Cafe des Amis in Northumberland

Food was amazing! Staff was knowledgeable about what items were gluten free. I have celiac and pretty sensitive to cross contamination and had no issues. Can’t wait to go back!

This is one of our favorite places. Every time we go we try to get something new, but always have to pick at least one old favorite (the mussels, scallops, and veal sweet breads). The filet, scallops, and scallops are always our favorite entrees. The pork is great, but I suggest to ask for a thicker cut as it seemed to be more moist. The wine list is also a chapter book and fun to look at.. and the desserts are spectacular. 10/10. Especially if you get to meet the owner who is a complete delights. I won’t even try to spell his name, but he is very French, and the most personable and hospitable and happy go lucky guy ever. If you happen to find him opening bottles of champagne via a knife, you’re in for dinner and a show! 10/10

The food was delicious, and the service was amazing. If you're in the mood for French dining, this is a great choice!

The lamb came out missing the wine sauce, and we weren't asked if we'd like a second glass of wine until we asked for the check. We felt entirely ignored by our server.

I'm not easily impressed and the bar is pretty low sometimes in Kansas City. Everything was spectacular. The atmosphere is intimate and upscale but also relaxed like eating in someone's home. Every dish we had was special and well done. The wine recommendations were delicious, they fired each course at the perfect time and the service was great. They left us alone but also didn't miss a step. A hidden gem and a prime example of what more restaurants should aim for in an ever more corporate, burn and turn cafeteria style of alot of local restaurants. Great job.

Our dinner was very tasty. Great service.

Had a great lunch outside today! Service and food were excellent and priced nicely! Try it if you’re around Parkville! Wish I’d had room for dessert as I’m sure they were fabulous.

This is our very favourite place to eat. I live in Newbiggin and we come here a couple of times a week because it's just such a lovely friendly cafe and the food is amazing. The scones are easily the best I have tasted and are cooked fresh every morning and I love the interesting fruit varieties with jam & cream. The tasty cheese on toast on nice bread with chutney is anougher of my favorites. On sunny days I choose the Mediterranean wrap with olives. My partner loves their cooked breakfast and he's a breakfast connoisseur and not easy to please. Whatever you choose the ingredients are high quality so the food tastes great. The setting lives up to its name as it's a lovely place to meet friends. There's seating in the garden, conservatory or inside the building and wherever we sit we love it. I have to mention the staff who are so lovely and friendly, particularly Angela who we think is great, she makes us feel welcome and makes us laugh with her unusual sense of humour. It's easily the best cafe for miles around.

A Lovely little cafe, great quality food, warm and friendly staff. My partner and I dine regularly all over Northumberland and this is one of the best cafes around. Beware of negative reports ( competitors can use this tactic) visit the premses and find out for yourself...............

We popped into cafe Des amis on a rainy day, conservatory was cozy and warm and dog friendly (even free doggy biscuits) The cakes and scones were fantastic I had a slice of Victoria sponge which was lovely and my friend had a plum and cinnamon scone which she thoroughly enjoyed We will definitely be back

Atmosphere rated low because of snooty French staff--remember you're in Parkville Missouri! Didn't like how we were treated, felt like they were rushing us out. Food was disappointing to many of us. Description on salad menu did not match what was served. Salad had goat cheese (which I dislike) instead of Blue cheese, salad dressing tasted like nothing but garlic juice, first time I have ever left a salad! Fish didn't have enough flavor. A very disappointing night at cafe Amis!

Took a friend for coffee and scones. I'd been before for lunch, very nice. But found scones quite dry and crispy right the way through. We have been ordering coffee and scones for the last 18 years around Northumberland when we meet up and if the scones aren't good, we don't return. I'll still go there for lunch, no problems there. Comfy, friendly cafe.

I had lunch today at this restaurant! I was very impressed with the food and service. I ate beef bourguignon. I was not impressed that you either walk up 22 steps with a cane or climb a hill. I am disabled. I hope to come back and try other food on the menu.

