Le Sucre Bistró - Cocina Francesa — Restaurant in Cali

This place could be so much better, the food in general was excellent, the bread was delicious and the deserts scrumptious, but how can you have a French restaurant without champagne. For this they lost a star. We wanted to celebrate our purchase of an apartment nearby and thought a French restaurant would definitely have a bottle of champagne. But no. No champagne or sparkling wine. So we settled for a bottle of Finca Las Moras Chardonnay from Argentina and sparkling water to make the first glass sparkle slightly. We ate Rollitos Veitnamitas - 2 Salmon and 1 veggie, both were delicious, and followed with Filet Mignon, which my wife loved and Blanquette De Veau which I loved. My sister opted for Crema de Calabaza soup. We finished with Torta De Banano y Almendras, Pan de Chocolate and Cappuccino. We took home some more chocolate bread and a baguette. I cannot finish this review without mentioning the table place mats. The co-owner of the restaurant came by our table which was nestled in a quiet place in their garden, and explained the mats significance. (see the picture) The drawing in the center of the place mat is a medical textbook drawing of a components of a heart and each component is labelled with the name of a dish, the message being eat well and look after your heart. I think the other co-owner is a heart surgeon. I think we'll be back (our new apartment is quite close), mainly for the delicious bread and...

Disappointing Experience

We were promptly seated at Le Sucre, but our overall experience was mediocre and borderline unpleasant. The service was disorganized, with communication issues between staff and the kitchen. Our meals arrived at different times, and there were significant errors – the beef sandwich order was forgotten, and the chicken sandwich initially came without chicken. Despite addressing the issue with the chef, the correction was poorly executed.

We ordered a french soup 19. 000 COP, beef tartare 42.0000 COP, Chicken Sandwitch 28.000 COP, a Beef Sandwitch 32.000 COP, a mandarin juice 14.0000 COP, and a bottle water at 4.000 COP.

Considering the spotty service and meal inconsistencies, the total cost of 138,000 COP seemed high. Regrettably, we won't be returning...

Le Sucre is a true gem, offering the best French-style food in Cali with a Colombian twist. Owned and run by a passionate chef, every dish reflects his dedication to excellence.

The standout? Their chontaduro crème brûlée. This exclusive dessert blends French tradition with Colombian flavors and sells out almost instantly—there’s nothing like it anywhere else.

Ex-pats will find a perfect fusion of familiar French dishes with a local twist, making it an ideal spot for a taste of home. The French bakery is equally unmatched, offering croissants and pastries rivaling those in Paris.

With impeccable service, this spot is as much about ambiance as it is about food. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s an unforgettable...
