Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Richmond

This was my 2nd visit to Chapeau and it even exceeded the first visit, which was excellent. Service and food here are exemplary. Highly recommend the Grand 3 course menu. I had the Lamb Shank and others in my party had Filet Mignons and Cassoulet. Wine pairings and cocktails are wonderfully concocted to complement the appetizers and main courses. The crème brûlée for dessert was just like being in France… It’s a superb dining experience.

Great experience at Chouquet's! Great food, friendly services, quick sit down.

It’s a pleasure experience on a Christmas Eve dinner.

A delicious and delightful departure from the same ‘ol, same ‘ol. Unique dishes, surprising combinations and traditional French favs for those who prefer that. We ordered ordered a collection of Indian-inspired small plates and loved everything. Creative drinks menu and lovely, cozy, quiet (but not dead) atmosphere. We will go back!

Reve is such a local gem. Excellent service, prompt and efficient. They nailed the moules frites and and scallop risotto. Very easy to make pretty good, it takes skill to make it sublime. A round of clicks for the chef!