Reservations pretty much required. Quaint upscale French restaurant in Parkville. We went for lunch, but they were kind enough to let me order the Duck confit off the dinner menu. I'm allergic to red meat and this was as close to roast as I've had in years. My husband had the scallops and the sauce it comes in was delicious. HUGE selection of wine that comes with a book to give you lots of info about the region and wine itself. We were lucky to sit outside and it was absolutely perfect.

I wish I knew of this place sooner, but now that I do, we will definitely be back! Food was so flavorful and well prepared. Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is nice as well... we sat on the patio. Recommend the trout and the pork. The vegetables that are served with the entrees are so delicious. Highly recommend.

We were in town for a family event and stopped in here to get a bite before the event. I'm so glad we did. We didn't have a reservation and we were lucky to get a table. I would highly recommend a reservation on a weekend, it's worth the guarantee of a table. The food was amazing. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and presented beautifully. Their house wine selection was so good that we bought a few bottles to take to our hosts later that evening. The service team was impeccable. I've travel the country for work, and that was one of the best fine dining teams I've had. The prices were extremely reasonable, I've spent more at chain restaurants for food that wasnt close to equal. You won't regret making this restraunt your choice for an evening out.

The food and setting was 5 stars, and the service was spectacular. We went all out on the appetizers and desserts. Highly recommend the veal sweetbread with polenta, so tender and well seasoned. This place blew Le Fou Frog out of the water because they don’t season their food well. Also loved the burrata and heirloom tomato salad, it was a great dish to share. The escargot dish had a delicious garlicky bite to it so we loved it. The desserts were yummy too, and not overly sweet which was a bonus. The dining area in the back was very cute and romantic.

Lovely breakfast today at cafe Des Amis as usual. All quality ingredients served by lovely pleasant staff. We wouldn’t go anywhere else in Morpeth. Oh and the prices are so reasonable they don’t take your eyes out.

This family owned and run place is amazing! Food, service and atmosphere are all excellent. The wine list is extensive and our sommelier friend was very happy. Between 4 of us and 4 courses we ordered and shared 11 dishes. They were all very good. Personal favorites were the sweetbreads and short ribs special. Best meal I have had in years. And incredible value for money. Looking forward to cooler weather and dinner on the beautiful patio.

With such a wonderful time at this French bistro The staff was amazing and so knowledgeable this is a must if ever you're in parkville

We had a wonderful gathering here. The food and service were excellent. I don’t get out this way often but always happy to eat here when I do!

It was a fantastic time. Charming location, delicious food, and polite service. Duck Leg Confit, Chanterelles Pâte Maison, and Chocolate Soufflé were all délicieux!

Staff: I accidentally came while they were opening but the staff was super friendly and still sat me. The lady was really friendly and the gentlemen was polite. They refilled my water when needed. Food: I got the snail dish(escargot). It was tasty. The portions are small and light, maybe that’s a French thing. Atmosphere: There was nobody else there so I’m not sure how it is when it’s busy. I would go again to try others foods as a light snack.

What an amazinging night. The food and service were top notch. The perfect birthday celebration.

Great place to celebrate our anniversary but we should come more often!

Update the food is still very fine. I still highly recommend it One of the best meals I have ever had. Fantastic truly French restaurant. The food is really nice. Their French wine menu is so complete that it could be confusing.

Took my husband here after I went here with a friend a few months ago! Customer service was amazing. Food was great! 🤍

Trout, duck, and pork were excellent. Seafood was not as good as expected. Drinks, wine, dessert well worth the trip to Parkville. Service was good. Prices were LOWER than expected, across the board. Very reasonable.

The food here is exquisite. If you like seafood, do not miss the bouillabaisse...it is outstanding! So was our lovely server, Sarah. She was very helpful with menu questions and was warm and engaging throughout the evening. We will definitely be back!

If I could give this place six stars for atmosphere, I would just for the ambiance on the patio. Nestled in the treetops with soft french music playing in the background, it's very relaxing. Food is traditional french, executed exceptionally well. Everything from their soups, mussels, quiche Lorraine and crepes, you can't go wrong. Do not skip dessert and don't plan to be in a rush. Take your time and enjoy a bottle of Louis Picamelot blanc de blanc, perfect on a hot summer day. If that's not your thing, they have a whole wine book to choose from. Enjoy!

