AWESOME for a date!

    Definitely a fan of the La Chatelaine restuarants. Met up with a group for coffee & breakfast before heading out for the day. The staff have always been pleasant to me and very helpful when having trouble selecting from the menu. Had coffee and a quiche loraine this morning. quiche was flakey and just what I wanted. I love the outdoor seating on such a beautiful day when I visited. Thumbs up!

    I don't understand the appeal of this chain restaurant. I food is plain, typically dry and has little flavor. The clientele is always rich old people the 4-5 times I have stopped in. The initial service is cafeteria style. (You have a tray and slide it along picking out items you want and slowing making your credit card company happier and happier.) I have not had the croissants, but the reviews here say they are excellent. The sandwiches are basic, but not in a good way. They remind me of something my grandmother would make to be fancy, but falls flat. This review got an extra star for the Tomato basil soup, which is terrific. I think the prices are incredibly steep. I have had food at many other places that was so much better, for so much more reasonable rates. The patio is nice, but if you are going here thinking it is like Sage Bistro, you will be letdown. I have not had a lot of things from the bakery. I am hoping this is where the place shines.

    I never write a second review for a place, so this is specail! I just popped in real quick to grab a baguette for dinner. I asked for it at the counter without seeing they were out, and instead of saying "sorry we're out" I hear "hang on, let me go make you one"....I offered to take one of the ones already made, but he insisted. What a great buisness! It really pays to be a regular here!

    Bad Service--Bad Food--Believe me-this is the farthest thing from a French Bistro. Having spent time in Paris, I never tasted such sub par food or had a manager actually seem annoyed that I questioned why the watery vegetable soup was devoid of vegetables. The only thing the place has going for it is location--being in the center of Worthington during the Saturday Worthington market--otherwise it would definitely not be crowded. One visit was enough for me--no return.

    My husband and I received from a friend, a $20 gift certificate she won here from a raffle. Thank goodness we only had to shell out an extra $10 on top of that or I would be furious. $30 for what we had is pitiful. The way you move through the cafeteria lunch line was corny, and he people are not helpful or pleasant. I got a cinnamon raisin croissant (cinnamon roll) which was so hard I could barely pull it apart and could barely chew it. I returned it for one that was only slightly softer. I also got an omlet that was good, but not great. They recommended their wheat bread when I asked what my choice of bread was with my eggs. It was very hard, no soft center. My mouth is torn up on the inside from trying to eat it. Hmmm, maybe I don't understand French food, but it was stale. They claim to make their own, so It should have been fabulous. My husband had an omlet that he said was good, I think it had salmon and cream cheese. He also had an apple fritter that was also stale. If this is what French food is supposed to be like, I HATE FRENCH FOOD. I will never go back.

    A great cafe. We mainly go here for soup (love the creamy tomato basil), salad, pastries and wine. The food selection is relatively simple, but almost everything we've had has been well made and enjoyable. The variety and quality of the wines and pastries make it particularly stand out from most Columbus restaurants in its price range. We particularly enjoy coming in on the weekend when we have the time to enjoy a couple glasses of wine, a small meal and a pastry dessert. It's not the cheapest dining choice, but I feel the prices are reasonable given the quality of the food and service. I'm not a fan of the weekday buffet lunch. I am a fan of soup and bread to go as a quick dinner.

  • Natasha L.

    Oui, I love French food. I lived in France for a while, and find their croissants are the best in town - most authentically French. The tarts and pastries are also tasty. I tend to order the tomato basil soup; the quiche lorraine is fine - heavy flavor, nice on a chilly day. The other thing I like about this spot: their summer patio. A great place to enjoy with a real cafe feel. Be sure to enjoy it during a farmer's market! Overall, it's not the best french you'll ever have, but is affordable and yummy, a cozy spot when you need that certain je ne sais quoi - a manger.

    This place is cute, with a very French feel. Their desserts are as beautiful as they are delicious. Prices are reasonable, and lunches are scrumptious. I had a salad, soup and half croissant sandwich for about $7. It's a great place to take clients, and you can sit outside. High street can be kind of noisy, but other than that, it's great! Quality coffee as well. I'm hoping to hit them up one evening to see what the wine is like.

    I'd choose the baguette and maybe a cup of coffee here, although I probably wouldn't go again. We had lunch - a veggie sandwich for me and french onion soup and sandwich for my husband, followed by a napoleon dessert. Everything was borderline terrible. Veggie sandwiches can be hit or miss (usually a miss) and my sandwich maintained that 'miss' reputation; I'm going to stop ordering veggie sandwiches altogether I think. Anyway, the sandwich had an unappetizing, dry and tasteless combo of uncooked and unseasoned sweet peppers and a sprinkling of lettuce, and the french onion soup came out as broth with a few onions and swiss cheese on the side (which was odd). The french fries were decent. The napoleon wasn't fresh and after I found a hair in it (that wasn't mine!), I was done. We've had true french food in big cities as well as on French occupied turf, and this restaurant was a sore representation. The only reason I didn't give it a one star is because the service was good and the baguette was tasty.

    When I first moved to Worthington, I frequented La Chatelaine regularly for the desserts and soup and to sit outside on the lovely patio. I quite like the general ambiance and food, but feel it's a bit overpriced for what you get. After living in France for a while, I've come to realize this is authentic (albeit simple) French cuisine... Caesar salads, Croque Madames and Monsieurs, tarts, baguettes and French onion soup. The flavors are good, but not great. The desserts rock! I still like to come here on occassion. The patio remains one of my favorite outdoor drinking spots in Columbus, It's quiet and unlike so many other patios, overlooks a more scenic part of High Street in Olde Worthington. This location is a little different than the La Chatelaine closer to me, and I enjoy the formal rustic ambiance the restaurant here takes on during dinner time. I still can't say the food is any better here than at other locations. It's good. Not great. But who needs Caesar Salad and Croque Madams? They carry their signature fabulous baguettes, crusty peasant breads and pastries. That alone is enough to get me in the door on a regular basis. If you struggle to find parking on High Street, a large, free, public lot is located behind the building, accessible from New England.

    I would love to know why people rave about this place. Yeah, the setting is cool and the historic building is interesting, but in my two visits, I left hungry after not having any desire to finish my food. I mean, when you pay a premium for a croissant breakfast sandwich, you don't expect the croissant to be Sahara-dry, and the sausage and eggs to be flavorless. I'm having trouble thinking of a worse breakfast sandwich I've eaten in my life, and that includes McDonald's. The coffee is bad, too. Fortunately, in my last visit, the Worthington Arts Festival was taking place right outside the door, so I could supplement my breakfast with some good food. La Chatelaine is basically a cafeteria. With the Worthington Inn, Old Bag of Nails, O'Ryans, etc., all within walking distance, there's no reason to come here.

    Nothing bad, nothing specific to say anything good. So if you are looking for some good bread and french pastries, try it out. On a nice day, there a patio area which is relaxing and quiet to take a break.

    I haven't tried their food but I did stop by for their bakery goods. We got an enclair (YUM!) and a chocolate croissant. I think we finished them both before even getting home. We were hoping to try some of their apple turnovers but we had to wait 15 minutes for them to reheat. (Reheating from the same day's batch so not as bad as it sounds). All their baked goods are made fresh everyday at the Chatelaine on Lane St. Then they deliver them and pop them in the oven. So if you're not going to the Lane St. location, try calling and asking if they have what you want. This way you won't have to wait 15 minutes for a croissant.

    This place may only be great at lunch or brunch. After reading the previous reviews, I was all set to have a great bistro dinner. I was very disappointed. I ordered the equivalent of a chicken pot pie (Vol au Vent de Poulet à la crème fraiche) and it was lacking in flavor and dry as a piece of parchment. My friend ordered the filet Mignon Sauce Béarnaise and Frites. The frites were from frozen potatoes not fresh and the filet looked like it fell off a truck. Aw, come on! The whole idea of a bistro is fresh. If you're not going to adhere to its true meaning, take it off your sign! The only redeeming quality of this restaurant is the dessert. The Chocolate mousse was so luscious I wanted to bathe in it. The decor is quite charming and the wine selection bears more research. This may have been great when it first opened but I would keep to the daylight hours and forget dinner. I'm sure they could do much better.

    Nice atmosphere. Nice patio. Friendly people. Good almond croissant, croissant and pan chocolat. Coffee is sadly mediocre. They had 3 kinds of reg. coffee and one decaf. I tried all 3 regular and they were all folgeresque. All in all, if you are going for the pastries I'd recommend.

