The lamb was enjoyed by my companion & the duck linguine was delicious!
Bustling but the tables are at a reasonable distance from each other. 100% a great location, I will be back!
I was in town for a conference & chose Le Carré for a nice dinner because it was nearby.
I walked in the door & James sat me at the bar & proceeded to take the best care of me for the rest of the evening.
I was torn between 3 mains that all looked good, & James talked me into ordering the lamb shoulder. He said it was the best dish they served, & still it exceeded my expectations. I asked him for a wine to go with it, & he recommended a full bodied red that paired very well.
For dessert he recommended the crispy maple squares, despite the fact I was considering 3 other options. At this point I felt I had no choice but to listen to James, & again he did not disappoint.
This was easily the nicest meal I have had in years. Thank you very much James & the staff behind the scenes at Le Carré. I wish I lived closer so that I could visit again soon.
I am shocked by the 4.7 review( as of July 2025), I did not feel like the food was up to expectations. Most of the table took the duck pasta because the waiter recommended it, it was a good 6/10. Did not taste like any duck was in it & the ingredients were particular… Honestly so disappointing. The service was really just okay, nothing special. The restaurant is very small, so you probably need a reservation.

The wagyu burger is out of this world, it was cooked to perfection juicy & tender. The charred broccoli was so different than anything I've had & I was so delighted. The cocktails were amazing too. The mojito Carre was smooth yet distinguished. The old fashioned Carre was smooth & classic. The star of the show besides the amazing service, friendly staff & perfect bread was the crème brûlée, the best I've ever had.
My wagyu burger tasted exactly like the black bean vegetarian burgers my girlfriend makes, that iS NOT a compliment. & the saffron scallop risotto was delicious but very small portion size.
Von der Dekoration zum Essen bis zur Bedienung super individuell mit viel Mühe. Einzig die laute Atmosphäre im kleinen aber feinen Lokal ist etwas störend. Der Sommelier berät gerne zum Wein, jedoch ist der selbst ausgewählte Weisswein auch bereits sehr gut.