I hadn’t been here in a few years and the return did not disappoint. Service was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Food was as good as ever and the wine list is still a great selection and price ranges to choose from.

This cozy French restaurant is located in a small, historic city. Separately, I had dined with my partner, family, and friends. I even celebrated Father’s Day and my birthday here! Each visit was a heartfelt one. The service was attentive and prompt. The French cuisine was delicious and hot. I would recommend this location for the romantic and quiet ambiance. Kudos to the friendliness and professionalism of the owner and service team. Outstanding job developing the space further and maintaining consistent service and food quality. It is very difficult to come close to the reputation of Cafe Des Amis in Kansas. Lastly, a reservation is recommended!

I searched for creme brulee, and found an absolute treasure! In town for one night only and thought I'd look for a place with my wife's favorite dessert. Cafe des Amis popped up and showed great promise. Was a bit of a drive from far West KC, but definitely worth it. The best overall dining experience I have had in a very long time! Immediately welcomed with a huge smile and taken to our reserved patio table. Service was relaxed, but efficient when needed. Both the server and busser were very friendly and very knowledgeable. The wine list was an actual book with detailed descriptions of their very large selection. The menu was simple, in the best way, and we decided to go "all out" and order quite a few different things. Everything from the herbed butter right down to the mini macarons was incredible. Escargot, burrata salad, beef filet, lamb chops, soufflé, and of course creme brulee were all expertly prepared glorious tributes to culinary achievement. The beautiful setting and slight breeze just topped our date night. Make a reservation and treat yourself immediately! We are already talking about making a weekend getaway trip to come back.

Such a charming bistro. The dishes were all outstanding. Between the six of us, everyone loved their plates! Guillaume was delightful! We’ll definitely be back!

The food was fantastic we loved everything we had

So much hope, but disappointed. Soft white Italian bread @ a French restaurant. 🤔 Overnight pork that likely needed a week if that's as tender as they could make it overnight.🙄 Creme Brule ice cold and so bland that they must have forgotten the vanilla. 😶

I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but the Lamb Chops were amazing!!! I stumbled across this place while on a run. Making a reservation was the best decision. The service was great and I ate outside because the weather was perfect. Wine, muscles, and Lamb.

Amazing restaurant fit in and old local. 100% true French. Love it.

Oh my. This was my first time here, but definitely not my last. EVERYTHING was amazing from food to service to atmosphere.

Acquaint little French restaurant on the second floor in downtown parkville. The food was amazing and Sarah was a fantastic server. The timing on the courses was perfect.

Pleasant dining experience. Good food and great service.

The little French bistro is located at the top of wooden stairs on a corner with goof signage. It's quaint and lovely. The waitstaff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the food and drinks, quick with good recommendations. The food and drinks were perfectly delicious and visually appealing. We received our check with a pleasant surprise, two delicious mini macrons, perfectly al dente. The only negative I can offer is the number of tables in the small room which made conversation difficult, distracting and loud instead of cozy. Perhaps some sound deafening decor would help.

Café de Amis in Parkville, MO, offers a culinary experience that's both elegant and inviting. Starting with the bone marrow salad, each bite was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and exquisitely presented. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, while the quail dish showcased the chef's skillful artistry. The ambiance added to the charm, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. A definite gem for those seeking exceptional dining in Parkville.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had!

We stopped in for a little nosh while out shopping and the food did not disappoint. The service was not great, but thankfully we enjoyed our food. The wine list was very impressive, but I did not order anything.

The food is incredible and the atmosphere is lovely. The owner is so kind and welcoming!

Amazing French cuisine! The service was second to none!

