Allez! - Diamond Springs

I'm really pleased to have a solid restaurant in town! We only tried their soup, the lunch box item on the menu, and the mini Saint-Honoré cake, but I'm excited to return for a full dinner experience. It was fascinating to learn about the background of this place; the chef/owner is originally from France and moved to the El Dorado area in the 1980s, settling here in 1988. The rest, as they say, is history.

Wonderful inviting atmosphere, very kind and talented staff. Great food and delicious pastries.

We went to Allez! on a Wednesday at 5pm and were able to find a table for four. All of the servers were very helpful and nice, the food was excellent (we have tried quite a few higher end restaurants in the area and Allez is really something special). We had the tri-tip with carmelized onions, cabernet sauce, and roasted red potatoes, as well as the pork chop with nectarine, and mashed potatoes. Our table shared four different desserts and each one was excellent. We will definitely be going back again!

I took my sister and brother-in-law out for lunch to celebrate her birthday, and it was fantastic! The service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding. We will definitely be returning.

We absolutely loved everything about this charming French café. We opted for the prix fixe menu and enjoyed the soup and perfectly cooked pork tenderloin. My husband chose the chèvre salad, which was also fantastic. Their homemade pâté was delightful as well. The staff were incredibly friendly, creating a cozy, family-run atmosphere. We will definitely return the next time we’re in town.
