" Looking for a quaint place for breakfast? Gilous is where you'll want to be! The staff is incredibly welcoming. I was in and out quickly, but the flavors of my ham and cheese omelet lingered well after my visit. Great experience all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" A special dinner with friends at Gilous was an incredible experience! The owner even came out to chat, which added a personal touch I really appreciated. The food was all homemade and authentic. I will absolutely make this a regular visit any chance I get! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fairly quaint experience with wonderful food. My partner and I enjoyed a candle-lit dinner where I got the Salmon and my spouse had the veggie options. Everything was tender and flavorful. The atmosphere was perfect for a cozy date night. Highly recommend for couples! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wandered in after hearing about this quaint little place, and I was not disappointed! The food was remarkably authentic. I ordered a warm Croissant with fresh raspberry jam, absolutely a hit! My only complaint was about the noise from the busy road nearby. The friendly service, however, overshadowed any discomforts. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little cafe for brunch! I loved the fresh ingredients they used in their meals. The eggs were as fresh as can be from a local farm, and I truly appreciated that! The owner came over to make sure we were satisfied, which felt very personal. I will certainly recommend and come back if I am in town again. " (*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*)