Three of us arrived for lunch at 1 pm. The first thing the waiter said was that we should be sure to make our complete order all at once because the kitchen would be closing soon. Only when we tried to order did he say they were out of salmon. Two of us had wanted salmon. We decided to share the Salade Niçoise. I noticed the salmon wasn’t fully cooked. I asked if the salmon was sushi grade. The waiter said that’s how they prepare it- pink in the middle. Well, salmon is pink. I make it myself often. This was undercooked. We both asked for the fish to be more fully cooked. When the two portions came back to the table, I couldn’t tell if I received the same piece back, as it was in pieces and my portion had been one piece. I didn’t want to eat it. I ended up sharing the quiche my friend ordered as it was in two pieces. When we were ready to pay I asked if the restaurant was also out of green beans as there were none on the salad as they were supposed to be. The waiter came back and said the beans were cut up and on the salad. Well- two things. I know this salad is served with whole green beans and I know I didn’t see or eat any beans. Nor did my friend see or eat any on his half. At that point the waiter asked if I wanted to see the menu to verify ingredients. I felt insulted and chagrined that he doubled down to prove to me that I was wrong. I am sorry the restaurant has this waiter. He is not doing them any favors by not apologizing that the meal was less than satisfactory. The bottom line is not to go to this restaurant the day after a holiday - they won’t have the entrees they might need and don’t go at 1 pm when it is an hour from closing.

Amazing experience. Cannot wait to go back!

Such a lovely place for a celebration dinner. Food was amazing, as was the wine and service.

People were friendly, the place was modern and clean, food was good However the prices were ridiculous… 4 people over $500.00. We won't return. ☘️✌️

Food and service is always top tier. They deserve your money.

A lovely French restaurant in this cute little town! It is located on the second floor so be prepared to walk up a bit. Service is great and our server is polite, professional, and adds a little sense of humor! This restaurant has a great selection for soup of the day which I would recommend trying. My highlight is a special dessert called “Le Louvre chocolate mousse” The presentation and flavor are great!

Never a disappointment. Excellent food and service. Fine for family celebration or a romantic evening out. We love it

This is a family thing fave. On this visit the owner waited on us. If one desires continental dining this is the destination at reasonable price point.

It’s an incredible place! We’ve been here a few times, and it’s always delicious. We took a larger group here tonight, and everyone loved it. Highly recommend if you are looking for an amazing experience!

Wonderful food & a fun French atmosphere!

I went to this restaurant years ago and often visit the menu on Google to dream about it. The creme brulee was beyond perfect. I also had tapenade and beef filet. I remember the glass of wine was exquisite. Down to the cup of coffee, the flavors were amazing. It was somewhat balmy and we dined at twilight outdoors. It was like sharing a secret.

We just stopped by on our way back from airport. Food options were limited because may be its authentic french place but deserts were really good and I also liked their signature crepe

My brother lives in NC, and has been all over the world. Cafe Des Ami, in his opinion, has the best French food anywhere. The food IS fantastic.

We placed our order for drinks & a cheese & thyme scone & a slice of lemon & lime cake. Our drinks arrived about 10 minutes after we ordered. The food another 30 minutes later. The scone didn't have much taste & the cake was dry.

I had very high expectations of Cafe des Amis for my party of 30. Every aspect of food, service, and atmosphere far exceeded my expectations and those of all my guests.

One of the most wonderful restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. Had the scallops and my fiancé had the rack of lamb. Both were delicious. The owner waited on us himself, and was a wonderful host. Great location, great food, great environment make this a destination spot.

Authentic French restaurant and menu, food is good and different from what most Americans eat, great place to impress a date or to try your french

Food is fabulous, wonderful atmosphere, and the owners are so kind. I will definitely visit again!

A phenomenal experience! The atmosphere was sophisticated and comfortable, the owners knowledgeable, warm and welcoming and the food was "tres formidable!" Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Waiter was very kind and food was good especially the desserts.

My new favorite restaurant in Kansas City. Love there wine list and food. Service is top notch and the owners really know how to take care of there guest.

We ordered the scallops and trout for lunch and both were lacking flavor, and the ceiling register vents were filthy dirty, so don’t believe will ever go back there

This is my favorite French restaurant, possibly just my favorite restaurant hands down. The owner/co-owner is super entertaining to talk to, and the food it always top notch. They recently did away with the back patio and expanded the inside section to have 2 bathrooms now instead of 1. There are 3 different places to get 3 different experiences here. Inside the older more traditional side, outside on the side patio, and in the new l, more modern section. All great selections to be sure! If you ever find yourself in Parkville and have a craving for fine French food that won't break the bank, Cafe des ami is the spot to be. I'd go there over le frou frog any day.

