I've been going to this place since they opened.
I was SO happy when I heard on the radio they were opening one close to me I could not believe.
First time I went to La Madeleine was in NOLA, my father-in-law lives there and they have one in his neighborhood. We go there for breakfast almost every day!
Since they opened this one in Charlotte I've been there a few times (not as many I'd like to :) )
The place is very cute, with a French chic decoration, in their restrooms they have French audio "classes" which I thought it was interesting.
The place is clean and big so it fits large parties without issues. The staff is well trained and nice.
Their options are good and their desserts are divine! I love the fruit tarts and the chocolate parfait , they are my favorites!
This time I had a lentils and kale soup, potatoes chips and cheese and ham sandwich. The potato was so delicious with a fresh hint of lime, the soup was pretty good too and my sandwich good, crispy on the outside, warm ham and melted cheese inside. My gas and had the chicken parisiense sandwich (I am not sure I spelled it right) that was great! We also had vanilla fruit parfait, chocolate and lemon tarts.
The only downside is that sometimes they keep sandwiches ready to go on the buffet counter and I rather have my sandwich made per order.