    A great place to go for fast French food. Counter service is very fast (even through huge lines), ordering primarily from the pre-made items for breakfast and lunch, including fresh salads, soups (including the required "french" onion, but also other French countryside-inspired soups and stews) - served in breadbowl if desired (for a nominal charge), plus quiches, croissants, and sandwhiches like the aforementioned (and delicious) croque monsieur. The croques are usually only available at lunch time, and go fast, so make sure to get there EARLY. Dinner options also introduce one or two daily specials, again usually french countryside-style dishes - try the vol au vent if you can -- a creamy chicken stew-like dish served in a bread bowl. And if you're still hungry - well, they've got desserts for days - pastries, tortes, muffins, cookies and other treats, all baked fresh - the "Bakery" in the name isn't just for show!

  • Tracy S.

    La Chatelaine is probably the most likely place I'd become a local. I love stopping by in the afternoon for any kind of pastry - chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, fruit tart, anything, and a cup of coffee. It's simple but the baked goods are exceptional and the main attraction. I do find the lunches a little lacking, but aside from the calories and the long interval between preparation and actual eating time, I can't complain about a croque monsier. I'm less likely to dine here for dinner because of the simple approach that French food has in general, but that is not a fault of La Chatelaine.

    Best croissant in Columbus. I am picky about my croissant. I won't eat one unless it's really good. This is the ONLY place in Columbus that does a proper croissant, and that is what I get 9 times out of 10. I've also had their lunch special, which is fine, nothing amazing, but a half sandwich and bowl of soup for $7 or so. I also tried their happy hour for the first time last month and thought that was a good value. We got a cheese plate, the fries (which were killer and very belgian), and some sort of battered fried cheese (how can that not be good?). It was too much for two people, but at half price HH apps, it didnt' matter too much. They also bring out bread and butter. We had the signature martini, which was sweet, but very tasty. I had to pace myself as I wanted to drink it too quickly. I believe they were $4. I'd return for happy hour, and I will always return for the croissant. Oh, my dad who lives just a couple blocks from the arlington location always gets the blueberry muffin and likes that. It's more like a mini loaf. The ambience is pretty nice, it does have a slight european feel. PS. Oddly the next best croissant in Columbus is the frozen mini croissants from Trader Joe's. They aren't bad! You have to let them thaw/proof overnight and bake them in the morning. Pretty good, pretty pretty good.

    Worst restaurant in Columbus. The service is horrible. I stood there for 15 minutes while no one asked for my order. Then I recieved a sandwich that was on the driest bread ever made and came with no condiments which resulted in another 15 minutes while I waited for somone to give me a side of mustard. The enviroment in this horrible establishment is very cafeteria like. I felt like I was in high school again, however, my high school's food was at least edible and had some level of service. At one point I thought I was going to have to sacrafice the other half of my rock hard sandwhich to throw at the wait staff in order to get my condiments! How this place has survived so long in Columbus is beyond me. Anyone who thinks this place is good must have bellied up to the wine bar for a few hours before having to go through the agony of trying place an order for bland food. I would highly recommend walking straight past this restaurant when you are in Worthington. I paid $15 for a bad enviroment and a horrible sandwich, not worthy it at all.

    Poor excuse for quiche: tasteless crust and too much of it for the size of the pie, also skimpy on the filling. Definitely not worth the money or tastebuds!

    Oh gosh, no way. I will never, ever go here again. There were way too many negitives to outweigh the minimal positives. For ease of reading, I'll number them. Cons: 1. Both my sister and my father got the macaroni and cheese and despite the menu making it appear as though the cheese sauce is homemade, it definitely tastes like Kraft. My father barely touched it and the waiter didn't even notice. 2. I ordered the Lobster Bisque because the waiter told me it was very good. I kid you not, they probably brought me no more than half a cup (measuring cup) of bisque. For $12 that was the totality of what I got. That's appalling given the price and that the meat was very rubbery, possibly indicating that it had been frozen. 3. The table they sat us at was dirty and had not been wiped off. And two of our forks were visibly dirty. 4. They brought out enough bread for a table of 6 people but only gave us two butter pats. What kind of math is that? Pros: 1. The rabbit ragout was excellent, both in flavor and cook. 2. The tomato basil soup was also very good, but we got a very small portion for the money (in my opinion). As you can see, there is really no reason to visit this restaurant. The chances of picking something that is actually good instead of overpriced or fake tasting is very small. Chances are you're more likely to be disapointed then you are to be happy.

    We went here this morning, and I was pretty impressed. They had some good specials, so my girlfriend and I took advantage of those. We both got entrees off the specials menu and split them. The apple and brie omelette and the pumpkin french toast. I thought the omelette was good, but it could have used more brie to balance out the onions and apples. The pumpkin FT were great, and I imagine they are very popular this time of year. La Chatelaine is a bit pricey for what we got. The food did seem high quality, but I didn't feel too full afterward. Also, I found it a bit hectic, waiting in line, and my girlfriend was confused on where to order her latte. A big strength of the place is the patio, and it happened to be a gorgeous morning.

    I went to Belgium on a trip a few years ago. I remember eating a Croque Monseur or Croque Madame every day of that trip. I've been unable to duplicate the experience at home, so I was excited to see a French bakery place around. I visited for a late breakfast with my son after a visit to his doctor. I lined up at the counter to get my sandwich, was a little disappointed with it. Pre-made and sitting on a hot plate, small, and expensive. Not un-tasty, it was very good, but didn't square with my memories from Belgium. I may return to give this place another shot, but color me pretty unimpressed for the time being.

    In search of a patio for brunch, my sights were set on La Chatelaine. The patio rests right alongside the bricks of historic downtown Worthington and features what appears to be 14 tables, facing east in the morning. My breakfast choice was the breakfast sandwich that featured sliced pork sausage, egg and Swiss. Though there were alternate options for a three toppings. The pastries here are always a temptation. The coffee is good, not amazing and my one tip for eating here is don't forget to grab silverware while you're ordering. It helps avoid an awkward situation where you lean over people attempting to order their food. All in all, a really good spot for a sunny Sunday morning meal.

  • Keith F.

    I really like this place as a breakfast joint. The breakfast sandwiches, though pricey, are very good. They did raise the price to $10 but it does come with a drink. The croissant is probably the best I've had anywhere ever. I get my sandwich with Swiss cheese, bacon, and make sure you ask for lettuce and tomato is you so choose. The pastries are almost like lacquered replicas. It is a really neat place and a great place to take the wife for breakfast after dropping the kids at school. The macaroons are very good also! Stop by but realize it's not a cheap breakfast but I think this would appeal to most people!

    The La Chatelaine is a French bakery and a bistro rolled into one. I've only ever eaten breakfast and after-dinner desserts at La Chatelaine, so my review will be focuses on those aspects of this restaurant. I live much closer to the La Chatelaine on Lane Avenue, so I usually go to that one, but made the trek out to this one in Worthington yesterday to meet with family for a Sunday breakfast. In comparison to the one in Upper Arlington, this La Chatelaine in Worthington seems much larger with more seats. Unfortunately, parking space is relatively limited at both locations. I just got back from a trip to Paris last week, and if you were to compare them to actual Parisian bakeries, La Chatelaine might only be 3 stars. But here in Columbus, this is probably as good as you're going to find. Their breads, quiche, and sandwiches are all pretty good. Their beignets are only so-so. Their cakes are absolutely delicious and gorgeous. And their coffees are excellent (with free refills)-- Their Columbian French Roast is one of my favorites in town. I wouldn't necessarily want to eat breakfast here every day, but I think it's a nice treat every now and then.

    I have been to this location once, for baked goods. The baked goods were fresh tasting and packaged well for the travel home. They were a bit pricier than grocery store prices, but they have many unique desserts (my son loves the chocolate mouse--not mousse) and they're all worth the splurge! Very cozy atmosphere, love the decor.

    A co-worker had recommended this establishment. When I walked in, it felt like walking into Grandma's kitchen. For the first time visitor, the staff was friendly, and the service was helpful. A friend and I ordered fruit tarts, which were not too sweet and very fresh. I also had a cappuccino with a great foam. I definitely need to return again for the fresh lemonade.

