My first time dining here was during this past Dine Downtown. I made a reservation since I knew it would be busy. I am glad I did given that we were not seated until 30 minutes after our original reservation time. By the time we started dinner, I had two French 75s. LOLI was impressed with their prix fixe menu because they offered five entrees. I ordered the Guillaume's Cassoulet (Duck Confit), and my best friend ordered the Bœuf Bourguignon. We both started with the soup (pureé of roasted sunchoke & mushroom, shallots, cream, ham & gruyère gougère) and finished with the Baba au Rhum (sponge cake soaked in spiced rumsyrup, apricot preserve, chantilly). Unfortunately, my entree was overly salty, which is to be expected because it involves a curing process. I would like to come back to order from their regular menu to see the difference!

thank you for the adding-a-zero-to-my-tip-wrong fiasco on top of a meal 10 pistachios, four slices of white bread, lone raspberry, and not one but TWO!!!! strawberries!!! And maybe 18 cabbage leaves with a tablespoon of vinagrette for 40$ they added in extra "0" to the end of my tip - making it more than the entire meal as a whole. I get making a mistake but my server friends told me that is incredibly stupid on their part bc they should verify what both the tip and total say and it sounds like they blindly typed in the tip and never double checked. resulting in me having to call for a refund which they also messed up. it's all sorted out thankfully but for a restaurant that expects you to pay for a "high quality" experience it's incredibly embarrassing. this has never happened to me or anyone i know, too

Worst service ever! Had a conference at the Hyatt and walk over during a 1.5 hour break. Should have been more than enough time. Had to waive down a server after a 20 minute wait. She was rude and had nothing but excuses. Yaaahhh you're going to be busy for lunch on a weekday downtown..... waited 44 minutes more and still no food. Had to walk out as the break was up and grabbed a slice of pizza, which was actually great! Upper Crust, You rock!!!Never going to Brasserie Du Monde again!!!! You couldn't pay me!!!!

We decided to pick BDM for our second dinner during Sacramento's Dine Downtown 2025. With an early dinner reservation during a Sunday, street parking wasn't a problem within Sacramento's Cathedral area. Entrance was via the Esquire Tower lobby. We got seated immediately after checking in with the host.For drinks we had our usual Espresso Martini (Carajillo a la Roche) and Old Fashioned (Winter Cherry OF).Pour Commencer (to start): - Butter Lettuce and shaved Radish salad with Sherry & Dijon Vinaigrette- Puree of Roasted Sunchoke & Mushroom with Ham & Gruyère Gougère (puff pastry)Plats Principaux (main dish) - Bœuf Bourguignon - Duck Confit Cassoulet Dessert (just learned it's French)- Baba au Rhum (Sponge Cake Soaked in Spiced Rum Syrup, Apricot Preserve and Chantilly)- Gateaux au Carottes Americaine (Classic Carrot Cakewith Pineapple & Cream Cheese Frosting)Mispronounciations aside, it was a decent French themed dinner for us. Though quite limited with indoor seating, they did a great job in harmonizing the full bar and decor (1930's) with the tables and chairs. The staff was attentive enough to check on us often. It was a "frequent change of tableware in between courses" kinda meal which earns BDM 5 stars.

Sadly was very disappointed. My boyfriend and I came here for dine downtown and were disappointed when we arrived and the menu had completely changed from what was originally on the website. We were not informed of that when we made a reservation or when we got there. Our server was quite rude when we asked about the menu change and did not check on us the whole dinner service unless it was to take our plates away and even then she didn't say much. We were told we only had 90 minutes to sit due to reservations for the dine dowtown but from when we arrived until we left only 1 other party showed up and the restaurant only had about 3 tables sat excluding us. The food however was more disappointing then the service. We shared the soup and salad for the appetizers and the soup was so bland and the salad had a huge piece of the bottom of the head that we couldn't even eat. The main courses (the duck and the short rib) were better but overly salted. The desserts were alright, we both enjoyed the carrot cake but the soaked rum cake was not good. Our cocktails were the star of the show and made our dinner more enjoyable. Although the restaurant was beautiful and could have been more than what it was, I would not recommend it. I hate leaving bad reviews but I will not be returning here.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Brasserie Du Monde. Steak and frites is one of my favorite meals and theirs did not disappoint! My steak was cooked to perfection and my fries were fresh and crispy. My mom ordered the duck it was okay but I enjoy duck more at Chinese restaurants if that makes sense. The wine was good and complemented both of our meals. The dessert we enjoyed as well , the cheesecake was good and fresh and the crème brûlée was as expected. Can't really go wrong on crème brûlée! I definitely would come here again I would like to try their brun

I Was lucky enough to get in on the last day of the Dine Downtown 2025 Series at Brasserie Du Monde.This looks like a fabulous restaurant and to get a three course sampling at Brasserie is an extraordinary experience.The menu's first course consisted of either the butter lettuce salad with Sherry & Dijon Vinaigrette or the Purée of Roasted Sunchoke & Mushroom soup. My girlfriend and I got one of each, both fabulous.The entrees were numerous but we both got the Bœuf Bourguignon Braised Beef Short Rib, Potatoe Pureé, Mushrooms, Snow Peas, Carrots, Red Wine Reduction. Great meaty pieces of beef in a red wine sauce an amazing dish.Last but not least the dessert course offered their classic carrot cake of the Baba au Rhum. We both got the carrot cake which we love as dessert aficionados.This was all for $45.00 a piece which is why the Dine Downtown is such a great deal. Brasserie Du Monde did a fabulous job with the choices and the great service we were offered.We got a great meal and a fabulous selection of some the dishes they offer.This is truly a great use of this Dine Downtown week and we will be back with friends.

My friend and I selected this restaurant for the dine downtown special, this place is a hidden gem. Reservations are recommended-they have free basement parking after 5pm on weeknights. The service was excellent along with the ambience of the restaurant with a French theme. The food was served hot and promptly. We had the mussels and fries as the appetizers which was delicious! This place is a must experience..

We went and tried Brasserie Du Monde for the 1st time for 2025 Dine Downtown with a couple of friends. I must say I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the quality of food and service. Our server was attentive throughout our meal and we all enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. Since we went on a Sunday, we were lucky enough to snag street parking but our friends parked in the Hyatt's parking garage. Most of us had the salad option for the 1st course. It was very fresh and herbaceous. One friend had the soup and really enjoyed it. 3 of us had the Beef Bourgogne and one had the risotto. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. The desserts were just ok but a nice way to end the meal and night. I would definitely recommend Brasserie Du Monde and would visit again in the future.

Ordered gnocchi here and found it overcooked and mushy, I couldn't even finish it. The server also was not super friendly, and didn't really answer questions regarding the menu. The ambiance however was great, they had awesome live music I really loved it and it made the overall hangout fun.
