" My visit to Gilous Cafe exceeded my expectations. I often look for authentic French cuisine, and this place truly delivers. We started with a lovely tapenade, followed by a delightful Monte Cristo that was stuffed just right. The owner greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. I had a great time listening to the live music while enjoying our meal. Highly recommend it to anyone passing through Abingdon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thoroughly impressed by Gilous Cafe's commitment to quality and authenticity. The owner personally prepared our meals and the passion she has for her cooking is evident. I ordered the Beef Bourguignon, and it was rich and flavorful, reminding me of my travels in France. The cafe has a lovely ambiance and I could relax here for hours. Highly recommend for anyone looking for true French fare in a charming setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent little cafe. The decor is quaint and charming, resembling a French bistro. I tried the Croissant sandwich and was delighted at how flaky and buttery it was! The only downside was that the portions were slightly smaller than what I expected, but the quality made up for it. I would love to explore more of the menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gilous Cafe is a little slice of heaven! My friends took me here for brunch, and I was beyond impressed. Every dish is prepared with love; my Eggs Benedict was rich but not overwhelming. I adored the attentive service, and the atmosphere is both cozy and inviting. Definitely high on my list for next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited on a busy Sunday morning and was amazed at how the staff managed to keep their composure. The food arrived promptly despite the crowd. I ordered the Breakfast Croissant with scrambled eggs and bacon, which was delicious! The owner even came by to check on us, making the experience even more special. This cafe is a gem that I'd recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a little piece of France in Virginia, Gilous Cafe is it. I ordered a warm baguette sandwich and it tasted like it just came from a French bakery; crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dining experience was relaxing, although the service was a bit slow due to a busy day. Regardless, the amazing food makes it worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely breakfast here while traveling through. The french toast was fluffier than clouds and served with a side of mixed fruits. The vibe was relaxed with the owner greeting each table with a bright smile. It was refreshing and made the experience special. Looking forward to a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)