My wife and I have dined here on several occasions over the years and have always left having had an incredible experience. The staff is very attentive, and Guillaume has never disappointed. We have celebrated many special occasions here and hope to be back for many more!

Amazing food every single time!

Rainy morning in Morpeth, so we called in for a cuppa and cake. Lots of seats available in the front of the cafe and served by a pleasant team member. Lots of cake choices but I opted for Mango & Passionfruit, very good choice. My hubby had his usual tasty scone. Tasty pot of tea and oat milk latte. Love this little cafe, we’re never disappointed.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely to sit in the garden on a sunny morning for coffee and breakfast. Excellent cheese scone, and cheesy muffin consumed. Looked like plenty of regulars there. Friendly staff.

I can’t say enough about this place. Been wanting to go for 3 years and finally had an excuse for my birthday. The wine list is beyond impressive and expertly curated. The menu is exotic and features food unlike anything else you will find in KC. The Prince Edward Island Mussels and Pan-Roasted Quail were incredible as was the crime brûlée and soufflé we had for dessert. This is a wonderful hidden gem in Parkville that I would recommend to anyone.

Great French food, amazing service and relaxing atmosphere.

Very tasty dishes. Reasonably priced. Amazing atmosphere. Great service! Definitely a must to visit.

Cakes - Homemade and great selection. Coffee - Delicious Staff - Friendly even when very busy Menu - Good selection with a few specials on the board also. Recommendations - Soup is always delicious, their salads in the summer and always try either a scone or slice of cake. The cheese and Thyme are always my favourite and the lemon drizzle (sometimes lemon and blueberry i think) is always a hit with me.

Good food, and wonderful service by the owner; It was a fantastic evening.

We go here often, and it's always superb, in every way. I've been a little shy of reviewing it, since I kind of don't want word to get out and have it get too popular to be available so easily for us. But they deserve it. It's hard for us even to think of going anywhere else in the KC area. Based on our several experiences, I simply don't buy that the few weak reviews are on the level.

Visited once again for a beautiful lunch in the garden. Nice to see the effort that has been put into making the garden look exceptional this year. Food was fantastic as always. Lynn always brightens my day - such a friendly member of staff. Great staff great food great times.

Delicious food; incredibly friendly and charismatic staff.

I had high expectation from the review. The atmosphere was amazing, perfect for a date night. The service was pretty slow and price were high, we were ok with this. The waitress didn't really come and check on us as much as we’d expect. They didn’t give us the breads until we asked and it was’t warm. The bread reminded me of italian bread with no flavor. Here is the review of the food. Pate with pickles were good. Mussels dish was quite bad. The broth was off and the muscle was overcooked and not fresh. Lamb was great. Soft and flavorful. The potato that came with the dish is terrific. Bouillabaisse was terrible. The broth was sour, lacks salt and seafood umami flavor that expects of this type of broth. Seafood were not flavorful. A big disappointment. Souffle. Good but not special Panna cotta. The texture was off. Overall, the foods were pretty standard to quite bad on some dish. French foods are much more flavorful and well prepared this. Pretty big disappointment. Total of my bill was $150 for two people and one glass of wine.

Wow!!!!! This place is awesome. The staff was very helpful, energetic, and very professional. This was only half of a great dining experience for the whole family. We showed up with no reservation and were seated at the bar and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everyone was more than excited as each plate came out. The mussels were extraordinary, and the wine and meal were top-notch. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Please order the duck confit, it is literally fall off the bone incredible. We also had the chefs special of barramundi and it was a 10/10 too. No complaints. My main tip is to order as soon as you sit down if you do want something specific as an appetizer or dessert because they will run out. We have to go back to try the mussels!

Cafe des Amis has to one of the best kept secrets of KC. They excel in everything from food, service, to atmosphere. This hidden gem is worth visiting. Their menu changes to pair with the season. You have an excellent selection and each dish is harmonious combination of flavor. Their dessert options are scrumptious in their own right, but the passionfruit sorbet will take you back with its perfectly tangy/sweet flavor.