    OMG!! Where do I begin. I use to be a 2 time a weeker here but this place has just gone down hill so much! The food WAS great. The tall, slender French gentleman that owned it knew what he was doing. I don't know if he sold it but it's been awhile since I've seen him and it's been about that same time since this place was good. Let's start with my visit a few days ago. I ordered a cup of the French onion and a Croque-Monsieur. Now, I studied French food under Jacques Pépin so I think I know French food pretty well. So the Croque-Monsieur was pretty parched. I started to cut into it and it was rock solid. I went up to the front to ask for a fresher one and the girl replied "we won't have anymore ready for an hour (seriously, it's takes an hour to make a grilled ham and cheese sandwich? Oh, it's because you want them burnt, right?) Our oven that we usually cook them in broke down so these got a little burnt in the other oven. They always look like this so maybe you can try something else" I looked at what else they had and just decided on a better looking Croque-Monsieur. I told her they never look like this as I get a one every time I come in and she continued to argue with me that they are basically always burnt. Classic! Now during this time, Jen (who use to work at the hills market) who I'm pretty sure is some type of manger walks by and witnesses this exchange and does nothing about it! I then cut into that one and again it was rock solid. What kills me is the girl said these were a little burnt due to a different oven buttttttttt they always look like this. Hmmmmm, so you deliberately want to serve burnt food?! Lastly, French onion soup is probably my all time favorite soup and I would consider myself a French onion soup connoisseur. Their soup use to be very "brothy" and spot on for true French onion. The current soup is thicker which leads me to believe they source it out and do not make it in house anymore. Whenever the viscosity of a broth based soup is thicker and not the consistency of broth it's due to preservatives added by the manufacturer. I could be wrong, but when a local restaurant did the same with their french onion I asked the manager about my suspicions and I was right. I just can't believe how bad this place is and how rude the little red head behind the counter was. I mean seriously, she just kept arguing with me that this burnt Croque-Monsieur is how they are suppose to be! UNBELIEVEABLE! By the way, look at pics of the other locations Croque-Monsieurs and you will see that they don't ALWAYS look like that! La Chat use to be my favorite breakfast spot to sit in the middle room by the fire when its snowing outside. Point is, the customer service is terrible and the food is even worse.

    Maybe I am just spoiled from living in France for 15 years but I was disspointed! It was very expensive, I had a croissant, eclaire and fruit tart and paid $20, YIKES! The croissant was not great, the eclaire cold and hard, but the fruit tart was very good! Good tart crust, like a cookie and fresh fruit on it! In all I would not be back just to eat a tiny tart for $7!

    627 High St Worthington, OH (614) 848-6711 I wandered into La Chatelaine Bistro last evening tired, hungry and knowing nothing about the place. I was greeted warmly in English and French and handed a menu (in case I decided to stay) The Tables were adorned with fragrant peonies. The menu had many appetizers, soups and salads as well as entrees to choose from. Some were called "petits plats" (small plates) but the portions looked as generous as they were delicious. After consternation I chose the Coq-qu-vin and requested a substitution of a vegetable de jour over the suggested mushrooms. I choose the Tomato Basil soup to start with a peachy sparkling wine AVIVE nicely priced from Salon de Provence, France. It was light and enlivening a perfect spring aperitif. The Coq-Au Vin was appealing and served with crisp potatoes and a nice array of spring veggies. I finished with a café au lait and a delightful chocolate Mousse. The staff was so kind and the menu so alluring I will be sure to make a return trip.

    I stopped in here on a whim on the suggestion of a woman at church. It was amazing, and I was not prepared haha. There's a giant pastry case (and they're very well priced) and amazing coffee. I happened to come on a Sunday so there was a big brunch spread that smelled amazing, but I ended up just getting a blue berry pastry and some macaroons. Will definitely be back to sample more treats! Also, it was super cool to hear the pastry guy speaking French with customers--it was legit like I stepped out of Ohio and into Paris.

    The hubby and I stopped here for a late Sunday afternoon lunch. It wasn't busy at the time, but you could tell they had been as a fair amount of tables had not been bused. If this review was based on service alone, I'd give it 5 stars. The staff behind the counter was great! They were very helpful in guiding us through our selections. We wanted to keep it simple so we both ordered bowls of soup. Tomato basil for me, French onion for the Hubs. For a dollar extra each, we added the cheese and croutons offered. Both soups were fresh, tasty and delicious - though my soup was rich enough and didn't really need the addition of cheese. Oh, lest I forget! You also get your choice if bread with your soup. I chose the sourdough. My husband chose the baguette. They were nice and crusty on the outside, with tender interiors. Overall, we had a good experience and will come back to try dinner.

    If you've been to France before, you're going to want to spend every Saturday morning in this space trying to recall those memories of baguettes, croissants, and espresso served up with a nice book or mate. With that comes the same price points that you would find in France, though. The place still has a bit of a mom & pop feel to it, with the occasional cheesy memorabilia on the walls or the excessive use of plastic plants in the corners. The Croque Monseur's just look delightful- I had to settle on a quiche because of time and hunger. This is the type of place that anyone around Worthington would want to consider as their "regular spot". As far as culture goes, it is generally an older crowd of retirees or grandparents, but on occasion you'll spot a young couple settling in for a late breakfast or a single college student with a few books.

    Please understand that I never write reviews. I joined Yelp so that other people can understand how bad this place is. I truly don't think I have ever been so disappointed in a dining experience. I wanted to like La Chatelaine. Ten of my closest friends and I came here for what was supposed to be a nice start to my bachelorette party. First, we were seated next to a family with children (Ok, not a terrible offense... But when you have reservations from a group that says they are a bachelorette party and they come rolling in with favors and Victoria's Secret bags, is the logical choice to sit them next to parents with their elementary school aged children? Doubtful. Also the entire rest of the restaurant was empty at 7pm on a Friday night.). So, we felt that we had to be on our best behavior until that family left. The service was awful. I mean AWFUL. The guy had no clue what he was talking about or about the menu items and at $20 a plate, I would like to know what I am eating. The service was so epically slow that I opened my gifts in the downtime. Lo and behold, a GIANT cockroach was sitting right there next to one of my gifts. It was so big, I actually took a picture of the little guy. We called it to the waiter's attention. All he could do was smile and sweep it up, then pretend like nothing happened. When we finished eating our overpriced decent tasting meals, the dude took just shy of a decade to get our checks to us. We give our cards (which we all had ready and waiting for him to take in an effort for some sort of timeliness), and he takes them to the register (I assume). He comes back to the table with our cards, looks at one of the bills, says "oh crap" and walks away. He returns a minute later only to discover that he has misplaced two of the cards, with his only response being "Well, they have to be here someplace". Yes. All of this: no comped bill, no discount, nothing. I will never return to this restaurant. Ever. I would have rather eaten at Taco Bell.

    Although it is a bit more expensive than you might expect, j'adore La Chatelaine. :) I've loved everything I've ever ordered: for breakfast, hot chocolate and a chocolate croissant; for lunch, ceasar salad and turkey baguette, for dinner, french fries, three cheese macaroni. Its also the perfect place to meet a friend just for coffee. The service is great and the ambiance is warm (or is that the fireplace?). Waiter service only for dinner.

    I came here on a Yelp date with Janet L. this weekend, but I'm thinking this is a good place for an actual date. The dark wood and cozy feel is very inviting. We were here on a Saturday afternoon, and ended up chatting for almost three hours; the staff was friendly and didn't make us feel like we were overstaying our welcome, although I imagine that the vibe is a little more robust during lunch and dinner hours. We both had the fruit tarts, which were a little pricy at $4.25 each, but were SO GOOD that I got another one to go later. I also had a chai latte which looked very pretty, but was not very hot or strongly spiced, which may just be a personal preference. I would definitely order a different drink next time. Prices for meals are a bit above of my typical range, although they are pretty reasonable considering the area and type of restaurant ($10-18 for an entree).

    I have been here several times and am always very disappointed. Hopefully this review will remind me to stay away. I recently stopped for lunch.... I don't mind the counter service in theory. However, I found the guy handing out food to be very annoyed with everyone coming through the line when they needed some help deciding. This isn't the lunch line at high school: let's show a little pep. This would have been a 1 star review if it were noted for their excellent selection of teas, which they serve in a press, piping hot. The vegetable soup was intensely salty, and the veggies seemed canned. Perhaps the whole soup was canned. The pre-made sandwich was a single, thin slice of salami, on a buttered roll. Very uninspired. The decor seems very dated with the clunky 70's style chairs and cave-like ambiance. It feels more like an old bar in Milwaukee than a French cafe. I really need to remember not to visit La Chatelaine again.

