Les Abeilles sur Belfort

There's no information anywhere that the restaurant is closed to all but sweets during the day. We pulled off the highway specifically for this spot on our long journey, as it was one of the few restaurants marked as open for lunch, and it turned out we could only have cake and coffee. It was misleading; there should have been a clear notice, especially since the lunch menu is displayed everywhere. The desserts were decent, nothing special, but they looked very nice. The place was nice, the waiter didn't speak much English, but at least he tried :)

My first time having lunch at this restaurant... Given the weather, I highly recommend the terrace... A must-visit if you're in Belfort...

Drawn in by the inviting entrance and dessert menu, we dined with friends and were ultimately a little disappointed by the portion sizes. The Parisian salad didn't have potatoes as indicated on the menu. My friend ordered a roasted Camembert, but it must have shrunk in the wash. The desserts didn't live up to expectations (the lemon meringue tart had a soggy crust and a hard meringue), and the pastries offered with the "café gourmand" didn't appeal to me. The service, however, was very quick and efficient. Overall, a bit of a letdown.

A very good place run by a very welcoming family.

I've been eating here for several years now, whenever I'm in Belfort. I love this place. The atmosphere is lovely, the servers are friendly, and the food is always excellent!

A warm welcome despite the crowds. The asparagus was delicious. The setting was lovely too. A very enjoyable experience.

A must-visit! Friendly atmosphere. Menu featuring fresh, seasonal products.

For years I've walked under its porch, always decorated to welcome us and guide us to this promising place, "Les Abeilles" (The Bees). I haven't found anything like it anywhere else. You pull open the door, and behind the curtain... pure bliss. The staff is always smiling and pleasant, a cozy place to settle in for a few minutes or longer to savor a hot drink like a cappuccino, Viennese hot chocolate, freshly squeezed juice, beer, and pastries that delight our eyes behind their display case and tantalize our taste buds... I'm a devoted fan, go there... you'll only want to go back! ✨️💖

I've been three times in total. The first time was perfect. But the other two times disappointed me in terms of the attention paid to the food and the customers. The second time, I ordered rabbit with spaetzle: it felt like we were being served whatever was left over; the portion of spaetzle was really small, and I'm not even a big eater. We mentioned this to the staff when we paid, and they simply implied that 'that's how it is, that these were the planned quantities'—no gesture of goodwill, no consideration for the customer's feelings. The third time, I ordered a pork knuckle, remembering the one I had the first time: this time, there was no salad to accompany it, contrary to the menu which indicated a salad. It was Saturday lunchtime, so the restaurant was busy... but that shouldn't justify a drop in quality, especially if the product doesn't match the menu description, nor should it justify a price adjustment. Another issue with portion sizes? It's a shame because the desserts are very good.

Nice place, very good pastries.
