Everything about Cafe Navarre is five star quality. Every time my husband and I come, we thoroughly enjoy our meal, the service and the atmosphere. The mushroom soup is one of our favorites.

Went to cafe navarre for my family Christmas Eve meal and I am so impressed. Not only was the food incredible but the server was the best I have ever had. He was so knowledgeable on wine and drinks and was friendly. Would ask for him if you go!

Best restaurant in South Bend hands down. We had St Elmo’s the night before and were hesitant to order steak 2 nights in a row. So glad we did because Cafe Navarre’s filet was better. The Zuppa Navarre and rigatone alla vodka sauce were incredible. The service was also great (thanks, Autumn!).

Absolutely wonderful. The staff was nice both food and dessert was amazing. We were celebrating our first anniversary and the staff as well as the manager made the experience very special. We also received beautiful wine glasses as a gift and a “ happy anniversary” card signed by the staff. Definitely plan on coming back.

My fiancé set up a reservation, noting my birthday. Table for 1: they didn't put me in the center of the restaurant, had a little birthday card at my table, my birthday dessert came …

It was a wonderful experience! Our server, Zane, was absolutely outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made the evening extra special. The attention to detail was impressive, with Notre Dame and Navy logos printed on the menus, which was such a perfect touch for the occasion. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and my filet mignon was cooked to absolute perfection!

If you go to Cafe Navarre, ask for Autumn! She was one of the most attentive and sweetest waitresses we’ve had in a long time. Great service like that is hard to find these days, but you’ll definitely get it here. Also, kudos to the pastry chef — incredibly talented! The flourless chocolate cake was divine. We’ll absolutely be back!

Visited this awesome spot with my hubby, baby, and mother in law. Food was excellent! I enjoyed the branzino.

MIL usually orders crème brûlée and she was actually sad …