Our visit was very disappointing for a few reasons. Firstly my cappucino was served in what appeared to be an espresso cup. The coffees were overpriced, for my espresso style cappucino was £3.10 (no syrups or extra shots). The service was extremely slow and considering there was my wife and I and one other customer in the cafe plus five members of staff - no excuse for it either. Overall very disappointing. I have barista experience and was shocked at the level of service and product considering the prices charged. Will not visit again.

Our favorite. Food is exceptional! Atmosphere and service, is perfect. You must experience this lovely restaurant.

This is an actual restaurant, it’s like the old days when there was such a thing as something decent anywhere. We ordered a lot, and everything was perfect. The steak was like looking into the face of God. Spotless. It was like a giant full-body sigh of relief, l wasn’t sure if I was going to cry or pee my pants. Thank you Jesus, thank you for this one tiny break in the nonstop onslaught of soul breaking nonsense we are all being forced to face daily

Always a first rate experience. The food is delicious and authentic French cuisine. The service is excellent without being over bearing. You can relax and enjoy fine dining in a small venue.

A gem of a café with lots of different, equally lovely, spaces to sit inside or outside with attractive decor around the indoor tables and beautiful plants around the outdoor seating. From the outside I expected it to be expensive but, whilst not cheap, it was no more expensive than most cafés these days and we had a really nice time when we stopped there for lunch. The food was good and the children's meal our kids ordered came in its own little wicker hamper which the children found delightful. The staff were friendly, patient and helpful and took the time to have a chat with us and our kids on our way out and gave us lots of recommendations of places to go on our holiday. I was sad that we didn't make it back later in the week because I'd spotted some very yummy looking cheese scones on the way out and having missed the soup and scone deal on this occasion as whatever the soup of the day had been it was evidently very tempting because by the time we arrived there was none left, I was keen to pop back in for a soup and scone lunch. Fortunately we all enjoyed our stay in Morpeth so hopefully we will visit again and can return to this charming café.

We liked the atmosphere. The service was adequate. I had the goat cheese salad- the cheese and crostinis were very good, the jam was nonexistent and I found the dressing on the field greens bitter. The lamb was very good, but the vegetables extremely disappointing. The potatoes were good but very small portion size- about 3 bites, and they were a bit cold. Other than that was one small slice of tomato, 2 almost raw stalks of asparagus and cabbage which was an odd choice for late May, and extremely over salted. My husband had the asparagus soup and it was fibrous and not very good. He also had the rabbit which was a bit tough and also very skimpy on vegetables/sides. The soufflé was good, but again the ice cream served with it was about the size of a walnut. We still enjoyed our night together, but when paying over $100 for a nice meal- no drinks- we expected better. We wouldn’t go back based on our experience tonight.

Amazing food and service. Such a unique gem. Perfect for a date night, catching up with friends and family and pretty much any other occasion where you would appreciate wonderful food and great service. Menu is clear and concise with options to satisfy anyone. Everything we ordered tasted perfect. And the dessert… oh my. They had strawberry rhubarb sorbet as a special and it was superb. Not to mention that we came in late on a Tuesday night with 2 small hungry kids looking for dinner as everything else was closed and we were taken care of and felt welcome. If you want to break away from your usual chain restaurants and are looking for something special and inspiring, I highly recommend checking out Cafe Des Amis.

I live in Brookside and I haven’t been to a restaurant with better service than this. The cost is more than reasonable as well; I was expecting a $100 meal just simply based on our service and ambience. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. I am so excited to come back and will recommend to everyone!

Excellent food and a very warm service. Will come again!

Incredible. A rare experience these days. Incredible food and atmosphere.

Great service and amazing food! Really great price for the quality.

Friendly servers and excellent food. Highly recommended.

The food was great! The service was just very slow. Would come back.

Our server, Joseph, was extremely friendly and offered great recommendations to my wife and I! The food was delicious, the patio was beautiful and the service was superb.