    Double check your detailed receipt BEFORE you sit down to eat. Twice they have double charged me for bakery items. The first time I though maybe just an oversight and for $1.80 I wasn't going worry about it, but they did it to me again this past weekend. Paid for 2 Croissants, got 1. Both times it was a bakery item.

    A wonderful place that we frequented when living in the Worthington vicinity. Now that we live out of state, it is a rare treat and never disappoints.

    I love the atmosphere at La Chatelaine. It truly feels like stepping into a wonderful Paris cafe. But what I feel about it varies depending on what you're there for. If you're going for bread, pastries, cakes, or a little sweet fruit tart and some coffee, this is a five star, no brainer. Getting a cake from them for a special occasion is a a wonderful treat, and I'm a sucker for their chocolate mice filled with marzipan or custard. On the other hand, a trip for brunch left me a little less pleased. I do understand the bistro / semi-cafeteria style of service, and I didn't mind going through the line to pick out my meal, but it's never quite as nice as table service. I was also somewhat disappointed in the made to order breakfast sandwiches. I decided to go for a baguette with eggs, sausage, and cheese, and there was very little sausage and the eggs were overcooked. For $7.25, I really do expect better, and the excellent baguette couldn't quite save this. I think I'd like to go back for dinner - I have a feeling I could be bumping this review back up.

    Le Chatelaine is one of those places I would never go if it weren't close to me. Everytime I go I am annoyed, then I forget, and then I think the next time will be different. No, it's always slightly crummy. As other yelpers have said, the inside decor is goofy and dated, and the food is sub-par. I have had some good dishes- a cheesy baked veggie lasgna stands out in my mind. The pastries are not good. They have that bland/chemical artifical taste, but I'm not sure how they're made. On the other hand, they have super cute little chocolate mice, and I love those. They also have a small, but interesting, wine and beer selection, including Chimay, and the outdoor patio is really lovely. My real issue with this place is the terrible service. Sometimes you order from the counter, and sometimes there is table service. It's not clear when this happens. Last time I was in, I saw table service, so I sat outside and flagged down a server, who told me very sarcastically and rudely that if all I wanted was a beer and a pastry, I had to go inside and order. Not cool.

    I've been going to La Chatelaine for over 10 years. Granted the cafeteria style may be difficult to understand but once you use it, you appreciate how you can quickly order or take the time you need to decide without holding up the line. As far as food, I love the Croque Monsieur, Chocolate Chaud and always pick up at least one baguette. Their coffee is also strong and dark perfect with one of their numerous desserts, I'm a fan of the fruit tart or chocolate mousse. They are on the pricey side for a lunch style set up, but I truly appreciate the quality and dedication to French bistro style foods. This place is perfect for a cute lunch with a friend where they'll let you stay for hours to converse and refill on their coffee. Overall, every time I go home to visit Columbus, this place is a must stop.

    My experience was so striking, I created a Yelp account just to write this review. My fiancee was headed to France to complete some requirements for her teaching degree. I live near Worthington, and i've always thought this restaurant might be a neat place to eat. We went one warm evening in May and sat outside. We both ordered from the specials menu, she got a pork and fig dish, I got steak and shallots. The menu specified both meats were raised in Ohio, as was the delicious beer I had. The menu was very specific that they cooked no meat less than medium-rare, so that's what I ordered. I received the steak not even medium, but truly well done, no pink remaining. I tried to eat it, and while tender, it just had all the juice and flavor cooked out of it. On a second go-around, the steak again was truly well done, not even medium! At $22 a dish, you would think they could afford someone who knew how to cook a steak! My fiancee's pork and figs were very tender and well prepared, but were really nothing special. I've made better in my kitchen.

    I came here on Saturday morning to kill time before the Worthington farmer's market opened. The outside of this place is absolutely stark beautiful, as well as the inside. Wooden awnings, clean floors, and everything looked tidy inside it's glass display case. I browsed the menu that was hung outside of the entrance door, but I really couldn't decide; also, it seemed a bit pricey for what was received. I chose the "Breakfast Special" which set me back $9.00, and all you received was about a 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 3" of a baguette, and a 1/2 cup of the potatoes, that came with coffee. It was served a-la-carte style, so you had to take your tray to a table of your choice; the outside patio was already filled, so I sat inside. I wasn't told what to do with your tray after eating, so I just left it on the table. I didn't really get a feel for the personalities in there, but they seemed annoyed and unfriendly. I am not sure if I will go back, or not. Sometimes businesses deserve second chances, but I don't think this place was worth it. It's definitely a beautiful and romantic place, but I wasn't impressed with service or food.

    Losing it's luster. Had two dinners here and both were not very good! So I would skip dinner. Every year chocolate croissant has less chocolate. Seems like they are cutting costs!? Best thing there is the coffee!

    Poor excuse for quiche: tasteless crust and too much of it for the size of the pie, also skimpy on the filling. Definitely not worth the money or tastebuds!

  • Nicole B.

    This place is a must-stop every time I come home to Columbus. It has a very inviting and quaint atmosphere, mimicking something you'd see in France. I've been there both for lunch and for pastries. I must say, their Napoleon is the tastiest thing I've ever had in my life, and that's what I go back for every time I am home. They fill theirs with a custard type filling that I cannot find anywhere else. I've tried Napoleons elsewhere, to include the bakery inside the Paris hotel in Vegas and it's STILL not as good (everyone else seems to use cream filling, and they use the custard which is the best part). This place is AWESOME for a date!

    The La Chatelaine is a French bakery and a bistro rolled into one. I've only ever eaten breakfast and after-dinner desserts at La Chatelaine, so my review will be focuses on those aspects of this restaurant. I live much closer to the La Chatelaine on Lane Avenue, so I usually go to that one, but made the trek out to this one in Worthington yesterday to meet with family for a Sunday breakfast. In comparison to the one in Upper Arlington, this La Chatelaine in Worthington seems much larger with more seats. Unfortunately, parking space is relatively limited at both locations. I just got back from a trip to Paris last week, and if you were to compare them to actual Parisian bakeries, La Chatelaine might only be 3 stars. But here in Columbus, this is probably as good as you're going to find. Their breads, quiche, and sandwiches are all pretty good. Their beignets are only so-so. Their cakes are absolutely delicious and gorgeous. And their coffees are excellent (with free refills)-- Their Columbian French Roast is one of my favorites in town. I wouldn't necessarily want to eat breakfast here every day, but I think it's a nice treat every now and then.

    I have been to this location once, for baked goods. The baked goods were fresh tasting and packaged well for the travel home. They were a bit pricier than grocery store prices, but they have many unique desserts (my son loves the chocolate mouse--not mousse) and they're all worth the splurge! Very cozy atmosphere, love the decor.

    Definitely a fan of the La Chatelaine restuarants. Met up with a group for coffee & breakfast before heading out for the day. The staff have always been pleasant to me and very helpful when having trouble selecting from the menu. Had coffee and a quiche loraine this morning. quiche was flakey and just what I wanted. I love the outdoor seating on such a beautiful day when I visited. Thumbs up!

    627 High St Worthington, OH (614) 848-6711 I wandered into La Chatelaine Bistro last evening tired, hungry and knowing nothing about the place. I was greeted warmly in English and French and handed a menu (in case I decided to stay) The Tables were adorned with fragrant peonies. The menu had many appetizers, soups and salads as well as entrees to choose from. Some were called "petits plats" (small plates) but the portions looked as generous as they were delicious. After consternation I chose the Coq-qu-vin and requested a substitution of a vegetable de jour over the suggested mushrooms. I choose the Tomato Basil soup to start with a peachy sparkling wine AVIVE nicely priced from Salon de Provence, France. It was light and enlivening a perfect spring aperitif. The Coq-Au Vin was appealing and served with crisp potatoes and a nice array of spring veggies. I finished with a café au lait and a delightful chocolate Mousse. The staff was so kind and the menu so alluring I will be sure to make a return trip.

    How dare you substitute rib eye steak for petit filet mignon and not even understand the difference! And the manager on duty tried to blame the waitress! It's the kitchens's fault. Not hers. The so-called manager is unbelievable! Never again for dinner at this place! Zero stars if possible....

