Go here while you can still get a reservation, this place is going to book-up fast once word gets out. My wife and I went here after reading about it on a local forum and it was phenomenal!
From the bread and amuse-bouche to the coffee at the end of the meal, everything was delicious!
We picked a croissant and brioche for our bread- light, fluffy, buttery, amazing! The amuse-bouche was a sweet potato base with a foam and candied pecan… excellent.
For appetizers we got the beetroot salad and escargot. Both were unlike any escargot and beat-root salads we’ve ever had in the best way possible.
My wife ordered the duck and I got the steak frites. My wife said it was the best duck she has ever had! The skin was crispy, the meat was cooked to perfection (let the chef decide how much your duck should be cooked, don’t order it over cooked!).
My steak was cooked perfect (rare- as it should be), and the fries were thin, crispy and the perfect complement.
The deserts were the perfect end to the meal. The flourless chocolate cake with a mango sorbet and passion fruit topping was rich and tart, not overly sweet. Perfect. The crème brûlée was easily one of the best we’ve ever had, outstanding. The coffee was excellent as well.
All of this was made even better by the incredibly attentive and courteous staff! Our server, Caitlyn, was open and honest with her suggestions and seemed to delight in the opportunity to help us have the best meal possible. She was great. The rest of the staff was equally attentive and were laser-focused on making sure we had a great meal.
We will be back, if we can get a table.

My husband and I went to De La Terre for a belated Valentine’s Day celebration and had a wonderful time! The ambience was lovely. Well decorated, tables were not crowded, easy to hear conversations and perfect lighting. Everyone was very friendly, and service was prompt but all the food was well timed. We never felt rushed to finish a dish to make room for another.
Our amuse-bouche was a morel mushroom stuffed with goat cheese, and a wonderful start to the meal. We ordered the french onion soup, tuna tartare, and beet salad to start. All were the best version we have had. The tuna tartare was bursting with flavor, and the goat cheese ice cream was a wonderful added touch to the beet salad. For mains, my husband had the halibut and I had New York strip with blackened cabbage and a mustard sauce. These were also both divine, perfectly cooked and so flavorful.
All in all, we had a lovely time and a fantastic meal. We will be returning!

MainLine Today selected De La Terre BYOB as its best new restaurant in Philadelphia western suburbs. Evan and I visited them last night. Overall, they were fine. Service was very good, the seating was excellent (tables not placed on top of one another), and the chefs have some obvious skills with the French preparations. I would say several of the dishes lacked “personality”. It is not that they had bad flavors; more that they lacked distinctive flavors. The deviled eggs are a good example. Very well prepared, but kind of boring. My wagyu beef tartare was exceptionally well made but lacked seasoning of some kind (salt? pepper? something else?). I also definitely made a mistake by choosing the steak frites since it felt like something I could get at any more moderately priced restaurant but I paid $45. The flourless chocolate cake was good but was unnecessarily decorated with unhelpful add ons. There are other restaurants on the list where we have had experiences we were more enthusiastic about: At The Table, Amada Radnor

We have been looking forward to dining at De La Terre for a few weeks, and are very pleased! To have a higher end dining experience like this in Downingtown is welcome and refreshing. Right from the start, including how we were greeted, seated and treated we knew we were in for a wonderful time. The atmosphere is pleasant, tables are spaced out nicely, and the decor all added up to a great time. We could hear our own conversations at the table but not those of the other diners. There was a perfect balance of ambience and low level music.
The staff was attentive, friendly, smiling and knowledgeable. You can tell these people know how to run a great restaurant. Our food was all perfectly prepared and served in a relaxing pace. Our appetizers included oysters, escargot, and the cheese plate. Our main courses were the king bay salmon, the gnocchi, the venison and the duck. All delicious! Every detail from the initial champagne toast to the little chocolate treats and French press coffee at the end were perfect!
Go and enjoy this new and exciting establishment! Such a treat compared to all the other mediocre places you can find everywhere else.

Delicious French food and wonderful service. The complimentary champagne and amuse bouche was a very nice touch. We had the eggs, escargot, steak tartare as appetizers and the duck and the gnocchi as entrees. With crème brûlée for dessert. All delicious! A few photos of the yummy dishes.

Hands down The BEST French Restaurant in the tri-state area! The fact that they can deliver high end French cuisine while incorporating locally sourced farm products and brands to the menu is truly amazing. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable and professional. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they’re putting out..
100% recommend for not only the amazing food but the experience!
