"This Cali-meets-French restaurant in a coveted bungalow space brings out the masses most mornings. Devotees line up for breakfast (although Cafe Nouveau is also open for lunch and dinner), eager for quick service and satisfying dishes with a California perspective and European technique." - Gab Chabran

The reviews speak for themselves. Seriously, the food was insanely good! The potatoes au gratin were maybe the best I’ve ever had? We went around 12:30pm on a Wednesday and didn’t even wait for a table. The service was great. The prices are expensive, you can expect to pay at least $20 per person. But that’s to be expected with high quality food. I don’t regret the money spent at all! We will definitely be back.

Incredible every time. The complimentary flavors, wide selections, and large portions don't even begin to describe the food. I get something different almost every time, and I'm always impressed. The atmosphere is similarly undescribable, in this adorable old home that's been carefully turned into an Art Nouveau paradise. Even the bathrooms are works of art. The soft music matches the turn of the century. The owner, Carlos, is active throughout, always fine tuning and ensuring a wonderful dining experience. Cannot recommend enough.

Large breakfast/lunch menu. Everything was awesome. Need to come back to try the other dishes. If you get a chance to have Susan serve you, you’re in luck cause she’s super friendly and knows how to navigate the menu depending on your tastes.

Wow! I seldom go out for breakfast, but we went in after having this recommended to us. Its well worth it! Carlos the owner has a we oiled highly trained service and culinary staff, we had Maple Bacon Beignets, Eggs Benedict, and the Breakfast Nachos, all were excellent! The service staff are all quietly communicating and work as a great team. Drop a napkin? It will be taken before you can take action and another one, clean and folded returned in moments. The coffee, ever refilled. Treat yourself and don't miss this place.

Excellent food and service! The staff were very kind and attentive, and you can tell they work as a great team. The menu is loaded with all kinds of options. The omelettes are great, sauteed potatoes with a little spice are a must, and the blueberry cornbread muffin is the perfect bit of sweet for a savory dish

This place has the vibe, the kind staff members, and the best food menu! I came for breakfast( huevos rancheros ) but made a note that I have to return for lunch and dinner. They have so many great options.

Come have breakfast at this wonderful little gem in midtown Ventura. You won't be disappointed! The menu is big, so you'll find what you want and leave satisfied. The price is reasonable, and the decor is so charming. It's a great experience overall, and if you're passing thru Ventura, be sure to visit. If you're a local, you have to try it at least once