    OMG!! Where do I begin. I use to be a 2 time a weeker here but this place has just gone down hill so much! The food WAS great. The tall, slender French gentleman that owned it knew what he was doing. I don't know if he sold it but it's been awhile since I've seen him and it's been about that same time since this place was good. Let's start with my visit a few days ago. I ordered a cup of the French onion and a Croque-Monsieur. Now, I studied French food under Jacques Pépin so I think I know French food pretty well. So the Croque-Monsieur was pretty parched. I started to cut into it and it was rock solid. I went up to the front to ask for a fresher one and the girl replied "we won't have anymore ready for an hour (seriously, it's takes an hour to make a grilled ham and cheese sandwich? Oh, it's because you want them burnt, right?) Our oven that we usually cook them in broke down so these got a little burnt in the other oven. They always look like this so maybe you can try something else" I looked at what else they had and just decided on a better looking Croque-Monsieur. I told her they never look like this as I get a one every time I come in and she continued to argue with me that they are basically always burnt. Classic! Now during this time, Jen (who use to work at the hills market) who I'm pretty sure is some type of manger walks by and witnesses this exchange and does nothing about it! I then cut into that one and again it was rock solid. What kills me is the girl said these were a little burnt due to a different oven buttttttttt they always look like this. Hmmmmm, so you deliberately want to serve burnt food?! Lastly, French onion soup is probably my all time favorite soup and I would consider myself a French onion soup connoisseur. Their soup use to be very "brothy" and spot on for true French onion. The current soup is thicker which leads me to believe they source it out and do not make it in house anymore. Whenever the viscosity of a broth based soup is thicker and not the consistency of broth it's due to preservatives added by the manufacturer. I could be wrong, but when a local restaurant did the same with their french onion I asked the manager about my suspicions and I was right. I just can't believe how bad this place is and how rude the little red head behind the counter was. I mean seriously, she just kept arguing with me that this burnt Croque-Monsieur is how they are suppose to be! UNBELIEVEABLE! By the way, look at pics of the other locations Croque-Monsieurs and you will see that they don't ALWAYS look like that! La Chat use to be my favorite breakfast spot to sit in the middle room by the fire when its snowing outside. Point is, the customer service is terrible and the food is even worse.

    I stopped in here on a whim on the suggestion of a woman at church. It was amazing, and I was not prepared haha. There's a giant pastry case (and they're very well priced) and amazing coffee. I happened to come on a Sunday so there was a big brunch spread that smelled amazing, but I ended up just getting a blue berry pastry and some macaroons. Will definitely be back to sample more treats! Also, it was super cool to hear the pastry guy speaking French with customers--it was legit like I stepped out of Ohio and into Paris.

    The hubby and I stopped here for a late Sunday afternoon lunch. It wasn't busy at the time, but you could tell they had been as a fair amount of tables had not been bused. If this review was based on service alone, I'd give it 5 stars. The staff behind the counter was great! They were very helpful in guiding us through our selections. We wanted to keep it simple so we both ordered bowls of soup. Tomato basil for me, French onion for the Hubs. For a dollar extra each, we added the cheese and croutons offered. Both soups were fresh, tasty and delicious - though my soup was rich enough and didn't really need the addition of cheese. Oh, lest I forget! You also get your choice if bread with your soup. I chose the sourdough. My husband chose the baguette. They were nice and crusty on the outside, with tender interiors. Overall, we had a good experience and will come back to try dinner.

    Oh gosh, no way. I will never, ever go here again. There were way too many negitives to outweigh the minimal positives. For ease of reading, I'll number them. Cons: 1. Both my sister and my father got the macaroni and cheese and despite the menu making it appear as though the cheese sauce is homemade, it definitely tastes like Kraft. My father barely touched it and the waiter didn't even notice. 2. I ordered the Lobster Bisque because the waiter told me it was very good. I kid you not, they probably brought me no more than half a cup (measuring cup) of bisque. For $12 that was the totality of what I got. That's appalling given the price and that the meat was very rubbery, possibly indicating that it had been frozen. 3. The table they sat us at was dirty and had not been wiped off. And two of our forks were visibly dirty. 4. They brought out enough bread for a table of 6 people but only gave us two butter pats. What kind of math is that? Pros: 1. The rabbit ragout was excellent, both in flavor and cook. 2. The tomato basil soup was also very good, but we got a very small portion for the money (in my opinion). As you can see, there is really no reason to visit this restaurant. The chances of picking something that is actually good instead of overpriced or fake tasting is very small. Chances are you're more likely to be disapointed then you are to be happy.

    We went here this morning, and I was pretty impressed. They had some good specials, so my girlfriend and I took advantage of those. We both got entrees off the specials menu and split them. The apple and brie omelette and the pumpkin french toast. I thought the omelette was good, but it could have used more brie to balance out the onions and apples. The pumpkin FT were great, and I imagine they are very popular this time of year. La Chatelaine is a bit pricey for what we got. The food did seem high quality, but I didn't feel too full afterward. Also, I found it a bit hectic, waiting in line, and my girlfriend was confused on where to order her latte. A big strength of the place is the patio, and it happened to be a gorgeous morning.

    Went to La Chatelaine for breakfast yesterday morning. I haven't been to this places in years so I figured I'd give them a shot. The decor looks exactly the same as I remembered, the pastries looked very appetizing in the display case. I decided to go with the Breakfast Special (Eggs, Bacon, Bread and Potatoes). The customer service was great, they greeted me immediately and they were very knowledgeable. Breakfast is served cafeteria style. Potatoes 1-5=3. Eggs 1-5=2. Bread 1-5=5. Bacon 1-5=4. This would have been a 3 star review due to the lack of seasoning, but the customer service was great!!! (+1) I will definitely give them another shot to earn all 5 stars.

    My favorite place in the Colombus, OH area. I was in town 10 days and went to this place twice. It's reasonably priced, there's a decent glass of wine, the service was attentive and not obtrusive, and the food was delicious. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. The pastries are perfect. I did not get any sandwiches, and only went for an early dinner, FYI. Those were the most appealing items on the menu, from what i remember. It was probably one of the best parts of my business trip, that year, and I remember it fondly.

    Pastries and soups are good. Coffee very strong. Dinner menu limited and I've never liked any of the night entrees. If you're in the mood for a breakfast sweet and coffee it's good to go. The baguettes are excellent.

  • Nathan O.

    If you've been to France before, you're going to want to spend every Saturday morning in this space trying to recall those memories of baguettes, croissants, and espresso served up with a nice book or mate. With that comes the same price points that you would find in France, though. The place still has a bit of a mom & pop feel to it, with the occasional cheesy memorabilia on the walls or the excessive use of plastic plants in the corners. The Croque Monseur's just look delightful- I had to settle on a quiche because of time and hunger. This is the type of place that anyone around Worthington would want to consider as their "regular spot". As far as culture goes, it is generally an older crowd of retirees or grandparents, but on occasion you'll spot a young couple settling in for a late breakfast or a single college student with a few books.

    Maybe I am just spoiled from living in France for 15 years but I was disspointed! It was very expensive, I had a croissant, eclaire and fruit tart and paid $20, YIKES! The croissant was not great, the eclaire cold and hard, but the fruit tart was very good! Good tart crust, like a cookie and fresh fruit on it! In all I would not be back just to eat a tiny tart for $7!

  • Tricia R.

    Please understand that I never write reviews. I joined Yelp so that other people can understand how bad this place is. I truly don't think I have ever been so disappointed in a dining experience. I wanted to like La Chatelaine. Ten of my closest friends and I came here for what was supposed to be a nice start to my bachelorette party. First, we were seated next to a family with children (Ok, not a terrible offense... But when you have reservations from a group that says they are a bachelorette party and they come rolling in with favors and Victoria's Secret bags, is the logical choice to sit them next to parents with their elementary school aged children? Doubtful. Also the entire rest of the restaurant was empty at 7pm on a Friday night.). So, we felt that we had to be on our best behavior until that family left. The service was awful. I mean AWFUL. The guy had no clue what he was talking about or about the menu items and at $20 a plate, I would like to know what I am eating. The service was so epically slow that I opened my gifts in the downtime. Lo and behold, a GIANT cockroach was sitting right there next to one of my gifts. It was so big, I actually took a picture of the little guy. We called it to the waiter's attention. All he could do was smile and sweep it up, then pretend like nothing happened. When we finished eating our overpriced decent tasting meals, the dude took just shy of a decade to get our checks to us. We give our cards (which we all had ready and waiting for him to take in an effort for some sort of timeliness), and he takes them to the register (I assume). He comes back to the table with our cards, looks at one of the bills, says "oh crap" and walks away. He returns a minute later only to discover that he has misplaced two of the cards, with his only response being "Well, they have to be here someplace". Yes. All of this: no comped bill, no discount, nothing. I will never return to this restaurant. Ever. I would have rather eaten at Taco Bell.

