We had an incredible dining experience at Left Bank Café in Saranac Lake! We came for their Guest Chef Series and were blown away. We sat right by the river, which made for a perfect, peaceful evening. The food was outstanding — we had the pork ramen with handmade noodles and the beef bourguignon. Both dishes were rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

We also had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, who was super friendly and passionate — hearing their story really added something special to the night. You can tell there’s so much heart behind this place. Highly recommend for both the food and the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Walked in late on a Wednesday – not a problem. Service was lowkey, food was wonderful. Cheese platter, spicy cauliflower soup, special soup chicken gnocchi and shared the fall salad. Apply cake topped it all off. Highly recommend

Finest dining in the Adirondacks. Cannot wait to come back again. The onion soup is amazing, a must try! The pasta dishes are incredible. The mushroom ragout is very good, the gnocchi with shrimp is possibly better. Enjoyed the fall salad with salmon added also. Again, I’ll mention the onion soup!!!!

We had a lovely meal for three. I had the shrimp, seasonal vegetables served on tagliatelle. Wonderful flavors. Other meal was salmon on a fresh garden salad. Salmon was cooked to perfection. We didn’t have any alcohol – dinner for 3 was $120.00 including tip.

My wife had the beef bourguignon and reported the potatoes were very old…in addition, the meat didn’t taste “fresh.” My wife is a good cook, and she suggested that the dish was probably heated up after sitting in a pot for a few days. Not worthy of a mid $30s entree in Saranac, NY. My pork dish was average too. IMO, food reviews at restaurants at this level should include a price/value component. Our total bill was $107 before tip and we felt it was worth $60. Ouch.

Oh, one more thing: the restaurant itself is very charming, but the 70s music was not appreciated, given the “French bistro” image they are trying to market. Perhaps someone was tired that night of French jazz. Just sayin’ it was weird.

Our waiter was good, though. It turns out charm can compensate for a lack of knowledge about the menu.

Phenomenal! We had reservations for a table but decided to sit with Kyle at the bar. He was so attentive and knowledgeable about everything on both the food and drink menus. We ordered everything he suggested and it did not disappoint! The charcuterie, chicken dish, and shrimp and risotto were outstanding. What a great experience. We will definitely be back.

Beef bourguignon had no taste of red wine nor of bacon, yet it was too salty for both of us. There was only 1 wait person on a Wednesday for a half filled room of perhaps 20 diners, yet this was a clearly known high tourist week for both peak leaf viewing and a mountain bike competition. The chicken fricassée was good but nothing unusual.
I would not recommend this venue

We dined Left Bank tonight and it was a tremendous surprise in a positive way. The setting is rustic and quaint and everything we tried we loved. The curry cauliflower soup and Caesar salad appetizers were very good. My wife had the pork meatball and peanut sauce Raman. She ate it all. I had the pork gnocchi with peas and thought it was fantastic. All in all, we will return when in town next year

We had a very enjoyable meal at the Left Bank Cafe. The drinks were well made, the apps were delicious and the entrees were all wonderful!
The service was very attentive. There Was a live pianist playing during dinner, which added a lovely bit of ambience.
If it had been warmer, a seat outside on the porch, overlooking the river would have been another delightful detail. Bravo!
