Top Best French Restaurants in Lorain

"An annual METAL AS FV@K dinner complete with those juicy burgers served on a black bun (\m/) and its whimsical opposite, Wes Anderson Day, in celebration of both Chef Jonathon Sawyer and Anderson's birthday (and there's never a wrong time to toast to Bill Murray). Combine that with a rooftop patio overlooking the brick-lined E 4th St, and you have a bird's eye view of one of the most buzzing districts in the city. It's even hosted rooftop yoga up there."

"Some of Cleveland’s most celebrated restaurants and entertainment hubs pepper this pedestrian-only street, including Lola, The Greenhouse Tavern, and Pickwick and Frolic. EVENING: PLAY ON Depending on what season you're in town, you can cheer on one (or more) of our three major league sports teams or our minor league hockey team. The Cleveland Indians (MLB), Cavaliers (NBA), Browns (NFL) and Monsters (AHL) are all located Downtown."

"The Greenhouse Tavern is a rooftop bar located above East 4th Street and it promises epic views of the bustling city below. Apart from the views and the relaxed ambiance you will be getting at this rooftop bar, you are also bound to love their selection of drinks that feature a wide variety of can beers, craft cocktails, wines by the glass, and five rotating drafts which provide extra opportunities for imbibing even more."

"Set in an old carriage house on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, L'Albatros is a traditional French brasserie with charming patio seating that serves a creative menu of contemporary French cuisine. Owned by renowned chef and restaurateur Zack Bruell, the restaurant offers daily specials, and signature dishes such as freshly grilled salmon, mussels with pomme frites, duck confit, cassoulet, and bouillabaisse. Guests can also enjoy gourmet cheese plates, globally-inspired wines from around the world, a selection of craft beers, and signature cocktails."

"If you polled a large cross-section of Cleveland diners on their favorite restaurants, chances are good that L’Albatros would land near the top of the results. Chef and owner Zack Bruell runs a handful of wonderful restaurants, but it’s this nearly perfect French brasserie that rises above the rest. Set in a renovated carriage house on the leafy campus of Case Western Reserve University, the chic eatery offers deft, modern takes on classic bistro fare like onion soup, escargot, duck confit, cassoulet, and steak frites."

"A chic brasserie, amid the setting of a rustic 1800's carriage house located in the heart of University Circle. Chef Zack Bruell brings a refreshing twist to classic French cuisine."

"Founder Brandon Chrostowski got his start in top-tier restaurants here and abroad, but when he set out to open a Cleveland bistro of his own, he charted a very different course. In place of seasoned pros like himself, Chrostowski brought in formerly incarcerated folks who needed a second chance. During the six-month program, student-employees work every station, from prep cook to server, learning how restaurants actually work and picking up a trade that can serve them well for years to come."

"Otherwise, some of the best dinner spots in the city include Il Rione Pizzeria, Edwins, Gigi’s on Fairmount, Red, the Steakhouse, Salt+, and The Greenhouse Tavern. If you’re looking for a particularly fancy option, you might want to make a reservation at one of the most romantic restaurants in Cleveland!"

"To start, get the assiette du Fromage with three French kinds of cheese, crackers, fresh fruits, and currants. Next, you could order the delicious and classic cassoulet or beef bourguignon, but some favorites here include the ratatouille crepe and the cheesy Croque monsieur. This establishment is perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner."

"A post shared by Jay Gullion (@jaygullion) on Jul 4, 2015 at 9:03am PDT. Le Petit Triangle Cafe is inspired from a Parisian cafe. Owners Tom and Joy Harlor’s intention of the cafe was to be a neighborhood place where people could come together to be with friends and family and enjoy delicious food."

Perfect for a Sunday brunch and a stroll around Ohio City, this little French restaurant will fulfill all of your crepe needs. Their creme brûlée is to die for, and make sure to peep their absolutely massive jars of Nutella."

"i have been dining at Johnny's Downtown for almost 15 years. It is still my favorite place in Cleveland to dine when I want elegant surroundings,…"

"It seems whenever a Best of Cleveland list is compiled, Tomo finds a way to be a part of the list or at least part of the conversation. In addition to having a world class menu for sushi, seafood and asian food, Tomo is one of the premier clubs in the region. With five levels of food, dancing and lounge areas, Tomo is a one stop shop for dinner and dancing."

"The Marble Room Steak and Raw Bar is a high-end restaurant in a magnificent setting that offers a refined and unforgettable dining experience. Set within the historic old bank building on Euclid Avenue that has a rich history dating back 100 years, the one-of-a-kind Marble Room Steak and Raw Bar serves prime steaks and farm-raised meat dishes, fresh seafood and catch of the day, organic salads and vegetables, and mouthwatering sweet and savory desserts. Signature dishes include whole Maine lobster, seared yellowfin tuna poke bowls, diver sea scallops, and seared Hudson Valley duck breast, all of which are accompanied by hand curated wines from around the world, handcrafted cocktails, and imported craft beers and spirits."

"I was provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Marble Room this past Wednesday dinner. While I originally entered for my favorite beer, I was benefited... (216) 523-7000Order online"

"Old Brooklyn's Jack Frost Donuts, located at 4960 Pearl Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the family-owned Cleveland staple 4.5 stars out of 265 reviews. Whether you grab the classic glazed or one of the specialty options, the shop has a wide assortment of fresh doughnuts ready for the hungry masses. Jack Frost's offerings include the Cookies and Cream with white cream and crushed Oreo sprinkles; the Fat Elvis with powdered sugar, peanut butter cream, banana filling and bacon bits; and the Death by Chocolate with chocolate icing, chocolate custard, chocolate syrup drizzle, chocolate cream and a chocolate-hazelnut pirouette stick."

"I feared a sugar-fueled energy rush followed by an equally powerful crash resulting in cranky kids. However, all the kids had phones or other electronic devices so they were in their own little world during the car ride. There are times that this is totally ok."

"The donuts look beautiful but they are way too sweet due to way too many toppings. The donut quality is ok but it's a waste when you need to scrape ..."

"There’s a number of restaurants that cater to a vegetarian palate, but vegan options can be much harder to come by. Luckily, Cleveland Vegan cafe and bakery opened its storefront location in 2014 after operating as a catering company for two years. Enjoy a range of creative options, including the Swiss chard enchiladas (pictured), with sweet potato, kale, and roasted pepitas wrapped in Swiss chard with homemade enchilada sauce and sour "creem," as well as the best-selling breakfast sandwich, a house bagel with chipotle "mayo," sauteed kale, avocado mash, house omelet, tempeh "bacon," alfalfa sprouts, and tomatoes."

"Cleveland Vegan, located in Lakewood, OH, started as a vegan catering company, but recently opened a afé and bakery with more vegan options than almost any other restaurant in the Cleveland area. Every item on the menu is vegan, and many are raw and gluten-free as well. From cookies and muffins in a wide variety of flavors (like strawberry rhubarb, buckeye, double chocolate, and apple walnut oat) to bars, brownies, scones, donuts, croissants, cinnamon rolls, and even custom cakes and “cheezcakes,” the bakery has virtually any vegan treat you could imagine."