    Just go! Close your eyes and point to anything and order and you've made a great choice. We've only ever gone for breakfast but we've gone many times. My husband is obsessed with their sausage! It's delicious and a great way to spend a morning. We would love if there was one closer to Westerville!!

    Although it is a bit more expensive than you might expect, j'adore La Chatelaine. :) I've loved everything I've ever ordered: for breakfast, hot chocolate and a chocolate croissant; for lunch, ceasar salad and turkey baguette, for dinner, french fries, three cheese macaroni. Its also the perfect place to meet a friend just for coffee. The service is great and the ambiance is warm (or is that the fireplace?). Waiter service only for dinner.

  • Natasha L.

    Oui, I love French food. I lived in France for a while, and find their croissants are the best in town - most authentically French. The tarts and pastries are also tasty. I tend to order the tomato basil soup; the quiche lorraine is fine - heavy flavor, nice on a chilly day. The other thing I like about this spot: their summer patio. A great place to enjoy with a real cafe feel. Be sure to enjoy it during a farmer's market! Overall, it's not the best french you'll ever have, but is affordable and yummy, a cozy spot when you need that certain je ne sais quoi - a manger.

    I came here on a Yelp date with Janet L. this weekend, but I'm thinking this is a good place for an actual date. The dark wood and cozy feel is very inviting. We were here on a Saturday afternoon, and ended up chatting for almost three hours; the staff was friendly and didn't make us feel like we were overstaying our welcome, although I imagine that the vibe is a little more robust during lunch and dinner hours. We both had the fruit tarts, which were a little pricy at $4.25 each, but were SO GOOD that I got another one to go later. I also had a chai latte which looked very pretty, but was not very hot or strongly spiced, which may just be a personal preference. I would definitely order a different drink next time. Prices for meals are a bit above of my typical range, although they are pretty reasonable considering the area and type of restaurant ($10-18 for an entree).

  • Robert H.

    I have been here several times and am always very disappointed. Hopefully this review will remind me to stay away. I recently stopped for lunch.... I don't mind the counter service in theory. However, I found the guy handing out food to be very annoyed with everyone coming through the line when they needed some help deciding. This isn't the lunch line at high school: let's show a little pep. This would have been a 1 star review if it were noted for their excellent selection of teas, which they serve in a press, piping hot. The vegetable soup was intensely salty, and the veggies seemed canned. Perhaps the whole soup was canned. The pre-made sandwich was a single, thin slice of salami, on a buttered roll. Very uninspired. The decor seems very dated with the clunky 70's style chairs and cave-like ambiance. It feels more like an old bar in Milwaukee than a French cafe. I really need to remember not to visit La Chatelaine again.

    Double check your detailed receipt BEFORE you sit down to eat. Twice they have double charged me for bakery items. The first time I though maybe just an oversight and for $1.80 I wasn't going worry about it, but they did it to me again this past weekend. Paid for 2 Croissants, got 1. Both times it was a bakery item.

    A wonderful place that we frequented when living in the Worthington vicinity. Now that we live out of state, it is a rare treat and never disappoints. Today, had the simple combo lunch of cup of soup, small salad and small sandwich. Too late in the day for coffee, but would have enjoyed French roast with one of their fabulous macaroons!

    I went to Belgium on a trip a few years ago. I remember eating a Croque Monseur or Croque Madame every day of that trip. I've been unable to duplicate the experience at home, so I was excited to see a French bakery place around. I visited for a late breakfast with my son after a visit to his doctor. I lined up at the counter to get my sandwich, was a little disappointed with it. Pre-made and sitting on a hot plate, small, and expensive. Not un-tasty, it was very good, but didn't square with my memories from Belgium. I may return to give this place another shot, but color me pretty unimpressed for the time being.

    Le Chatelaine is one of those places I would never go if it weren't close to me. Everytime I go I am annoyed, then I forget, and then I think the next time will be different. No, it's always slightly crummy. As other yelpers have said, the inside decor is goofy and dated, and the food is sub-par. I have had some good dishes- a cheesy baked veggie lasgna stands out in my mind. The pastries are not good. They have that bland/chemical artifical taste, but I'm not sure how they're made. On the other hand, they have super cute little chocolate mice, and I love those. They also have a small, but interesting, wine and beer selection, including Chimay, and the outdoor patio is really lovely. My real issue with this place is the terrible service. Sometimes you order from the counter, and sometimes there is table service. It's not clear when this happens. Last time I was in, I saw table service, so I sat outside and flagged down a server, who told me very sarcastically and rudely that if all I wanted was a beer and a pastry, I had to go inside and order. Not cool.

    I've been going to La Chatelaine for over 10 years. Granted the cafeteria style may be difficult to understand but once you use it, you appreciate how you can quickly order or take the time you need to decide without holding up the line. As far as food, I love the Croque Monsieur, Chocolate Chaud and always pick up at least one baguette. Their coffee is also strong and dark perfect with one of their numerous desserts, I'm a fan of the fruit tart or chocolate mousse. They are on the pricey side for a lunch style set up, but I truly appreciate the quality and dedication to French bistro style foods. This place is perfect for a cute lunch with a friend where they'll let you stay for hours to converse and refill on their coffee. Overall, every time I go home to visit Columbus, this place is a must stop.

    In search of a patio for brunch, my sights were set on La Chatelaine. The patio rests right alongside the bricks of historic downtown Worthington and features what appears to be 14 tables, facing east in the morning. My breakfast choice was the breakfast sandwich that featured sliced pork sausage, egg and Swiss. Though there were alternate options for a three toppings. The pastries here are always a temptation. The coffee is good, not amazing and my one tip for eating here is don't forget to grab silverware while you're ordering. It helps avoid an awkward situation where you lean over people attempting to order their food. All in all, a really good spot for a sunny Sunday morning meal.

    I really like this place as a breakfast joint. The breakfast sandwiches, though pricey, are very good. They did raise the price to $10 but it does come with a drink. The croissant is probably the best I've had anywhere ever. I get my sandwich with Swiss cheese, bacon, and make sure you ask for lettuce and tomato is you so choose. The pastries are almost like lacquered replicas. It is a really neat place and a great place to take the wife for breakfast after dropping the kids at school. The macaroons are very good also! Stop by but realize it's not a cheap breakfast but I think this would appeal to most people!

    This place is cute, with a very French feel. Their desserts are as beautiful as they are delicious. Prices are reasonable, and lunches are scrumptious. I had a salad, soup and half croissant sandwich for about $7. It's a great place to take clients, and you can sit outside. High street can be kind of noisy, but other than that, it's great! Quality coffee as well. I'm hoping to hit them up one evening to see what the wine is like.

    My experience was so striking, I created a Yelp account just to write this review. My fiancee was headed to France to complete some requirements for her teaching degree. I live near Worthington, and i've always thought this restaurant might be a neat place to eat. We went one warm evening in May and sat outside. We both ordered from the specials menu, she got a pork and fig dish, I got steak and shallots. The menu specified both meats were raised in Ohio, as was the delicious beer I had. The menu was very specific that they cooked no meat less than medium-rare, so that's what I ordered. I received the steak not even medium, but truly well done, no pink remaining. I tried to eat it, and while tender, it just had all the juice and flavor cooked out of it. On a second go-around, the steak again was truly well done, not even medium! At $22 a dish, you would think they could afford someone who knew how to cook a steak! My fiancee's pork and figs were very tender and well prepared, but were really nothing special. I've made better in my kitchen.

    I came here on Saturday morning to kill time before the Worthington farmer's market opened. The outside of this place is absolutely stark beautiful, as well as the inside. Wooden awnings, clean floors, and everything looked tidy inside it's glass display case. I browsed the menu that was hung outside of the entrance door, but I really couldn't decide; also, it seemed a bit pricey for what was received. I chose the "Breakfast Special" which set me back $9.00, and all you received was about a 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 3" of a baguette, and a 1/2 cup of the potatoes, that came with coffee. It was served a-la-carte style, so you had to take your tray to a table of your choice; the outside patio was already filled, so I sat inside. I wasn't told what to do with your tray after eating, so I just left it on the table. I didn't really get a feel for the personalities in there, but they seemed annoyed and unfriendly. I am not sure if I will go back, or not. Sometimes businesses deserve second chances, but I don't think this place was worth it. It's definitely a beautiful and romantic place, but I wasn't impressed with service or food.

    After trying seventy percent of the menu over several visits with the family on Saturdays during the farmers market. I have come to the conclusion there is Nothing memorable here just average food and pastry..

    Had a lovely morning on their patio recently. The food was really great and the patio was perfect on a nice summer morning. Not sure why I haven't done this before because its on my list to visit again soon.

    At many times in my life I have read about characters in books, plays, biographies or seen them in movies and travelogues dining at Parisian sidewalk cafes. It seems nothing can be better. Many of those who report the joy of the Paris cafe are people who could ruin any pleasure for me, from Hemingway to Stein to Bourdain. Happily, I have had the joy of French food at a sidewalk cafe with better than any of those self absorbed companions. I sat with a dear friend, who shared my student activist days, on the patio at La Chatelaine yesterday for lunch. Normally our conversations jump from decades ago to what happened that day. Not this time. We only commented on the pure pleasure the food provided. Shoppers carried bread, flowers, and herbs purchased from the Farmers Market stalls along the quaint High Street of Worthington. The rich onion soup, the crusty bread, and the beautifully tossed Cesar salad reminded me that the art of cooking is knowing what is essential. I will never get to Paris nor to Jerry Falwell's heaven. I do not need to as I had another of this-is-as-good-as-it-gets moments on a Saturday at La Chatelaine.

    My wife and I made reservations for a special dinner menu the restaurant was offering in recognition of Bastille Day. It was a nightmare. First it took forever before anyone came to our table. It was not busy. I had to ask the manager for attention. The waiter was pleasant but remained slow. They were out of one of the specials. (My selection was the main reason I wanted to visit the restaurant) I made another selection and my wife ordered. Shortly the waiter returned to tell us they were out of my wife's selection as well. She reselected. Our food came out - finally. The waiter brought me vegetables instead of potatoes that I had ordered. I had finished my meal when he finally brought the potatoes and guess what - the potatoes were cold! Fitting ending for a terrible experience. The food tasted fine but the portions were small. The table next to us complained twice about something. I'm not sure what their issues were. We will never return!

    Great service along with a great atmosphere for catching up with old friends. They also make a great chocolate truffle/pudding. I was impressed with the taste and wanted more but had chosen to share with a friend, my mistake. The servers were also very nice. I am always impressed when the workers actually know French and have lived in France. It makes the place more authentic. I didn't order anything off the menu and their prices are a little more than I like to pay but bakery has some good food. They also have good coffee along with cold water to refresh oneself when sitting outside in 90 degrees. Their ice maker wasn't working at the soda machine but they made sure they had a bucket with ice in it beside the machine. I plan to go back one of these days and try more food than just the bakery food but usually I end up here for dessert instead of a meal.

    I definitely enjoyed my visit here. It was a beautiful evening and we sat on the patio, which definitely helped. It has a great, ALMOST European feel to it, with a soothing little water fountain and some French pop music playing in the background. The dinner menu was not all that impressive, I kept flipping it over looking for more but every time there was only the drinks list..... But I found out later that they also serve lunch and breakfast, so I guess they do have a bit of variety there. Though I cannot speak for the authenticity, not being very familiar with french cuisine, it was very good. The pre-dinner bread and oil is fantastic, and [at least the night I was there] the service was VERY fast. I was apparently feeling especially American that day and ordered the dish that was basically macaroni and cheese, but it was very good macaroni and cheese. The $12 price tag was not too bad considering you get the bread, a side, and a huge portion. There were not really any cheaper options though, so keep that in mind. The staff is very friendly, It was a pleasant experience overall, it would just be nice with a bit more variety on the menu, both food and price-wise.

    Desiring a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning in Columbus is always a hit-or-miss affair. Sure there is the wonderful ZenCha, overrated yet good Northstar, obnoxiously crowded and scenester dominated Banana Bean, or downright awful Tee-Jays, First Watch, or Bob Evans. Sure I could pop in for a bagel at Panera or Einstein, but sometimes a little variety is good. Being out at the Worthington Farmer's market and having heard good things, we opted for La Chatelaine. Set up as a quaint French bistro, yet with a kitchen full of highschool guys and servers/cashiers no older than sixteen I must say I rather doubt the cullinary expertise of the staff. All things being equal, though, the servers did a good job of describing items and filling orders, so I cannot complain. Between the two of us we ordered two coffees, a half baguette, a croissant, a chicken and olive quiche, a chocolate mouse, and a pistacchio croissant. Standouts included the fantastic pistacchio croissant and the elegant yet delicious chocolate mouse as well as the stupendous french caramel coffee with unlimited refills. Lowlights were the lack of Nutella, a MUST at any legit french bistro (or American equivalents such as Bouchon,) high prices for quality/portion ($25 for the breakfast,) and the pre-prepared nature of the quiche which simply made the crust too dry by the time we arrived at 10am. In reality, I have to say I enjoyed the meal but believe that it was overpriced. On future visits I'd certainly opt for a chocolate mouse or berry tarte and coffee, but my search for a good French bistro in Columbus will have to continue. Not bad, but not "great" either.

    Service was great......Marco is always there greeting you with a smile and a bonjour. We've only had breakfast here but so far it's been great. Omlets light and fresh, hot chocoloate taste like cocao and not sugar hersheys/ swiss (i'm a Mormon so i don't know what the coffee is like), and the pastries are great! Patio is awsome for an early morning breakfast.

    I don't understand the appeal of this chain restaurant. I food is plain, typically dry and has little flavor. The clientele is always rich old people the 4-5 times I have stopped in. The initial service is cafeteria style. (You have a tray and slide it along picking out items you want and slowing making your credit card company happier and happier.) I have not had the croissants, but the reviews here say they are excellent. The sandwiches are basic, but not in a good way. They remind me of something my grandmother would make to be fancy, but falls flat. This review got an extra star for the Tomato basil soup, which is terrific. I think the prices are incredibly steep. I have had food at many other places that was so much better, for so much more reasonable rates. The patio is nice, but if you are going here thinking it is like Sage Bistro, you will be letdown. I have not had a lot of things from the bakery. I am hoping this is where the place shines.

    I never write a second review for a place, so this is specail! I just popped in real quick to grab a baguette for dinner. I asked for it at the counter without seeing they were out, and instead of saying "sorry we're out" I hear "hang on, let me go make you one"....I offered to take one of the ones already made, but he insisted. What a great buisness! It really pays to be a regular here!

    My husband and I received from a friend, a $20 gift certificate she won here from a raffle. Thank goodness we only had to shell out an extra $10 on top of that or I would be furious. $30 for what we had is pitiful. The way you move through the cafeteria lunch line was corny, and he people are not helpful or pleasant. I got a cinnamon raisin croissant (cinnamon roll) which was so hard I could barely pull it apart and could barely chew it. I returned it for one that was only slightly softer. I also got an omlet that was good, but not great. They recommended their wheat bread when I asked what my choice of bread was with my eggs. It was very hard, no soft center. My mouth is torn up on the inside from trying to eat it. Hmmm, maybe I don't understand French food, but it was stale. They claim to make their own, so It should have been fabulous. My husband had an omlet that he said was good, I think it had salmon and cream cheese. He also had an apple fritter that was also stale. If this is what French food is supposed to be like, I HATE FRENCH FOOD. I will never go back.

    A great cafe. We mainly go here for soup (love the creamy tomato basil), salad, pastries and wine. The food selection is relatively simple, but almost everything we've had has been well made and enjoyable. The variety and quality of the wines and pastries make it particularly stand out from most Columbus restaurants in its price range. We particularly enjoy coming in on the weekend when we have the time to enjoy a couple glasses of wine, a small meal and a pastry dessert. It's not the cheapest dining choice, but I feel the prices are reasonable given the quality of the food and service. I'm not a fan of the weekday buffet lunch. I am a fan of soup and bread to go as a quick dinner.

  • Laura J.

    While the food I've had here has always been great (among my favorites are the turkey sandwich on baguette, tomato soup, quiche, and pastries), what I really come for is the rustic decor. I always enjoy my meal here, but my favorite thing is to meet a friend, sit and chat (I love it both inside and on the patio), and enjoy some good coffee and friendly service. This is not a cheap place, and I usually feel like I spent a bit too much, but when I leave I feel as relaxed as if I just had a mini vacation. And when compared to the cost of a trip to Europe to a similar cafe, it's definitely a bargain.

  • Lesia C.

    The food is just okay. I had herb omelette and my husband had fathers day omelette which looked and tasted like mine except for it had meat. I also had a fruit bowl and croissant and 2 cups of coffee. We paid $27. Fruit wasnt ripe. All in all it was ok, but for that price I would expect a little bit more. It is a buffet style breakfast and if I had not been to the place before for dinner I would probably ever be back after having this breakfast.

    Bad Service--Bad Food--Believe me-this is the farthest thing from a French Bistro. Having spent time in Paris, I never tasted such sub par food or had a manager actually seem annoyed that I questioned why the watery vegetable soup was devoid of vegetables. The only thing the place has going for it is location--being in the center of Worthington during the Saturday Worthington market--otherwise it would definitely not be crowded. One visit was enough for me--no return.

    A co-worker had recommended this establishment. When I walked in, it felt like walking into Grandma's kitchen. For the first time visitor, the staff was friendly, and the service was helpful. A friend and I ordered fruit tarts, which were not too sweet and very fresh. I also had a cappuccino with a great foam. I definitely need to return again for the fresh lemonade.

  • Rose R.

    I'd choose the baguette and maybe a cup of coffee here, although I probably wouldn't go again. We had lunch - a veggie sandwich for me and french onion soup and sandwich for my husband, followed by a napoleon dessert. Everything was borderline terrible. Veggie sandwiches can be hit or miss (usually a miss) and my sandwich maintained that 'miss' reputation; I'm going to stop ordering veggie sandwiches altogether I think. Anyway, the sandwich had an unappetizing, dry and tasteless combo of uncooked and unseasoned sweet peppers and a sprinkling of lettuce, and the french onion soup came out as broth with a few onions and swiss cheese on the side (which was odd). The french fries were decent. The napoleon wasn't fresh and after I found a hair in it (that wasn't mine!), I was done. We've had true french food in big cities as well as on French occupied turf, and this restaurant was a sore representation. The only reason I didn't give it a one star is because the service was good and the baguette was tasty.

    When I first moved to Worthington, I frequented La Chatelaine regularly for the desserts and soup and to sit outside on the lovely patio. I quite like the general ambiance and food, but feel it's a bit overpriced for what you get. After living in France for a while, I've come to realize this is authentic (albeit simple) French cuisine... Caesar salads, Croque Madames and Monsieurs, tarts, baguettes and French onion soup. The flavors are good, but not great. The desserts rock! I still like to come here on occassion. The patio remains one of my favorite outdoor drinking spots in Columbus, It's quiet and unlike so many other patios, overlooks a more scenic part of High Street in Olde Worthington. This location is a little different than the La Chatelaine closer to me, and I enjoy the formal rustic ambiance the restaurant here takes on during dinner time. I still can't say the food is any better here than at other locations. It's good. Not great. But who needs Caesar Salad and Croque Madams? They carry their signature fabulous baguettes, crusty peasant breads and pastries. That alone is enough to get me in the door on a regular basis. If you struggle to find parking on High Street, a large, free, public lot is located behind the building, accessible from New England.

    I would love to know why people rave about this place. Yeah, the setting is cool and the historic building is interesting, but in my two visits, I left hungry after not having any desire to finish my food. I mean, when you pay a premium for a croissant breakfast sandwich, you don't expect the croissant to be Sahara-dry, and the sausage and eggs to be flavorless. I'm having trouble thinking of a worse breakfast sandwich I've eaten in my life, and that includes McDonald's. The coffee is bad, too. Fortunately, in my last visit, the Worthington Arts Festival was taking place right outside the door, so I could supplement my breakfast with some good food. La Chatelaine is basically a cafeteria. With the Worthington Inn, Old Bag of Nails, O'Ryans, etc., all within walking distance, there's no reason to come here.

    Nothing bad, nothing specific to say anything good. So if you are looking for some good bread and french pastries, try it out. On a nice day, there a patio area which is relaxing and quiet to take a break.

  • Emily S.

    I haven't tried their food but I did stop by for their bakery goods. We got an enclair (YUM!) and a chocolate croissant. I think we finished them both before even getting home. We were hoping to try some of their apple turnovers but we had to wait 15 minutes for them to reheat. (Reheating from the same day's batch so not as bad as it sounds). All their baked goods are made fresh everyday at the Chatelaine on Lane St. Then they deliver them and pop them in the oven. So if you're not going to the Lane St. location, try calling and asking if they have what you want. This way you won't have to wait 15 minutes for a croissant.

    This place may only be great at lunch or brunch. After reading the previous reviews, I was all set to have a great bistro dinner. I was very disappointed. I ordered the equivalent of a chicken pot pie (Vol au Vent de Poulet à la crème fraiche) and it was lacking in flavor and dry as a piece of parchment. My friend ordered the filet Mignon Sauce Béarnaise and Frites. The frites were from frozen potatoes not fresh and the filet looked like it fell off a truck. Aw, come on! The whole idea of a bistro is fresh. If you're not going to adhere to its true meaning, take it off your sign! The only redeeming quality of this restaurant is the dessert. The Chocolate mousse was so luscious I wanted to bathe in it. The decor is quite charming and the wine selection bears more research. This may have been great when it first opened but I would keep to the daylight hours and forget dinner. I'm sure they could do much better.

    Nice atmosphere. Nice patio. Friendly people. Good almond croissant, croissant and pan chocolat. Coffee is sadly mediocre. They had 3 kinds of reg. coffee and one decaf. I tried all 3 regular and they were all folgeresque. All in all, if you are going for the pastries I'd recommend.

    A great place to go for fast French food. Counter service is very fast (even through huge lines), ordering primarily from the pre-made items for breakfast and lunch, including fresh salads, soups (including the required "french" onion, but also other French countryside-inspired soups and stews) - served in breadbowl if desired (for a nominal charge), plus quiches, croissants, and sandwhiches like the aforementioned (and delicious) croque monsieur. The croques are usually only available at lunch time, and go fast, so make sure to get there EARLY. Dinner options also introduce one or two daily specials, again usually french countryside-style dishes - try the vol au vent if you can -- a creamy chicken stew-like dish served in a bread bowl. And if you're still hungry - well, they've got desserts for days - pastries, tortes, muffins, cookies and other treats, all baked fresh - the "Bakery" in the name isn't just for show!

  • Tracy S.

    La Chatelaine is probably the most likely place I'd become a local. I love stopping by in the afternoon for any kind of pastry - chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, fruit tart, anything, and a cup of coffee. It's simple but the baked goods are exceptional and the main attraction. I do find the lunches a little lacking, but aside from the calories and the long interval between preparation and actual eating time, I can't complain about a croque monsier. I'm less likely to dine here for dinner because of the simple approach that French food has in general, but that is not a fault of La Chatelaine.

    Best croissant in Columbus. I am picky about my croissant. I won't eat one unless it's really good. This is the ONLY place in Columbus that does a proper croissant, and that is what I get 9 times out of 10. I've also had their lunch special, which is fine, nothing amazing, but a half sandwich and bowl of soup for $7 or so. I also tried their happy hour for the first time last month and thought that was a good value. We got a cheese plate, the fries (which were killer and very belgian), and some sort of battered fried cheese (how can that not be good?). It was too much for two people, but at half price HH apps, it didnt' matter too much. They also bring out bread and butter. We had the signature martini, which was sweet, but very tasty. I had to pace myself as I wanted to drink it too quickly. I believe they were $4. I'd return for happy hour, and I will always return for the croissant. Oh, my dad who lives just a couple blocks from the arlington location always gets the blueberry muffin and likes that. It's more like a mini loaf. The ambience is pretty nice, it does have a slight european feel. PS. Oddly the next best croissant in Columbus is the frozen mini croissants from Trader Joe's. They aren't bad! You have to let them thaw/proof overnight and bake them in the morning. Pretty good, pretty pretty good.

    Worst restaurant in Columbus. The service is horrible. I stood there for 15 minutes while no one asked for my order. Then I recieved a sandwich that was on the driest bread ever made and came with no condiments which resulted in another 15 minutes while I waited for somone to give me a side of mustard. The enviroment in this horrible establishment is very cafeteria like. I felt like I was in high school again, however, my high school's food was at least edible and had some level of service. At one point I thought I was going to have to sacrafice the other half of my rock hard sandwhich to throw at the wait staff in order to get my condiments! How this place has survived so long in Columbus is beyond me. Anyone who thinks this place is good must have bellied up to the wine bar for a few hours before having to go through the agony of trying place an order for bland food. I would highly recommend walking straight past this restaurant when you are in Worthington. I paid $15 for a bad enviroment and a horrible sandwich, not worthy it at all.
